Office Action (Official Letter) About Applicant’s Trademark Application

EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

Issue date:  October 08, 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.

Application has been amended as shown below.  The trademark examining attorney is amending the application as follows.  No prior approval or authorization from applicant or applicant’s attorney is required.  TMEP §707.02.

In the initial filing, Applicant stated that the name shown in the mark does not identify a particular living individual.  15 U.S.C. § 1052(c); TMEP § 813.01(b).  Since the mark is such that no living individual inquiry would have been made, the statement will remain of record for informational purposes only and will not be printed on any registration certificate that may ultimately issue.  TMEP §§ 813.01(b), 1206.03, 1206.05.

The initial filing included a statement that “Sakaly” has no meaning in a foreign language.  Given the construction and appearance of the term, the statement is not necessary.  Therefore, the information will remain of record for informational purposes only and will not be printed on any registration certificate that may ultimately issue.  TMEP § 809.03.

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.”
