Issue date: October 02, 2019
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES REQUIREMENT
The wording “Security services for the physical protection of tangible property and individuals; providing an on-line electronic database on global computer networks in the field of emergency response” in the identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified because applicant must specify the type of security services and/or the intended recipients of the services. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Class 42: providing security information related to data security emergencies; providing security information related to data security and the use of corresponding services by customers; providing security information related to data security and the provision of corresponding services by service providers such as police, fire brigade and civil protection
Class 45: Security guard services in the nature of the physical protection of tangible property and individuals; providing consultation and information in the field of emergency response for communities; monitoring of telephone calls from subscribers and providing information to emergency facilities, namely, notifying emergency responders when appropriate; monitoring telephone calls from subscribers and notifying emergency responders when appropriate, namely, providing private information and communicating critical emergency information about subscribers to public safety agencies, responding field units, and notifying designated persons identified by subscribers; providing an on-line electronic database on global computer networks in the field of emergency response for communities; processing of emergency and non- emergency calls, namely, monitoring telephone calls from subscribers and notifying emergency responders when appropriate; emergency response alarm monitoring services, namely, monitoring of alert devices by a remote monitoring center for the dispatch of emergency public health and security services and notification to third parties; providing information in the field of security regulatory compliance, namely, subscription based regulatory compliance service for providing security alarm companies with information, namely, ordinances, policies and code requirements, that define legal requirements and actions for establishing and maintaining prescribed security practices within a specific jurisdiction; information, consultancy and advisory services relating to all the aforesaid services

MULTIPLE-CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
(1) List the goods and/or services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.
(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee(s) already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule). The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least 2 classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only 1 class(es). Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
