NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: September 14, 2020
This action responds to applicant’s communication dated August 20, 2020.
Upon further consideration, the prior pending application and Section 2(d) refusals are withdrawn.
The applicant’s identification of goods and services is acceptable in-part. Upon further review, the examining attorney identified services suggested by the examiner in Class 36 that are properly classified in Class 42. This is a new issue and therefore a non-final action.
If the applicant does not wish to add Class 42, this issue may be resolved by Examiner’s Amendment.
Classification of Services clarification required – Class 36 only
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.
The applicant may adopt the following, if accurate:
Class 9: acceptable as written
Class 35: acceptable as written
Class 36: (removed non-downloadable software)
Financial forecasting; Financial analysis; Financial data analysis; Financial analysis, namely, compiling and analyzing statistics, data and other sources of information for financial purposes; Financial services, namely, providing financial analyses, financial data analytics, financial industry data analysis, investment risk assessment; Providing advanced financial analytics for others, namely, providing analytics-based financial information; Providing online information in the fields of investment management, financial risk management, and financial advisory services; Financial research and analysis services, namely, development and implementation of robust modeling and data analytic frameworks
Class 42:
Providing a website featuring on-line non-downloadable software for providing information about investment management, financial risk management, and financial advisory services;
The application identifies goods and/or services in more than one international class; therefore, applicant must satisfy all the requirements below for each international class based on Trademark Act Section 1(b):
(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 four (4) classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only three (3) 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 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
For an overview of the requirements for a Section 1(b) multiple-class application and how to satisfy the requirements online using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) form, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
Partial Abandonment Advisory
If applicant does not respond to this Office action within the six-month period for response, the following goods and/or services in International Class 36 will be deleted from the application: “providing a website featuring on-line non-downloadable software for providing information about investment management, financial risk management, and financial advisory services.”
The application will then proceed with the remaining goods and/or services in International Classes 9, 35 and 36 only. See 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a)-(a)(1); TMEP §718.02(a).
