DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK

 

The following description of the mark replaces the current description of record:

 

The mark consists of stylized images of two gods from Japanese mythology.  On the right is the god of wind holding a sack of wind over his head with ribbons flowing around him.  On the left is the god of lightning and thunderstorm holding drumsticks and surrounded by a rope with tiny Japanese drums attached and ribbons flowing around him.  Between the two gods are four stylized vertically-arranged Chinese characters.  Centered below the aforesaid image is the wording “FUJIN & RAIJIN”.

TRANSLITERATION / TRANSLATION STATEMENT

 

The following transliteration/translation statement replaces the current one of record:

 

The non-Latin characters in the mark transliterate to “FENG SHEN LEI SHEN” and this means the god of wind and the god of lightning and thunderstorm in English.

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.”
