How to respond. Click to file a response to this nonfinal Office action.
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on 12/19/19.
In the original Office action, the examining attorney (1) requested a translation or a negative translation statement; (2) requested an amended identification of services; (3) requested information and (3) noted that TEAS-Plus status had been lost.
The amended identification of services is acceptable.
Applicant should note the following:
Foreign Wording
Note: If there is not English translation, applicant must so state.
Does “VICO” have any surname or geographic significance? See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §814.
Failure to comply with a request for information is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814.
TEAS-Plus Status Lost
Applicant must submit an additional processing fee of $125 per class because the application as filed did not meet the TEAS Plus application filing requirements. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(a), (c); TMEP §§819.01 et seq., 819.04. Specifically, applicant failed to meet the following application filing requirement(s): a translation of all non-English wording in the mark was not provided.
The additional fee is required even if applicant later corrects these application requirements.
