USPTO Official Notice

Office action (Official Letter) or Notice has issued
on 05/28/2020 for
U.S.Trademark Application Serial No. 88977796

Your trademark document has been reviewed by an Intent-to-use staff member. As part of that review, the assigned staff member has issued you an official letter or notice. If a response is required, you must respond by the specified deadline or your application will be abandoned. Please follow the steps below.

(1) Read the official letter or notice.

(2) Direct questions about the contents of the official letter or notice to the assigned staff member identified in the letter. Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website , the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

(3) Response may be required. Carefully review the Office action to determine (1) if a response is required, (2) the applicable response time period, and (3) how to respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). The response must be received by the USPTO before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period.

GENERAL GUIDANCE

Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.
Update your correspondence email address , if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.
Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.
Private companies not associated with the USPTO often use public information provided in USPTO trademark applications to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices-most of which require fees. These companies often have names similar to the USPTO. All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain "@uspto.gov." For a current list of companies the USPTO has received complaints about, information on how to identify these offers and notices, and what to do if you receive one, see the misleading notices webpage.
