Dear Examiner Kon,

 

Our client advised us that “trading cards” should remain in class 16 and be amended to “collectible trading cards.”  Please issue an examiner’s amendment to this effect at your earliest convenience.

 

If you need anything further, please let me know.

 

Regards,

Kevin

Dear Mr. Horowitz

 

I approved this application for publication on 1/22/2020. The file was returned to me to correct one item in the description of goods.  I can make this correction via examiner’s amendment  based on your reply to this email or a phone call. 

 

The end of Class 16 includes “trading cards.”  The applicant must say the intended use for the trading cards to determine classification.  “Collectible trading cards,” “sports trading cards” and “trading cards other than for games” are in Class 16, while “trading cards for games,” and “trading card games”, are in Class 28.

 

The application includes Classes 16 and 28, so the applicant may amend “trading cards” to any or all of the above suggestions without incurring additional filing fees.  Please tell me how the applicant wishes to amend “trading cards.”

 

I apologize for any inconvenience in making this requirement now. Please let me know how you want to proceed or if you have questions. Thank you.
