Serial Number 76/624398
This letter responds to the applicant's communication filed on 2/27/06. The applicant amended the identification of goods.
The original identification of goods was: Medical kits in the field of radio-pharmaceuticals.
The proposed amendment is: Medical resource kits consisting primarily of printed material, namely, sales training materials in the field of radio-pharmaceuticals
It appears that the goods originally identified as “medical kits” actually contain no medical equipment, medications or medical products. The kits are actually sales kits, containing printed material, such as brochures, instruction sheets and the like.
The proposed amendment to the identification cannot be accepted because it refers to goods and/or services that are not within the scope of the identification that was set forth in the application at the time of filing. While the identification of goods and/or services may be amended to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, additions to the identification or a broadening of the scope of the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §§1402.06 et seq. and 1402.07.
The applicant must amend the identification of goods to clarify what the goods are, but may not expand the identification of goods outside the scope of goods as originally listed, namely, a kit containing medical products in the field of radio-pharmaceuticals.
For assistance with identifying goods and/or services in trademark applications, please see the online searchable Manual of Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services at http://tess2.gov.uspto.report/netahtml/tidm.html.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
