`Quality Review Findings
`
`Application Serial No. 76-313204 Mark: BITDEFENDER and design
`
`The trademark quality review group has completed a thorough review of all substantive and procedural issues in
`the Final action in the above referenced application. This finding is being sent to the examining attorney for
`informational purposes only. Examining attorneys should not respond directly to OTQR regarding this finding,
`but should consult with their managing and/or senior attorney regarding any response.
`
`This review included an analysis of the appropriateness of decision-making, written explanations, and evidence
`supporting each issue, if necessary.
`
`Findings regarding excellent and deficient handling of issues are discussed below.
`
`No response is needed.
`
`Please reply to this email message within two weeks, indicating what corrective action, if any,
`will be taken.
`
`Handling of the requirement for an acceptable identification of goods and services was deficient for the
`following reason: The Final action required that applicant specify its "services for data security." However,
`this language is unacceptable because it lists services that are beyond the scope of the original identification,
`which lists software only.
`In addition, the following language in applicant's amended identification is
`unacceptable as indefinite: computer software use [sic] in the antivirus field.
`In addition to the field of use, the
`applicant should specify the function of this software. TMEP 1402.03(d).
`
`The file will be returned to your law office docket room (or other appropriate location) as quickly as possible.
`
`Thank You.

`
`RE: Serial Number 76/313204
`
`This letter responds to the applicant's communication filed on May 12, 2003.
`
`The foreign registration is accept and has been entered into the record.
`
`The Section 1(b) basis has been deleted.
`
`Identification of Goods and Services
`The applicant was required to submit an acceptable identification of goods and services. That
`requirement is maintained and made FINAL.
`
`The wording “services for data security" in the recitation of services is unacceptable as indefinite
`because the specific type of services is unclear. The applicant must amend the recitation to specify
`the common commercial name of the services.
`If there is no common commercial name for the
`services, the applicant must describe the Services and indicate their nature. Tl\/[EP §1402.11.
`
`

`
`The applicant should consult the on-line identification manual on the PTO homepage for a
`searchable database of acceptable identifications for_goods and services. The manual is available
`at: http1//www.usptogov/web/offices/tac/doflmanual.
`
`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. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Therefore,
`the applicant may not amend to include any goods or services that are not within the scope of the
`goods and services recited in the present identification.
`
`Reguirements for Multiple Classes — If Applicable
`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/services by international class with the classes listed
`in ascending numerical order. TMEP §1403.01.
`
`(2) The applicant must submit a filing fee for each international class of goods/services not
`covered by the fee already paid. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1) and 2.86(a); TMEP §§810.01 and
`1403.01. Effective January 1, 2003, the fee for filing a trademark application is $335 for
`each class. This applies to classes added to pending applications as well as to new
`applications filed on or afier that date.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, this action is made FINAL.
`
`Please note that the only appropriate responses to a final action are (1) compliance with the
`outstanding requirements, if feasible, (2) filing of an appeal to the Trademark Trial and Appeal
`Board, or (3) filing of a petition to the Director if permitted by 37 CFR. §2.63(b). 37 CFR.
`§2.64(a); TMEP §715.01. Regarding petitions to the Director, see 37 C.F.R. §2.146; TMEP
`Chapter 1700 regarding petitions. If the applicant fails to respond within six months of the mailing
`date of this refusal, this Office will declare the application abandoned. 37 CFR. §2.65(a).
