Hi Matt:

 

It was a pleasure to speak to you today.  The proposed amendment is acceptable, as is the standard character statements indicated below.

We look forward to receiving the Examiner’s Amendment in due course.

 

Thanks very much for your assistance with the amendments.

 

Kind regards,

Diane

Diane:

 

Thanks for getting back to me.

 

Unfortunately, portions of the proposed amendment remain indefinite.  Specifically, the introductory language “Ready-made clothing, headwear and footwear of all kinds namely” makes certain goods that follow indefinite—for example: “Ready-made … footwear of all kinds namely, suits”.  Thus, I rearranged this whole first clause in the proposal below, separating “Ready-made clothing of all kinds”, “ready-made headwear of all kinds”, and “ready-made footwear of all kinds”. 

 

Further, after taking a second look, I see that “caps” by itself is indefinite and must be further clarified. 

 

Here is my proposed amendment in full:

 

Class 25:              Ready-made clothing of all kinds, namely, suits, pants, trousers, shorts, jeans, bottoms, leggings, sports pants, sweatpants, overalls, blazers, tops, t-shirts, shirts, sweatshirts, jerseys being activewear, hoodies, jackets, vests, coats, rainwear, dresses, skirts, knitwear, jumpsuits, infantwear, underwear, lingerie, corsets being clothing, sleepwear, loungewear, swimwear, beachwear, gloves, socks, hosiery, bandanas, belts, scarves, neckties, pocket squares, handkerchiefs; ready-made headwear of all kinds, namely, hats and caps; ready-made footwear of all kinds, namely, shoes, slippers, sneakers, sandals, boots, and flip-flops; shoes; underwear; lingerie; corsets being clothing; gloves; hosiery; hats; caps being headwear; headwear; slippers; sneakers; sandals; boots; flip-flops

 

In addition, just to be clear on the standard character issue, as this is a 66(a) application, do you authorize me to place the following statements into the record?:

 

(1)    Under the laws of the country of the basic application and/or registration, the basic application and/or registration includes, and thus the international registration includes, the legal equivalent of a standard character claim.

 

(2)    The mark consists of standard characters without claim to any particular font style, size, or color .

 

If this all looks good to you, I will be able to enter the amendments by EA and approve the mark for publication.

 

Thanks, and please let me know when you get a chance.

 

Best,

 

Matt
