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: January 01, 2021
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the requirements below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS – NO CONFLICTING 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, the applicant must address the following requirements.
TRANSLATION STATEMENT REQUIRED
TEAS PLUS STATUS LOST: ADDITIONAL FEE REQUIRED
Applicant must submit an additional processing fee of $125 per class because the application as originally filed did not meet the TEAS Plus application filing requirements. See 37 C.F.R. §2.22(c); TMEP §§819.01-.01(q), 819.04. Specifically, applicant failed to provide a translation statement for foreign wording in the mark.
The additional processing fee is required regardless of whether applicant satisfies these application requirements.
Accordingly, the application will no longer be treated as TEAS Plus; it is now considered a TEAS Standard application. See 37 C.F.R. §2.22(c); TMEP §819.04.
RESPONDING TO THIS OFFICE ACTION
For this application to proceed, applicant must explicitly address each refusal and/or 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.
