Identification of Goods
Applicant must clarify the wording “Scientific research equipment, namely, olfactometry stimuli-response systems and parts thereof, for testing and evaluating the response of insects and other arthropods to various chemical stimuli including odors” in the identification of goods because it is indefinite and too broad. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03. This wording is indefinite because the word “systems” must either indicate the components of the system or the system must be identified by a common commercial name.
Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:
Class 009: Scientific research equipment, namely, olfactometry stimuli-response systems in the nature of olfactometers and parts thereof, for testing and evaluating the response of insects and other arthropods to various chemical stimuli including odors
Guidelines to Amending the Identification of Goods and/or Services
Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Generally, any deleted goods and/or services may not later be reinserted. See TMEP §1402.07(e).
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.
