This email is intended for Ben Natter, as counsel for FLUID ENERGY GROUP LTD., or any other authorized party. In reference to the following Trademark Application:

United States Trademark Application Serial No. 88230657

Good morning,

I am the examining attorney assigned to the above-referenced file.  I have reviewed the applicant’s response to Office action filed September 13, 2019 and there is still 1 issue preventing the application from being approved, but with your authorization, this issue can be resolved by email. 

Specifically, the wording “Synthetic replacement for chemicals for hydraulic fracturing” is still indefinite and must further specify the nature of the chemicals being replaced. The following amendments are suggested and may be substituted if accurate:

 

Class 1:          Synthetic replacement for chemicals in the nature of {specify type of chemicals replaced, i.e. “hydrochloric acid, phosphoric acid, hydrofluoric acid, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and formic acids” } used for hydraulic fracturing

 

With your authorization, I would be happy to enter the suggested change through an examiner’s amendment for you today so that the application may proceed. If you would like for me to make the suggested changes, please reply to this email with “OK”  by 5PM EST Tuesday October 29, 2019. If you do not respond by the above mentioned date, a Final Office action will be issued for the requirement noted above.

 

Please let me know by phone or email if you have any questions about the application. Thank you so much for your prompt cooperation!

Best regards,

 

Melanie Singer
