SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS

SUMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
DATE OF EXECUTION OF APPLICATION OMITTED
The application does not set forth the date the application or allegation of use documents were signed; therefore, applicant must provide this date. TMEP §804.01(b); see 37 C.F.R. §§2.33(c), 2.61(b), 2.76(g), 2.88(g). For more information about this, see the Verified statement webpage.
To provide the date of signing. After opening the correct TEAS form, answer “yes” to wizard question #3, and on the next page of the form, in the “Additional Statement(s)” section, check the box for “Miscellaneous Statement,” and enter in the text field for the “Miscellaneous Statement” the date the application, AAU, or SOU was signed. Alternatively, to submit a new verified statement, answer “yes” to wizard question #10, and follow the instructions within the form for signing. In the case of a new verified statement, the form will require two signatures: one in the “Declaration Signature” section and one in the “Response Signature” section.
