INFORMALITIES
PLEASE NOTE: Applicant is encouraged to telephone the trademark examining attorney to resolve the issues raised below.
The identification of goods needs clarification because it is too broad and could include goods classified in other international classes. Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
“Children's books, calendars, maps, chalk boards for school and home use, dry erase writing boards, [specify, e.g., printed] responsibility charts, [specify, e.g., paper, mat] weather display boards, pens, pencils, modeling clay, chalk, erasers, glue for stationery or household use, arts and craft paint kits, paint brushes, stencils, rubber stamps, paper, children's activity books; and magnetic learning boards, namely calendars, maps, chalk boards, dry erase boards, responsibility charts and weather boards” in International Class 16. TMEP §§1402.01 and 1402.03.
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. Section 2.71(a); TMEP section 804.09. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of goods set forth in the present identification.
Note:
The stated refusal refers to Class 16 only and does not bar registration in the other classes.
Applicant may respond to the stated refusal by doing one of the following:
(1) deleting the classes to which the refusal pertains;
(2) arguing against the refusal of the combined application as a whole;
(3) filing a request to divide out the goods and/or services that have not been refused registration, so that the mark may be published for opposition in the classes to which the refusal does not pertain (See 37 C.F.R. §2.87 and TMEP §§1110.05 and 1403.03 regarding the requirements for filing a request to divide); or
(4) changing the basis, if appropriate (the basis may not be changed for applications filed under Trademark Act §66(a)).
