`
`MOTION REMAND APPLICATION
`
`COMES NOW the Applicant, Freeman Formula, LLC, (hereinafter “Applicant”), by and
`
`
`
`
`
`through counsel The Trademark Company, and pursuant to TBMP § 1209.04 respectfully moves
`
`the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (hereinafter “Board”) for an order remanding the instant
`
`Application to the examination level so that the Applicant may amend the instant application to
`
`cure the only remaining procedural issue in this matter, namely, to submit a substitute specimen
`
`showing the applied-for mark in use in commerce in connection with the services specified in the
`
`application. In support of the instant motion, Applicant provides as follows:
`
`ARGUEMENT
`
`In the instant matter, the Applicant seeks to remand the application so that the examining
`
`attorney may consider the substitute specimen (attached herein as Exhibit A) and whether the
`
`submission of the same will render moot the instant final action wherein the sole issue is the
`
`acceptability of Applicant’s specimen. The substitute specimen was in use in commerce at least
`
`as early as the filing date of the application. Said motion is not being made to delay the
`
`proceedings but in good faith so that the Office may consider the submission of the substitute
`
`
`
`specimen brought to light in this matter which may influence the decision of the examining
`
`attorney.
`
`Accordingly, pursuant to TBMP § 1209.04 it is respectfully requested that the Board
`
`grant the instant motion and remand the matter to the examining attorney for the entry of the
`
`substitute specimen in hope that the instant submission will render this appeal moot.
`
`DECLARATION
`
`
`
`The signatory being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by
`
`fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. Section 1001, and that such willful false
`
`statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or submission or any
`
`registration resulting therefrom, declares that, the substitute specimen submitted as Exhibit A is a
`
`true and accurate specimen and said specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the day
`
`the instant application was filed.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE it is respectfully submitted that good cause exists and/or the TBMP
`
`provides that the instant request be granted and the application be remanded to the Examining
`
`Attorney for further consideration of the Application with the amendments thereto.
