POST REGISTRATION OFFICE ACTION


ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 2/20/2017
U.S. Registration Number: 3103788

The Combined Section 8 Affidavit & Section 9 Renewal Application was received on December 9, 2016. The Section 9 portion of the combined filing can be granted. However, the Section 8 portion is not accepted for the reason(s) set forth below.

ISSUES PERTAINING TO SECTION 8 PORTION ONLY

Ownership Inquiry:

The party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit must establish its ownership of the registration. Trademark Act Section 8 requires the current owner of the registration to file the Section 8 Affidavit. 15 U.S.C. §1058; 37 C.F.R. §§2.161(a), 3.73(b); TMEP §1604.07(a). Office records do not show clear chain of title in the party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit.

There is an unexplained break in the chain of title that must be clarified. The registration issued to GREENWAY DESIGN GROUP LLC, a TEXAS LIMITED LIABILITY COMPANY (the assignee at REEL/FRAME: 4613/0692) who then transferred ownership to VOICE NETWORKX, INC., a DELAWARE CORPORATION (the assignor at REEL/FRAME: 4614/0680. However, Office records do not show the registration being transferred from GREENWAY DESIGN GROUP LLC to VOICE NETWORKX, INC.

The party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit must establish its current ownership of the registration. 15 U.S.C. §1058; 37 C.F.R. §2.161(a); TMEP §1604.07(a). Ownership can be established by satisfying one of the following: (1) recording the appropriate documents with the Assignment Services Branch of the Office; or (2) submitting actual evidence showing the transfer of title to the party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit. 37 C.F.R. §3.73(b); TMEP §§502.01, 1604.07(b). More information about these two methods for establishing ownership of the registration appears directly below.

(1) If the present owner chooses to record the appropriate documents with the Assignment Services Branch, the documents must be recorded before expiration of the time for filing a response. In addition, you must notify the undersigned when the documents have been recorded. For information regarding recording assignments, name changes and mergers, please visit the webpage http://www.uspto.gov/web/trademarks/workflow/assign.htm and see TMEP §§503 et seq. For specific questions, please contact the Assignment Services Branch at 571-272-3350. To expedite recordation, the owner is encouraged to file requests for recordation through the Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) at http://etas.uspto.gov. To record an assignment, the owner must submit the assignment documents along with a cover sheet and the required fee. 37 C.F.R. §§3.28, 3.31. The fees for recording an assignment are $40.00 for the first mark in a document and $25.00 for each additional mark in the same document. 37 C.F.R. §2.6(b)(6). The Office will accept for recording a copy of an original document, a copy of an extract from the document evidencing the effect on title, or a statement signed by both the party conveying the interest and the party receiving the interest explaining how the conveyance affects title. 37 C.F.R. §3.25.

(2) If the present owner prefers to submit actual evidence of ownership directly to the undersigned trademark specialist, copies of the actual documents transferring title or a statement explaining the valid transfer of legal title must be submitted. If submitting a statement of facts explaining the transfer of title, this statement must be verified with an affidavit or a signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20. See 37 C.F.R. §3.73; TMEP §§502 et seq.

Acceptance Notice Issued in Name of Owner of Record

Please note that if the party who filed the Section 8 Affidavit submits sufficient evidence to establish ownership but the ownership documents are not recorded with the Assignment Services Branch before expiration of the time to file a response, then the acceptance notice will issue in the name of the owner of record. 37 C.F.R. §3.85; TMEP §502.02. An updated acceptance notice will not issue if ownership documents are recorded following the expiration of the time to file a response; however, the new owner may file a request for a new certificate in the new owner’s name, along with the required fee. See 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(8); TMEP §502.03.

There is no deficiency, and no deficiency surcharge is required for providing evidence to establish ownership. TMEP §1604.07(a).

Information for Section 8 Affidavits Not Filed in the Name of the Owner

If the Section 8 Affidavit was not filed in the name of the owner of the registration and there is time remaining in the statutory filing period, including grace period, when responding to this Office action, the true owner may (1) submit a correction of the name in the filing of record or (2) file a complete new Section 8 Affidavit with a new specimen and filing fee. Please note that a deficiency surcharge is required if the Section 8 Affidavit was submitted before the grace period began and a correction of the name in the filing of record is received during the grace period. 37 C.F.R. §2.164(a)(1); TMEP §1604.17(a). The deficiency surcharge is $100 if submitted online using the Trademark Electronic Application System (“TEAS”) and $200 if submitted on paper. 37 C.F.R. §2.6. The fee for filing a Section 8 Affidavit is $125 per class for filings submitted through TEAS and $225 per class for filings submitted on paper. 37 C.F.R. §2.6. If the new Section 8 Affidavit is filed during the six-month grace period, the owner must pay the filing fee for the Section 8 Affidavit and the grace period fee. 15 U.S.C. §1058; 37 C.F.R. §§2.160, 2.161; TMEP §1604.07(a). The grace period fee is $100 per class for filings submitted through TEAS and $200 per class for filings submitted on paper. 37 C.F.R. §2.6.

If the Section 8 Affidavit was not filed in the name of the owner of the registration and there is no time remaining in the grace period when responding to this Office action, the true owner may submit a correction of the name in the filing of record with payment of the deficiency surcharge, but may not file a new Section 8 Affidavit. 15 U.S.C. §1058.

Confirmation Required: Affidavit Signed by Authorized Signatory

If a correction of the name in the filing of record is submitted at any time, the true owner must confirm that the original affidavit was signed by a person properly authorized to sign on behalf of the owner. 37 C.F.R. §§2.161(b), 2.193(e)(1); TMEP §1604.08(a). If the original affidavit was not signed by an authorized signatory, the owner must also submit a statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20 by a person properly authorized to sign on behalf of the owner, attesting to the use or excusable nonuse of the mark during the relevant period for filing the 10-year Section 8.

Response Guideline:

RESPONSE TIME DEADLINE: A complete response must be received within 6 months from the issuance date of this Office action. The owner must respond to all inquiries set forth in this Office action to avoid cancellation of the registration. 37 C.F.R. §2.163(b)-(c); TMEP §1604.16.
