Serial Number 76/529344

This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on June 6, 2005.

The receipt of the statement of use gives rise to the following new issue.

Classification and Identification of Goods

The specimen is a photograph of the mark as applied to the goods. The gloves pictured do not appear to be the type normally classified in International Class 25. International Class 25 gloves are primarily thermal or decorative in purpose, or sometimes of a sporting nature. The gloves shown in the photograph appear to be work gloves, perhaps “gardening gloves” in International Class 21 or “household gloves for general use,” also classified in International Class 21.

Applicant must amend the identification and classification of goods to correctly identify those goods, if appropriate. Please note that reclassification of the goods will not require republication of the mark in the Official Gazette.

Applicant may wish to consult the Office’s electronic Identification Manual of Goods and Services at www.uspto.gov for other suggestions as to acceptable language.

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.

If the applicant has any questions regarding this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
