The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
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.
THIS REQUIREMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE GOODS SPECIFIED THEREIN
The identification of goods contains some items that are unacceptable as indefinite. Applicant must clarify the identification of goods to specify the common commercial or generic name for the goods. If there is no common commercial or generic name, then applicant must describe the product and intended consumer as well as its main purpose and intended uses. Applicant may adopt one or more of the following identification of goods, if accurate. 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.
If applicant prosecutes this application as a combined, or multiple-class application, then applicant must comply with each of the following for those goods and/or services based on an intent to use the mark in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(b):
(1) Applicant must list the goods and/or services by international class with the classes listed in ascending numerical order. TMEP § 1403.01; and
