`
`Applicant initially filed this application on the dual basis of a bona fide intent to use
`
`under Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act and on the basis of a Japanese registration. Applicant has
`
`amended the application to delete Section 1(b) as a basis for registration and to rely solely on
`
`Section 44(d) as a basis for registration. Section 806.04 of the TMEP provides for such an
`
`amendment:
`
`If an application is based on §l(b) in addition to another basis, the
`applicant may delete the §1(b) basis by amendment at any time.
`37 CPR. §2.35(a). If the applicant wishes to delete the §1(b)
`basis after publication, the applicant must submit a written
`amendment requesting that the §1(b) basis be deleted.
`
`Applicant has complied with these provisions by amending its application to delete
`
`Section 1(b) as a basis for filing and by submitting a copy of its Japanese registration in
`
`fulfillment of its Section 44(d) filing basis. In View of the foregoing, applicant respectfully
`
`requests that its application be approved for publication.

`RE: Serial Number: 75/551486
`
`The office received the applicant’s response on December 15, 1999. The drawing page and foreign
`application number are accepted. However, the identification of goods is not acceptable. The
`applicant must submit a substitute power of attorney, designation of domestic representative and
`change in applicant’s corespondent address as indicated in its response.
`In addition, the applicant
`must respond to a new issue.
`
`The applicant must amend the
`The applicant has classified the paper lanterns incorrectly.
`application to classify the goods in International Class 16. 37 C.F.R. Sections 2.33(a)(1)(vi) and
`2.85; TMEP sections 805 and 1401,
`
`The wording "boilers, gas water heaters, industrial rice cookers, industrial cooking ranges, and
`water purifiers" in the identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must
`amend the identification to specify the commercial name of the goods.
`If there is no common
`commercial name for the product, the applicant must describe the product and its intended uses.
`TMEP section 804.
`
`The applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate:
`
`

`

`75/551486
`
`-2-
`
`Apparatus for lighting, heating, steam generating, cooking, refrigerating, drying, ventilating and
`water supply, namely, gas lamps, oil
`lamps, furnace boilers, gas heaters, hot water heaters,
`industrial electric rice cookers, industrial dish dryers,
`industrial electric or gas cooking ranges,
`refrigerators, and freezers, water heaters; bathtubs; water purification units; flashlights, ventilating
`fans for commercial use, water coolerselnt’l. CL. 11, and
`
`Apparatus for lighting, namely, paper lanterns—Int’l. CL. 16.
`
`the identification,
`Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit
`additions to the identification are not permitted. 37 CPR. 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 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 CPR Sections 2.6(a)(1) and 2,86(b); TMEP sections 810.01
`and 1113.01. Effective January 10, 2000, the fee for filing a trademark application is $325
`for each class, This applies to classes added to pending applications as well as to new
`applications filed on or after that date.
`
`The applicant has filed asserting a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce under
`Trademark Act Section 1(b), 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(b), and claiming priority under Section 44(d),
`15 U.S.C. Section 1126(d), based on a foreign application. Under these circumstances,
`the
`applicant may rely solely on its intent to use the mark in commerce as the basis for registration and
`not the expected foreign registration, and still claim the benefit of t
