REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
AFTER FINAL ACTION
DENIED
Issue date: January 09, 2020
The applicant did not clarify the nature of the services at issue. The services remain indefinite because the services could potentially be classified in another class, e.g., the services listed as “automated document generation and automated administrative functions” could include software services in International Class 42. Nor does “legal process automation” clarify the nature of any service because the service itself is also indefinite; the service could include software services in International Class 42. The applicant must clearly specify the nature of the services. The applicant should note that the suggested services applied to the entire prefacing identification and not just “time entry.” The applicant may wish to consider adopting a different drafting method, e.g., legal support services in the nature of automated document generation and automated administrative functions including filing, docketing, and time entry, namely, [list the common commercial or generic name of the services. If there is no common commercial or generic name for the services, the applicant must describe the services and indicate their nature.] in International Class 45.
Accordingly, the following requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final in the Office action dated September 26, 2019, are maintained and continued:
• Identification.
See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
If applicant has already filed an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal. See TMEP §715.04(a).
If applicant has not filed an appeal and time remains in the six-month response period, applicant has the remainder of that time to (1) file another request for reconsideration that complies with and/or overcomes any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s), and/or (2) file a notice of appeal to the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(ii)(B). Filing a request for reconsideration does not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3); see TMEP §715.03(c).
