Subject: U.S. Trademark Application No. 86529017 LC LOST CREEK FISHING GEAR AND ACCESSORIES

 

Hello Mr. Weber,

 

I’m inclined to drop the disclaimer requirement as to “LOST CREEK”, pending approval from my supervisor, but before that, Class 26 is still problematic.  I intend to issue a final Section 2(d) likelihood of confusion refusal as to that class unless you delete it.  Also, to match the identification in the co-pending application, “ice skimmers” should be amended to “hand tools in the nature of ice skimmers” so that they clearly belong in Class 8, and “fish finders” should be amended to “sonar fish finders” so that they clearly belong in Class 9.  These are changes that can be made via an Examiner’s Amendment. 

 

Finally, and this not only concerns this case but also U.S. Serial No. 86529008, I believe the clause “fitted boat motor covers” is misclassified in Class 12.  I overlooked this in the initial examination.  Because boat motors belong in Class 7, I believe that covers specially adapted for those goods would similarly belong in Class 7.  If you can, when you file the Statement of Use for that case, please be sure to amend the classification of that clause to Class 7.  I, myself, will make an internal note so that we can catch it on either end.

 

Regarding the above 2(d) and ID issues, though, a response by December 11^th is requested. 

 

/KGC/
