TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
Upon further review of the instant application, the assigned examining attorney determined the following requirement or refusal is appropriate. The Office apologizes for any inconvenience.
IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES – THIS REQUIREMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE SERVICES SPECIFIED BELOW
The wording “education” in the Class 41 identification of services needs clarification because it is too broad and could include services classified in other international classes. TMEP §§1402.01 and 1402.03. The applicant must specify the form of education, e.g., classes, seminars, workshops. Applicant may adopt the following identification of services, if accurate:
Training and education, namely {Specify form, e.g., classes, seminars, workshops} in the field of compliance with requirements for eligibility for federal affordable housing programs and federal low-income housing programs.
TMEP §1402.01.
To the extent the suggested identification of goods or services is incomplete or inaccurate, the applicant is advised to consult 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 services may be amended to clarify or limit the services, adding to the services or broadening the scope of the services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include services that are not within the scope of the services set forth in the present identification.
RESPONSE- PARTIAL ABANDONMENT ADVISORY
If applicant does not respond to this Office action within the six-month period for response, then the word “education” will be deleted from the Class 41 description. The application will then proceed with the remaining services only. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a).
PLEASE NOTE: Applicant is encouraged to telephone the trademark examining attorney to resolve the issues raised above.
