Hi Ms. Blyth,

 

I put together potential language for the amended identification, which is outlined below.  I wanted to make sure that language is acceptable before issuing an Examiner’s Amendment.  Also, I will be required to obtain your bar information (bar number, State, and year of admission) and an attestation of good standing.  I should also note, if you choose to respond by email, all relevant email communications must be placed in the official application record, which would include your bar information.

 

Class 36:  “Financial services, namely, the provision of credit and debit cards in the nature of charge card and credit card payment processing services, credit card authorization services, credit card factoring services, credit card payment processing services, funding online cash accounts from prepaid cash cards and credit card accounts, and payment processing services, namely, credit card and debit card transaction processing services.”

 

Thanks, Ms. Blyth!

Hi Ms. Blyth,

 

Again, thanks for your patience on this case!  The only issue concerns the identified services in International Class 36.  Below, I have recounted the original identification and the amended identification.  The potential suggestions are provided at the end with bolded wording showing changes.  I tried to list all the choices directly from the ID Manual.  Everything in Class 35 is fine and requires no changes.

 

Original Class 36:  Financial services; provision of credit and debit cards, provision of credit and loan facilities.

 

Amended Class 36:  Financial services, namely, the provision of credit and debit cards; provision of credit and loan services.

 

Suggested Class 36:  Financial services, namely, the provision of credit and debit cards in the nature of _____ [Payment processing services, namely, credit card and debit card transaction processing services; Charge card and credit card payment processing services; Credit card authorization services; Credit card factoring services; Credit card payment processing services; Payment processing services, namely, credit card and debit card transaction processing services; Financial services, namely, funding online cash accounts from prepaid cash cards and credit card accounts];  provision of credit and loan services

 

Thanks, Ms. Blyth!  Have a great week!
