SUMMARY OF ISSUES:

TMEP §807.04(a). The requirements for a special form drawing are as follows:
(1) Shows the mark either in black on a white background, if color is not a feature of the mark, or in color on a white background, if color is a feature of the mark.
(2) Is of sufficient quality that will reproduce well.
(3) Includes in the application a description of all literal and design elements in the mark.
