TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
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.
The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least THREE (3) classes; however, the fees submitted are sufficient for only ONE (1) class. In a multiple-class application, a fee for each class is required. 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2); TMEP §§810-810.01 and 1403.01.
Therefore, applicant must either: (1) restrict the application to the number of class(es) covered by the fee(s) already paid, or (2) submit the fees for the additional class(es).
The wording in the identification of goods needs clarification because it identifies goods and services in more than one class. Applicant may change this wording to the following, if accurate. TMEP §1402.01.
Class 9: electrical distribution systems for the distribution of electrical energy or signals in an office environment, namely, electrical distribution harnesses, electrical receptacles in the nature of electrical outlets, data receptacles in the nature of data connectors, power conductors, electrical connectors, electrical jumper cables, electrical power distribution blocks and electrical terminals
Class 11: electrical lighting fixtures and electrical lighting assemblies consisting primarily of lighting housings, lenses, and electrical connectors, sold as a unit
Class 40: custom plastic injection molding services
Please note that, while the identification of goods and/or services may be amended to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, adding to the goods and/or services or broadening the scope of the goods and/or services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods and/or services that are not within the scope of the goods and/or services set forth in the present identification.
OWNERSHIP OF PRIOR REGISTRATIONS
If the applicant is the owner of Registration Nos. 2674454 and 2695128, the applicant must submit a claim of ownership. 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812. Copies of these registrations are attached.
Applicant should include the following information on all correspondence with the Office: (1) the name and law office number of the trademark examining attorney; (2) the serial number of this application; (3) the mailing date of this Office action; and, (4) applicant's telephone number. 37 C.F.R. §2.194(b)(1); TMEP §302.03(a).
