`TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
`REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE:  Applicants who filed their application online
`using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office

`Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring
`
`this additional fee.   
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`Search Results Advisory
`
`Note:  This is merely an advisory paragraph and not a requirement.
`
`The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that
`would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`PARTIAL Identification of Goods and/or Services Amendment Requirement
`
`THIS PARTIAL REQUIREMENT APPLIES ONLY TO THE SERVICES SPECIFIED THEREIN
`
`The Trademark Act requires that a trademark or service mark application must include a “ specification of … the goods [or services]” in
`connection with which the mark is being used or will be used.  15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(2) (emphasis added), (b)(2) (emphasis added); see 15 U.S.C.
`§1053.  Specifically, a complete application must include a “list of the particular goods or services on or in connection with which the applicant
`uses or intends to use the mark.”   37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6) (emphasis added).  This requirement for a specification of the particular goods and/or
`services applies to applications filed under all statutory bases.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(a)(2), 1051(b)(2), 1053, 1126(d)-(e), 1141(f); 37 C.F.R.
`§2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(b)-(c).
`
`In an identification, an applicant must use the common commercial or generic name for the goods and/or services, be specific and all-inclusive,
`and avoid using indefinite words or phrases.  TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03(a).  Further, applicant may amend the identification to list only those
`items that are within the scope of the goods and/or services set forth in the initial application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a);
`TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.  Scope is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the wording in the identification.  TMEP
`§1402.07(a).
`
`Applicant has classified “providing . . . computer applications featuring entertainment, sports, animation, music, informational, news, reality,
`documentary, current events, and arts and culture programming; providing . . . computer applications featuring information in the field of
`entertainment, sports, music, news, documentaries, current events, and arts and culture; entertainment information; . . . ; . . . providing interactive
`websites and computer applications for the posting and sharing of reviews, survey, and ratings relating to educational programs, entertainment,
`motion pictures, theatre, arts and cultural events, concerts, live performances, competitions, fairs, festivals, exhibitions, expositions, and sporting
`events; providing a website for the uploading, storing, sharing, viewing and posting of images, audio, videos, online journals, blogs, podcasts,
`and multimedia content” in International Class 41; however, the proper classification is International Class 42.   Therefore, applicant may respond
`by (1) adding International Class 42 to the application and reclassifying these goods and/or services in the proper international class, (2) deleting
`“providing . . . computer applications featuring entertainment, sports, animation, music, informational, news, reality, documentary, current
`events, and arts and culture programming; providing . . . computer applications featuring information in the field of entertainment, sports, music,
`news, documentaries, current events, and arts and culture; entertainment information; . . . ; . . . providing interactive websites and computer
`applications for the posting and sharing of reviews, survey, and ratings relating to educational programs, entertainment, motion pictures, theatre,
`arts and cultural events, concerts, live performances, competitions, fairs, festivals, exhibitions, expositions, and sporting events; providing a
`website for the uploading, storing, sharing, viewing and posting of images, audio, videos, online journals, blogs, podcasts, and multimedia
`content” from the application, or (3) deleting the remainder of the items in the identification and reclassifying the specified goods and/or services
`in the proper international class.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.86, 6.1; TMEP §§1403.02 et seq.  If applicant adds one or more international classes to the
`application, applicant must comply with the multiple-class requirements specified in this Office action in the amendment guidelines below. 
`Applicant must adopt the appropriate international classification number for the goods and/or services identified in the application.  The USPTO
`follows the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks, established by the World
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`Intellectual Property Organization, to classify goods and services.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.85(a); TMEP §§1401.02, 1401.02(a).  Proper classification
`of goods and services is a purely administrative matter within the sole discretion of the USPTO.  See In re Faucher Indus. Inc., 107 USPQ2d
`1355, 1357 (TTAB 2013) (quoting In re Tee-Pak, Inc., 164 USPQ 88, 89 (TTAB 1969)).  Please see non-exhaustive suggestions below.
`
`The wording “. . . , rental, and presentation of television programs, motion pictures, and multimedia entertainment content”, “providing ongoing
`television, audio, video, and webcast programs”, “providing . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , informational, . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . programming by means
`of telecommunications networks, computer networks, the Internet, satellite, wireless communications networks, television, and cable television”,
`“providing non-downloadable . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , informational, . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . programming”, “providing interactive guides for

`expositions, and sporting events”, “. . . presentation of reviews, surveys, and ratings, . . .”, “news reporting” in the identification of goods
`and/or services in International Class(es) 41 is indefinite and too broad.  This wording must be clarified because it is not clear what the goods
`and/or services are and could identify goods and/or services in more than one international class.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01,
`1402.03, 1904.02(c), (c)(ii).  For example, current events news reporting are in International Class 41, and legal news reporting are in
`International Class 45.  Applicant must adopt the appropriate international classification number for the goods and/or services identified in the
`application.  The USPTO follows the International Classification of Goods and Services for the Purposes of the Registration of Marks,
`established by the World Intellectual Property Organization, to classify goods and services.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.85(a); TMEP §§1401.02,
`1401.02(a).  Proper classification of goods and services is a purely administrative matter within the sole discretion of the USPTO.  See In re
`Faucher Indus. Inc., 107 USPQ2d 1355, 1357 (TTAB 2013) (quoting In re Tee-Pak, Inc., 164 USPQ 88, 89 (TTAB 1969)).  Please see non-
`exhaustive suggestions below.
`
`The following wording in the current identification is acceptable, because it is sufficiently definite and properly classified:
`
`            
`
`International Class 41: development, production, distribution, . . . of television programs, motion pictures, and multimedia entertainment
`content; . . . ; providing entertainment, sports, animation, music, . . . , news, reality, documentary, current events, and arts and culture

`
`Amendment Guidelines
`
`Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as
`acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying language
`or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or add goods
`and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b).  The scope
`of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the
`wording in the identification.  TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b).  Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope,
`and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable
`U.S. Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html.   See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`The application identifies goods and/or services in more than one international class; therefore, applicant must satisfy all the requirements below
`for each international class based on Trademark Act Section 1(b):
`
`(1)      
`
`List the goods and/or services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest
`numbered class.
`
`(2)      
`
`Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee(s) already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule ). 
`The application identifies goods and/or services that are classified in at least 2 classes; however, applicant submitted a fee(s) sufficient
`for only 1 class(es).  Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the
`application to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
`
`See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
`
`See an overview of the requirements for a Section 1(b) multiple-class application and how to satisfy the requirements online using the Trademark
`Electronic Application System (TEAS) form.
`
`The fee for adding classes to a TEAS Reduced Fee (RF) application is $275 per class.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(iii), 2.23(a).  See more
`information regarding the requirements for maintaining the lower TEAS RF fee and, if these requirements are not satisfied, for adding classes at a
`higher fee using regular TEAS.
`
`Applicant may respond to the stated refusal by submitting evidence and arguments against the refusal.  In addition, applicant may respond by
`doing one of the following:
`
`(1)  Deleting the services to which the refusal pertains;
`
`(2)  Filing a request to divide out the services that have not been refused registration, so that the mark may proceed toward publication for
`opposition for those services to which the refusal does not pertain.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.87.  See generally TMEP §§1110 et seq. (regarding
`the requirements for filing a request to divide).  If applicant files a request to divide, then to avoid abandonment, applicant must also file a
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`timely response to all outstanding issues in this Office action, including the refusal.  37 C.F.R. §2.87(e).; or
`
`(3)  Amending the basis for the services identified in the refusal, if appropriate.  TMEP §806.03(h).
`
`If applicant does not respond to this Office action within the six-month period for response, the following services will be deleted from the
`application: “. . . , rental, and presentation of television programs, motion pictures, and multimedia entertainment content”, “providing ongoing
`television, audio, video, and webcast programs”, “providing . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , informational, . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . , . . . programming by means

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

`

`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.”   
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”   For more information on how to handle
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
