SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
Requirement for Acceptable Identification of Goods
Requirement for Signed Declaration and Verification
REQUIREMENT FOR ACCEPTABLE IDENTIFICATION/CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS
Some of the wording in the recitation of goods must be clarified because it is indefinite and/or too broad.
SeeTMEP 1402.01.
The USPTO has the discretion to determine the degree of particularity needed to clearly identify goods
and/or services covered by a mark. In re Fiat Grp. Mktg. & Corp. Commcns S.p.A, 109 USPQ2d 1593,
1597 (TTAB 2014) (citing In re Omega SA, 494 F.3d 1362, 1365, 83 USPQ2d 1541, 1543-44 (Fed. Cir.
2007)). Accordingly, the USPTO requires the description of goods and/or services in a U.S. application
to be specific, definite, clear, accurate, and concise. TMEP 1402.01;see In re Fiat Grp. Mktg. & Corp.
Commcns S.p.A, 109 USPQ2d at 1597-98; Cal. Spray-Chem. Corp. v. Osmose Wood Pres. Co. of Am. ,
102 USPQ 321, 322 (Commr Pats. 1954).

The wording radios, radio transmitters, and receivers in the identification of goods is indefinite and

transmitting, manipulating, and reviewing text, data, image, and audio files}.
The wording electrical and electronic connectors, couplers, wires, cables, chargers, docks, docking
stations, interfaces, and adapters for use with all of the aforesaid goods in the identification of goods is
indefinite and must be clarified because it does not make clear the nature of the goods. SeeTMEP

Docket/Reference Number:
The USPTO may assign pseudo marks, as appropriate, to new applications to assist in searching the USPTO database forconflicting marks. They have no legal significance and will not appear on the registration certificate.
A PSEUDO MARK may be assigned to marks that include words, numbers, compound words, symbols, or acronyms that canhave alternative spellings or meanings. For example, if the mark comprises the words 'YOU ARE' surrounded by a design of abox, the pseudo mark field in the USPTO database would display the mark as 'YOU ARE SQUARE'. A mark filed as 'URGR8'would receive a pseudo mark of 'YOU ARE GREAT'.
Response to this notice is not required; however, to suggest additions or changes to the pseudo mark assigned to your mark,please e-mail [email protected]. You mustreference your application serial number within yourrequest. The USPTO will review the proposal and update the record, if appropriate.
