The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). TMEP §704.02.
The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial names of the goods. If there is no common commercial name, the applicant must describe the product and its intended uses. TMEP section 804. The applicant may access the Office’s Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at: http://www.gov.uspto.report/web/offices/TAC/doc/gsmanual.
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 1402.01. Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of goods set forth in the present identification.
The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
Class 25: Clothing and sporting outfits, namely t-shirts, shirts, pants, sweat shirts, sweat pants, hats, shoes, socks, underwear, jackets, coats, dresses, skirts and tank tops
Applicant must submit an English translation of all foreign wording in the mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §809. In the present case, the wording “TRES” needs translating for the record. The following translation statement is suggested: “The English translation of the word TRES in the mark is THREE.”
PLEASE NOTE: Applicant is encouraged to telephone the trademark examining attorney to resolve the issues raised above
