Upon further consideration of the application, the examining attorney has determined the following.
In the identification of goods for Class 9 suggested by the examining attorney in the Office action mailed on December 16, 2005, the examining attorney mistakenly included the language “Computer accessories, namely, mouse pads.” Because the original identification of goods does not include computer accessories or mouse pads, including these goods in the identification of goods would be beyond the scope of the original identification and would not be permissible. The applicant may amend the goods for Class 9 to read as follows: Class 9: “Computer software for use in playing video games, massive multi-player online role-playing games, and television programs; Interactive computer game programs.” The examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience.
The applicant must respond to all of the issues raised in the December 16, 2006 action and this action within SIX (6) months of the mailing or e-mailing date of the December 16, 2005 action.
Please note that there is no required format or form for responding to this Office action. However, applicant should include the following information on all correspondence with the Office: (1) the name and law office number of the examining attorney; (2) the serial number of this application; (3) the mailing date of this Office action; and, (4) applicant's telephone number.
When responding to this Office action, applicant must make sure to respond in writing to each refusal and requirement raised. If there is a refusal to register the proposed mark, then applicant may wish to argue against the refusal, i.e., explain why it should be withdrawn and why the mark should register. If there are other requirements, then applicant should simply set forth in writing the required changes or statements and request that the Office enter them into the application record. Applicant must also sign and date its response.
