Elizabeth:
Thanks for the email. The services being provided is gaming software as a service – gaming is the ultimate type of software (as a service) being provided. The terms “computer” and “video” specify the breadth of gaming software at issue, that is, “computer games” and “video games” are both being provided: sometimes people think of them separately, but the applicant is providing software (as a service) for them both.
With that understanding, identification can remain as is, or it could be: “Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for playing computer games and video games.”
We look forward to your favorable reply.
Sincerely,
Kyle Hanson
Attorney at Law

Dear Attorney Hanson:
I am the examining attorney assigned to review the above referenced application. I completed my review thereof and found a minor issue that is best resolved informally.
The identification of services must specify the function of the software. The following entry in the identification of services is not acceptable: “Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for computer and video games.” The wording software for computer with computer and video games fails to specify the function of the software.
I suggest the following amendment if accurate: “Design and development of computer game software and virtual reality software; Designing and developing computer game software and video game software for use with computers, video game program systems and computer networks; Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for operating computer systems and playing video games; Software design and development.”
Please advise me if the suggestions above are acceptable. I would be happy to enter them, send a letter confirming and move the application along. Please feel free to provide a more accurate function if needed. Alternatively, I will send an office action to which you may formally respond.
Best regards,
/Elizabeth N. Kajubi/
