NOTICE OF INCOMPLETE TRADEMARK APPLICATION

Issue date:  July 9, 2021

This trademark application does not meet the minimum requirements for receiving a filing date for the reason(s) stated below.  The serial number initially assigned to the application has been cancelled.  

Under 37 C.F.R. §2.21(a), the USPTO will grant a filing date to an application under §1 or §44 of the Trademark Act that is in English and contains all of the following:

(1)   The name, address, and email address of each applicant;

(2)   If the applicant is represented by a qualified attorney, the attorney’s name, postal address, and email address;

(3)   A clear drawing of the mark;

(4)   A listing of the goods or services; and

(5)   The filing fee for at least one class of goods or services.

In this case, the application did not meet the minimum requirements to receive a filing date because you did not specify a postal address and email address for the party identified as the attorney of record, specifically, Elizabeth Risha.  37 C.F.R. §2.21(a)(1); Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure (TMEP) §202. 

The serial number assigned to this application has been cancelled and the fee paid for the application will be refunded to you in due course.

You may file a new application containing the required elements.  The USPTO requires that new applications be filed using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), available over the Internet at http://www.gov.uspto.report/.
