`
`In re: Registration No. 1,864,791 for the mark HUGO HUGO BOSS (Stylized)
`
`The Section 8 Affidavit submitted on May 25, 2001 is refused for the following reason(s):
`
`The Trademark Act requires that the current owner of the registration file the Section 8 Affidavit. 15
`U.S.C. §1058. It is unclear whether the party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit is the current owner.
`
`The owner’s name as identified on the Section 8 Affidavit is Hugo Boss AG, a Fed Rep of Germany
`stock company. The owner’s name on the registration is identified as Hugo Boss AG, a Fed Rep of
`Germany joint stock company. If this mistake is merely a clerical error, please provide an
`explanation either in writing or by a telephone call to the undersigned paralegal.
`
`Please be advised that although a typographical mistake in setting out the owner’s name can be
`corrected, the Section 8 Affidavit cannot be amended to set forth a different entity.
`
`The party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit must establish current ownership of the registration at least
`as early as May 23, 2001, the date the Section 8 Affidavit was signed. 37 C.F.R. §2V.161(a).
`Ownership may be established by (1) recording appropriate documents in the Assignment Branch,
`(703) 308-9723, or (2) submitting proof of the transfer of title to the party who filed the Section 8
`Affidavit. 37 C.F.R. §3.73(b).
`
`( 1) If the present owner chooses to establish ownership by recording appropriate documents in
`the Assignment Branch, please notify the undersigned paralegal when the documents have
`been filed. A telephone call to the paralegal is encouraged to resolve this issue.
`
`(2) If the present owner chooses to establish ownership by submitting proof of the transfer of
`title, appropriate evidence, such as a copy of the document transferring ownership or a
`verified statement that a valid transfer of legal title has occurred, must be submitted. Please
`be advised that the Section 8 Notice of Acceptance will issue in the name of the original
`registrant or the last recorded assignee as recorded in the Assignment Branch.
`
`If the wrong party filed the Section 8 Affidavit and there is time remaining in the statutory filing
`period, the current owner may file a new affidavit. If the new affidavit is filed during the 6-month
`grace period, the owner must pay the filing fee for the Section 8 Affidavit plus the grace period fee. If
`
`

`
`the wrong party filed theiSection 8 Affidavit, and there is no time remaining in the statutory filing
`period, the registration will be cancelled.
`-
`
`A COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION MUST BE RECEIVED WITHIN 6
`MONTHS FROM THE MAILING DATE OF THIS LETTER.
`THE OWNER MUST
`RESPOND TO ALL INQUIRIES SET FORTH IN THIS LETTER TO AVOID
`CANCELLATION OF THE REGISTRATION.
