Hi Lauren,
In regards to the trademark application for STAGE (Serial No. 87888324), I approve all of the minor adjustments to the application as you mentioned in your email (below). I believe the classification revision should be "...delivered by television, radio, satellite, the internet and mobile app"
Please let me know if this is possible. Thank you so much for letting me know.
Sincerely,

Subject: Trademark Application for STAGE (Sn. 87888324)
Good afternoon Attorney Kearney,
I trust this email finds you well. I am the examining attorney assigned to the trademark application for STAGE (Serial No. 87888324). Having examined the application, there are two minor issues which can be resolved informally before proceeding. A disclaimer for the term “STAGE” is required as it is descriptive of the applied-for services. The following statement needs to be added to the record: “NO CLAIM IS MADE TO THE EXCLUSIVE RIGHT TO USE “STAGE” APART FROM THE MARK AS SHOWN.”
Furthermore, an amendment to the Identification of Services is required to ensure that all services are considered definite. The changes to the Identification of services, noted in bold, are as follows:
In International Class 41: “Entertainment media production services for motion pictures, television and Internet; Entertainment services in the nature of creation, development, and production of television programming; Entertainment services in the nature of live theatrical, musical or comedic performances; Entertainment services in the nature of an ongoing reality based television program; Entertainment services in the nature of development, creation, production and post-production services of multimedia entertainment content; Entertainment services in the nature of development, creation, production, distribution, and post-production of motion pictures, television shows, and multimedia entertainment content; Entertainment services in the nature of ongoing television series and movies in the fields of action adventure, animation, anime, biography, classics, comedy, crime, documentary, drama, faith, family, fantasy, film-noir, history, horror, international, musical, mystery, romance, science fiction, sports, thrillers, war, and westerns delivered by {indicate form of broadcast medium, e.g., television, radio, satellite, the internet, etc.}; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing multimedia program featuring drama, comedy, action, musicals, concerts and adventure distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; Multimedia entertainment services in the nature of recording, production and post-production services in the fields of music, video, and films; Providing a website featuring entertainment information; Provision of non-downloadable films and television programmes via a video-on-demand service”
With your consent, I will issue an examiner’s amendment to resolve the disclaimer and identification requirements. If this is not acceptable or we do not hear back, a full office action will issue regarding this matter. Kindly advise within 36 hours if this is agreeable to you.
Warm regards,
Lauren Roncoroni
