`carefiJlly read and considered the applicant’s response. The identification of goods is unacceptable
`because it exceeds the scope of the goods identified in the foreign certificate of registration.
`Therefore, the applicant must limit the identification by deleting the following: wooden pestles.
`funnels, hand—operated coffee grinders and hand-operated pepper mills? funnels and bottle openers.
`In re Lowenbrau Marvel/zen, 175 USPQ 178 (TTAB 1972); 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1012
