`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 6/8/2015
`
`INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION NO. 1220825
`
`NON FINAL ACTION
`
`Based on further review of the Identification of Goods,
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
`Electric lamps and other lighting apparatus [indicate the nature of other lighting apparatus, e.g. flat panel lighting apparatus, lighting apparatus
`for vehicles; lighting apparatus, namely, lighting installations; spot lights; multi-functional lighting apparatus with projecting function; parts and
`fittings for lighting apparatus and installations. International Class 11.
`For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
`Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html.   See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`An applicant may only amend an identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to add to or broaden the scope of the goods
`and/or services.  37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §1904.02(c)(iv).  In an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), the scope of the
`identification for purposes of permissible amendments is limited by the international class assigned by the International Bureau of the World
`Intellectual Property Organization (International Bureau).  37 C.F.R. §2.85(f); TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c). 
`If an applicant amends an
`identification to a class other than that assigned by the International Bureau, the amendment will not be accepted because it will exceed the scope
`and those goods and/or services will no longer have a basis for registration under U.S. law.  TMEP §§1402.01(c), 1904.02(c).
`
`In addition, in a Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not change the classification of goods and/or services from that assigned by the
`International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.  37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1402.01(c).  Further, in a
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`    
` 
` 
`  
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer goods and/or services from one existing international class to another.  37
`
`C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1402.01(c).   
`
`If applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.  All relevant e-
`mail communications will be placed in the official application record; however, an e-mail communication will not be accepted as a response to
`this Office action and will not extend the deadline for filing a proper response.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(c), 2.191; TMEP §§304.01-.02, 709.04-
`.05.  Further, although the trademark examining attorney may provide additional explanation pertaining to the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in
`this Office action, the trademark examining attorney may not provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights.  See TMEP §§705.02,
`709.06.

`
`WARNING
`
`Failure to file the required response by the applicable response deadline will result in the ABANDONMENT of your application.  For
`
`more information regarding abandonment, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/abandon.jsp.  
`
`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that
`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.”   
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”   For more information on how to handle
