SEARCH RESULTS
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. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
INFORMALITIES
The applicant must respond to the following informalities.
Identification of Goods/Services
The identification of goods/services is unacceptable in its present form and must be amended to read as follows, if accurate:
“Digital and analog electronic cameras; focal plane array [specify device, e.g. array modules, array cards, array sensors]; linear photodiode arrays [specify device, e.g. array modules, array cards, array sensors]; near infrared diode array spectrometers, avalanche photodiodes, avalanche photodiode arrays [specify device, e.g. array modules, array cards, array sensors]; distributed feedback diode lasers not for medical use; diode lasers not for medical use, and instrumentation containing these components, namely, [identify instrumentation by their common commercial name].”
International Class 9.
In the identification, the applicant must use the common commercial names for the goods, be as complete and specific as possible and avoid the use of indefinite words and phrases. If the applicant chooses to use indefinite terms, such as “accessories,” “components,” “devices,” “equipment,” “materials,” “parts,” “systems” and “products,” then those words must be followed by the word “namely” and the goods listed by their common commercial names. TMEP §§1402.01 and 1402.03(a).
For assistance regarding an acceptable listing of goods and/or services, please see the on‑line searchable Manual of Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services, at http://www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/tac/doc/gsmanual/. 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/services that are not within the scope of goods/services set forth in the present identification.
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.
The applicant must indicate what the letters “SUI” mean and whether they have any significance in the relevant trade or industry or as applied to the goods/services. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b). Also, the applicant must indicate whether “SUI” has any significance in the relevant trade, any geographical significance, or any meaning in a foreign language. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b).
