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).
However, please note the following:
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS REQUIRES CLARIFICATION
The goods are currently described as:
Printed matter, namely, children's books, religious books, coloring books, workbooks and learning systems in Class 16
The wording “learning systems” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because applicant has not specified the common commercial name of the goods comprising the system.
The wording “workbooks” is also indefinite because applicant has not specified the subject matter of the workbooks.
See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial name of the primary goods comprising the system and the subject matter of its workbooks. If there is no common commercial name, applicant must describe the product and its intended uses.
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 substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Printed matter, namely, children's books, religious books, coloring books, workbooks in the field of science and learning systems comprised primarily of workbooks and flashcards in the field of science Class 16
