EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

 

Issue date:  January 09, 2020

 

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.  As agreed to by Laura Labeots, Attorney of Record on Thursday, January 9, 2020, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below.  Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections. TMEP §707. Otherwise, no response is required. Id.

 

ADDED DISCLAIMER

 

The following disclaimer statement is added to the record:

 

            No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “HOLOGRAPHIC COMPONENTS” apart from the mark as shown.

 

See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.08(a)(i).

 

AMENDED TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER

 

The application is amended to the Supplemental Register.  See 15 U.S.C. §1091; 37 C.F.R. §§2.47, 2.75; TMEP §§815.02, 816.01.

 

WHAT HAPPENS NEXT

 

The registration process starts once the trademark examining attorney issues an examiner’s amendment, and the mark is approved for registration on the Supplemental Register.  When the mark is approved, the USPTO’s database will show the mark has been “Allowed for Supplemental Registration.”  The Supplemental Register is an alternative register to the Principal Register, which is intended for designations that are not yet trademarks but are capable of someday becoming a trademark and registering on the Principal Register.  Marks approved for registration on the Supplemental Register are registered on the date they publish in the USPTO’s Trademark Official Gazette, a weekly online publication.  The USPTO publishes applicant’s mark and thus registers it within approximately two months from the date the trademark examining attorney approved the mark for registration; the certificate is normally mailed on the publication date.

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.”
