`O AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS
`OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE:
`
`The referenced application and the Preliminary Amendment filed June 17, 2008, have been reviewed by
`the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to the
`issue(s) below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`DRAWING OF THE MARK
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant has submitted an amended drawing of the mark on a sheet of paper that was enlarged to comply
`with Office standards and scanned into the application record.(cid:160) Applicant’s amendment of the mark to a
`
`standard character drawing is acceptable, however, applicant must address the following issues:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`A standard character drawing submitted electronically must comply with the following requirements:
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Depict the mark in black print on a white background;
`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Depict all letters and words in the mark in Latin characters, and all numerals in Roman or
`Arabic numerals;
`
`(3)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Depict the mark to include only common punctuation or diacritical marks, as shown on the
`Office’s standard character set at http://teas.uspto.gov/standardCharacterSet.html, which sets
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`
`
`forth a list of all the acceptable standard characters;
`
`(4)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Depict the mark so as not to include a design element or stylization of lettering and/or numbers
`in the mark; and
`
`(5)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Include a standard character claim using the following format:(cid:160) “The mark consists of standard
`characters without claim to any particular font, style, size, or color.”
`
`(cid:160)3
`
`7 C.F.R. §2.52(a); see TMEP §807.03(a)-(b).
`
`(cid:160)W
`
`hen submitting a standard character drawing via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS),
`applicant must identify the mark type as “standard characters” and enter the mark in the appropriate data
`field.(cid:160) TMEP §807.05(a); see 37 C.F.R. §2.53(a)(2).(cid:160) If all the characters in the mark are in the standard
`character set, the Office will create an acceptable digitized image of the mark and automatically generate
`a standard character claim.(cid:160) TMEP §807.05(a).(cid:160) If the mark includes characters that are not in the standard
`character set, the drawing will be treated as a special form drawing.(cid:160) TMEP §807.03(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he current image of the mark is acceptable, however, if the applicant wishes to display the letters in the
`mark without any unusual fonts, then please follow the instructions above for submitting a standard
`
`character drawing using the TEAS form.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Additionally, applicant must amend the wording of the standard character claim to agree with the
`standardized language accepted by the Office.(cid:160) The following is the accepted language for a standard
`character claim:(cid:160) “ The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any particular font,
`style, size, or color.” (cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §807.03(a).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s wording is incorrect because it only refers to the style and font size and not the other
`
`elements of the standard character claim.(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he Office records have been searched and no similar registered mark has been found that would bar
`registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02.(cid:160) However, please be
`advised that potentially conflicting marks in prior-filed pending applications may present a bar to
`registration.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`nformation regarding pending Application Serial Nos. 77252344, 77368096 and 77377379 is enclosed.(cid:160)
`The filing dates of the referenced applications precede applicant’s filing date. (cid:160) There may be a likelihood
`of confusion under Trademark Act Section 2(d) between applicant’s mark and the referenced marks. (cid:160) If
`one or more of the referenced applications registers, registration may be refused in this case under Section
`2(d).(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.(cid:160) Therefore, upon entry of a response to this Office action,
`action on this case may be suspended pending final disposition of the earlier-filed applications.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant believes that there is no potential conflict between this application and the earlier-filed
`applications, then applicant may present arguments relevant to the issue in a response to this Office
`action.(cid:160) The election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits applicant’s right to address this
`issue at a later point.
