`
`_ Consolidated Biscuit Co., hereby requests amendment to the identification of
`
`goods in Class 30 in the two applications identified above, that are the subject of:
`I
`
`Opposition No. 91153460.
`
`The goods in class 30 are currently described as:
`
`C A N D Y
`
`A N
`
`I
`
`CONFECTIONS,
`
`EXCLUDING
`
`IVIARSHMALLOWS
`
`AND MARSHIVIALLOWI,
`
`CONFECTIONS, NAMELY, CHOCOLATE, CHOCOLATE CHIPS, BUTTERSCOTCH M
`
`
`
`
`
`.1.9“D43‘.
`
`CHIPS, HARD CANDIES, CANDIES CONTAINING JELLY, LICORICE AIIND
`
`CHOCOLATE COVERED NUTS, ALL FOR SNACKING AND EATING.
`
`The goods in class 30 should be amended to:
`
`C H O C O L A T
`
`,
`
`CHOCOLATE CHIPS, BUTTERSCOTCH CHIPS, HARD CANDIES, PEANUT BRITTILE,
`
`I
`
`CANDIES CONTAINING JELLY, LICORICE AND CHOCOLATE COVERED NUTS, ALL
`I
`I
`,l
`I
`
`FOR SNACKING AND EATING.
`
`The changes to the identification of goods consist of the removal of the
`I
`
`prefatory language
`
`”Candy and confections,
`
`excluding marshmallows
`
`andI
`
`marshmallow confections” and the addition of the terminology ”peanut brittle”.
`
`IiI
`
`The addition of the terminology ”peanut brittle” does not broaden the
`
`identification of goods. The existing identification of goods already includes ”hard
`candies” as well as "candies containing chocolate covered nuts". Peanut brittle
`a hard candy that contains nuts. Therefore, peanut brittle is logically incIudedI.,
`
`within the scope of the terms originally identified.
`
`As indicated in TMEP I402.06(a),
`
`I
`
`I
`I
`i
`
`If an applicant wishes to amend the identification
`of goods and services to insert an item that is equivalent
`to or logically encompassed by an item already included
`in the identification of goods and services, the examining
`attorney should permit the amendment, if it is timely and
`otherwise proper.
`
`
`
`
`
`Consolidated Biscuit and Doumak have agreed to settle this opposition and1
`
`the Opposer, Doumak, has expressly consented to the amended identification iof
`goods in Class 30, as set forth above. Upon the filing of the amendment herein to
`the identification of goods, Doumak will withdraw its Notices of Opposition to
`
`registration of Consolidated Biscuit's trademark applications.
`
`Favorable action is solicited.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
`CONSOLIDATED BISCUIT CO.
