Subject: RE: TM Application for "CLINIQUE" (serial no. 87505693)
Dear Ms. Ruggiero,
I just wanted to follow up on this application and another copending one that I have for “CLINIQUE ID”, serial no. 87531762.
I need to also require a translation for “CLINIQUE” meaning “CLINICAL” in both of these applications. I know this has not been required I many of the prior CLINIQUE marks, but I cannot find any good reason for this. Sorry I did not bring this up initially, but I was trying to figure out to figure out if we could avoid the requirement based on the prior registrations. I have been told we cannot.
Again, if the changes I mentioned here and in the email below are acceptable, I can make the adjustments for you and get the cases moved forwards towards registration.
Please feel free to call or email me to discuss any of these issues further.
Sincerely,
Kim Ray

Subject: TM Application for "CLINIQUE" (serial no. 87505693)
This email is intended for Donna M. Ruggiero and/or any authorized party
United States Trademark Application Serial No. 87505693 — “CLINIQUE”
Dear Ms. Ruggiero,
I am the trademark examining attorney at the United States Patent and Trademark Office reviewing your above-referenced trademark application, and I wanted to discuss the following issues with you.
Identification of Goods: The application required amendments to the identification of goods because the current language is unacceptably indefinite. In particular, you must specify the function of the software identified. If the changes below, with amended language in red and underlined font, are acceptable, I will issue an examiner's amendment accordingly:
“computer software programs, electronic and digital diagnostic tools and devices that analyze skin and face shape and suggest makeup and cosmetic uses all in the field of cosmetics, skin care and beauty care and products relating thereto”
Please feel free to clarify or tweak my suggestion. As long as some function is specified, this can be acceptable.
If we can agree to an acceptable amendment, I can make the change for you via an Examiner’s Amendment and the application may proceed toward registration.
Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!
Sincerely,
Kim Ray
