Dear Chinhwei Chen,

 

Thank you for providing an amended description of the mark.  After reviewing the application again, I realize there is an issue with the in the identification of services.

 

The wording “accessories” in the identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified because the nature of the accessories are not clear.  Applicant may adopt wording, such as accessories for clothing See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. 

 

Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate: 

 

International Class 35:  Advertising and publicity services; Computerized on-line ordering featuring general consumer merchandise; Demonstration of goods; Distribution and dissemination of advertising materials; On-line advertising on a computer network; On-line retail department store services; On-line retail store services featuring a wide variety of consumer goods of others; On-line retail store services featuring consumer electronics goods, phones, computer hardware, e-readers, tablets, phones, set-top boxes, cameras, home automation products, appliances, office supplies, automotive and motorcycle supplies, watches, jewelry, accessories for {specify, e.g., clothing}, clothing, shoes, bags, games, toys, sporting goods, outdoors goods, tools, home and garden supplies, baby goods, kids goods, electronic cigarettes, beauty and health supplies, groceries, pet supplies, art, art and craft supplies, home furnishings, bedding and bath supplies, lighting fixtures, kitchen and bath fixtures; Providing an on-line commercial information directory on the internet; Provision of an on-line marketplace for buyers and sellers of goods and services; Retail and on-line grocery store services featuring home delivery service; Sales promotion for others

 

Please note that International Classes 7, 9, and 28 are acceptable as written.

 

Once the applicant provides a definite identification of services, I can make the change through an Examiner’s Amendment and add the amended description of the mark.  Please note that applicant can provide authorization via email, telephone, or online.   If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me via telephone (571) 272-5409 or email lashawnda.elliott@uspto.gov

Dear Attorney Advisor,

 

Thanks for your email. As to the color issue specified therein, please be advised that color is NOT a feature of the mark. Therefore, we would like to amend the description of the mark as suggested, that is:

 

The mark consists of the stylized wording “GEARBEST” with a device on the left.  The device appears to be a rounded square with a curved band design inside.

 

We appreciate your prompt assistance in this Application. Please let us know should there be any other issues afterwards.

 

 

Best regards,

Dear Chinhwei Chen,

 

I reviewed the mark GEARBEST, 88236312, and there is an issue with the description of the mark.

 

Applicant must clarify whether color is being claimed as a feature of the mark.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1), 2.61(b); TMEP §§807.07(a) et seq.  Applicant submitted a black-and-white drawing of the mark; however, the description of the mark references black and white.  The mark in the drawing and in the description must match.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); TMEP §§807.07 et seq.

 

To clarify whether color is claimed as a feature of the mark, applicant may satisfy one of the following:

 

(1)        If color is not a feature of the mark, applicant must submit an amended description of the mark that omits any reference of color.  See TMEP §§807.07(a)(ii), 808.02.  The following is suggested, if accurate: 

 

The mark consists of the stylized wording “GEARBEST” with a device on the left.  The device appears to be a rounded square with a curved band design inside.

 

(2)        If color is a feature of the mark, applicant must submit a (a) list all the colors that are a feature of the mark, and (b) amend the description, if appropriate, to specify where all the colors appear in the literal and design elements of the mark.  37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); see TMEP §807.07(a)-(a)(ii).  Generic color names must be used to describe the colors in the mark, e.g., red, yellow, blue.  TMEP §807.07(a)(i)-(ii).  If black, white, and/or gray represent background, outlining, shading, and/or transparent areas and are not part of the mark, applicant must so specify in the description. See TMEP §807.07(d).  

 

The following color claim and description are suggested, if accurate:

 

Color claim:  The colors black and white are claimed as a feature of the mark.

 

Description:  The mark consists of the stylized wording “GEARBEST” in black with a device on the left.  The device appears to be a rounded square in black with a white curved band design inside.

 

Once the applicant provides an amended description of the mark, I can make the change through an Examiner’s Amendment.  Please note that applicant can provide authorization via email, telephone, or online.   If you have any questions, please feel free to reach me via telephone (571) 272-5409 or email lashawnda.elliott@uspto.gov. 

 

I would appreciate a response by close of business on Tuesday, March 19, 2019, as I have an internal deadline to meet.
