Subject: U.S. Trademark Application Serial Nos. 90203453, 90203455, and 90203458 -- Teva

 

Dear Mr. Rickles,

 

I am the USPTO Examiner reviewing the above-referenced applications.  I have completed the search of the Office Records.  However, I am unable to approve these applications for the reason explained below.  Nevertheless, I believe this issue may be resolved informally.  If appropriate and with your express authorization, I can amend the applications and issue Examiner’s Amendments for these applications.

 

Please respond as soon as is convenient, but not later than noon (EST) on February 12, 2021.

  

Translation

 

Applicant must provide an English translation of the mark.  I suggest the following, if accurate:

 

The English translation of the word "TEVA" in the mark is "nature".

 

If the above is acceptable and with your express authorization (e.g., return email, telephone call), I can amend the applications, as noted above, and issue Examiner’s Amendments for these applications.

 

Although the USPTO will not accept a formal response by e-mail, an applicant may communicate informally by phone or e-mail with the trademark examining attorney to agree to a proposed amendment to the application that will immediately place the application in condition for publication for opposition, issuance of a registration, or suspension.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.62(c); TMEP §707.  All relevant e-mail communications will be placed in the official application record.

 

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Thank you.

 

 

 

Matthew Howell
