The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). TMEP section 704.01.
However, the applicant should note the following issues:
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must amend the identification to specify the nature of the goods. TMEP section 1402. The applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate: “[Specify type, e.g., radio, television, etc.] broadcast transmitters and exciters and parts therefor.”
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. Section 2.71(b); TMEP section 1402.06. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods or services that are not within the scope of goods/services set forth in the present identification.
The applicant must indicate whether the wording “DEXSTAR” has any significance in the relevant trade, industry, as applied to the goods, any geographical significance, or any meaning in a foreign language. 37 C.F.R. 2.61(b).
ADVISORY: Fee increase effective January 1, 2003
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.
