Subject: TM Application No. 90016138 - B and design
Importance: High

 

Dear Mr. Hunt,

 

I approved this mark for publication on 7/27/2020 but it was withdrawn from publication due to an issue with the identification of services in Class 41.  Specifically, the wording “videos featuring […] general interest activities” in Class 41 is not an acceptable identification because it does not specify the subject matter of the videos with sufficient specificity.  I apologize for the oversight.

 

This issue can be resolved via Examiner’s Amendment to allow me to quickly re-approve the mark for publication.  I would suggest simply deleting the wording “general interest activities” from the identification and proceeding with the following amended identification in Class 41:

 

International Class 41: Entertainment services, namely, providing non-downloadable prerecorded videos featuring information and commentary about video games and comedy skits, all on-line via a global computer network; Entertainment services, namely, personal appearances by a gaming and internet celebrity

 

Please let me know if the above suggested amended ID is acceptable.  If so, I will issue an Examiner’s Amendment and re-approve the mark.  If you have any questions, feel free to call me at 571-270-1989.

 

Kind regards,
