Subject: POTENTIAL EXAMINER'S AMENDMENT, Trademark Application 88297668 ARRIVAL - Identification of Services
Good Morning
I am the examining attorney in the above referenced trademark application. In review of this application, there is an issue that requires resolution before the application can be moved forward.
Specifically, the identification of services requires amendment due to potentially being overbroad and to avoid a likelihood of confusion with another registered mark.
The following wording is proposed and may be adopted, if accurate (Examining Attorney’s suggestions in bold font):
Class 041: Entertainment services in the nature of an on-going reality based professional wrestling television program rendered live and through broadcast media including television; Entertainment services, namely, an ongoing series of shows about professional wrestling broadcast over television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; entertainment services, namely, the production and exhibition of professional wrestling events rendered live and through broadcast media including television and radio, and via the internet or commercial online service; providing wrestling news and information via a global computer network; providing information in the fields of sports and professional wrestling entertainment via an online community portal; providing a website in the field of sports entertainment information; fan club services, namely, organizing sporting events in the field of wrestling for wrestling fan club members; organizing social entertainment events for entertainment purposes for wrestling fan club members; providing online newsletters in the fields of sports entertainment; online journals, namely, blogs, in the field of sports entertainment
Upon your authorization, I would be happy to issue an Examiner’s Amendment to expedite processing of the application. Please respond by Wednesday, April 3, 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.
Thank you,
