RESPONSE
Responsive to the Office Action of July 18, 2003.
REMARKS
Reconsideration is respectfully requested. This response is directed to
the descriptiveness refusal maintained by the examiner in the second office
action identified above. Based on Applicant’s actual use of the mark as more
fully specified in the Amendment to Allege Use (which has been filed prior

Office on the Supplemental Register established by the Act of July 5, 1946
(15 U.S.C. §1091 et seq., as amended; 37 C.F.R. §2.75). Applicant is the
owner of the mark sought to be registered and is using or is using through a
related company the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods
identified in the Amendment to Allege Use.
Withdrawal of the descriptiveness objection is respectfully requested.
II. DISCLAIMER
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “LOCK” apart from the mark
as shown.
CONCLUSION
Applicant respectfully requests that the refusal to register Applicant’s
mark SECURE LOCK be withdrawn, and that the mark be deemed entitled to
registration on the Supplemental Register.
