Dear Jennifer,
Joint Venture was a typo - it should have been Joint Stock company which I would refer to as a Corporation.
Please feel free to call me at 3475155238 if you wish to discuss this further.
I am available tomorrow (Tuesday) from 9am to 11.30am EST, and from 3pm EST onwards.
Thanks,
Giulia

I just need to know what type of entity to put for the applicant. I assume Joint Venture is not correct. Is it “corporation” or is there a different entity that the “S.A.L.” abbreviation stands for, which would be equivalent to a U.S. corporation? I need to make sure it is accurately reflected in our database.
Thank you.

Dear Ms. Dixon,
(1) We agree with the amended wording suggested.
(2) The U.S. equivalent would be "Inc."
Feel free to contact me at (347) 515-5238 or via email if you have any questions or you need any additional information.
Thank you for your attention to this matter.
Best regards,
Giulia Sambugaro.

Application Serial No.: 88649623
Mark: PLASTIK
Good morning Ms. Sambugaro:
I am the trademark examining attorney with the USPTO assigned to the above-referenced application(s). There are some issue(s) that must be addressed before the application can be approved to proceed to publication.
This writing follows a voice-message left for you earlier today.
(1) IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS – The wording “visual, culture and art” does not make sense as the subject matter of the magazines. Specifically, the word “visual” does not specify a recognizable subject or field. Additionally, “new creative talents” is not specific enough to specify a field. Therefore, the following amended wording is proposed, if accurate (changes underlined):
Class 16
Magazines featuring visual culture and art; Magazines in the field of arts and new creative talents in the field of art; Posters; Prints; Art prints; Color prints; General feature magazines; Graphic prints; Graphic prints and representations; Graphic art prints; Graphic fine art prints; Photographic prints
(2) ENTITY CLARIFICATION REQUIRED – The entity in the application is listed as a joint venture, but only one applicant is listed, which is unusual. The abbreviation “S.A.L.” is not listed in the Appendix D of the Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure, which lists recognized Foreign Entity designations. See TMEP 803.03(i). Therefore, the applicant must indicate the U.S. Equivalent of its legal entity or provide a description of the nature of the foreign entity. See 37 CFR 2.32(a)(3), 2.61(b); TMEP 803.03(i).
I can enter the above proposed changes by Examiner’s amendment, with your approval. However, I need to act on this application by tomorrow. Therefore, please respond with your instructions by 6:00pm EST TODAY, if possible, but no later than 12:00pm Saturday, January 18th. If you are unable to respond by that time, I will send an Office action making this requirement, but am still happy to do an Examiner’s amendment at a later date.
I look forward to your reply to this email or you may telephone me at the number below.
Thank you for your time and consideration.
