| ARGUMENT(S) | |
| Dear Sir: This is in response to the Office Action of July 10, 2003. In previous office actions, the Examining Attorney indicated that he has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration of this mark. The Examining Attorney has refused registration on the grounds that the identification of goods and recitation of services is unacceptable as indefinite. In accordance with the requirement of the Examining Attorney, the Applicant hereby amends the identification of goods and recitation of services in a manner Applicant believes should be acceptable to the Examining Attorney. The identification of goods reflects the breath of diversity in the research conducted by Applicant. Applicant is a very large research organization employing five thousand scientists with an annual research budget of approximately four hundred million dollars ($400,000,000). Applicant respectfully suggests that the Examining Attorney review the web site of the Applicant for a more complete listing of the full range of work done by this fine organization (www.csiro.au). CONCLUSION By the above response, Applicant has satisfactorily addressed the issues raised by the Examining Attorney in the Office Action. The Examining Attorney did not identify any similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration. Therefore, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney find that the application is in condition for approval and publication. Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney contact Brent E. Routman (612-336-4619) if she has any further questions regarding the application. Respectfully submitted, | |
