Good morning Sarah,

 

You’re welcome.  I will need to go ahead and send you Priority Actions today, but you can feel free to reach back out to me once your client gets back to you and we can amend the IDs via Examiner’s Amendments at that time.  Thanks and have a nice week!

 

Adetayo

Hi Adetayo,

 

Thank you for your email. I will need to review this with my client, so I am not sure how quickly I can get back to you.  I hope to do so next week. I know you have an internal deadline to meet, so if you run into that, please send a Priority Action.  But I hope to get back to you sooner then that.

 

Thanks for sending this in email

Best regards,

Sarah

Hello Sarah,

 

My name is Adetayo and I'm the attorney handling your applications for the marks VETTEC (SN: 90005244) & VETTEC ANIMAL HEALTH (SN: 90005254).  I just called and left you a voice message but wanted to follow up with this email to let you know that I've finished examining the applications and there are a few issues with the IDs that need to be resolved before I can move the applications along.  Therefore, my proposed IDs are below with my amendments in bold/highlight/italics:

 

VETTEC (SN: 90005244)

 

• “Horseshoe adhesive; polymer adhesive for repair and cushioning of horse hooves; adhesive for adhering blocks to hooves of bovines; composition for forming hardened insert in the cavity in a hoof to an elevation flush with a horseshoe, namely, _____ {specify nature of composition/chemical in class 001}” in International Class 001.

 

• “Veterinary preparations for the treatment of animal hooves; veterinary preparations in the nature of equine hoof care products, namely, a polymer adhesive for creating hoof extensions for foals; veterinary preparations, namely, synthetic curable liquid elastamer for forming protective layer on equine hooves for curative and therapeutic purposes; [RE-CLASSIFIED “horseshoe adhesive; polymer adhesive for repair and cushioning of horse hooves; adhesive for adhering blocks to hooves of bovines;” as these goods are misclassified and belong in class 001] [RE-CLASSIFIED “composition for forming hardened insert in the cavity in a hoof to an elevation flush with a horseshoe;” as these goods are misclassified, likely belong in class 001, and require further clarification] veterinary preparations for horses, namely, urethane polymers for treatment of horse hoof wall cracks” in International Class 005.

 

• “Manually-operated adhesive dispensing guns and nozzles for [DELETED “same” as this wording does not make sense here since there is nothing within this class to refer it to] _____ {specify purpose in class 008}” in International Class 008.

 

• “Manually-operated adhesive dispensing guns and nozzles for _____ {specify purpose in class 010, e.g., horses for physical therapy purposes}” in International Class 010.

 

• “Manually-operated adhesive dispensing guns and nozzles for _____ {specify purpose in class 028, e.g., horses for physical fitness purposes}” in International Class 028. 

VETTEC ANIMAL HEALTH (SN: 90005254)

 

Same exact ID issues/suggestions, except the first clause in class 005, per your application, reads “veterinary preparations for the treatment of horses' hooves”.

 

Based on the applications and my research, I propose the following amended ID for the applications, if you wish to stay in 2 classes (with “animal” in that first clause in class 005 in VETTEC and “horses’” in VETTEC ANIMAL HEALTH):

 

• “Veterinary preparations for the treatment of animal hooves; veterinary preparations in the nature of equine hoof care products, namely, a polymer adhesive for creating hoof extensions for foals; veterinary preparations, namely, synthetic curable liquid elastamer for forming protective layer on equine hooves for curative and therapeutic purposes; veterinary preparations for horses, namely, urethane polymers for treatment of horse hoof wall cracks” in International Class 005.

 

• “Manually-operated adhesive dispensing guns and nozzles for horses for physical therapy purposes” in International Class 010.

If you would like to adopt my 2-class proposal above, please let me know and I will take care of everything on my end via Examiner’s Amendments and then move the applications forward.  If however you wish to add additional class(es) to the application (per the multi-class suggestion based on the ID as filed), I can also still amend the applications for you via Examiner’s Amendments, but then will also need to send you Priority Actions to pay for the additional class(es).  However, if I do not hear back from you within 24 hours, then I will issue Office Actions.  If you think you need longer than 24 hours, please kindly respond letting me know as such.

 

Thanks for your time and I hope to hear back from you soon!
