The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial name of the goods. If there is no common commercial name, the applicant must describe the product and its intended uses. TMEP §1402.01.
The applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate:
International Class 12; windshield or headlight lens washing assemblies comprised of ______________ (the applicant must indicate the items comprising the kits by their common commercial names) for use in motor vehicles; and devices, namely, ________ for heating windshield or headlight lens washing fluids for use in motor vehicles.
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 goods set forth in the present identification.
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.
