This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on November 30, 2007. The amended identification is made of record. The following identification requirement is raised for the first time:

Applicant must clarify the identification of goods by indicating that the electronic publications are recorded on computer media, if accurate. TMEP §1402.01.
The following identification may be adopted, if accurate:
“Electronic publications recorded on computer media, namely, manuals featuring quick reference "how to" information on a wide variety of subjects, namely, home maintenance, repair and improvement, financial management, charitable foundation start up procedures, and pet care; electronic publications, namely, home manuals and forms for accounting, business, and bookkeeping purposes; computer accounting software; computer software for database management for use by high wealth individuals and families in managing their estate, namely personal and real property, financial accounts, calendar, documents, and communications; computer programs for database management; computer programs for personal and real estate property information management; computer programs for contact information database management; computer software to enable private and secure real time electronic communication over a computer network,” in International Class 9.
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.
