Subject: POTENTIAL EXAMINER'S AMENDMENT, Trademark Application 88242271, DAMDA - Identification of Goods and Entity Clarification
Good Afternoon,
I am the examining attorney in the above referenced trademark applications. In review of this application, there are issues that require resolution before the application can be moved forward.
Specifically, the identification of goods requires amendment due to being indefinite, and should also use semi-colons instead of commas to separate each clause.
The following wording is proposed and may be adopted, if accurate (Examining Attorney’s suggestions in bold font):
Class 009: Accessories for cellphones, namely, battery chargers, data cables, USB cables, and headphones; smartphone accessories, namely, battery chargers, data cables, USB cables, smartphone mounts, and headphones; cases for USB Cards; cases for memory cards; cases for SIM cards; cases for USIM chips; cases for smartphones with gender-based designs; cases for smartphones
Class 018: Purses; card wallets; wrist or ankle mounted wallets; change purses; multi-purpose purses; business card holders in the nature of leather wallets; ticket wallets; leather bags and wallets; leather purses; purses and wallets of precious metal; small purses; long wallets; billfolds; wrist mounted purses; small clutch purses; enamel purse; necklace purses, namely, a purse attached to a chain carried around the neck
In addition, the entity type requires clarification. Applicant’s business name includes the foreign business designation “Ltd.”; however, applicant set forth “Corporation” as the legal entity in the application. This business designation is generally considered the equivalent of a “Limited Company” or “Limited Liability Company”. See TMEP app. D. Please clarify whether applicant is a Corporation, as indicated in the entity type, or a “Limited Liability Company”, as indicated in the applicant’s business name. If applicant’s entity is a Corporation, please provide the correct business name to correspond with this designation or provide an explanation as to why applicant’s business type is more like a Corporation than a “Limited Company” or “Limited Liability Company”.
Upon your authorization, I would be happy to issue an Examiner’s Amendment to expedite processing of these applications. Please respond by Tuesday, March 19, 2019 to avoid an Office action. If you have any questions, feel free to email me or call at (571) 272-3352. I look forward to your response.
Sincerely,
Laura Taraban
