The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following:
IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
The identification of goods is unacceptable because skin, body, face and hair care products, and personal products is
overbroad. TMEP section 1402.01. The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate.
Cosmetics; skin, body, face, and hair care products, namely, _________[indicate specific products, e.g. hand lotion]; and
personal products, namely, __________[indicate specific products, e.g. hair shampoo]. International Class 3.
Please note that, while an application may be amended to clarify or limit the identification, additions to the identification
are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.71(a); TMEP section 804.09.
Therefore, the applicant may not amend to include any goods that are not within the scope of the goods recited in the
present identification.
NO SIMILAR MARKS FOUND
The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would
bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). TMEP section 704.02.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned
examining attorney.
