The assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and has determined the following:
Search Results
The Office records have been searched and no similar registered or pending mark has been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
Identification of Goods
Applicant must remove any parentheses from the identification of goods and/or services and incorporate the parenthetical information into the description. Generally, parentheses and brackets should not be used in identifications. Parenthetical information is only permitted in identifications if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in such a way that it does not affect the clarity of the identification, e.g., “obi (Japanese sash).” TMEP §1402.12.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Class 9 – Diagnostic software for image processing for medical purposes, namely, reconstructing and displaying image data from computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. TMEP §§1402.01 and 1402.03.
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.
For assistance with identifying and classifying 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.
Applicant must submit the following standard character claim: “The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any particular font, style, size, or color.” 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §807.03(a).
Applicant must specify whether the wording “OBLIQUE” has any significance in the diagnostic software or image processing trade or industry or as applied to the goods/services described in the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b).
