SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: September 23, 2019
The application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until submission of foreign registration or proof that foreign registration was renewed. Applicant is required to provide a copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin; the foreign registration must be valid when the U.S. registration issues. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01(a). Action on the application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof that the foreign registration was renewed. TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04. Applicant must also provide an English translation if the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii).
If the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed, applicant should promptly notify the trademark examining attorney. See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a). In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another filing basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable. TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
Refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) resolved and maintained and continued. The following requirement is withdrawn:
• Disclaimer—disclaimer of descriptive wording provided
• Multiple Class Application Requirements
See TMEP §713.02.
The following requirement is maintained and continued:
• Amendment to Identification of Goods and Services in International Classes 7 and 9. Select entries in International Class 9 are indefinite as they the references to computer software does not note if the software is downloadable or recorded and need further clarification of the function of the software. The entries requiring further clarification are "Computer application software for operating robots for personal and commercial use, namely, robots for cleaning homes and commercial buildings, and home networking for Internet of Things (IoT); Computer application software for operating systems for robots"; "Recorded computer applications software for smart phones and smart watches for use with connected robots"; "Chatbot software platforms for use in instant messaging"; "Interactive software based on artificial intelligence for connecting, operating and managing networked home and kitchen appliances in the internet of things (IoT)”; "Personal assistant software using artificial intelligence for use in voice recognition, natural language processing, searching the internet for traffic and weather information”. Further, the wording "Robot power suits, namely, robotic, artificial exoskeleton suits worn by humans for the purpose of enhancing the strength and endurance of the person wearing the suit" is indefinite and too broad, with the goods being more properly classified in International Class 7.
See id. This requirement will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
Suspension process. The USPTO will periodically check this application to determine if it should remain suspended. See TMEP §716.04. As needed, the trademark examining attorney will issue a letter to applicant to inquire about the status of the reason for the suspension. TMEP §716.05.
No response required. Applicant may file a response, but is not required to do so.
