FINAL 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) and/or Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form and/or to ESTTA for an appeal appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: December 01, 2021
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on November 15, 2021.
In a previous Office action(s) dated October 27, 2021, the trademark examining attorney required applicant to satisfy the following requirement(s): Translation of Foreign Wording, Processing Fee Required.
Based on applicant’s response, the trademark examining attorney notes that the following requirement(s) have been satisfied: Translation. See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
Further, the trademark examining attorney maintains and now makes FINAL the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in the summary of issues below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b); TMEP §714.04.
Processing Fee Required – Considered TEAS Standard Application
In the previous Office Action, the examining attorney required applicant to pay the TEAS standard fee. Applicant paid the fee for one class, but the requirement is for a fee per class. As such, the requirement is maintained and made FINAL.
Processing fee required. Applicant must submit an additional processing fee of $100 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), 819.03. Specifically, applicant failed to meet the following requirement(s): a translation of all non-English wording in the mark was not provided.
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 §819.03.
The requirement is maintained and made FINAL.
Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.
