IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES
The identification of services in International Classes 037 and 044 are acceptable as written.
However, applicant must clarify some of the wording in the identification of services in International Class 045 because it is indefinite. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03. This wording is indefinite because it does not make clear the exact nature of the services.
Applicant should note that any wording in bold, in italics, underlined and/or in ALL CAPS below offers guidance and/or shows
the changes being proposed for the identification of goods and/or services. If there is wording in the applicant’s version of the identification of goods and/or
services which should be removed, it will be shown with a double line through it such as this: strikethrough. When making its amendments, applicant should enter them in standard font, not in bold, in italics, underlined and/or in ALL
CAPS.
Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
International Class 037: Installation, maintenance, and repair of security systems for homes and businesses; installation, maintenance, and repair of fire detection and monitoring systems for businesses; installation, maintenance, and repair of facility access control systems for businesses
