`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`following.
`
`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 1105.01.
`
`Further action awaits response to the above.
`
`PLEASE NOTE: All of the issues raised can be resolved by telephone. The applicant may
`telephone the examining attorney,
`instead of submitting a written response,
`to expedite the
`
`application.
`
`The wording the applicant has used to identify the goods is unacceptable as indefinite. The
`applicant must indicate not only that the goods are computer software and that they are for use in a
`particular general field, but must also indicate the specich purpose or firnction of the program.
`TMEP section 804.03(b). This additional information is necessary to permit this Office to reach
`judgements concerning possible conflicts between the applicant's mark and other marks. See In re
`Linkvest SA, 24 USPQ2d 1716 (TTAB 1992). Amendment is required.
