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: April 27, 2020
This Office action is supplemental to and supersedes the previous Office action issued on 7 February 2020 in connection with this application. The assigned trademark examining attorney inadvertently omitted a prior-pending application advisory relevant to the mark in the subject application. See TMEP §§706, 711.02. Specifically, the prior-pending application advisory for U.S. Serial No. 88347636 was inadvertently omitted.
The trademark examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the delay in raising this advisory.
Applicant must address all issues raised in this Office action, in addition to the issues raised in the Office action dated 7 February 2020. The issues raised in the previous 7 February 2020 Office action are as follow and are maintained: prior-pending application advisory as to U.S. Serial No. 88347702, requirements to amend identification of goods and services, request for information – sheet music, request for information, and amend the mark description. The advisory regarding a possible failure to function refusal is also maintained.
The following is a SUMMARY OF ISSUE that applicant must address:
• NEW ISSUE: Advisory – Prior-Pending Application
Applicant must respond to all issues raised in this Office action and the previous 7 February 2020 Office action, within six (6) months of the date of issuance of this Office action. 37 C.F.R. §2.62(a); see TMEP §711.02. If applicant does not respond within this time limit, the application will be abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a).
Advisory – Prior-Pending Application
In response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict between applicant’s mark and the marks in the referenced applications. Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
Upon receipt of applicant’s response resolving the following requirements discussed in the 7 February 2020 Office Action, action on this application will be suspended pending the disposition of U.S. Application Serial Nos. 88347702 and 88347636. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c); TMEP §§716.02(c), 1208.02(c)..
