`
`RE: Serial Number: 76/224051
`
`The- assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`following.
`
`Search Clause
`
`The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or
`pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section
`1052(d). TMEP section 1105.01.
`
`Disclaimer
`
`The applicant must insert a disclaimer of COLLATED in the application. Trademark Act Section
`6, 15 U.S.C. Section 1056; TMEP section 1213. The term is descriptive in relation to the goods.
`
`The computerized printing format for the Trademark Ofiicial Gazette requires a standard form for a
`disclaimer. TMEP section 1213.09(a)(i). A properly worded disclaimer should read as follows:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use COLLATED apart from the mark as shown.
`
`
`
`.

`76/224051
`
`-2-
`
`See In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm'r Pats. 1983).
`
`Claim of Ownership
`
`The applicant should submit the following claim of ownership: The applicant is the owner of U.S.
`Registration No. 0907843, 2448100 and others.
`
`37 C.F.R. Section 2.36; TMEP section 812.
`
`Description of the Mark
`
`The applicant must submit a concise description of the mark.
`section 808 et seq. The statement may be in the following form:
`
`37 C.F.R. Section 2.37; TMEP
`
`The mark consists, in part, of a stylized drawing of nails.
`
`Identification and Classification of Goods
`
`The identification of goods is unacceptable both because it is indefinite and because it may refer to
`goods in more than one class. TMEP section 804. The applicant must amend the identification to
`specify the common commercial names for the goods. If the goods have no common commercial
`names, then the applicant must amend the identification to describe the goods and their intended
`uses, being as complete and specific as possible and avoiding the use of indefinite terms and
`phrases.
`
`Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification,
`additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.71(a); TMEP section 804.09.
`Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of goods
`set forth in the present identification.
`
`If the goods are metal, they are in class 6; if non-metal — class 20.
`
`If the applicant prosecutes this application as a combined, or multiple-class, application,
`applicant must comply with each of the following.
`
`the
`
`(1) The applicant must list the goods by international class with the classes listed in
`ascending numerical order. TMEP section 1113.01.
`
`(2) The applicant must submit a filing fee for each international class of goods not covered
`by the fee already paid. 37 C.F.R. Sections 2.6(a)(1) and 2.86(b); TMEP sections 810.01
`and 1113.01. The fee for filing a trademark application is $325 for each class.
