`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issues below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
`Requirement for clarification of the identification of goods and services
`Requirement for foreign registration
`
`PRIOR PENDING APPLICATION
`
`The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no similar registered
`marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).  However, a mark in a prior-filed
`pending application may present a bar to registration of applicant’s mark.
`
`The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial No. 87380898 precedes applicant’s filing date.  See attached referenced application.  If the
`mark in the referenced application registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a
`likelihood of confusion between the two marks.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.  Therefore, upon receipt of
`applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final disposition of the earlier-filed referenced
`application.
`
`In response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict
`between applicant’s mark and the mark in the referenced application.  Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits
`applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
`
`However, applicant must address the following issues.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES
`
`The wording in the identification of goods and services must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods and services in other
`
`international classes.  See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  
`
`In Class 9, applicant must clarify the nature of its power distribution or control machines and apparatus, audio frequency transmission machines
`and apparatus for telecommunication, parts and accessories for telecommunication machines and apparatus, and electronic machines, apparatus
`and their parts.
`
`Applicant is advised to delete or modify the duplicate entry in the identification of goods in International Class 9 for “photoelectric sensors,”
`“gas meters,” and “dry cells.”   See generally TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(a).  If applicant does not respond to this issue, be advised that the
`USPTO will remove duplicate entries from the identification prior to registration. If modifying one of the duplicate entries, applicant may amend
`it to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services beyond those in the original application or
`as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Also, generally, any deleted goods and/or services may not later be
`reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`In Class 11, applicant must clarify the nature of its electric ovens, electric heaters, floor heaters, electric foot warmers, and water purifiers.
`
`In Class 42, applicant must clarify the nature of its software as a service services. Applicant must also clarify the wording “providing a web
`hosting platform for monitoring and controlling factory; manufacturing processes” because it appears that a semicolon was inadvertently inserted
`between “factory” and “manufacturing.”
`
`The following wording is suggested, if accurate:
`
`testing machines and instruments, namely, photoelectric sensors, apparatus for measuring calories burned during

`
`Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as
`acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying
`language or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or
`add goods and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b). 
`The scope of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary
`meaning of the wording in the identification.  TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b).  Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will
`further limit scope, and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted.  TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`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.  See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`Please note that the identification of goods in Class 7 is acceptable as written.
`
`FOREIGN REGISTRATION CERTIFICATE REQUIRED
`
`The application specifies both an intent to use basis under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and a claim of priority under Section 44(d) based on a
`foreign application.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1126(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(2), (a)(4).  However, no copy of a foreign registration has been
`provided even though the application indicates applicant’s intent to rely on Section 44(e) as an additional basis for registration.  See 15 U.S.C.
`§1126(e).
`
`An application with a Section 44(e) basis must include a true copy, photocopy, certification, or certified copy of a foreign registration from an
`applicant’s country of origin.  15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01, 1016.  In addition, an applicant’s country
`of origin must be a party to a convention or treaty relating to trademarks to which the United States is also a party, or must extend reciprocal
`registration rights to nationals of the United States by law.  15 U.S.C. §1126(b); TMEP §§1002.01, 1004.
`
`Therefore, applicant must provide a copy of the foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin when it becomes available.  TMEP
`§1003.04(a).  A copy of a foreign registration must consist of a document issued to an applicant by, or certified by, the intellectual property
`office in applicant’s country of origin.  TMEP §1004.01. 
`If applicant’s country of origin does not issue registrations or Madrid Protocol
`certificates of extension of protection, applicant may submit a copy of the Madrid Protocol international registration that shows that protection of
`the international registration has been extended to applicant’s country of origin.  TMEP §1016.  In addition, applicant must also provide an
`English translation if the foreign registration is not written in English.   37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b).  The translation should
`be signed by the translator.  TMEP §1004.01(b).
`
`If the foreign registration has not yet issued, or applicant requires additional time to procure a copy of the foreign registration (and English
`translation, as appropriate), applicant should so inform the trademark examining attorney and request that the U.S. application be suspended until
`a copy of the foreign registration is available.  TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04(b).
`
`If applicant cannot satisfy the requirements of a Section 44(e) basis, applicant may request that the mark be approved for publication based
`solely on the Section 1(b) basis.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(1); TMEP §§806.02(f), 806.04(b), 1003.04(b).  
`Although the mark may be approved for publication on the Section 1(b) basis, it will not register until an acceptable allegation of use has been
`filed.  See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c)-(d); 37 C.F.R. §§2.76, 2.88; TMEP §1103.  Please note that, if the U.S. application satisfied the requirements of
`Section 44(d) as of the U.S. application filing date, applicant may retain the priority filing date under Section 44(d) without perfecting the
`
`Section 44(e) basis, provided there is a continuing valid basis for registration.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(3)-(4); TMEP §§806.02(f), 806.04(b).  
`
`Alternatively, applicant has the option to amend the application to rely solely on the Section 44(e) basis and request deletion of the Section 1(b)
`basis.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(1); TMEP §806.04.  The foreign registration alone may serve as the basis for obtaining a U.S. registration.  See 37
`C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3); TMEP §806.01(d).

`
`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
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
