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

NO-CALL EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

Issue date:  December 11, 2019

NO CONFLICTING MARKS FOUND

The USPTO database of registered and pending marks have been searched and no conflicting registered or pending mark has been found that would bar registration under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d) (2012).  Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure § 704.02 (October 2018). 

AMENDMENT

The application has been AMENDED as indicated below.  No prior approval or authorization from Applicant or Applicant’s attorney is required.  TMEP § 707.02. 

ADVISORY

“NO FOREIGN MEANING” STATEMENT WILL NOT BE PRINTED

The initial filing included a statement that “SANANBIO” 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. 

Please inform the undersigned immediately if there is an objection to any amendment; otherwise, no response is necessary. 

Sincerely,

/Judy Helfman/

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.”
