`
`USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE
`
`Office Action (Official Letter) has issued
`on March 14, 2023 for
`U.S. Trademark Application Serial No.  97289965
`
`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.  This email is NOT the Office action.
`
`(2) Respond to the Office action, if a response is required. Respond by 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 addressto ensure you receive important USPTO
`notices about your application.
`
`Beware of trademark-related scams. Protect yourself from people and companies that
`may try to take financial advantage of you. Private companies may call you and pretend
`to be the USPTO or may send you communications that resemble official USPTO
`documents to trick you. We will never request your credit card number or social security
`number over the phone. Verify the correspondence originated from us by using your
`Serial Number in our database, TSDR, to confirm that it appears under the “Documents”
`tab, or contact the Trademark Assistance Center.
`
`•
`
`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 is not your attorney and cannot give you legal advice, but
`rather works for and represents the USPTO in trademark matters.
