This application was originally approved for publication on November 18, 2002. As a result of a review prior to publication, the application was removed from approved for publication status. The applicant must resolve the following issue.
The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite because it contains vague terms and items that may be classifiable in several International Classes. TMEP §1402.11. The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
“artificial fishing baits, fishing hooks, fishing lines, fishing reels, fishing rods, fishing scoops, floats and harpoons,” in International Class 028;
“live fishing bait,” in International Class 031.
Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of the goods recited in the present identification.
The application identifies goods that may be classified in several international classes. Therefore, the applicant must either: (1) restrict the application to the number of class(es) covered by the fee already paid, i.e., 1 class, or (2) pay the required fee for each additional class(es). 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2); TMEP §§810.01, 1401.04, 1401.04(b) and 1403.01.
If the applicant prosecutes this application as a combined, or multiple‑class, application, the applicant must comply with each of the following.
(1) The applicant must list the goods/services by international class with the classes listed in ascending numerical order. TMEP §1403.01.
(2) The applicant must submit a filing fee for each international class of goods/services not covered by the fee already paid. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1) and 2.86(a); TMEP §§810.01 and 1403.01. Effective January 1, 2003, the fee for filing a trademark application is $335 for each class. This applies to classes added to pending applications as well as to new applications filed on or after that date.
Effective January 1, 2003, the fee for filing an application for trademark registration will be increased to $335.00 per International Class. The USPTO will not accord a filing date to applications that are filed on or after that date that are not accompanied by a minimum of $335.00.
Additionally, the fee for amending an existing application to add an additional class or classes of goods/services will be $335.00 per class for classes added on or after January 1, 2003.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
