The examining attorney respectfully advises applicant that this Office Action contains the following requirement(s) summarized immediately below and further explained within the body of this Office Action.
SUMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it lacks specificity. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial or generic name of the goods. See TMEP §1402.01. If the goods have no common commercial or generic name, applicant must describe the product, its main purpose, and its intended uses. See id.
Applicant may adopt the following wording, if accurate:
Class 9: Integrated circuits, namely, graphics, video and multimedia integrated circuits;
integrated circuit chip sets; cards containing integrated circuits; integrated circuit chips; semiconductor devices; semiconductor chips; semiconductors; chipsets; computer hardware; microprocessors;
microprocessor subsystems comprised of one or more microprocessors, central processing unit (CPU), CPU cores, and downloadable and recorded software for operating the foregoing; computer hardware
subsystems comprised of microprocessor subsystems; microprocessor modules; system-on-chip System-on-a-chip (SoC) processors; system-on-chip (SoC) architecture for use with central processing
units (CPU) and graphics processing units (GPU), namely, SoC architecture that connects die-to-die, chip-to-chip, and socket-to-socket, used across different microprocessors to enable increased
computing performance; system-on-chip System-on-a-chip (SoC) {computer hardware and downloadable software?} architecture for use with central processing units (CPU) and graphics processing units (GPU), namely, system-on-a-chip (SoC) {hardware and downloadable software?} architecture that connects for connecting
