Subject: Re Trademark Application for PEC, #88255153, Docket ESX-T078
Dear Julian
I am also the trademark examining attorney for the PEC trademark application.
First, please indicate for the record whether PEC has any industry meaning, as a word, abbreviation, acronym or other form (for example, does it stand for “pre-existing condition,” “patient evaluation center,” or another term or phrase)?
In addition, this application has similar ID issues to the ones discussed below. I propose the following amended descriptions:
Class 10: Medical diagnostic apparatus for testing cells, tissue, biomolecules, proteins, small molecules, and nucleotides; Medical devices for obtaining bodily fluid samples; Medical diagnostic instruments for the analysis of bodily fluids; Medical apparatus for diagnostic use,
including, namely, medical apparatus for diagnostic testing of health conditions, diseases, or abnormalities, namely,in the fields of cancer, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases, genetic diseases, and endocrine diseases, and other tissue-based diagnostic testing, cytology, and cell based testing; Medical apparatus, devices, and instruments for wellness testing, health condition testing, and healthcare testing, namely, point-of-care diagnostic devices, at-home diagnostic devices, and portable health monitoring devices that detect health conditions and diseases in the nature of cancers, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases and genetic diseases; Medical apparatus, devices, and instruments for the detection and identification of nucleic acids, namely, DNA and RNA in a sampleClass 44: Medical services; Medical assistance; Medical consultations; Medical counseling; Medical information; Healthcare services in the field of (specify type of service, e.g., mobile healthcare services); diagnostic services, namely, medical testing for diagnostic purposes; Wellness services, namely, (specify type, e.g., providing mental health and wellness information); Medical services, medical assistance, medical consultations, medical counseling, medical information, healthcare testing, diagnostic testing, and wellness services

Thank you for your prompt reply. Do you think you can get an answer by next Wednesday or Thursday?
I also have several other sister applications, so if it is ok with you, I’ll send similar emails on the ones we can resolve by examiner’s amendment. If the ID issues are the same in all or most of them, then that can be a heads up that more will need to be amended in a similar fashion.

Dear Mr. Gonzalez
I am the trademark examining attorney to whom these applications have been assigned. There are minor issues concerning the description of goods/services and disclaimers that we can resolve by examiner’s amendment, based on your reply to this email or a phone call. If you prefer that I issue written priority Office actions, then please let me know.
For both applications, the applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording. For 88251121, the disclaimer should read as:
n No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “INSTANT MOBILE HEALTH SELF-TEST” apart from the mark as shown.
Please note that the applicant has disclaimed "MOBILE SELF TEST" in its earlier application Serial No. 87155012. The word INSTANT immediately tells consumers that the associated tests can produce results in a very short time.
For 88249835, the disclaimer should read as:
n No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “LAB TEST” apart from the mark as shown.
Second, the applicant must amend the description of goods/services in these applications.
For both applications, I propose the following amendments to Classes 10 and 44:
Class 10: Medical diagnostic apparatus for testing cells, tissue, biomolecules, proteins, small molecules, and nucleotides; Medical devices for obtaining bodily fluid samples; Medical diagnostic instruments for the analysis of bodily fluids; Medical apparatus for diagnostic use,
including, namely, medical apparatus for diagnostic testing of health conditions, diseases, or abnormalities, namely,in the fields of cancer, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases, genetic diseases, and endocrine diseases, and other tissue-based diagnostic testing, cytology, and cell based testing; Medical apparatus, devices, and instruments for wellness testing, health condition testing, and healthcare testing, namely, point-of-care diagnostic devices, at-home diagnostic devices, and portable health monitoring devices that detect health conditions and diseases in the nature of cancers, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases and genetic diseases; Medical apparatus, devices, and instruments for the detection and identification of nucleic acids, namely, DNA and RNA in a sample
Class 44: Medical services; Medical assistance; Medical consultations; Medical counseling; Medical information; Healthcare services in the field of (specify type of service, e.g., mobile healthcare services); diagnostic services, namely, medical testing for diagnostic purposes; Wellness services, namely, (specify type, e.g., providing mental health and wellness information); Medical services, medical assistance, medical consultations, medical counseling, medical information, healthcare testing, diagnostic testing, and wellness services
, namely, all in the fields of cancer, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases, genetic diseases, and other tissue-based diagnostic testing, cytology, and cell-based testing; Medical testing services for the detection and identification of cells, proteins, small molecules, and nucleic acids in a sample
For 88249835 (LAB TEST AT FINGER TIPS), the applicant must also amend Classes 1 as follows, if accurate:
Class 1: Assays for research purposes; Biological and chemical reagents used for non-medical purposes, in vitro and in vivo scientific use, the testing of bodily fluids, and the detecting and analyzing of cells, proteins, small molecules, and nucleotides; Biological and chemical test kits for (indicate purpose of the kit, e.g., for laboratory or research use) in the field of personal wellness; Biological and chemical test kits for laboratory or research use for the detection and identification of nucleic acids, namely, DNA and RNA in a sample
Class 5: no changes required -- Medical diagnostic reagents and assays for testing of body fluids; Medical diagnostic reagents and assays for testing cells, proteins, small molecules, nucleotides, and nucleic acids; Medical diagnostic reagents; Diagnostic kits comprised of medical diagnostic reagents and assays for testing of bodily fluids for use in disease detection, namely, cancers, blood abnormalities, immune diseases, neurological diseases, cardiovascular diseases, infectious diseases, viral diseases, and genetic diseases; Diagnostic biomarker reagents for medical purposes
Once we have agreed upon changes, I will enter them, along with the disclaimers, via examiner’s amendment and move the applications forward. Please tell me how you want to proceed, or if you have questions. Thank you.
