TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
After further review of the application, the Office has determined the following.
The identification of goods in Class 2 is indefinite and must be clarified because all insulation products are in Class 17. Applicant may adopt the following identification in Class 17, if accurate: SEALER COATINGS, INTUMESCENT PAINTS, INTUMESCENT COATINGS AND COATINGS ALL USED AS INSULATION FOR SOUND AND HEAT, CONDENSATION CONTROL AND FIRE PROTECTION IN THE CONSTRUCTION INDUSTRY. TMEP §1402.01.
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, 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.
PLEASE NOTE: All of the issues raised can be resolved by telephone. The applicant may telephone the examining attorney, instead of submitting a written response, to expedite the application.
