`denying the request for the reasons stated below.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B),
`(a)(2)(E), 715.04(a).(cid:160) The requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final in the Office action dated December
`14, 2012 are maintained and continue to be final.(cid:160) See TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), 715.04(a).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n the present case, applicant’s request has not resolved all the outstanding issue(s), nor does it raise a
`new issue or provide any new or compelling evidence with regard to the outstanding issue(s) in the final
`Office action.(cid:160) In addition, applicant’s analysis and arguments are not persuasive nor do they shed new
`light on the issues.(cid:160) Accordingly, the request is denied.

`services rendered by members of the health profession and non-professionals under their supervision for
`the benefit of the patient” (see attached from ww.mondofacto.com). (cid:160) Based on the above definition,
`“rehabilitation patient care services” would be health services for rehabilitative purposes. (cid:160) The
`registrant’s services are physical therapy services. (cid:160) The attached from www.medterms.com defines
`
`physical therapy as “a branch of rehabilitative health.” (cid:160)(cid:160)

`
`he filing of a request for reconsideration does not extend the time for filing a proper response to a final
`Office action or an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (Board), which runs from the date
`the final Office action was issued/mailed.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §715.03, (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E),
`
`(c).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If time remains in the six-month response period to the final Office action, applicant has the remainder of
`the response period to comply with and/or overcome any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s)
`and/or to file an appeal with the Board.(cid:160) TMEP §715.03(a)(2)(B), (c).(cid:160) However, if applicant has already

`Private
`companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to
`mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.(cid:160) These companies often use names that closely resemble the
`USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.(cid:160) Many solicitations require
`
`that you pay “fees.” (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are
`responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.(cid:160) All
`official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark
`Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” (cid:160) For more information on
`how
`to
`handle
`private
`company
`solicitations,
