EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

Issue date:  August 11, 2022

PARTIAL ABANDONMENT – APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED

The above-referenced application is partially abandoned because applicant failed to file a response to the Office action dated January 26, 2022. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)-(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a). To avoid partial abandonment, a response was due within six months from the date on which the USPTO sent the previous Office action; however, no response was received within this time period. See TMEP §711.

The outstanding Office action included a requirement that applied to only a portion of the application; therefore, only that portion of the application is abandoned. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a).

The portion of the identification that was the subject of the requirement will be deleted from the application. The application will proceed with the following identification: “Downloadable intelligent personal assistant software for voice recognition, natural language processing, searching the internet for traffic and weather information and appointment reminder; downloadable speech to text conversion software; downloadable computer software used to process voice commands, and create audio responses to voice commands; downloadable computer software for enabling hands-free use of a mobile phone through voice recognition; downloadable computer application for mobile phones, namely, software for voice recognition, natural language processing, searching the internet for traffic and weather information and appointment reminder; smartwatches; downloadable computer chatbot software for simulating conversations; dictating machines; Television sets; electronic book readers; Set-top boxes; Cameras; Audiovisual receivers; video screens; remote controls for televisions; electrical adapters; Power adapters; rechargeable batteries; batteries, electric”.

If applicant’s failure to respond was unintentional, applicant may file a petition to revive the portion of the application that abandoned. TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(d). The petition must be filed within two months of the issue date of this letter using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) Petition to the Director form with the required fee. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.23(a), 2.66(a); TMEP §§718.02(a), 1714.01(a), (d). Once the petition is filed, notify the Petitions Office at 571-272-8950 that a petition to revive a partially-abandoned application was filed, specifying the application serial number.

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 to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

·         Beware of trademark-related scams.  Protect yourself from people and companies that may try to take financial advantage of you.  Private companies may call you and pretend to be the USPTO or may send you communications that resemble official USPTO documents to trick you.  We will never request your credit card number or social security number over the phone.  And all official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  Verify the correspondence originated from us by using your Serial Number in our database, TSDR, to confirm that it appears under the “Documents” tab, or contact the Trademark Assistance Center.

·         Hiring a U.S.-licensed attorney.  If you do not have an attorney and are not required to have one under the trademark rules, we encourage you to hire a U.S.-licensed attorney specializing in trademark law to help guide you through the registration process.  The USPTO examining attorney is not your attorney and cannot give you legal advice, but rather works for and represents the USPTO in trademark matters.
