`
`FINAL REQUIREMENT –
`Identification of Goods and Services
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant applied to register its mark ATOS (in special form) for use in connection with goods and services in Classes 09, 35, 38, and 42.(cid:160) In the
`initial Office Action, the examining attorney requested extensive revisions and amendments.(cid:160) In its May 9, 2012 response, applicant entered
`amendments for each of these identifications.(cid:160) Applicant also noted communications between applicant and the examining attorney regarding
`these amendments and included the examining attorney’s concern over repetitive identifications and those which unacceptably broaden the scope
`of the original identification.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`lass 09
`The amendments to Class 09 have been accepted.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`lass 35
`Applicant has amended this identification to read:
`
`Management consulting services, namely, business management consulting and advisory services, business consulting, management, and
`planning services, business organizational and development consulting services; technical, administrative and commercial consulting
`services for management, namely information and data compiling and analyzing relating to business management and facilities
`management of technical operations; technical, administrative and commercial consulting services in the field of information
`technologies, namely providing business administration and management advice in the field of information technology and data
`processing systems; data processing services; administrative management of computer operations for others, namely operation of

`management of computerized files; computerized management of administrative, commercial and technical matters, namely

`office functions, namely, accounting and human resource matters; outsourcing services for document and data processing for a company,
`namely, services for compilation and systemization of data into computer databases, input and processing of data, information, images,
`documents, database and image updates
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording “ computer file rental” in the identification of services too broad and must be clarified because it is belongs in Class 38, not Class
`35.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of services from that assigned by the
`International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b).(cid:160) Further, in a
`multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer services from one existing international class to another.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`§2.85(d); see TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)T

`electronic transmission of secure payment information via a global computer network; electronic exchange of data stored in databases
`accessible via telecommunications networks; telecommunication consultation in the nature of technical consulting in the field of audio,
`text, and visual data transmission and communication via the Internet
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording “ management of videotext networks, multimedia systems, and computer networks for global telecommunications for the
`transmission of high-value data,”(cid:160) in the identification of services is too broad and must be clarified because it is not a Class 38 service.(cid:160)
`Further, the language “ signal transmission for electronic commerce via telecommunication systems and data communications systems” is
`repeated in this identification.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of services from that assigned by the
`International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b).(cid:160) Further, in a
`multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer services from one existing international class to another.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`§2.85(d); see TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, any modification to this wording must identify services in International Class 38, the classification specified in the application for
`these services.(cid:160) Applicant must delete this wording from the identification.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`lass 42
`Applicant has amended the identification to read:

`computing systems and networks; rental of computer software; computing services provided in connection with the rental of access time
`to a computer database via any technical device involving a data transmission system, namely, computer hardware and software
`consulting services, computer network configuration services, troubleshooting in the nature of diagnosing computer hardware and

`computerized networks; computer programming services for electronic and computer payment processing solutions; design and
`development of energy efficient computer hardware and software; consulting services in the field of energy efficient computing and
`energy efficient technology
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording “ computing services provided in the context of the rental of access time to a computer database, namely, computer hardware and
`software consulting services, computer network configuration services, troubleshooting in the nature of diagnosing computer hardware and
`software problems, technical administration of servers for others and troubleshooting in the nature of diagnosing server problems,
`troubleshooting of computer software problems” in the identification services is unacceptable as it is impermissibly expands the scope of the
`original identification and it is repeated three times within this same identification.(cid:160)(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`dentifications may be amended only to clarify or limit the services; adding to or broadening the scope of the services is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`§2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq.(cid:160) In addition, in an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the
`classification of services from that assigned by the International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d);
`TMEP §§1402.01(c), 1904.02(b).(cid:160) The scope of the identification for purposes of permissible amendments is limited by the assigned international
`class.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(f); TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).(cid:160) Further, in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer
`
`services from one existing international class to another.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); see TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, any modification to this wording must identify services in International Class 42, the classification specified in the application for
`
`these services.(cid:160) Applicant must delete this wording.(cid:160)(cid:160)
