`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)

`the trademark examining attorney hereby grants applicant thirty (30) days from the date of issuance of this letter to resolve all the matters that

`
`In the present case, applicant appears to have inadvertently failed to consider or comply with the following refusals and/or requirements raised in

`
`(cid:160) I

`abandoned.(cid:160) See TMEP §715.03.

`(cid:160) T

`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he final requirement that applicant amend the recitation of services is MAINTAINED.
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified as noted.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) The underlined services are acceptable as
`currently identified.(cid:160) The remaining services require further amendment and/or reclassification as noted.
`
`(cid:160) N
`
`OTE: “DISTRIBUTION SERVICES” involves the activity of distributing a film to movie theatres and television stations for display to the
`public with the film itself being returned to the producer of the entertainment product after such display. This is not the case when distribution
`relates to videotapes, audio tapes or other hard goods that result from the production of visual or audio entertainment. When these goods are
`distributed, it is the same as the distribution of any other kind of hard goods by any other manufacturer. For this reason, distribution of
`videotapes, audio tapes, video disks, etc. should not be accepted as a service even when the distribution is linked to the production of these
`goods. The production of the entertainment product is perfectly acceptable in Class 41; however, the distribution of the hard goods that result
`from that production is not a service in Class 41.

`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:(cid:160) Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.(cid:160) These companies often use names that

`
`“fees.” (cid:160)(cid:160)

`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
