REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/11/2009

Applicant is requesting reconsideration of a final refusal issued/mailed March 4, 2009.

After careful consideration of the law and facts of the case, the examining attorney must deny the request for reconsideration and adhere to the final action as written since no new facts or reasons have been presented that are significant and compelling with regard to the point at issue.

Accordingly, applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied.  The time for appeal runs from the date the final action was issued/mailed.  37 C.F.R. Section 2.64(b); TMEP Section 715.03(c).  If applicant has already filed a timely notice of appeal, the application will be forwarded to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).

NOTE:  The examining attorney acknowledges and accepts the amendment to the recitation of services.  All other issues and requirements previously raised in the FINAL Action are herein maintained.
