The assigned Trademark Attorney has reviewed the statement of use and has determined the following.
TELEPHONE INTERVIEW
Applicant is strongly encouraged to call the assigned Trademark Attorney so that the following issue may be resolved via telephone:
In General
The wording in the amended identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it is ambiguous. TMEP §1402.01. Applicant should amend the application so to delete the wording “all sold individually and in sets”, since only “gel ink roller ball pens” are listed. Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Writing instruments, namely, gel ink roller ball pens, in International Class 16
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.
If applicant has questions about its application or needs assistance in responding to this Office Action, please telephone the assigned trademark attorney directly at the number below.
