Thank you so much for your email Examining Attorney Brody,
Would you be amenable to the following clarification?:
Providing online non-downloadable computer software for use as an application programming interface (API) for use in the fields of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, image content analysis, speech recognition, deep learning, high performance computing, distributed computing, virtualization, machine learning, cluster computing, internet of things, and container management
If this modification would be acceptable to you, please issue an Examiner's Amendment. Thanks very much and have a great week!

Ms. Liburd,
I apologize that on further review for publication, one remaining issue was flagged in the identification of services.
The following identification of services in class 42 needs clarification:
Providing non-downloadable computer software for use as an application programming interface (API) for use in the fields of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, image content analysis, speech recognition, deep learning, high performance computing, distributed computing, virtualization, machine learning, cluster computing, internet of things, and container management
The wording must be amended to specify whether the non-downloadable software is provided on-line, provided via a website, provided on a temporary basis, or is otherwise web-based. Without such specification, the wording “providing non-downloadable software” is broad enough to encompass services such as Class 39 distribution, namely, delivery of Class 9 non-downloadable recorded software goods.
I propose the following amendment to fix this issue:
Providing temporary use of non-downloadable computer software for use an application programming interface (API) for use in the fields of artificial intelligence, natural language processing, image content analysis, speech recognition, deep learning
Please let me know whether this is acceptable, and I will immediately issue an Examiner’s Amendment and re-approve the mark for publication. Sorry for the inconvenience.
