EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/26/2014

 

 

APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED:  In accordance with the authorization granted by Lynne Graybeal on March 24 2014, the trademark examining attorney has amended the application as indicated below.  Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections.  Otherwise, no response is necessary.  TMEP §707.  Any amendments to the identification of goods and/or services may clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but may not add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq.

 

The application is amended to a multiple-class application with the addition of International Class 35.  Receipt of the additional filing fee is hereby acknowledged.  The specimens provided with the original application show use of the mark in connection with services in both Classes 35 and 42, so no additional specimen is required.  The applicant states that the dates of use are the same for both classes of services, so no declaration in support of the dates of use for Class 35 is required.

 

The identification/classification of services is amended as follows:

 

The services “computer services, namely providing consultation services and technical information in the fields of digital marketing and advertising” are reclassified in International Class 35.

The wording “website consulting services, namely” is inserted before the wording “tracking, analyzing, evaluating, and advising others regarding website design, implementation, usability, functioning, performance, and optimization.”

 

The period after the wording “keyword search performance and creation” is replaced with a semi-colon.

 

The word “providing” is inserted between the wording “application service provider (ASP), namely” and the wording “computer search engine software.”

 

The services “survey design and research in the fields of advertising and marketing campaigns and analysis” are reclassified in International Class 35.

 

The period after the wording “survey design and research in the fields of advertising and marketing campaigns and analysis” is replace with a semi-colon.

 

The services “providing access to computer bulletin boards” are deleted from the application.

 

The services “providing technical support services in the nature of troubleshooting in the fields of digital marketing and advertising” are reclassified in International Class 35.

 

The application will now proceed to publication.

WARNING

 

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.” 

 

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”  For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
