`
`he assigned trademark examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application filed on January 31, 2008, and has determined the following.
`IDENTIFICATION/CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS
`The identification of goods is unacceptable as indefinite because as worded, the exact nature of the goods is unclear.(cid:160) Specifically, the applicant

`must clarify the nature of its “flat display” as listed in the identification. (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant must rewrite the identification of goods in its entirety because of the nature and extent of the amendment.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.74(b).
`The applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)

`players and digital video disc recorders, all equipped with a flat [Specify liquid crystal or plasma] display,” in International Class 9.
`TMEP §1402.01.
`Please note that, while the identification of goods may be amended to clarify or limit the services, adding to the goods or broadening the scope of
`the goods is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods that are
`not within the scope of the goods set forth in the present identification.

`Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02.
