Application has been amended as shown below.  As agreed to by Carolyn Hart, attorney of record, on September 12, 2019, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below.  Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections.  TMEP §707.  Otherwise, no response is required.  Id.  

DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK: The following description of the mark replaces the current description of record:

The mark consists of the word "SHAPES" in capitalized bubble letters, with a black outline. The two "S" letters are white with emerald green lines curving inside the bubble letters in the shape of an "S". Light golden yellow highlights are included at the base of the "S" for each of the two and on the outside upper curve and inside lower curve of the first "S". The "H" and "E" have an emerald green interior overlaid with white and golden yellow intersecting lines and simulated light effects, making the two letters appear to glow. The "A" and "P" have an aqua blue interior, which is lighter and overlaid with golden yellow on the left side of the "A" and the right side of the "P". The right side of the "A" and the left side of the "P" have a darker aqua blue shadow. Both "A" and "P" contain dark aqua blue squiggles at the top of the bubble letters, which appear to be bumps rising off the letters. Additionally, both "A" and "P" have small protuberances stretching out from the top of the letters.

See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.72; TMEP §§808 et seq.

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

·         Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

·         Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
