Dear Mr. Paris,

 

I am the examining attorney with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, handling your trademark application for the mark IONOSITE in Serial No. TM APPLICATION SERIAL NO. 88342110.  In this case, the identification of goods contains parentheses. Generally, applicants should not use parentheses and brackets in identifications in their applications so as to avoid confusion with the USPTO’s practice of using parentheses and brackets in registrations to indicate goods that have been deleted from registrations or in an affidavit of incontestability to indicate goods not claimed.  See TMEP §1402.12.  The only exception is that parenthetical information is permitted in identifications in an application if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in such a way that it does not affect the clarity or scope of the identification, e.g., “fried tofu pieces (abura-age).”  Id.  Such is not the case here. Therefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification and incorporate any parenthetical or bracketed information into the description of the goods.

 

Applicant may for example adopt the following:

 

Class 5: Pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of musculo-skeletal disorders; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of rheumatoid arthritis; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of digital arthritis; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of deep tissue musculoskeletal ailments; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of inflammation; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of tendonitis; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment and prevention of tendon and muscle injuries and disorders (as well as prevention); Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of sports related injuries; Therapeutic pharmaceutical for the treatment of knee cartilage regeneration

 

If you are amenable to these changes, I would be happy to enter them for you by examiner’s amendment. Please advise at your earliest convenience how you wish to proceed.

 

Thank you, and best regards,
