`NON-FINAL OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S
`COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 2/21/2014
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ummary of Issues that Applicant Must Address:
`Identification of Goods Requirement
`Disclaimer Requirement
`
`(cid:160)1
`
`.(cid:160) Advisory – Search Results:
`The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that
`would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`(cid:160)2
`
`.(cid:160) Requirement – Identification of Goods:
`The identification of goods or services should set forth common names, using terminology that is generally understood.(cid:160) The identification of
`goods or services must be specific, definite, clear, accurate and concise. See In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 1 USPQ2d
`1296 (TTAB 1986), rev'd on other grounds, 824 F.2d 957, 3 USPQ2d 1450 (Fed. Cir. 1987); Procter & Gamble Co. v. Economics Laboratory,
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`Inc., 175 USPQ 505 (TTAB 1972), modified without opinion, 498 F.2d 1406, 181 USPQ 722 (C.C.P.A. 1974); In re Cardinal Laboratories, Inc.,
`149 USPQ 709 (TTAB 1966); California Spray-Chemical Corp. v. Osmose Wood Preserving Co. of America, Inc., 102 USPQ 321 (Comm'r Pats.
`1954); Ex parte A.C. Gilbert Co., 99 USPQ 344 (Comm'r Pats. 1953).
`
`The wording “incubators” in the identification of goods must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international
`classes.(cid:160) See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.(cid:160) For example, “egg incubators” are properly classified in International Class 007, “Incubators for
`bacteria cultures” are properly classified in International Class 009, and “incubators for medical purposes” are properly classified in
`International Class 010.(cid:160) Please identify the goods by common commercial or generic name and classify appropriately.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`International Class 007:
`Egg incubators.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`nternational Class 009:
`Incubators for bacteria cultures.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`nternational Class 010:
`Incubators for medical purposes.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`dentifications of goods can be amended only to clarify or limit the goods; adding to or broadening the scope of the goods is not permitted.(cid:160) 37
`C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.(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.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or assistance with identifying and classifying goods and/or services in trademark applications, please see the online searchable Manual of
`Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services at http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`equirements for a Multiple Class Application:
`For an application with more than one international class, called a “multiple-class application,” an applicant must meet all the requirements
`below for those international classes based on an intent to use the mark in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(b):
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`LIST GOODS AND/OR SERVICES BY INTERNATIONAL CLASS:(cid:160) Applicant must list the goods and/or services by international
`class.
`
`PROVIDE FEES FOR ALL INTERNATIONAL CLASSES:(cid:160) Applicant must submit an application filing fee for each international
`class of goods and/or services not covered by the fee(s) already paid (confirm current fee information at
`http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/tm_fee_info.jsp).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ee 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he filing fees for adding classes to an application are as follows:
`
`(1)(cid:160) A $325 fee per class, when the fees are submitted with an electronic response filed online at
`http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/response_forms.jsp, via the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).
`
`(2)(cid:160) A $375 fee per class, when the fees are submitted with a paper response.
`
`(cid:160)3
`
`7 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(i)-(ii); TMEP §§810, 1403.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)3
`
`.(cid:160) Requirement – Disclaimer:
`Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “CELL” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes an ingredient, quality,
`characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of applicant’s goods and/or services. (cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §§1052(e)(1), 1056(a); DuoProSS Meditech
`Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373
`F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1421 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2005).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Specifically, the attached evidence from the dictionary found(cid:160) at www.merriam-webster.com shows this wording means, “a small usually
`microscopic mass of protoplasm bounded externally by a semipermeable membrane, usually including one or more nuclei and various other
`organelles with their products, capable alone or interacting with other cells of performing all the fundamental functions of life, and forming the
`smallest structural unit of living matter capable of functioning independently”. (cid:160) Therefore, the wording merely describes the applicant’s goods,
`specifically, the applicant’s incubators are for cell cultures. (cid:160) Please see the additional evidence attached from www.labsave.com which discusses
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`the applicant’s goods and states, “Cell-IQ® is a fully integrated, automated cell culture and analysis system for kinetic cell studies” which
`further supports the Examining Attorney’s position that the term CELL immediately describes a feature or characteristic of the applicant’s
`goods, specifically, applicant’s incubators are for cell cultures
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`n applicant may not claim exclusive rights to terms or designs that others may need to use to describe or show their goods or services in the
`marketplace.(cid:160) See Dena Corp. v. Belvedere Int’l, Inc. , 950 F.2d 1555, 1560, 21 USPQ2d 1047, 1051 (Fed. Cir. 1991); In re Aug. Storck KG, 218
`USPQ 823, 825 (TTAB 1983).(cid:160) A disclaimer of unregistrable matter does not affect the appearance of the mark; that is, a disclaimer does not
`physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark.(cid:160) See Schwarzkopf v. John H. Breck, Inc., 340 F.2d 978, 978, 144 USPQ 433, 433
`
`(C.C.P.A. 1965); TMEP §1213.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If applicant does not provide the required disclaimer, the USPTO may refuse to register the entire mark.(cid:160) See In re Stereotaxis Inc., 429 F.3d
`1039, 1040-41, 77 USPQ2d 1087, 1088-89 (Fed. Cir. 2005); TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant should submit a disclaimer in the following standardized format:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “CELL” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to satisfy this disclaimer requirement online using the Trademark Electronic Application
`System (TEAS) form, please go to http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/law/disclaimer.jsp.
`
`(cid:160)4
`
`.(cid:160) Advisory – Response Guidelines:
`For this application to proceed toward registration, applicant must explicitly address each refusal and/or requirement raised in this Office action.(cid:160)
`If the action includes a refusal, applicant may provide arguments and/or evidence as to why the refusal should be withdrawn and the mark should
`register.(cid:160) Applicant may also have other options for responding to a refusal and should consider such options carefully.(cid:160) To respond to
`requirements and certain refusal response options, applicant should set forth in writing the required changes or statements.
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`esponses to Office actions must be properly signed. (cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(b), 2.193(e)(2); TMEP §§712, 712.01.(cid:160) Where an applicant is
`represented by an attorney who may practice before the USPTO, the attorney must sign the response.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(i); TMEP
`§§611.03(b), 712.01.(cid:160) The only attorneys who may sign responses and otherwise practice before the USPTO in trademark matters are (1)
`attorneys in good standing with a bar of the highest court of any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other federal territories
`and possessions of the United States; and (2) Canadian agents/attorneys who represent applicants located in Canada and (a) are registered with
`the USPTO and in good standing as patent agents or (b) have been granted reciprocal recognition by the USPTO.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.17(e),
`2.62(b), 11.1, 11.5(b)(2), 11.14(a), (c); TMEP §§602, 712.01.(cid:160) Attorneys who fail to meet these requirements, as well as non-attorneys, are
`generally not permitted to represent applicants in trademark matters before the USPTO; and thus, they may not sign responses.(cid:160) See 5 U.S.C.
`
`§500(b), (d); 37 C.F.R. §11.14(a)-(c), (e); TMEP §§602, 602.02, 608.01.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Where an applicant is initially represented by an attorney, and then later retains a different attorney from a different firm, the newly retained
`attorney may not sign responses until the applicant files a new power and/or revocation of attorney.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.18(a)(7); TMEP §604.03.
`
`(cid:160)W
`
`here an applicant is not represented by an attorney, the response must be signed by the individual applicant or someone with legal authority to
`bind a juristic applicant (e.g., a corporate officer or general partner).(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §§611.03(b), 611.06(b)-(h), 712.01.(cid:160)
`In the case of joint applicants, all must sign.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §611.06(a).
`
`(cid:160)5
`
`.(cid:160) Advisory – Assistance:
`If applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) 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

`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. (cid:160) See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.
