Subject: RE: 88268973 CLOUDDOT and 88268975 CLOUDDOT (with design) USPTO Application Amendment Request
Dear Ms. Detmer:
I apologize for my delayed response.
We approve your suggested amendments to the descriptions as set forth in your email below.
We also approve your charging our deposit account DA602444 for adding a class to each application.
Regarding your question about the meaning of “DOT” in relation to our client’s goods and services – Our client’s goods and services are not related to the DOT programming language and are not intended to cover the language or any other preexisting technologies or products that might be known by that name, if any exist. I hope that answers your question, but please do let me know if I have misunderstood what you are asking.
Thank you very much for your attention to these files and for your helpful suggestions, and again, please accept my apologies for responding late.
I hope you have a great weekend.
David

Subject: 88268973 CLOUDDOT and 88268975 CLOUDDOT (with design) USPTO Application Amendment Request
Dear Mr. Yang,
I am the trademark examining attorney handling the trademark applications for CLOUDDOT (88268973 and 88268975). In review, there are a couple issues that can be corrected via Examiner’s Amendment without the need for an office action.
First, I require an amended identification of the goods identified in International Class 009 because the come of wording is indefinite and must be clarified. Specifically, the suggested identification would read, with suggested changes underlined:
International Class 009: computer hardware and recorded software for interconnecting, managing, securing and operating local and wide area networks sold as a unit; downloadable software for interconnecting, managing, securing and operating local and wide area networks; wireless communications devices, namely, wireless hardware and recorded software for the transmission of voice, data, audio, and video; downloadable publications, namely, electronic instructional publications in the form of manuals, guides, test materials, and magazines in the fields of network communications, and managing, operating and using local, wide and global networks; Downloadable computer software used for building social networking platforms, namely,
for use in providingto provide online communications among usersandfor creatingwhich allows users to create customized on-line web pages featuring user-defined information, personal profiles, and information; wireless communication electronic devices for recording, organizing, transmitting, and reviewing voice, audio, video, and data files; consumer electronics, namely, computer data networking and telecommunications hardware and recorded software for the transmission of voice, data, audio, and video; computer hardware
International Class 042: software as a service (SAAS) services, namely, computer software for creating an online community for registered users to
social networking, namely, for use in providingengage in online communications among users, engage in social networking, andforcreatingcreate customized on-line web pages featuring user-defined information, personal profiles, and information
Please let me know if you would approve of my amending the identification as described. Please note that if applicant wishes to add one or more additional classes to the application, an additional fee of $275.00 per added class will be necessary. In that case, I will make any approved changes and issue a Priority action requiring payment of the fee. Any added class will remain inactive until the fee is paid, unless applicant specifies otherwise. Alternatively, if you or applicant has a deposit account with the USPTO, you can provide that account number and authorize the charges against that account.
Additionally, I see that DOT is programming language. I wanted to inquire if it has any other meaning in relation to your client’s goods/services. Thank you for your help!
If you have any questions, comments, or concerns please feel free to call or e-mail me using the information provided in my signature block below. Please respond no later than 3 PM EST on Friday, April 5, 2019. Thank you.
Best,
