I need a help to make a Letter of Protest
The Application Kimono.com has not published for opposition and cannot be opposed at this time. I need to contact the Trademark Assistance Center and inquire about filing as Letter of Protest this will give us the opportunity to cancel the trademark before it publish for opposition.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
We re-start the petition.
Despite the comment made on the 2nd July by Mrs Kardashian West on her SNS, the change has not made and the registration stays the same.
I sent the petition to USPTO (TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov)
Mr. Steven J. Solomon Attorney/Correspondence of Kimono Intimates, Inc (tmdocket@pearne.com) by email.
I have been calling them to see if they recieved the petition correctly,
but I haven’t been able to reach neither of them.
However I had a reply from The Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA) that told me to make a letter of Protest.(See above)
METI sent some specialistes to talk with USPTO team on the 9th,
but there is no official announcement made yet.
@uspto site states "The USPTO will not issue trademark protection for any marks that include: Symbols or words that disparage...national symbols, institutions, or beliefs. »
The reason why this trademark registration application went thorough comes from the fact that the USPTO didn’t acknowledge that "kimono" has such a symbolic meaning for Japan. Once the USPTO acknowledges, we can avoid any further cases to fill « Kimono » as a trademark.
So I re-open this case, in order to:
・ask Kim Kardashian West to abandon "Kimono" related trademark registration.
・make The USPTO recognize "Kimono" as a symbol of Japan in order to avoid any further registration.
If you agree above, please sign and share the petition
