<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">As to the insufficient information fee of $100 per class, does anyone have any experience with actually having to pay the fee on an application? We filed an
application for a mark something like ESPRESSO (but less generic) but did not include a translation for the mark. The Examiner issued an Office Action instructing us to pay the fee and provide a translation. We provided the translation but the response to
office action form does not include any way to pay the fee. When we spoke to the Examiner, he made it seem that the only thing needed was to change the application from TEAS Standard to TEAS Plus on the back end, and we would be able to pay through the Response
to Office Action form. But that does not appear to be true. When we spoke with the Examiner again, he admitted he hasn\u2019t seen the ROA form from our end in years, so he had no idea how we were supposed to pay the fee.

<p class="MsoPlainText" style="text-indent:.5in"><span style="font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">We contacted the TEAS Assistance Center. They thought our instructions to allow the Examiner to charge the fee to our deposit account would be sufficient, but
sent us to the Accounting Department to verify. In typical NMJ fashion, the Accounting Department said they don\u2019t deal with Office Action Responses. We contacted the TEAS support mailbox, which was unhelpful as well. Any suggestions would be appreciated.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
