`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.
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/5/2015
`
`This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on February 4, 2015, in which the applicant amended the application to the
`Supplemental Register and amended the filing basis to Section 44(e) for International Class 42 only.  The amendments are noted but are not
`accepted for the following reasons: 1) the applicant must provide a signed copy of the foreign registration translation submitted for International
`Class 42 and 2) the applicant did not amend International Class 9 to Section 44(e) and thus, the 2e1 Descriptive Refusal is continued and the
`amendment to the Supplemental Register is rejected for International Class 9.
`
`FOREIGN REGISTRATION TRANSLATION MUST BE SIGNED
`
`The applicant must submit an English translation of the foreign registration.  37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b).  The translation
`should be signed by the translator.  TMEP §1004.01(b).
`
`AMENDMENT TO THE SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER IS PREMATURE – INTERNATIONAL CLASS 9
`
`A mark in an application under Trademark Act Section 1(b) is not eligible for registration on the Supplemental Register until an acceptable
`amendment to allege use under 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been filed.  37 C.F.R. §§2.47(d), 2.75(b); TMEP §§815.02, 1102.03.  When a Section 1(b)
`application is successfully amended to the Supplemental Register, the effective filing date of the application will be the date on which applicant
`met the minimum filing requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(e) for the amendment to allege use.  37 C.F.R. §2.75(b); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.

`
`Please follow the instructions below:
`
`(1)  TO READ THE LETTER:  Click on this link or go to http://tsdr.uspto.gov, enter the U.S. application serial number, and click on
`“Documents.”
`
`The Office action may not be immediately viewable, to allow for necessary system updates of the application, but will be available within 24
`hours of this e-mail notification.
`
`(2)  TIMELY RESPONSE IS REQUIRED:  Please carefully review the Office action to determine (1) how to respond, and (2) the applicable
`response time period.  Your response deadline will be calculated from 3/5/2015 (or sooner if specified in the Office action).  For information
`regarding response time periods, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/process/status/responsetime.jsp.
`
`Do NOT hit “Reply” to this e-mail notification, or otherwise e-mail your response because the USPTO does NOT accept e-mails as
`responses to Office actions. 
`Instead, the USPTO recommends that you respond online using the Trademark Electronic Application System
`(TEAS) response form located at http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/response_forms.jsp.
`
`(3)  QUESTIONS:  For questions about the contents of the Office action itself, please contact the assigned trademark examining attorney.  For
`technical assistance in accessing or viewing the Office action in the Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system, please e-mail
`TSDR@uspto.gov.
`
`WARNING
`
`Failure to file the required response by the applicable response deadline will result in the ABANDONMENT of your application.  For
`more information regarding abandonment, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/abandon.jsp.
`
`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that
`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.”   
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”   For more information on how to handle
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
