Issue date: September 11, 2019
USPTO database searched; no conflicting marks found. The trademark examining attorney searched the USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.

Multiple-class application requirements. The application identifies goods and services in more than one international class; therefore, applicant must satisfy the requirement below for each international class based on Trademark Act Section 1(b):
Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fees already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods and services that are classified in at least 3 classes; however, applicant submitted fees sufficient for only 2 classes. Applicant must either submit the filing fee for the class not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
