[E-trademarks] idiotic office actions

[Crane, Susan]

Adding to the list of idiotic office actions, now we need to teach EAs grammar, especially PTO grammar regarding commas versus semicolons.

I filed several applications with the following specs:  Resort hotel, all-inclusive hotel, hotel and motel accommodation services.

Now the PTO and the Nice classification system have become picky in the last few years, and determined that "hotel services" could encompass services outside Class 43, such as concierge services, etc. so you must specify that they are hotel accommodation services. Fine.  We did that.

But just got a refusal that says "resort hotel" services are indefinite, and I need to amend the ID to "Resort hotel accommodation services, all-inclusive hotel, hotel and motel accommodation services.."

Please explain to  me how "accommodation services" modifies all-inclusive hotel, hotel and motel, but not resort hotel?


SMDH!
