In the free-text area below, enter your argument(s) in support of registration. You may either type directly into the box, or cut-and-paste from another document into this box. 2. If your browser version supports the enhanced functionality of this section, you can format your entry, using the various editing keys displayed above the text entry area (for font, size, color, bold, italics, etc.). Do NOT include any html or other programming code or language that may create links within the argument section. 3. If no editing keys are displayed above the text entry box, then your current browser version does not support the enhanced text-editing functionality. You may wish to upgrade to a higher browser level. You may still use the box for entry of your argument(s), but no formatting beyond conventional spacing will be possible. Again, do NOT include any html or other programming code or language that may create links within the argument section. 4. When you have completed entry of your entire argument(s), click on the "Save and Return to Form" button, above the text entry box. Do not use the "X" button within the browser to close the window, as this may delete all entered information. The form will retain any formatting you have used, viewable through the icons on the Validation page upon completion and validation of this form. 5. At the point of final validation, it is critical to confirm that all information is displayed properly immediately before filing, regardless of the appearance of the data at any point earlier in the process. If any previously-entered argument text or files (e.g., evidence) are now missing, you must re-enter or re-attach before final submission. Otherwise, the USPTO will not receive a complete response, e.g., if you initially pasted text into the argument field, but the argument section is now blank, you must paste it in again after final validation but before actual submission of the response, or the USPTO will not receive that text at all. Entering your argument(s) here: EVIDENCE Evidence File Click on the 'Attach' button below to select the file from your computer. Visit the USPTO's website for information on acceptable file sizes and formats. Instructions: Attach ONLY supporting evidence or the response to a refusal to register here, not the entire response to Office action. Each portion of this form serves a specific purpose for data processing reasons. Failure to follow this instruction will cause significant delays in the processing and review of your filing. Evidence Describe what the evidence submitted consists of: CLASSIFICATION AND LISTING OF GOODS/SERVICES/COLLECTIVE MEMBERSHIP ORGANIZATION Amending the Original Class(es) in the Application Enter information for the Original Class Check here to delete the following class of goods/services/collective membership organization from your application. If checked, it is not necessary to modify the current class below. Check here to modify the current classification number; listing of goods/services/the nature of the collective membership organization; dates of use; and/or filing basis; or to submit a substitute specimen, foreign registration certificate, or proof of renewal of the foreign registration. If not checked, the changes will be ignored. Original International Class : ___ *Listing of Goods/Services/Collective Membership Organization [NOTE: Do not enter a Class or any other code in the field below. You must enter only the common commercial name for the specific goods/services/nature of the collective membership organization associated with the mark. Also, do not include any html or other programming code or language that may create links in the listing of goods/recitation of services/description of the collective membership organization]. For more information about acceptable language for the goods/services, see the USPTO's on-line Goods and/or Services Manual. If entering multiple listings of goods/services, please separate with a semi-colon (;), NOT a comma. WARNING: Your entry may NOT exceed the scope of your current identification. While you may modify the current listing to clarify, limit, or remove goods/services/the collective membership organization, you may NOT at this point ADD or BROADEN goods or services or otherwise amend the goods/services/nature of the collective membership organization beyond the scope of that in the current identification. A new filing would be required to cover any new goods/services/or broadening the nature of the collective membership organization not within the scope of the current identification. WARNING: Registration Subject to Cancellation for Fraudulent Statements Statements made in filings to the USPTO must be accurate; inaccuracies could result in the cancellation of a trademark registration. For example, an applicant's lack of a bona fide intention to use the mark with all goods/services included in an application, or the lack of use on all goods/services for which use is claimed, could jeopardize the validity of the resulting registration. Filing Basis Section 1(a), Use in Commerce: For all applications: The mark is in use in commerce and was in use in commerce as of the application filing date. The provided specimen shows the mark in use in commerce (see specimen statement below). For a collective trademark, collective service mark, collective membership mark, or certification mark application: The applicant is exercising legitimate control over the use of the mark in commerce and was exercising legitimate control over the use of the mark in commerce as of the application filing date. For a certification mark application: The applicant is not engaged in the production or marketing of the goods/services to which the mark is applied, except to advertise or promote recognition of the certification program or of the goods/services that meet the certification standards of the applicant. WARNING: If you filed your original application under Section 1(b), Intent to Use, do not use this form to submit dates of use and a specimen, unless responding to a specimen issue created by an already filed Allegation of Use. Otherwise, you must file the specific Allegation of Use form (Statement of Use/Amendment to Allege Use). Filing an Allegation of Use is not a proper response to an Office action. Date of First Use of Mark Anywhere at least as early as (MM/DD/YYYY) Date of First Use of Mark Commerce at least as early as (MM/DD/YYYY) Specimen File Watch the TMIN video explaining what is meant by the term "specimen". Visit the USPTO's website for information on acceptable file sizes and formats. Instructions: Attach ONLY the specimen here, not the entire response to Office action. Each portion of this form serves a specific purpose for data processing reasons. Failure to follow this instruction will cause significant delays in the processing and review of your filing. Check this box if you are mailing a non-traditional specimen using USPS because it meets the qualifications explained in the hyperlink.

Checking this box will automatically add the following declaration language to the form: "The substitute (or new, or originally submitted, if appropriate) specimen(s) was/were in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application" [for an application based on Section 1(a), Use in Commerce] OR "The substitute (or new, or originally submitted, if appropriate) specimen(s) was/were in use in commerce prior either to the filing of the Amendment to Allege Use or expiration of the filing deadline for filing a Statement of Use" [for an application based on Section 1(b) Intent-to-Use]. OR "The attached specimen is a true copy of the specimen that was originally submitted with the application, amendment to allege use, or statement of use" [for an illegible specimen]. The signatory being warned that willful false statements and the like are punishable by fine or imprisonment, or both, under 18 U.S.C. §1001, and that such willful false statements and the like may jeopardize the validity of the application or submission or any registration resulting therefrom, declares that all statements made of his or her own knowledge are true and all statements made on information and belief are believed to be true.

You must enter only the common commercial name for the specific goods/services/nature of the collective membership organization associated with the mark. Also, do not include any html or other programming code or language that may create links in the listing of goods/recitation of services/description of the collective membership organization]. For more information about acceptable language for the goods/services, see the USPTO's on-line Goods and/or Services Manual. If entering multiple listings of goods/services, please separate with a semi-colon (;), NOT a comma. WARNING: Your entry may NOT exceed the scope of your current identification. While you may modify the current listing to clarify or limit the goods/services/nature of the collective membership organization or to remove goods/services, you may NOT at this point ADD to, or BROADEN, the goods/services/nature of the collective membership organization. A new filing would be required to cover any new goods/services or broadening of the nature of the collective membership organization not within the scope of the current identification. WARNING: Registration Subject to Cancellation for Fraudulent Statements Statements made in filings to the USPTO must be accurate; inaccuracies could result in the cancellation of a trademark registration. For example, an applicant's lack of a bona fide intention to use the mark with all goods/services included in an application, or the lack of use on all goods/services for which use is claimed, could jeopardize the validity of the resulting registration. Filing Basis Section 1(a), Use in Commerce: For all applications: The mark is in use in commerce and was in use in commerce as of the application filing date. The provided specimen shows the mark in use in commerce (see specimen statement below). For a collective trademark, collective service mark, collective membership mark, or certification mark application: The applicant is exercising legitimate control over the use of the mark in commerce and was exercising legitimate control over the use of the mark in commerce as of the application filing date. For a certification mark application: The applicant is not engaged in the production or marketing of the goods/services to which the mark is applied, except to advertise or promote recognition of the certification program or of the goods/services that meet the certification standards of the applicant.
