INTRODUCTION
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

CLARIFICATION ON U.S.-LICENSED ATTORNEY REQUIRED
The application’s correspondence information includes the name of Carl Oppedahl, an attorney from Oppedahl Patent Law Firm LLC, whose bar information matches the one listed for the law firm information in the application. Accordingly, applicant must clarify if Carl Oppedahl is the individual attorney representing applicant. 37 C.F.R. §§2.17(b)(3), 2.61(b). Otherwise, applicant may appoint or designate a different attorney who is qualified to practice before the USPTO under 37 C.F.R. §11.14. See 37 C.F.R. §2.17(a).
Failure to comply with this requirement is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814. Merely stating that the attorney’s bar information is available on a state bar’s website is an insufficient response and will not make the relevant information of record. See In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).
To provide attorney bar credentials or to change bar information. Open the correct TEAS response form and enter the serial number, answer “yes” to wizard question #3, and on the “Additional Statement(s)” page in the “Miscellaneous Statement” field (1) explain the documentation provided and (2) click the button below the text box to attach evidence. To change attorney bar information, go to the “Attorney Information” page of the form and update the bar information section. Bar information provided in any other area of the form will be viewable by the public in USPTO records.
For this application to proceed, applicant must explicitly address each requirement in this Office action. For a refusal, applicant may provide written arguments and evidence against the refusal, and may have other response options if specified above. For a requirement, applicant should set forth the changes or statements. Please see “Responding to Office Actions” and the informational video “Response to Office Action” for more information and tips on responding.
