1-click Financing

Dear Mr. Chiang,

I hope this email finds you well.

My name is Sienna Grant, Paralegal Specialist, contacting you on behalf of Mr. Aaron Benjamin, Senior IP Attorney | Litigation Officer, from the Trademark Assistance Center.

I am writing in reference to the trademark 1-CLICK FINANCING (U.S. Serial No. 78713728), originally filed on September 15, 2005, under the ownership of United College Marketing Services, Inc. I’m following up to clarify the status of this filing and outline the appropriate next steps.

Following our review of the official USPTO record, the application is confirmed as abandoned due to a failure to respond, or a late response, to the Office Action issued during examination. Key actions reflected in the file include:

• New Application Filed: September 15, 2005

• Search Summary Issued: March 29, 2006

• Non-Final Office Action Issued: March 29, 2006

• No Timely Response Received by Deadline

• Application Abandoned: October 2, 2006

• Notice of Abandonment Issued: October 26, 2006

For transparency, I have attached the official Notice of Abandonment which was mailed to the address of record:

United College Marketing Services, Inc.
Suite 100
125 University Ave.
Palo Alto, California 94301
United States

At this time, the application carries no federal trademark protection, and the mark is considered open within the public marketplace.

Please note: The Assistance Center routinely monitors abandoned filings where there is potential for third-party registration of identical or confusingly similar marks. To avoid any risk of another party asserting rights in 1-CLICK FINANCING, we simply need to confirm how you would like to proceed.

To move forward, we recommend scheduling a brief compliance review call to:

• Review the procedural history of the prior filing
• Confirm whether the mark is still in use in commerce
• Determine whether filing a new federal application is advisable under current USPTO standards

This call typically takes 10–15 minutes and helps ensure that any future filing is accurate and fully compliant.

Please reply with the day and time that works best for you this week, and we will be happy to make the arrangements. We look forward to assisting you further.

Respectfully,
