`
`Identification of Goods
`(cid:160)The wording "and/or wristbands" in the identification of goods needs clarification because it is vague. (cid:160) The metal key chains and metal key
`rings belong in Class 6, not in Class 14.(cid:160) Applicant must amend the identification of goods to specify the common commercial or generic name
`for the goods.(cid:160) If there is no common commercial or generic name for the product, then applicant must describe the product and intended
`consumer as well as its main purpose and intended uses.(cid:160) TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) The applicant should amend the identification of goods to the
`following, if accurate.(cid:160) Please note that the proposed changes are in bold type:
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160) Class 6:(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)

`
`Jewelry, namely, bracelets, charms, earrings, rings, belly rings, necklaces, pendants, watches, costume jewelry, rubber or

`(cid:160)P
`
`(cid:160) The
`lease also note that the applicant may not use the indefinite wording “and/or,” “or,” or “etc.” in its identification of goods/services.
`applicant must use the more definite word “and” when listing more than one item. (cid:160) The applicant may not use parentheticals in its description of
`goods/services.(cid:160) The examining attorney used them above merely to indicate wording that requires further amendment.
`
