SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
Applicant has applied for DULYTEK for “heat press machines and structural accessory parts therefor; supercritical fluid extracting machines for chemical processing” in International Class 7.
Applicant should note that any wording in bold or in bold italics below offers guidance and/or shows the changes
being proposed for the identification of goods. The curly brackets, e.g. { }, contain instructions to be followed and/or suggested wording. Brackets (or instructions) should
not be a part of the amended, final ID. If there is wording in applicant’s version of the identification of goods that should be removed, it will be shown with a line through it such as
this: strikethrough. Applicant should enter its amendments in standard font.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Class 7: “Heat press machines and structural accessory parts therefor; supercritical fluid extracting machines for chemical
processing”
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.
MULTI-CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
(1) List the goods by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.
(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods that are classified in at least 3 classes; however, applicant submitted a fee sufficient for only 1 class. Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
