Ms. Thomas-Riggs,
I am out of the office until the 18th. Spotty cell service.
I'll try to get hold of the client to confirm a cavesson is part of the lunge kit.
Hopefully I'll have an answer later today.
Thanks

Dear Sir,
I am the examining attorney assigned to the above-referenced application. I left you a message by telephone earlier today.
The Office has received applicant’s response dated January 30, 2020. However, there is still an issue with the identification of goods in Class 18, which we may be able to resolve via Examiner’s Amendment before moving the application forward. Specifically, the wording “blankets” must be clarified because it is too broad and could identify goods in other international classes. For instance, fire blankets are classified in Class 9, blankets for medical purposes are classified in Class 10, horse blankets and saddle blankets are classified in Class 18, bed blankets and baby blankets are classified in Class 24, yoga and meditation blankets are classified in Class 28. Further, the components of the lunge kit must be clarified by deleting the comma appearing before “and cavesson” – to make clear that this item is also part of the kit, and not a separate item added to the identification of goods for the first time.
The following amended identification in Class 18 is suggested, if accurate:
Class 018: Equine equipment in the nature of bridles, halters, bits, girths, breastplates, reins, head bumpers as horse clothing, browband, stirrups, saddle covers, saddle pads, saddles, training surcingle, bit loops, muzzle, martingale, body slicker as horse clothing, hoods as horse clothing, fly fringes in the nature of horse fly veils, riding crops, bats in the nature of whips, horse blankets, lunge kit comprised of side reins, lunge lines and cavesson, surcingle, and headpieces as horse clothing
With your authorization to do so, I can amend the identification of goods via Examiner’s Amendment. Please call or respond by email letting me know if the above identification of goods is acceptable.
I would appreciate a response by TUESDAY, FEBRUARY 11, as I have an internal deadline to meet. If I do not hear from you by then, I will move forward with a Final Office Action formalizing the above issue. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact me.
Best regards,
/Leslie Ann Thomas-Riggs/
