`
`his action is in response to applicant’s letter, dated August 9 th, 2010, in which applicant submitted a new drawing of the mark.(cid:160) As discussed
`below, because the drawing is in color, and applicant has not submitted a color claim, an inconsistency now exists. In addition, the referenced
`pending application, Application Serial No. 77418368, has abandoned and is no longer a bar to the registration of applicant’s mark.

`
`OLOR DRAWING WITHOUT COLOR CLAIM/COLOR DESCRIPTION
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant has submitted a color drawing but has not specified whether color is being claimed as a feature of the mark.(cid:160) Applications for marks
`depicted in color must include a complete list of all the colors that are claimed as a feature of the mark and a description of the literal and design
`elements in the mark that specifies where the colors appear in those elements.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); see TMEP §807.07(a)-(a)(ii).(cid:160) In
`addition, the color claim and mark description must reference all the colors in the mark.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.52(b)(1); TMEP §§807.07(a) et seq.(cid:160)
`Generic color names must be used to describe the colors in the mark, e.g., magenta, yellow, turquoise.(cid:160) TMEP §807.07(a)(i)-(a)(ii).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must clarify whether color is claimed as a feature of the mark by satisfying one of the following:
`
`(1)(cid:160) If color is not a feature of the applied-for mark, applicant must submit a substitute black and white drawing of the mark to replace
`the color drawing of record.(cid:160) However, other amendments or changes to the mark will not be accepted if the changes would materially
`alter the mark.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.72; see TMEP §§807.07(a)(i), 807.14.; or
`
`(2)(cid:160) If color is a feature of the applied-for mark, applicant must submit both a statement listing all of the colors that are claimed as a
`feature of the mark and a statement describing the literal and design elements in the mark that specifies where the colors appear in those
`elements.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); TMEP §807.07(a).(cid:160) If black is not being claimed as a color, applicant must also include a
`statement that the color black represents background, outlining, shading and/or transparent areas and are not part of the mark.(cid:160) TMEP
