Issue date: October 10, 2019
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on 10/8/2019.
In a previous Office action dated 9/13/2019, applicant was required to satisfy the following requirements: clarify the color claim and mark description, obtain U.S. counsel, and pay an additional processing fee for providing a color drawing without stating where color appeared in the mark.
Based on applicant’s response, the trademark examining attorney notes that the following requirements have been satisfied: clarify the color claim and mark description and obtain U.S. counsel. See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
Applicant has not yet submitted the additional processing fee that is required of TEAS Plus applications that do not meet certain filing requirements, such as providing color drawings without a description of where the color appears in the mark. Thus, the trademark examining attorney maintains and now makes FINAL the requirement in the summary of issues below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b); TMEP §714.04.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES MADE FINAL that applicant must address:
REQUIREMENT - ADDITIONAL PROCESSING FEE: TEAS PLUS STATUS LOST
As stated in the 9/13/2019 Office action, the additional fee is required even if applicant later corrects these application requirements.
The requirement is hereby made FINAL.
