`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED
`
`
`
`
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 7/26/2013
`
`
`
`
`
`The trademark examining attorney has carefully reviewed applicant’s request for reconsideration and is
`denying the request for the reasons stated below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B),
`(a)(2)(E), 715.04(a). The refusal made final in the Office action dated November 28, 2012 is maintained
`and continues to be final. See TMEP §§715.03(a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), 715.04(a).
`
`
`
`In 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. In addition, applicant’s analysis and arguments are not persuasive nor do they shed new
`light on the issues. Accordingly, the request is denied.
`
`
`
`The 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. See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §715.03, (a)(2)(B), (a)(2)(E), (c).
`
`
`
`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.
` TMEP
`§715.03(a)(2)(B), (c). However, if applicant has already filed a timely notice of appeal with the
`Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal when the time for responding to the final
`Office action has expired. See TMEP §715.04(a).
`Mark is Merely Descriptive – Supplemental Register Suggested
`
`The applied-for mark has been refused registration on the Principal Register because it is considered
`merely descriptive. Applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in
`support of registration and/or by amending the application to seek registration on the Supplemental
`Register. See 15 U.S.C. §1091; 37 C.F.R. §§2.47, 2.75(a); TMEP §§801.02(b), 816. Amending to the
`Supplemental Register does not preclude applicant from submitting evidence and arguments against the
`refusal(s). TMEP §816.04.
