FINAL 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) and/or Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form and/or to ESTTA for an appeal appears at the end of this Office action.
Issue date: July 14, 2020
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on June 15, 2020.
The applicant’s amended Class 009 identification of goods has been entered.
However, the applicant must respond to the following FINAL requirement:
Identifications of Services – Clarification Required – Classes 036 and 042 - FINAL
The following are examples of acceptable identifications for information services: “providing comparison shopping information about automobiles by means of the Internet” is classified in International Class 35, “providing online information regarding financing and insuring an automobile” is classified in International Class 36, “providing an Internet website that features information about automotive maintenance and repair service” is classified in International Class 37, and “providing information in the field of nursing” is classified in International Class 44.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
“Providing a website featuring [insert clarification of “information in the field of commercial insurance, namely, researching and processing insurance policy information, compare policy coverage, generate premium rate quotes, file and manage claims, complete insurance transactions,” e.g., information in the field of commercial insurance claims auditing services], in International Class 035.”
“Providing a website featuring information in the field of [insert clarification of “commercial insurance, namely, researching and processing insurance policy information, compare policy coverage, generate premium rate quotes, file and manage claims, complete insurance transactions,” e.g., commercial insurance regarding insurance policy rates, policy coverage, premium rate quotes, insurance claim processing, and insurance claim transaction processing], in International Class 036.”
“Providing temporary use of on-line non-downloadable computer software, web applications, and computer software platforms for underwriting, issuance, and administration of commercial insurance, in International Class 042.”
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.
This requirement is made FINAL.
Additional Classes
The application identifies goods and services that are classified in at least four (4) classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only three (3) classes. In a multiple-class application, a fee for each class is required. 37 C.F.R. §2.86(a)(2), (b)(2); TMEP §§810.01, 1403.01. For more information about adding classes to an application, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
Therefore, applicant must either (1) restrict the application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid, or (2) submit the fees for each additional class.
The fee for adding classes to a TEAS Standard application is $275 per class. See 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(iii). For more information about adding classes to an application, see the Multiple-class Application webpage.
(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).
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.
