EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT

 

 

Issue date:  August 16, 2019

 

In a previous Office action dated July 29, 2019, the trademark examining attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark based on the following:  Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1) as merely descriptive of applicant’s services.  In addition, applicant was required to satisfy the following requirement:  amend the identification of services.

 

Based on applicant’s response, the Section 2(e)(1) refusal has been obviated by applicant’s amendment to the Supplemental Register.  See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04. 

 

Application has been amended as shown below.  As agreed to by Jordan A. LaVine on August 16, 2019, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below. 

 

IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES AMENDED

 

The identification of services is amended to read as follows (amendment in bold): 

 

Class 41: Educational and entertainment services, namely, conducting conferences, workshops, panel discussions, seminars and classes in  the field of creating, producing, and recording music in the television and movie industries and the distribution of course material therewith

 

See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(e).

 

Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections.  TMEP §707.  Otherwise, no response is required.  Id.  In addition, applicant is advised that amendments to the services are permitted only if they clarify or limit them; amendments that add to or broaden the scope of the services are not permitted.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(a).

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

 

 

 

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·       Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

 

·       Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

 

·       Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
