`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S
`COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 7/2/2015
`
`The statement of use has 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(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`UMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
`
`Specimen
`
`pecimen
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration is refused because the specimen does not show the applied-for mark in use in commerce. (cid:160) Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15
`
`U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a), 1301.04(g)(i).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In this case,
`The specimen must show the mark as actually used by the applicant in selling or advertising the services. 37 C.F.R. §2.56(b)(2).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`however, the specimen consists of a magazine article referring to applicant’s mark and the services, rather than the applicant’s own use of the
`
`mark.(cid:160) It fails to serve as a specimen because it is not an example of how applicant itself uses the mark as a source indicator.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`An application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) must include a specimen showing the applied-for mark in use in commerce for each
`international class of services identified in the statement of use.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904,
`904.07(a).
`
`(cid:160)E
`
`xamples of specimens for services include advertising and marketing materials, brochures, photographs of business signage and billboards, and
`webpages that show the mark used in the actual sale, rendering, or advertising of the services.(cid:160) See TMEP §1301.04(a), (h)(iv)(C).

`

`

`Applicant may respond to this refusal by submitting, for each applicable international class, a different specimen (a verified “substitute”
`specimen) that (a) was in actual use in commerce prior to the expiration of the deadline for filing the statement of use and (b) shows the mark in
`
`actual use in commerce for the services identified in the statement of use.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant, however, may not withdraw the statement of use.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.88(g); TMEP §1109.17.
