Upon further review of this application the following issue with regard to the applicant’s amended identification of goods has come to the attention of the examining attorney.

 

 

Class 9: “data processing equipment” must be clarified as “data processors”

Class 18: “bags for mobile phones” belong in class 9

Class 21: “household or kitchen utensils” is indefinite and could include “cutlery” which belongs in class 8, so the common commercial names of the items are needed, and classification confirmation.

Also “kitchen appliances and accessories” is indefinite, if they are named and are electric, they are not in class 21

Class 28: “Games” by itself is not acceptable, and must be clarified by type.
