`OFFICE ACTION
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`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: 9/23/2008
`OPENING
`The referenced application 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, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`The Office records have been searched and there are no similar registered or pending marks that would bar registration under Trademark
`Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
`REGISTRATION REFUSED – CURRENT APPLICATION DUPLICATE OF REGISTRATION
`This application and U.S. Registration No. 2600168 appear to be exact duplicates. See attached registration.(cid:160) The USPTO will not issue
`duplicate registrations.(cid:160) TMEP §703.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant must abandon one of them.(cid:160)
`
`TM Policy – TMEP Section 703 - Office Does Not Issue Duplicate Registrations
`The USPTO will not issue two or more identical registrations. If two applications would result in registrations that are exact duplicates,
`the USPTO will permit only one application to mature into registration, and will refuse registration in the other application. If practicable, the
`USPTO will permit the applicant to choose which application should mature into registration.
`
`Basis. Applications filed under §1 of the Trademark Act are considered identical if the only difference between them is that one is based
`on use in commerce under §1(a) and the other is based on intent-to-use under §1(b). However, an application filed under §1 and an application
`filed under §44 that are otherwise identical are not regarded as duplicate registrations, nor is an application under §66(a) of the Trademark Act
`regarded as a duplicate of an application filed under §1 or §44.
`
`Standard Character/Typed Drawing. An application for registration of a mark depicted in standard characters is considered a duplicate
`of an application for registration of the same mark in “typed” format ( see for the same goods/services.
`
`

`
`When an application is a duplicate of a registration owned by the applicant, and USPTO records show that the registration is still
`active, the examining attorney must refuse registration. If the registration is subject to cancellation for failure to file an affidavit of continued
`use or excusable nonuse under 15 U.S.C. §1058 or §1141k, or due to expire for failure to file a renewal application under 15 U.S.C. §1059 (i.e.,
`because the grace period has passed and no affidavit or renewal application has been filed), and the application is otherwise in condition for
`approval or final refusal, the examining attorney must suspend the application until the TRAM system is updated to show that the registration is
`cancelled or expired. See for information about how a registrant who has not timely filed a §8 affidavit or §9 renewal application may expedite
`the cancellation or expiration of its own registration.
`
`CLOSING
`If applicant has questions about its application or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned
`trademark examining attorney.
