The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
The identification of goods in Class 1 is indefinite and must be clarified because the nature of the MATERIALS must be identified. Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate: ADHESIVES FOR USE IN SOUND AND HEAT INSULATION, CONDENSATION CONTROL AND FIRE PROTECTION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY; SPRAY APPLIED FIRE PROOFING CHEMICALS; ACCELERANTS FOR USE WITH CEMENTITIOUS SLURRIES. 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.
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.
Please note that the remaining goods identified in the application are acceptable.
Applicant must submit a new drawing with registration symbol deleted because it is not part of the mark. TMEP §§807.02 and 807.14(a).
Search Results
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.

NOTICE OF NEW PROCEDURE FOR E-MAILED OFFICE ACTIONS: In late spring 2007, for any applicant who authorizes e-mail communication with the USPTO, the USPTO will no longer directly e-mail the actual Office action to the applicant. Instead, upon issuance of an Office action, the USPTO will e-mail the applicant a notice with a link/web address to access the Office action using Trademark Document Retrieval (TDR), which is located on the USPTO website at http://portal.gov.uspto.report/external/portal/tow. The Office action will not be attached to the e-mail notice. Upon receipt of the notice, the applicant can then view and print the actual Office action and any evidentiary attachments using the provided link/web address. TDR is available 24 hours a day, seven days a week, including holidays and weekends. This new process is intended to eliminate problems associated with e-mailed Office actions that contain numerous attachments.
