Identification of Services – International Class 042
The wording “on-line non-downloadable computer software for assisting Web site owners in the operation and management of the Web sites on a global computer network, and on-line non-downloadable software for assisting users in accessing the resources and capabilities of a global computer network” is indefinite and requires the addition of a verb such as “providing” to clarify that such wording refers to Class 042 services.
Applicant may adopt the following wording, if accurate.
Providing on-line non-downloadable computer software for assisting Web site owners in the operation and management of the Web sites on a global computer network, and providing on-line non-downloadable software for assisting users in accessing the resources and capabilities of a global computer network; computer services, namely, providing digital certificates that authenticate the identity of Web sites and encrypt information sent to the server using cryptographic technology, such as Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and Transport Layer Security (TLS) in International Class 042.
