`
`USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE
`
`Office Action (Official Letter) has issued
`on January 21, 2022 for
`U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 90050635
`
`A USPTO examining attorney has reviewed your trademark application and issued an Office action.  You may be required to
`respond to this Office action.  Follow the steps below.
`
`(1)   Read the Office action HERE.  This email is NOT the Office action.
`
`(2)  Respond to the Office action, if a response is required.  Respond by the deadline using the Trademark Electronic
`Application System (TEAS).  Your response must be received by the USPTO on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time of the last day
`of the response period.  Otherwise, your application will be abandoned.  See the Office action itself regarding how to respond.
`
`(3)   Direct general questions about using USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your
`application, and whether there are outstanding deadlines to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).
`
`After reading the Office action, address any question(s) regarding the specific content to the USPTO examining attorney identified in
`the Office action.
`
`GENERAL GUIDANCE
`·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid
`missing critical deadlines.
`
`·         Update your correspondence email address to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.
`
`·         Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with
`the USPTO may mail or email you trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  The USPTO will only
`email official USPTO correspondence from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
`
`·         Hiring a U.S.-licensed attorney. 
`If you do not have an attorney and are not required to have one under the trademark rules,
`we encourage you to hire a U.S.-licensed attorney specializing in trademark law to help guide you through the registration
`process.  The USPTO examining attorney identified above is not your attorney and cannot give you legal advice, but rather
`works for and represents the USPTO in trademark matters.
