Subject: Trademarks (1) JBL, Application No. 79/193,975 (Our Ref. 28568.010) and (2) JBL & Fish Design, Application No. 79/193,974 (Our Ref. 28568.011) in the USA

 

Dear Ms. Lavache,

 

In your recent Office actions against our client’s applications for JBL and JBL & Fish Design, you found some of our client’s goods and services indefinite.  Our client is prepared to accept most or all of your suggestions for rewording, except for one, and would like some clarification on that one. 

 

In Class 24, our client had included filtering materials of textile, and you suggested that our client delete this item of goods in Class 24.  Our client had come back and insisted that many of its filtering materials are of textile, such as of floss, fleece, mats and bags, and they say that more generic terminology is not available.

 

As such, our client would like to know whether you would find acceptable, the following rewording of these goods:

“Filtering materials of textile, namely, filter mats, filter floss, filter fleece and filter bags, all of textile material and all for use in aquariums, terrariums, and garden ponds” in Class 24.

 

Can you please let me know if this wording is acceptable re the goods “filtering materials of textile”?

 

Thank you, 

 

Jeffrey Epstein, Esq.
