Hi Jim,

 

Totally agreed. I've tried several times to get in touch with the client but surprisingly to no avail so far. I understand if you need to issue the final action tomorrow.

 

Thanks for all your patience thus far.

 

all the best,

Michael

Hi Michael,

 

Just checking in again.  My deadline is Friday.  Would love to handle this via examiner’s amendment if possible since it’s such a minor change.

Hi Jim,

 

Understand if you need to issue a final OA but for what it's worth I am trying to get in touch with my client. I am hoping to confirm this with her very soon. I think she's been especially busy given the current climate.

 

Thanks for your patience and updates so far.

 

all the best,

Michael

Hi Jim,

 

Thanks so much for your patience. I should be able to confirm with my client tomorrow. It should be fine, but I of course need to get a final greenlight from them. Can we have another 24 hours?

 

all the best,

Michael

Hi Michael,

 

Can you let me know whether these changes below are acceptable?  I’d hate to have to do a final refusal over a simple ID amendment.

 

Regards,

Jim Griffin

Importance: High

 

Hi Michael,

 

I got your response for this application.  In general it’s fine, and I’ll withdraw the 2(d) refusals based on the deletion of Class 35.  All that remains are a couple minor ID issues.  First, in Class 41, we need to remove the parentheses and incorporation the parenthetical matter into the ID.  That’s just an Office formatting requirement.  So I’d suggest:

 

Educational services, namely, providing on-line instruction and peer learning in the field of software development; Educational services, namely, providing on-line instruction and peer learning for professional service providers, for example, teachers, designers, and engineers, for certification in the field of software development

 

Second, in Class 42, I note that you’ve added the wording “Providing temporary use of a web-based software application for providing remote job listings.”  We need to delete that wording since it’s beyond the scope of any of the wording the in the recitation of services as filed.  You can’t add any goods or services to the ID after the application has been filed.  You can only delete things or limit them in some way.  So that wording has to go.

 

If these two changes are acceptable, I can enter them for you via an examiner’s amendment and get this application approved.  Please let me know.

 

Regards,

Jim Griffin
