Serial Number 79/005593
The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.
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. Section 1052(d). TMEP section 1105.01.
The identification of goods and recitation of services are unacceptable as indefinite. TMEP section 1402.01. The applicant may adopt the following recitation, if accurate:
Equipment for aircraft namely, [specify by common commercial name]; scientific, surveying, electric, electronic telecommunication, optical, measuring, signaling and monitoring, emergency apparatus and instruments, namely, [specify by common commercial name]; apparatus for recording, transmission and reproduction of sounds or images, namely, [specify by common commercial name], in Int. Cl. 9
Military aircraft; component parts and equipment for military aircraft, namely, [specify by common commercial name], in Int. Cl. 12
Repair of aircraft, repair of component parts and equipment for aircraft, in Int. Cl. 37
Project studies [specify precise nature of studies]; scientific and industrial research; computer programming for others, namely, programming calculators; consultation in the aeronautical field, in Int. Cl. 42
Please note that, while the identification may be amended to clarify or limit the goods and services, adding to the goods or services or broadening the scope of the goods or services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods and services that are not within the scope of the goods and services set forth in the present identification.
No set form is required for response to this Office action. The applicant may respond via fax, electronic mail or traditional mail. The applicant should simply set forth the required changes or statements and request that the Office enter them. The applicant must sign the response.
In all correspondence to the Patent and Trademark Office, the applicant should list the name and law office of the examining attorney, the serial number of this application, the mailing date of this Office action, and the applicant's telephone number to speed up further processing.
Any communications regarding pending applications sent via e-mail to any of the law office e-mail addresses must:
(1) be in English;
(2) include the entire response as e-mail text, not as an attachment;
(3) list the serial number in the "Subject" line; and
(4) include any specimens or evidence in jpg format only.
For security and compatibility reasons, the Office will not accept communications that include any attachments, other than those in jpg format. Thus, no attachments in WordPerfect®, Word, Adobe® PDF or any other format EXCEPT jpg can be accepted.
Additionally, all such communications sent via e-mail should (1) be signed electronically (using the same format accepted for electronically-filed applications, namely, the signatory must enter any combination of alpha/numeric characters that has been specifically adopted to serve the function of the signature, preceded and followed by the forward slash (/) symbol. Acceptable "signatures" could include: /john doe/; /jd/; and /123-4567/. (See 64 FR 33056, 33062 (June 21, 1999))); and (2) address every issue raised. Failure to comply with these additional requirements will result in delays in prosecuting your application.
The statutory period for response to an Office action during examination is six months. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b). The examining attorney does not have any discretion to shorten or extend such period.
The crucial date for the response is the date it is received by the Office, not the date it is mailed by the applicant. The applicant should see 37 C.F.R. §§1.8 and 1.10; TMEP §§702.02, 702.03 and 702.04(f), regarding certificate of mailing, certificate of transmission and "Express Mail" procedures to avoid lateness.
Current status and status date information is available on-line at http://tarr.gov.uspto.report/ or, via push button telephone, for all federal trademark registration and application records maintained in the automated Trademark Reporting and Monitoring (TRAM) system. The information may be accessed by calling (703) 305‑8747 from 6:30 a.m. until midnight, Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, and entering a seven‑digit registration number or eight‑digit application number, followed by the "#" symbol, after the welcoming message and tone. Callers may request information for up to five registration number or application number records per call.
