`
`REMARKS
`
`The only issues which remain in this application are formal in nature.
`
`First, the identification of goods/services have been criticized as indefinite. Applicant has
`
`amended the identification, as set forth above, adopting in large part the proposals of the
`
`Examining Attorney, which proposals he is thanked.
`
`It
`
`is believed that only one of the
`
`suggestions of the Examining Attorney does not appear in the instant amendment, that being the
`
`suggestion that in Class 1, the recitation of “essential oils for industrial use”, further “specify
`
`products or field of use, if possible” (Office Action dated January 19, 2005 at page 1).
`
`It is believed that the amended recitation in Class 1, as presented above, is in good form,
`
`that that any further specificity with respect to the oils for industrial use is not necessary; indeed,
`
`the Action only states that this should be done “if possible”. Moreover, a preliminary review of
`
`the U.S.P.T.O. database shows that there are a number of U.S. Registrations which have recently
`
`issued and which contain a recitation of “essential oils for industrial use”, in Class 3, without any
`
`further description. See, for example, U.S. Registration Nos. 2,895,092 for the mark MISS
`
`SIXTY, dated October 19, 2004, and 2,879,110 for the mark FAIRPHARM, dated August 31,
`
`2004 (copies of the U.S.P.T.O. printouts of these registration details are appended hereto).
`
`Applicant submits that the amendment presented herein overcomes any criticism of the
`
`identification of goods/services as indefinite and places them into good form.
`
`Applicant further submits that the instant submission places this application into condition
`
`for publication, the early notification of which is respectfully solicited.
`
`If any formal
`
`issue should remain in this application,
`
`the Examining Attorney is
`
`respectfully asked to telephone the undersigned, so that it can be addressed promptly.
`
`This paper is filed together with a Notice of Appeal and required fee therefor.
