AMENDED IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES REQUIRED

 

Applicant has classified the following goods in International Class 3:  Disinfectant soap; Toilet cleaners.  However, the proper classification for each item is as follows: 

 

• Disinfectant soap – International Class 5
• Disinfectant toilet bowl cleaners – International Class 5

 

Applicant may respond by amending the foregoing entries to International Class 5, as set forth in the suggested amendment below.

 

The wording "soap" in the identification of goods for International Class 3 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "non-medicated soap" in International Class 3, "medicated soap" in International Class 5, etc.

 

Applicant is advised to delete or modify the duplicate entry in the identification of goods in International Class 3 for "glass cleaners".  See generally TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(a).  If Applicant does not respond to this issue, be advised that the USPTO will remove duplicate entries from the identification prior to registration.

 

If modifying one of the duplicate entries, Applicant may amend it to clarify or limit the goods, but not to broaden or expand the goods beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Also, generally, any deleted goods may not later be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).

The wording "air fresheners" in the identification of goods for International Class 5 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "air fragrancing preparations" in International Class 3, "air deodorizing preparations" in International Class 5, etc.

 

The wording "meal replacement bars" in the identification of goods for International Class 5 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "meal replacement bars adapted for medical use" in International Class 5, "fruit-based meal replacement bars" in International Class 29, "chocolate-based meal replacement bars" in International Class 30, etc.

 

The wording "cutlery" in the identification of goods for International Class 8 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "table cutlery" in International Class 8, "surgical cutlery" in International Class 10, etc.

 

Applicant has classified "tablemats of plastic" International Class 16.  However, the proper classification for this item is in International Class 21. Applicant may respond by amending the foregoing entry to International Class 21 as set forth in the suggested amendment below.

 

The wording "coconut oil" in the identification of goods for International Class 29 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "coconut oil for medical purposes" in International Class 5, "coconut oil for food" in International Class 29, etc.

Applicant has classified "piccalilli" International Class 29.  However, the proper classification for this item is in International Class 30. Applicant may respond by amending the foregoing entry to International Class 30 as set forth in the suggested amendment below.

Applicant may respond by amending the foregoing entries to International Class 29 as set forth in the suggested amendment below.

 

The wording "syrup" in the identification of goods for International Class 30 must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  In particular, this wording could encompass "cough syrups" in International Class 5, "table syrup" in International Class 30, etc.

Additional portions of the wording in the identification of goods and services are unacceptable because they contain indefinite language and, thus, the nature of these goods and services is unclear, as set forth below.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. The USPTO requires applicants to identify goods and services with specificity in order to provide public notice, to enable the USPTO to classify the goods and services properly, and to reach informed judgments concerning likelihood of confusion under 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).  The USPTO has discretion to require the degree of particularity deemed necessary to clearly identify the goods and services covered by the mark.   In re Omega SA, 494 F.3d 1362, 83 USPQ2d 1541 (Fed. Cir. 2007). Applicant may refer to the suggested amended identification of goods and/or services below.

 

The Trademark Act requires that a trademark or service mark application must include a “specification of … the goods or services” in connection with which the mark is being used or will be used.  15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(2) (emphasis added), (b)(2) (emphasis added); see 15 U.S.C. §1053.  Specifically, a complete application must include a “list of the particular goods or services on or in connection with which the applicant uses or intends to use the mark.”  37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6) (emphasis added).  This requirement for a specification of the particular goods or services applies to applications filed under all statutory bases.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(a)(2), 1051(b)(2), 1053, 1126(d)-(e), 1141f; 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(b)-(c).

 

“The purpose of the identification of goods and services is to provide the general population, including consumers and members of the relevant industry, with an understandable description of the goods and services, which is done by using the common commercial name for the goods and/or services.”  In re Gulf Coast Nutritionals, Inc., 106 USPQ2d 1243, 1247 (TTAB 2013) (citing In re Sones, 590 F.3d 1282, 1289, 93 USPQ2d 1118, 1124 (Fed. Cir. 2009)).  If there is no common, ordinary name for the goods and services, Applicant should describe the goods and services using wording that would be generally understood by the average person.  See Schenley Indus., Inc. v. Battistoni, 112 USPQ 485, 486 (Comm’r Pats. 1957); Cal. Spray-Chem. Corp. v. Osmose Wood Pres. Co. of Am., 102 USPQ 321, 322 (Comm’r Pats. 1954); TMEP §1402.01.

 

An in depth knowledge of the relevant field should not be necessary for understanding a description of the goods and services.  TMEP §1402.01.  “[T]echnical, high-sounding verbiage” should be avoided.  Cal. Spray-Chem. Corp. v. Osmose Wood Pres. Co. of Am., 102 USPQ at 322.
