Issue date: June 30, 2021
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.
AMENDED DESCRIPTION OF MARK REQUIRED
Generic color names must be used to describe the colors in the mark, e.g., red, yellow, blue. TMEP §807.07(a)(i)-(ii). If black, white, and/or gray represent background, outlining, shading, and/or transparent areas and are not part of the mark, applicant must so specify in the description. See TMEP §807.07(d).
The following description is suggested, if accurate: “The mark consists of the wording “LotFancy” in stylized font with “Lot” in orange and “Fancy” in blue.
REQUEST FOR ADDITIONAL SPECIMEN SUBMISSIONS
Given the wide variety and range of unrelated goods that are listed in the application, applicant must submit additional specimens to allow for a complete and accurate examination of the application and assessment of the registrability of the subject mark, in accordance with Rule 2.61(b). 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); see TMEP §904.01(a).
Applicant should submit specimens demonstrating use of the mark on all of the following goods:
1) Paintbrushes
2) Banners of paper
3) Cards bearing universal greetings
4) Drawing pads
5) Paper coffee filters
If applicant is unable to provide specimens to support use of these items, applicant must delete these entries.
Failure to comply with a requirement to furnish additional specimens is grounds for refusing registration. In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §814. Merely stating that evidence is available on applicant’s or a third party website or providing a hyperlink of such a website is an insufficient response and will not make the additional specimens of record. See In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).
