Subject: Re: US Trademark Applications 88135964, 88149671 and 88149687 (COURAGEJD and JD with design)
Dear Ms. Hamburg,
I hope this email finds you well. I am the examining trademark attorney assigned to several of your client’s cases for COURAGEJD and DJ with design. There are a few housekeeping issues – that can be handled by examiner’s amendment - that need to be cleared up before the applications can be approved for publication.
Identifications of goods and services
- COURAGEJD and one of the JD +design marks
Both of these applications’ currently have the following ID: “providing online audiovisual commentary in the field of esports and video games; entertainment in the nature of e-sport events, namely, live and pre-recorded streamed performances of videogames; personal appearances by an esports celebrity”
The changes I’d like to see make it clear that the services are entertainment related to cement them in Class 41 or other necessary changes to make sure the clauses are definite and correctly classified. I suggest: “providing online audiovisual commentary in the field of esports and video games for entertainment purposes; entertainment services in the nature of e-sport events, namely, live
and pre-recorded streamed performances ofvideo game competitions; providing online, non-downloadable videos in the field of video game competitions; entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by an esports celebrity”
- JD + design for goods
The changes here are again to make sure the goods are both definite and correctly classified, the biggest change would come from adding a class which is necessary as video game consoles are playthings in Class 28 whereas almost all the other goods listed in Class 9 can stay in Class 9 with some prefatory language. I suggest:
“Class 9:
Gaming equipment and accessories, namely, video game controllers, video game consoles;computers, computer monitors and laptops built for gaming;video game systems devices, namely,electronic sensor devices designed to measure movement, speed, three dimensional space, cameras, projectors being television apparatus for projection purposes, headphones, and microphones for use in gaming; electronic game equipment, namely, specifically adapted equipment being cables for communicating with a television or computer for playing electronic games
Class 20: gaming chairs
Class 25: Clothing, namely {please list all Class 25 clothing goods, e.g. shirts, pants, scarves} footwear and headwear, namely, {please list all Class 25 headwear, e.g. hats, caps, beanies}
headgear
Class 28: Gaming equipment and accessories, namely, video game controllers, video game consoles;”
In order to make these changes as suggested we will need to either charge a trust account or a credit card for another class of goods.
Description of the Marks
Finally, for the two lion’s head marks we are going to need to amend the description in order to acknowledge the lettering in the marks. I suggest: “The mark consists of a stylized lion's head design with three stars centered over design to the left of the head is a stylized “J” and to the right is a stylized “D”.
Please let me know if you have any questions or concerns and I look forward to working with you on these cases and hopefully moving them on soon.
Sincerely,
Charles H. Hiser IV
