`
`he identification of goods has been amended.(cid:160) However, a registered trademark can NOT be used in an identification.(cid:160) The wording “Blu-ray”
`in the identification of goods is a registered mark not owned by applicant.(cid:160) See enclosed copy of U.S. Registration No(s). 2901104. (cid:160) In its own
`application, an applicant may use its own registered mark in an identification of goods or services, but may not use a registered mark owned by
`another party.(cid:160) A registered mark indicates origin in one party and cannot be used to define goods or services that originate in a party other than
`the registrant.(cid:160) See Camloc Fastener Corp. v. Grant, 119 USPQ 264, 264 n.1 (TTAB 1958); TMEP §1402.09.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must amend the identification of goods by deleting the wording “Blu-ray” and substituting the common commercial or
`
`generic name for the goods.(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
