SUMMARY OF ISSUES
(1) Amendment of Mark Description Required
(2) Amendment of Identification of Services Required
AMENDMENT OF MARK DESCRIPTION REQUIRED
The following description is suggested, if accurate:
The mark consists of the stylized wording “ENZOIC”. Three incomplete concentric circles form the letter “O”. The wording appears between two parts of a circle divided in the middle. That divided circle consists of shaded and unshaded concentric circles. Some of the concentric circles are complete, and some of them are incomplete.
AMENDMENT OF IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES REQUIRED
The identification of services in International Class 42 must be clarified because the wording “Computer security services, namely, detection, monitoring and prevention of computer security risks, cyber attack, and privacy risks” is indefinite. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. It is indefinite because the nature of the services is unclear. Applicant must specify the common commercial name for the services, such as monitoring of computer systems for detecting unauthorized access or data breach. Applicant must also specify the type of privacy risks, such as computer privacy risks.
Specific guidance for all requirements has been provided below.
Applicant may adopt the following wording, if accurate:
Class 42 Internet security consultancy; Data security consultancy; Computer security consultancy; Computer security threat analysis for protecting data; Computer security services, namely, detection, monitoring and prevention of computer security risks, cyberattack, and {specify type of privacy risks, e.g., computer} privacy risks in the nature of {specify common commercial name for the services, e.g., monitoring of computer systems for detecting unauthorized access or data breach}
Stylized wording indicates changes.
These suggestions are merely illustrative, not exhaustive of all the types of services and proper classifications thereof which applicant might have intended to identify. These suggestions are based upon the examining attorney’s review of the application and determination of some of the services applicant is most likely to offer. If applicant intended to identify services other than those suggested above, applicant must so specify and classify these services accordingly.
