RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION
Applicant responds to the Office Action identified above as follows.
Mark: SP2 Serial No.: 99369840 Office Action of: 2026-01-31 (NFIN20260131141635)
Domicile Address Required — Additional Issue Flagged (Not Automated)
The Office Action also raises the following issue: Domicile Address Required.
Office Action passage: "Applicant must provide an acceptable domicile street address"
Strategy outline (suggested by the automated cross-check; verify before relying on it): - Provide the LLC's headquarters street address with the specific suite/unit number via the TEAS response form's Domicile Address fields (hidden from public view), keeping the current mailing address if desired - Verify with the client where senior executives or officers actually direct and control the company's activities, and use that unit-specific location as the domicile address - If the LLC has no fixed physical address, provide the full name, title, and home street address of an individual with legal authority to bind the applicant (e.g., a managing member or officer) - If an extraordinary situation prevents providing any domicile street address, consider a petition to the Director to waive the requirement, while still filing a timely OA response requesting suspension
This issue was flagged by an automated LLM cross-check of the Office Action text; the deterministic issue detector did not classify it. Drafting for it is not automated. Verify the issue against the Office Action and prepare the substantive response manually.
Petition to Director to waive domicile requirement — Additional Issue Flagged (Not Automated)
The Office Action also raises the following issue: Petition to Director to waive domicile requirement.
Office Action passage: "If applicant cannot provide a domicile street address due to an extraordinary situation"
Strategy outline (suggested by the automated cross-check; verify before relying on it): - Treat as a last resort: for a domestic LLC with an identifiable headquarters, simply supplying the unit-specified address moots the petition route - If pursued, file the petition with the required fee, a verified statement of the extraordinary facts, and the state/country of domicile - Because a petition is not a response, still file a timely response to this Office action noting the petition and requesting suspension pending its disposition
