REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
AFTER FINAL ACTION
DENIED
Issue date: December 11, 2019
The applicant’s mark was denied registration based on applicant’s goods, namely, “battery chargers” exceeding the scope of the originally-filed recitation of goods, namely, “battery system, namely, a lithium battery or batteries for use in forklift trucks.”
Applicant has maintained the same arguments as presented in the original Response to Office Action, namely, that applicant filed a preliminary amendment to add goods into the application within a short period of time (4 days), that applicant owns prior registrations which include the goods “battery chargers,” that batteries and battery chargers are related goods, and that applicant is using the mark on battery chargers. These arguments do not obviate the requirement that the scope of the identification of goods is determined upon filing of the application. Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.
Accordingly, the Requirement for a definite Identification of Goods made final in the Office action dated October 29, 2019 is maintained and continued.
See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
If applicant has already filed an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal. See TMEP §715.04(a).
If applicant has not filed an appeal and time remains in the six-month response period, applicant has the remainder of that time to (1) file another request for reconsideration that complies with and/or overcomes any outstanding final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s), and/or (2) file a notice of appeal to the Board. TMEP §715.03(a)(ii)(B). Filing a request for reconsideration does not stay or extend the time for filing an appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3); see TMEP §715.03(c).
