Dear Sam,
Thank you for your email.
Please proceed to amend “providing online music playlists via the internet and other communications networks” to “providing online non-downloadable music playlists via the Internet and other communication network.”
As for “entertainment services,” please proceed to delete this language from the application.
We trust that this addresses your concerns. Please reach out with any questions.

Dear Atty Christine K Au-Yeung,
I am the trademark examining attorney at the USPTO, reviewing the above referenced application.
The identification of services are acceptable in Int’l. CL. 41, with the exception of the wording “Providing online music playlists via the Internet and other communications networks” and “entertainment services” is unclear, could include goods not services as stated (software) and is overly broad in stating only a class heading. I suggest the following wording:
Providing online non-downloadable music playlists via the Internet and other communication network. This wording has properly been used in the applicant’s co-pending application 87370193. And, entertainment services, namely, curating songs for music playlists; entertainment services, namely, organizing, arranging and conducting music festivals and concerts.
The following is how the identification in the application can be amended by an examiner’s amendment, which will allow me to approve the application for Publication:
Provision of information relating to music; providing online non-downloadable music playlists via the Internet and other communication network; entertainment services, namely, curating songs for music playlists; entertainment service, namely, organizing, arranging and conducting music festivals and concerts; entertainment services, namely, a multimedia program series featuring music and musicians distributed via the internet and other communications networks; information, advisory and consultancy relating to the aforesaid—Int’l. CL. 41.
Can I have your permission to go forward with the examiner’s amendment?
You may reply to this email or give me a call at the number listed below.
Thank you for your assistance,
/Samuel E. Sharper, Jr./
