In response to the Office Action mailed on May 16, 2005, Applicant respectfully requests the Examining Attorney to reconsider and withdraw the refusal to register the subject-mark in view of the following Remarks.

Section 2.20.

 

CONCLUSION

Accordingly, an in view of the above Remarks, Applicant submits that this application is in condition for publication, and respectfully requests an early notice of the same.

 

            Dated:  November 15, 2005                                Respectfully submitted,
