MARK SECTION (no change)
ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS SECTION
CONCURRENT USE The two marks are used in commerce to provide different services. The Applicant’s mark provides entertainment services in the nature of a television series covering in-home parties and party information, tips and ideas, while the mark in Registration #2352992 provides actual event planning services and goods, namely printed invitations and announcements. The two marks are used in commerce in different principal market areas and in different channels of trade. While the Applicant’s mark reaches the general nation-wide television-viewing public, the mark in Registration #2352992 is targeted only to consumers in New Jersey who are specifically interested in hosting an event such as a wedding, bar mitzvah, etc. The two parties entered into an agreement on July 27, 2001 by which the owner of Registration #2352992 agreed that it had no objection to Applicant’s use of Applicant’s mark for a television series or to the registration of Applicant’s trademark in connection therewith. The Applicant is not aware of any actual confusion reported between its mark and Registration #2352992, and the two marks have both been in continuous use in commerce since at least November 2002 without any confusion.
