Issue date: October 02, 2019
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.
Summary of Issues
Applicant must respond timely and completely to the following issues:
1. Clarification of Identification and Classification of Goods and Services Required
15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Search Results
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).
1. Clarification of Identification and Classification of Goods and Services Required
Sample Amended Identification
A sample amended identification is set forth below, which applicant may adopt, if accurate to describe applicant’s goods and/or services. Wording in italic type represents items in the identification that require clarification. Bold italic type indicates changes to applicant’s original identification. Strikethrough marking indicates wording that must be deleted. Wording in [brackets] following a
fill in the blank provides guidance and examples of acceptable amendments. For example, if the original identification is “clothing,” and the
suggestion is “clothing, namely, ____ [specify items in this class, e.g., shirts, pants and coats]”, applicant may amend the identification to “clothing,
namely, shirts, pants and coats” in the response to the office action.
International Class 9: Downloadable cloud-based software for collaborating, creating, customizing, editing, manipulating, storing, accessing, and managing electronic documents and spreadsheets with image, video, text, and graphic functionality; computer software, ____ [specify format in this class, e.g., downloadable] for mobile phones for collaborating, creating, customizing, editing, manipulating, storing, accessing, and managing electronic documents and spreadsheets with image, video, text, and graphic; ____ [specify format in this class, e.g., recorded] software application and software development tools; downloadable software for document and application development
International Class 42: providing temporary use of online, non-downloadable computer software for mobile phones for collaborating, creating, customizing, editing, manipulating, storing, accessing, and managing electronic documents and spreadsheets with image, video, text, and graphic; providing temporary use of online, non-downloadable application and software development tools
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.
Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Generally, any deleted goods and/or services may not later be reinserted. See TMEP §1402.07(e).
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 two classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only one 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.
See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
