NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: December 18, 2019
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issues below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
NEW DRAWING REQUIRED
Therefore, applicant must submit a new drawing showing a clear depiction of the mark. All lines must be clean, sharp and solid, and not fine or crowded. 37 C.F.R. §§2.53(c), 2.54(e); TMEP §§807.05(c), 807.06(a). Additionally, the USPTO will not accept a new drawing in which there are amendments or changes that would materially alter the applied-for mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.72; see TMEP §§807.13 et seq., 807.14 et seq.
For more information about drawings and instructions on how to submit a drawing, see the Drawing webpage.
MARK DESCRIPTION AND DRAWING REQUIREMENT FOR CONFIGURATION MARKS
In addition to these drawing requirements, applicant must also submit a clear and concise description of the mark that does the following:
(1) Indicates the mark is a three-dimensional configuration of the goods or packaging or of a specific design feature of the goods or packaging.
(2) Specifies all the elements in the drawing that constitute the mark and are claimed as part of the mark.
(3) Specifies any elements that are not part of the mark and indicates that the matter shown in broken or dotted lines is not part of the mark and serves only to show the position or placement of the mark.
See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(2), (b)(4); In re Famous Foods, Inc., 217 USPQ 177, 177 (TTAB 1983); TMEP §§807.08, 807.10, 1202.02(c)(ii).
The following description is suggested, if accurate: The mark consists of the three-dimensional configuration of a hang tag, comprising a red hang tag where one side displays the vertically-arranged letters “A R” and the other side displays the stylized design of a torch. The dotted lines in the mark are not claimed as part of the mark and merely show the position of the mark on the goods.
