definite enough (this was an application based on a foreign registration, so the goods were especially vague in some areas), reviewed certain proposals to clarify the goods, provided feedback on those proposals, and proposed acceptable alternative language
for the client to consider. He even offered to take a look at the client\u2019s product in order to provide more accurate alternative language. And that was all via email.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
