NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: February 24, 2020
The Office has reassigned this application to the undersigned trademark examining attorney.
The trademark examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience caused by the delay in raising this issue.
Applicant must address all issues raised in this Office action, in addition to the issues raised in the Office action dated July 9, 2019. The issue raised in the previous Office action is as follows and is maintained: identification of goods required, as modified herein. Applicant must also comply with applicable multiple-class application requirements. See TMEP §713.02.
The following is a SUMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
Applicant must respond to all issues raised in this Office action and the previous July 9, 2019, Office action, within six (6) months of the date of issuance of this Office action. 37 C.F.R. §2.62(a); see TMEP §711.02. If applicant does not respond within this time limit, the application will be abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a).
AMENDMENT TO IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS REQUIRED
The wording “diagnostic kits, namely, medical diagnostic kits and biological diagnostic kits for use in diagnostics, namely, quantification of blood sample components, namely, proteins, consisting primarily of blood sample collection equipment for collection and testing of blood samples” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because the nature of the goods is uncertain. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant must specify the common commercial name of the blood sample collection equipment in the kits, e.g., blood collection needles, blood collection bags sold empty, and medical sample tubes and vials.
Applicant may substitute the following amended identification, if accurate (proposed amendments in bold):
Class 5: Diagnostic kits comprised of medical diagnostic reagents and assays for testing of bodily fluids for use in disease detection, namely, protein deficiency
Class 10: diagnostic kits, namely, medical diagnostic kits and biological diagnostic kits for use in diagnostics, namely, for quantification of blood sample components in the nature of proteins, consisting primarily of blood sample collection equipment in the nature of blood collection needles, blood collection bags sold empty, and medical sample tubes and vials for collection and testing of blood samples
The identification of services in Classes 42 and 44, as previously amended, remain unchanged.
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.
MULTIPLE-CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
(1) List the goods and/or services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.
(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fees already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods and services that are classified in at least four classes; however, applicant submitted fees sufficient for only three classes. Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
See 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
