This letter responds to the applicant’s communication filed on July 12, 2006.
Applicant’s communication is an incomplete response to the Office action dated January 11, 2006, because it does not contain an acceptable identification of goods. Applicant must submit a completed response within (1) thirty days of the mailing date of this letter or, (2) the time remaining in the period for response to the last Office action, whichever is longer. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(b); TMEP §§718.03 and 718.03(b). This does not extend the time for filing a notice of appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03 and 715.03(c).
The applicant’s amended identification of goods is noted. However, that identification is unacceptable because in the identification of goods, applicant must use the common commercial or generic names for the goods, be as complete and specific as possible, and avoid the use of indefinite words and phrases. If applicant chooses to use indefinite terms such as "accessories," "components," "devices," "equipment," "materials," "parts," "systems" and "products," then such terms must be followed by the word "namely" and a list of the specific goods identified by their common commercial or generic names. TMEP §§1402.01 and 1402.03(a). In this case, those names would be terms such as “tape recorders, video monitors, telecommunications transmitters,” etc.
The applicant is reminded that, while the identification of goods may be amended to clarify or limit the goods, adding to the goods or broadening the scope of the goods is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods that are not within the scope of the goods set forth in the present identification.
