The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
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 1105.01.
The wording “two part system, namely silicone and catylist, used for taking impressions of human skin, on live subjects for the purpose of life molds and castings” in the identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The term “system” in the identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must amend the identification by listing the major parts of the system and describing the nature and use of the system. TMEP §1402.03(a).
The applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate:
Two-part system consisting primarily of [indicate major parts, e.g., silicone and catalysts] used to make impressions of human skin from live subjects for the purpose of creating life molds and castings, in International Class 1.
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.
