Issue date: June 28, 2022
SEARCH OF USPTO DATABASE OF MARKS
The trademark examining attorney searched the USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.
Although no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) have been found, applicant must respond to the refusal(s) and requirement(s) set forth below.
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS REQUIREMENT
The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because applicant did not identify the highlighted (capitalized text) goods with sufficient specificity. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01. Applicant must specify the field of use in which the goods are used or intended to be used, or the specific purpose of the goods. See TMEP §1402.01.
Applicant may adopt the following wording, if accurate:
Class 16: Paper, cardboard and goods made from these materials, not included in other classes namely paper carrying cases; printed matter namely PRINTED posters in the field of horology and jewelry, PRINTED leaflets and PRINTED posters in the field of perfumes and cosmetics, PRINTED leaflets in the field of apparatus and instruments for sports timekeeping, PRINTED handbooks in the field of repair of jewelry and horological and chronometric instruments, PRINTED handbooks in the field of repair and maintenance of apparatus and instruments for sports timekeeping; stationary namely memo pads
An applicant may only amend an identification to clarify or limit the goods, but not to add to or broaden the scope of the goods. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.
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.
For this application to proceed, applicant must explicitly address each refusal and/or requirement in this Office action. For a refusal, applicant may provide written arguments and evidence against the refusal, and may have other response options if specified above. For a requirement, applicant should set forth the changes or statements. Please see “Responding to Office Actions” and the informational video “Response to Office Action” for more information and tips on responding.
If applicant does not timely respond to this Office action, the following goods will be deleted from the application: posters in the field of horology and jewelry, leaflets and posters in the field of perfumes and cosmetics, leaflets in the field of apparatus and instruments for sports timekeeping, handbooks in the field of repair of jewelry and horological and chronometric instruments, handbooks in the field of repair and maintenance of apparatus and instruments for sports timekeeping; stationary namely memo pads. See 37 C.F.R. §2.65(a); TMEP §718.02(a).
