`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
`AFTER FINAL ACTION
`DENIED
`
`International Registration No. 1546315
`
`Issue date: January 26, 2022
`
`Applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied. See 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3). The trademark
`examining attorney has carefully reviewed applicant’s request and determined the request did not: (1)
`raise a new issue, (2) resolve all the outstanding issue(s), (3) provide any new or compelling evidence
`with regard to the outstanding issue(s), or (4) present analysis and arguments that were persuasive or
`shed new light on the outstanding issue(s). TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
`
`
`
`
`Accordingly, the following requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final in the Office action dated July
`6, 2021, are maintained and continued:
`
`
`•
`
`Section 2(d), Likelihood of Confusion.
`
`
`See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
`
`In addition, the following requirement made final in that Office action is satisfied:
`
`
`•
`
`Requirement to amend the identification of goods and services.
`
`
`See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
`
`If applicant has already filed an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will
`be notified to resume the appeal. See TMEP §715.04(a).
`
`If applicant has not filed an appeal and time remains in the six-month response period, applicant has
`the remainder of that time to (1) file another request for reconsideration that complies with and/or
`overcomes any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s), and/or (2) file a notice of appeal to
`the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(ii)(B). Filing a request for reconsideration does not stay or extend the
`time for filing an appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3); See TMEP §715.03(c).

`
`USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE
`
`Office Action (Official Letter) has issued
`on January 26, 2022 for
`U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 79291970
`
`A USPTO examining attorney has reviewed your trademark application and issued an Office
`action. You must respond to this Office action in order to avoid your application
`abandoning. Follow the steps below.
`
`(1) Read the Office action HERE. This email is NOT the Office action.
`
`(2) Respond to the Office action by the deadline using the Trademark Electronic Application
`System (TEAS). Your response must be received by the USPTO on or before 11:59 p.m.
`Eastern Time of the last day of the response period. Otherwise, your application will be
`abandoned. See the Office action itself regarding how to respond.
`
`(3) Direct general questions about using USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the
`application process, the status of your application, and whether there are outstanding deadlines
`to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).
`
`After reading the Office action, address any question(s) regarding the specific content to the

`
`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 misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.
`Private companies not associated with the USPTO may mail or email you trademark-
`related offers and notices - most of which require fees. The USPTO will only email
`official USPTO correspondence from the domain "@uspto.gov".
`
`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 identified above is not your attorney and cannot give you
`legal advice, but rather works for and represents the USPTO in trademark matters.
