<p>Yes I have had several times over the years when an Examiner
plugged our coined-word mark into Google and got a hit, and this
hit became the supposed proof that the word is supposedly a word
in some non-English language. And so we go around and around on
this. Worse yet, the Examiner takes our coined-work mark and
breaks it up into two supposed components and somehow manages to
find some non-English language in which the two components, taken
individually, are supposedly words. <br>
</p>
<p>Typically what I eventually do is respond along these lines ...</p>
<blockquote>
<p>The mark is "qwertyuiop". The Examiner requires that the
applicant provide a translation statement for purported words
qwerty and uiop in the <obscure> language. As required by
the Examiner, applicant hereby states that qwerty in the
<obscure> language may be translated into the English word
"purple" and that uiop in the <obscure> language may be
translated into the English word "monkey". Applicant denies,
however, that "qwertyuiop" is a word in any non-English
language.<br>
</p>
</blockquote>
<p>And yes, the price of admission to this annoying exercise will
apparently become $100.<br>

wondering how people feel about #14, the requirement to
translate non-English wording. What if the client has a
made-up word, but the Examiner puts it into Google translate
and sees that in some language, what is believed to be a
made-up word might be a real word. Is there any room to
argue that the mark is a made-up word, or acronym? Or must
we just pay the surcharge?

is in standard characters, a mark comprised only of characters

appropriate field of the application;
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">(12) If the mark

registration(s) identified by the registration number(s),
pursuant to § 2.36;

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:.5in">(18) If the
application is a concurrent use application, compliance with §
2.42;

to petition to keep the domicile address out of the record?
$100 fee, plus the petition fee. Client LLC representative
enters “owner” instead of “member” on the signature line?
$100 fee, depending on the examiner. (TMEP § 611.06(g) says
that “owner” should be okay, but sometimes they decide
otherwise.) Description of the mark not exact enough for the
examiner? $100 fee. Miss a prior registration when citing
prior relevant registrations? $100 fee. I also wonder if you
can respond to the office action calling for the $100 fee to
argue against the $100 fee or if the only way to argue
against it would be a petition to the director…for a $400
