The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite because the specific type of audio and video equipment must be identified. The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate: 12-volt automotive audio and video equipment, namely, [identify specific equipment, e.g., radios, DVD players]. TMEP §1402.01.
Please note that, while the identification of goods may be amended to clarify or limit the goods, adding to the goods or broadening the scope of the goods is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods that are not within the scope of the 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.
The applicant may telephone the examining attorney, instead of submitting a written response, to expedite the application.
