Subject: SERIAL NUMBER 90527138 OPTIMA - one issue to resolve before approval
Good morning, Mr. Horstemeyer
I am the examining attorney assigned to the application cited above. The following must be resolved before the application can proceed to registration.
Identification of Goods
The wording “systems” must be clarified to identify the components of the system. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1401.05(d). For example, “wall system consisting of insulated concrete block” are goods in Class 017 while “wall system consisting of concrete retaining walls” are in Class 019. This wording may be amended to the following:
“Retaining wall systems consisting of concrete retaining walls” in Class 019
CONCLUSION: If you agree to the above, I can prepare an Examiner's Amendment and approve the application immediately. If I do not hear from anyone by the close of business on MONDAY 5pm (EST), I will have to proceed with a formal Office Action.
Thank you,
/Ms. Tasneem Hussain/
