Subject: [External] U.S. Trademark App. No. 88579864 - Informal Inquiry

 

Hello,

 

I am currently examining the trademark application for the mark EMBARC BENEFIT PROTECTION.  No conflicting marks were found.  However, before the mark can proceed to publication a few items need to be addressed.

 

1.      The descriptive wording BENEFIT PROTECTION needs to be disclaimed.

2.      The ID needs to be amended as indicated in bold below to comply with office format.  I suggest the following if accurate:

 

Cost management for the healthcare, clinical and prescription drug benefit plans of others; medical cost management; business services, namely, prescription drug formulary cost management services; consulting services regarding healthcare and pharmacy cost management; healthcare utilization review services; organization and administration of networks of preferred healthcare providers, namely, arranging of managed care contractual services in the fields of health and medical services; cost management for the health care benefit plans of others; health care cost management services and healthcare utilization and review services; managed care services, namely, electronic processing of health care information, in International Class 35.

 

Pharmacy benefit management services; medical benefit management services; administration of pharmacy benefit plans concerning insurance and finance; organization and administration of networks of preferred healthcare provider plans; claims administration services in the field of health insurance; insurance administration in the field of health care; medical insurance case and utilization review and insurance claims adjustment services; administration of managed health care plans; insurance services, namely, administration of healthcare benefit insurance plans; organization and administration of networks of preferred healthcare provider; [delete duplicate]; medical and pharmacy benefit management services, namely, tracking, monitoring, assessing and analyzing information and statistics regarding patient prescription drug use, medical care, and healthcare habits, to identify potential cost savings and clinical benefits; underwriting and administration of health care benefit plans, in International Class 36.

 

I can make these changes through examiner’s amendment and then approve the mark for publication.  Promptly let me know if this is acceptable.

 

Sincerely,

 

Tarah Hardy Ludlow
