`
`RE: Serial Number: 76-295295
`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`following.
`
`RECITATION OF SERVICES
`
`The wording " MINIATURE BASEBALL FIELDS ON WHICH CHILDREN CAN HIT, RUN
`AND CATCH BASEBALLS (change to “entertainment in the nature of a youth baseball theme park
`featuring miniature baseball fields on which children can hit, run and catch baseballs") and “STATIC
`EXHIBITS OF EMBOSSED SIGNATURES OF FAMOUS BASEBALL PLAYERS THAT CAN
`
`BE RUBBED TO CREATE AUTOGRAPHS (change to “entertainment services, namely, providing
`static exhibits of embossed signatures of famous baseball players that can be rubbed to create
`autographs”)" in the recitation of services is unacceptable as indefinite. The applicant must amend
`the recitation to specify the common commercial name of the services or to indicate their nature.
`TMEP section 1301.05.
`
`Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions
`to the identification are not permitted.
`37 CFR. Section 2.7l(a); TMEP section 804.09.
`Therefore,
`the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of
`services set forth in the present identification.
`
`

`
`74/ 123456
`
`-2-
`DISCLAIMER
`
`The applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “FAN LOT" apart from the mark as shown.
`Trademark Act Section 6, 15 USC. Section 1056; TMEP sections 1213 and l213.02(a). The
`wording is merely descriptive because it describes a significant feature of the services which include
`a play lot for fans.
`
`The computerized printing format for the Trademark Qfficial Gazette requires a standard form for a
`disclaimer. TMEP section 12l3.09(a)(i). A properly worded disclaimer should read as follows:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use FAN LOT apart from the mark as shown.
`
`See In re Owatonna T001 C0,, 231 USPQ 493 (Comm'r Pats. 1983).
