Issue date: January 21, 2022
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.
The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
However, the applicant must address the following informality.
Disclaimer
The attached evidence from the online Merriam-Webster Dictionary shows this word means “the practical application of knowledge especially in a particular area”. Thus, the wording merely describes a feature of applicant’s goods and/or services because farming and its related goods and services make use of technology.
Applicant may respond to this issue by submitting a disclaimer in the following format:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “TECHNOLOGY” apart from the mark as shown.
For an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to provide one using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), see the Disclaimer webpage.
