That works.  Can we make the same changes to both applications?

Justin, let me know if this wording would work and if it would be accurate.  If acceptable, I can do an

Examiner’s amendment for this.

 

In International Class 6 (acceptable):  “Anchors and anchor mounts for kayaks”

 

In International Class 12:  “Accessories specially adapted for kayaks, namely, paddles, paddle holders,

cup holders, phone holders, and fishing rod holders; kayak storage systems, namely storage containers,

trays, and crates specially adapted for mounting on kayaks; kayak motor mounts; fish location device

mounts specially adapted for kayaks; kayak transducer mounts”

Robert,

 

I think most of it looks great.  The only change I would have is that “storage containers, trays and crates

specially adapted for kayaks” would be accurate, but they aren’t for “storing” the kayak itself.  Not sure

if that make sense, but they are containers that fit various features of a kayak where you can store

equipment on the kayak.

 

Thoughts?

Hi Justin,

 

I’ve had the chance to review the Response relating to the application to register the YAKGADGET

trademark.  I’d like to propose some additional minor tweaks to the Class 12 identification to ensure

proper classification.  The following may be adopted, if accurate:

 

In International Class 6 (acceptable):  “Anchors and anchor mounts for kayaks”

 

In International Class 12:  “Accessories specially adapted for kayaks, namely, paddles, paddle holders,

cup holders, phone holders, and fishing rod holders; kayak storage systems, namely storage containers,

trays, and crates specially adapted for storing kayaks; kayak motor mounts; fish location device mounts

specially adapted for kayaks; kayak transducer mounts”

 

If the proposed changes are acceptable, kindly reply by email or phone indicating as such, on or before

the close of business on Monday, May 17, 2021, and the changes may be entered by examiner’s

amendment and the application approved for publication.  If you have any questions, please do not

hesitate to ask.

 

Sincerely,

 

/Robert Cohen/

Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).

 

 

 

GENERAL GUIDANCE

·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid missing critical deadlines.

 

·         Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.

 

·         Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application.  Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices – most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
