The applicant should note that when amending the identification of goods, the applicant should avoid brackets [], parentheses () or any other parenthetical marker {} in the body of the identification.  If items require explanation, then the explanation should be in the body of the identification.  The examining attorney has used parentheses only to show the applicant where it needs to explain an item or to fill in a blank with a specific item.

 

In a Trademark Act Section 66(a) application, classification of goods and/or services may not be changed from that assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization.  37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b).  Additionally, classes may not be added or goods and/or services transferred from one class to another in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application.  37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §1401.03(d). 

 

For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.  See TMEP §1402.04.

 

Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying language or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or add goods and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b).  The scope of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the wording in the identification.  TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b).  Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope, and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).

 

Recitation of Services

The identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified because the applicant has named services which require further explanation in order to be considered definite and properly classified. In addition, as stated above, the wording in parentheses needs to be deleted or incorporated into the body of the recitation. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.  The examining attorney suggests the following.

The applicant should note that when amending the identification of goods, the applicant should avoid brackets [], parentheses () or any other parenthetical marker {} in the body of the identification.  If items require explanation, then the explanation should be in the body of the identification.  The examining attorney has used parentheses only to show the applicant where it needs to explain an item or to fill in a blank with a specific item.

 

In a Trademark Act Section 66(a) application, classification of goods and/or services may not be changed from that assigned by the International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization.  37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b).  Additionally, classes may not be added or goods and/or services transferred from one class to another in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application.  37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §1401.03(d). 

 

For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.  See TMEP §1402.04.

 

Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying language or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or add goods and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b).  The scope of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the wording in the identification.  TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b).  Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope, and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).

 

Description of Mark Required

The applied-for mark is not in standard characters and applicant did not provide a description of the mark with the initial application.  Applications for marks not in standard characters must include an accurate and concise description of the entire mark that identifies literal elements as well as any design elements.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §§808.01, 808.02, 808.03(b). 

 

Therefore, applicant must provide a description of the applied-for mark.  The following is suggested:

 

The mark consists of MNP with the N appearing backwards. The letters are green with the “P” having a blue top portion.  Surrounding the letters is a rectangle in gray dotted lines on a white background.

 

Translation and Transliteration Required

The applicant inserted a translation of the non-English characters in the mark; however the applicant must also translate the wording in the mark. The following transliteration/translation statement is added to the record:

 

The non-Latin characters in the mark transliterate to “_______” and this means “______” in English.

 

37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(10), 2.61(b); TMEP §§809, 809.03.

 

Significance of Mark

The proposed mark appears to be an acronym. The applicant should indicate both the foreign wording represented by the mark and the English translation of what the letters stand for in the mark.  37 C.F.R. 2.61(b).

 

WHO IS PERMITTED TO RESPOND TO THIS PROVISIONAL FULL REFUSAL:  Any response to this provisional refusal must be personally signed by an individual applicant, all joint applicants, or someone with legal authority to bind a juristic applicant (e.g., a corporate officer or general partner).  37 C.F.R. §§2.62(b), 2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §712.01.  If applicant hires a qualified U.S. attorney to respond on his or her behalf, then the attorney must sign the response.  37 C.F.R. §§2.193(e)(2)(i), 11.18(a); TMEP §§611.03(b), 712.01.  Qualified U.S. attorneys include those in good standing with a bar of the highest court of any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S. commonwealths or U.S. territories.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.17(a), 2.62(b), 11.1, 11.14(a); TMEP §§602, 712.01.  Additionally, for all responses, the proper signatory must personally sign the document or personally enter his or her electronic signature on the electronic filing.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.193(a); TMEP §§611.01(b), 611.02.  The name of the signatory must also be printed or typed immediately below or adjacent to the signature, or identified elsewhere in the filing.  37 C.F.R. §2.193(d); TMEP §611.01(b).

 

In general, foreign attorneys are not permitted to represent applicants before the USPTO (e.g., file written communications, authorize an amendment to an application, or submit legal arguments in response to a requirement or refusal).  See 37 C.F.R. §11.14(c), (e); TMEP §§602.03-.03(b), 608.01. 

 

DESIGNATION OF DOMESTIC REPRESENTATIVE:  The USPTO encourages applicants who do not reside in the United States to designate a domestic representative upon whom any notice or process may be served.  TMEP §610; see 15 U.S.C. §§1051(e), 1141h(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.24(a)(1)-(2).  Such designations may be filed online at http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/teas/correspondence.jsp.
