For the applicant’s convenience, the trademark examining attorney suggests an amendment of applicant’s identification of goods and/or services that complies with the above-mentioned clarification requirements, with any material additions and deletions highlighted in bold and italicized type. Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
