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. However, before the mark can be published, the applicant must address the following.
RECITATION OF SERVICES
The wording “hedging, arbitrage, investing in equity, fixed income, credit opportunities, securities in both public and private markets” in the recitation of services is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant may amend this wording to “financial investment services in the areas of hedge funds, arbitrage, equity capital, fixed income, credit risk management and securities in both the public and private markets,” if accurate. TMEP §1402.11.
Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any services that are not within the scope of the services recited in the present identification.
