`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE:
`
`The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the statement of use and has determined the following:
`
`Mark Differs on Drawing and Specimen
`
`The mark depicted on the specimens disagrees with the mark on the drawing.  In this case, the specimens display the mark as LOFT PETITES,
`while the drawing shows the mark as LOFTPETITES, i.e., without a space between the two terms.
`
`The mark shown on the drawing must be a substantially exact representation of the mark as used on or in connection with the goods and/or
`
`services, as shown by the specimens.  37 C.F.R. §2.51(b); see C.F.R. §2.72(a)(1).  
`
`Therefore, the applicant must submit one of the following:
`
`(1)   A new drawing of the mark that agrees with the mark on the specimen but does not materially alter the original mark.  37 C.F.R.
`§2.72(b); TMEP §§807.13, 807.13(a) and 807.14 et seq.; or
`
`(2)   Substitute specimens showing the mark as it appears on the drawing, and the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed
`declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20: “The substitute specimens were in use in commerce prior to the expiration of the time allowed
`applicant for filing a statement of use.”   37 C.F.R. §2.59(b)(2); TMEP §904.09.  If submitting a specimen requires an amendment to
`the dates of use, applicant must also verify the amended dates.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(c).
`
`Applicant may not withdraw the statement of use.  37 C.F.R. §2.88(g); TMEP §1109.17.
`
`The following is a sample declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20 with a supporting statement for a substitute specimen:
`
`The undersigned being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18
`U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or document or any
`registration resulting there from, declares that the substitute specimens were in use in commerce prior to the expiration of the time
`allowed to the applicant for filing a statement of use; all statements made of his/her own knowledge are true; and all statements made
`on information and belief are believed to be true.

`(Print or Type Name and Position)
`(Date)
`
`Disclaimer
`
`If the applicant responds to the aforementioned requirement by amended the drawing, the applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording
`“PETITES” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes a feature of the goods and services, i.e., the products are sized for petite
`
`consumers.  Trademark Act Section 6, 15 U.S.C. §1056; TMEP §§1213 and 1213.03(a).  See the attached excerpt from an online dictionary.  
`
`Please note that this requirement was not issued previously because the mark as depicted on the drawing was considered unitary as a compound
`
`word mark.  TMEP §1213.05(a).  
`
`The computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer.  TMEP
`§1213.08(a)(i).  The following is the standard format used by the Office:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “PETITES” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`See In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
