REQUIREMENT for Amendment to Mark Description/Color Location Statement
The Mark Description/Color Location Statement of record omits listing White as a color, thus it is inaccurate and must be corrected. Although applicant submitted a drawing showing the mark in color with a color claim, applicant did not provide the required description that specifies where each color appears in the literal and design elements in the mark. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); TMEP §807.07(a)-(a)(ii). Therefore, applicant must provide this description. See TMEP §807.07(a)(ii).
Generic color names must be used to describe the colors in the mark, e.g., red, yellow, blue. TMEP §807.07(a)(i)-(ii). If black, white, and/or gray represent background, outlining, shading, and/or transparent areas and are not part of the mark, applicant must so specify in the description. See TMEP §807.07(d).
The following description is suggested, if accurate:
The mark consists of a red human figure in a blue wheelchair on a red ramp with "AMRAMP" in blue outlined in white and grey.
REQUIREMENT for Amendment to Color Claim Statement
The following color claim is suggested, if accurate:
“The colors Red, Blue, Gray and White are claimed as a feature of the mark.” TMEP §807.07(a)(i).
