The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.

SEARCH OF OFFICE RECORDS

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.

IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS

The identification of goods is unacceptable because the wording “OTHER CASUAL APPAREL ITEMS” is indefinite.  TMEP section 1402.01.  The applicant must amend the identification to specify the items by their common commercial name.  The applicant is encouraged to use the Trademark Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual as a reference in amending the identification of goods.  This resource can be found at http://atlas/netahtml/tidm.html or http://www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/tac/doc/gsmanual/index.html.

The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:

 

Clothing, namely, t-shirts, sweatshirts, shorts, caps and other casual apparel items, namely, [specify items by common commercial name, e.g., sweatpants, polo shirts], in INT. CLASS 25.

 

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(a); TMEP section 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.
