Response to Office Action for Post-Registration Matters

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

The following is submitted for registration number. 3018305 CRUISER :

FORM INFORMATION

Dear Sir/Madam:

A clerical error was made when filing the Section 8 and 10 Combined Affidavit submitted on October 10, 2011 (the “Combined Affidavit”) and the Section 7 Amendment submitted on October 25, 2011 (“Section 7 Amendment”). The owner’s name on both the Combined Affidavit and the Section 7 Amendment should have been stated as: Independent Liquor (NZ) Limited (New Zealand Company). A clerical mistake was made such that the owner’s name on the Combined Affidavit and the Section 7 Amendment was erroneously identified as: Independent Liquor (NZ) Limited (New Zealand Corporation). The true and correct owner of the registration for Serial No. 76549373/Registration No. 3018305, regarding the CRUISER mark, should be Independent Liquor (NZ) Limited (New Zealand Company). The same entity that filed the original registration, Independent Liquor (NZ) Limited (New Zealand Company), also filed the Combined Affidavit and the Section 7 Amendment; however, due to a clerical error the entity’s name was incorrectly stated on the Combined Affidavit and the Section 7 Amendment. Pursuant to TMEP §§1201.02(c) and 1604.07(f), the filer respectfully requests correction of the clerical mistake by amending the Combined Affidavit and the Section 7 Amendment such that the filer’s name for both such filings is properly identified as Independent Liquor (NZ) Limited (New Zealand Company).

Thank you.
