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 25, 2020
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
SEARCH OF USPTO DATABASE OF MARKS
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. However, a mark in a prior-filed pending application may present a bar to registration of applicant’s mark.
FOREIGN REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE REQUIRED
A copy of a foreign registration must consist of a document issued to an applicant by, or certified by, the intellectual property office in the applicant’s country of origin. TMEP §1004.01. If an applicant’s country of origin does not issue registrations or Madrid Protocol certificates of extension of protection, the applicant may submit a copy of the Madrid Protocol international registration that shows that protection of the international registration has been extended to the applicant’s country of origin. TMEP §1016.
Therefore, applicant must provide a copy of the foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin. If the foreign registration is not written in English, applicant must also provide an English translation. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b). The translation should be signed by the translator. TMEP §1004.01(b).
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 mark in the referenced application. 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.
IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES in International Class 35
Applicant must further specify the nature of the services of promoting the sales of goods and services of others as well as the industry information services. Providing information about an industry encompasses information about doing business in that industry and not about the actual goods or services provided by that industry.
Please see the acceptable definite wording in bold below suggested for indefinite wording.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
International Class 35: Advertising and promotional services; Conducting, arranging and organizing trade shows and trade fairs for commercial and advertising purposes; Labor exchanges; On-line trading services in which seller posts products to be auctioned and bidding is done via the Internet; On-line trading services in which users post requests for products and negotiate transactions via the Internet; Organization of trade fairs; Promoting the sale of goods and services of others by means of sales and promotional incentive award programs involving trading stamps; Providing industry information relating to the financial trading industry of commodity futures, securities index futures, overseas market securities futures, securities and securities index futures in overseas markets; Providing trade information; Trade information; Trade show management services
