The Examining Attorney has made the argument that Registrant and Applicant's services are not identical, but are instead only "related in some manner." Further, only some of the services are said to overlap with respect to "the provision of travel information." With less clarity, the Examining Attorney adds that there may be "other goods and services" that also overlap. With that said, Applicant is prepared to delete those services from its application where there is a clear overlap (e.g., "providing information about air transportation via a website on a global computer network:"), but intends to maintain those services where there is no overlap (e.g., "transportation of passengers, parcels, freight and cargo by air;"). From the Examining Attorney's analysis, it is unclear which of the remaining services are said to overlap with Registrant's services. travel agency services, namely, making reservations and bookings for transportation; airline passenger services in the nature of a frequent flyer program; Applicant respectfully, requests clarification.
