ARGUMENT(S)

In the office action issued on January 23, 2019, the examining attorney refused registration of Applicant’s mark based on several prior registrations, as well as identifying two prior pending applications.  As stated by the Examiner, the refusal applies to “computer software, providing non-downloadable computer software and provision and rental of software as a services (SAAS) services.”  As part of this response, Applicant has deleted the broad claim to the services identified by the Examiner, relying on its offerings in connection with artificial intelligence and related technology.  Applicant therefore requests that the refusal to register based on the prior registrations and pending applications be withdrawn.

Apart from deleting the broadest language, Applicant accepted the Examiner’s recommendations for amending its claimed goods and services except for the claim to related to “application programming interface (API)” where the Examiner asked for Applicant to specify the function beyond providing the field in which the API is used.  For example, Examiner suggested the following language in Class 9:

computer software, for use as an namely, application programming interface (API) software for {specify function of the software} for use in the fields of artificial intelligence, deep learning, high performance computing, distributed computing, virtualization and machine learning

Applicant amended its claim to :

computer software, namely, application programming interface (API) software for use in the fields of artificial intelligence, deep learning, high performance computing, distributed computing, virtualization and machine learning

Applicant respectfully submits that this is an acceptable claim as demonstrated by other recently allowed registrations claiming similar goods/services.
