| SERIAL NUMBER | 76409824 |
| MARK SECTION (no change) | |
| ARGUMENT(S) | |
| The Section 2(d) refusal is traversed in light of the amended recitation of the goods. Specifically, the multi-tools have been deleted from the recitation of the services, thus obviating the Examiner's objection regarding the alleged relationship of such multi-tools with pocket knives (which is the subject of the cited registration). Also, the pipe threading kits have been deleted from the recitation of the services, thus obviating the Examiner's objection regarding the alleged indefiniteness. Thus, registration of the mark to the applicant herein is appropriate. | |
