ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 4/27/2012
Registration Number 1748267
The Section 7 Amendment submitted on March 16, 2012 is not accepted for the reasons set forth below.
The owner seeks to change the goods and/or services from “diagnostic equipment for monitoring nuclear plant check valves comprising computer hardware and software” to “diagnostic equipment for monitoring nuclear plant valves comprising computer hardware and software.” Such an amendment would serve to broaden the scope to include goods and/or services not originally covered by the goods and/or services in the registration. See In re Capp Enterprises, Inc., 32 USPQ2d 1855 (Comm’r Pats. 1993). Accordingly, the Section 7 Amendment is not accepted.
If you disagree with the above refusal of your Section 7 Amendment, you may file a petition requesting review of this decision by the Director. The petition must be filed within six months from the issuance date of this letter and must be accompanied by a fee of $100. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6, 2.146(a)(2) and 2.176.
