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: January 03, 2021
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on December 2, 2020. In the aforementioned communication, the applicant amended the identification. However, based on this amendment, additional amendment to the identification and classification is required as set forth below.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES
IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS
The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes. See TMEP §1402.01 §1402.03. In addition, some of the goods appear to be misclassified as set forth below.
Applicant should note that the wording in bold ALL CAPS below shows the changes being proposed for the identification of goods. Items with a strike through are to be deleted (e.g., toilet). When making its amendments, applicant should enter
them in standard font, not bold ALL CAPS or with a strike through.
Applicant may adopt the following identification and classification of goods, if accurate:
International Class 005: Pharmaceutical preparations FOR _____ [specify purpose e.g., skin care]; disinfectants; pharmaceutical preparations, namely, antiviral coatings and sprays; medicinal preparations, namely, medicinal sprays and gels to apply to the face for the treatment of allergies and respiratory conditions
International Class 009: PROTCETIVE MASKS, NAMELY,ANTI-POLLUTION MASKS, NOT FOR MEDICAL PURPOSES Anti-pollution masks, not for medical purposes, namely, protective face masks to block for protection against pollen and pollution particles pollutants
International Class 010: SANITARY MASKS FOR POLLEN ISOLATION PURPOSES
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.
MULTIPLE CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS
(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 3 classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient for only 2 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.
