MISCELLANEOUS STATEMENT |
In response to the issues raised by the Examining Attorney in her office action of March 23, 2007, Applicant has provided a further copy of
its Italian registration that clearly shows the mark (an English translation was previously submitted with the first copy). Additionally, Applicant has adopted the translation statement required by
the Examining Attorney. Further, Applicant adopts the amended color location statement required by the Examining Attorney as follows: The color white appears in the wording NOVELLO DI TEROLDEGO and
in two spots on the ladybugs back, the color green appears in the leaf, the color red appears in the ladybugs back, and the color black appears in the ladybugs spots and in certain other features
of the ladybug, as well as in the background of the mark. Finally, Applicant claims ownership of its cited prior registration Nos. 2476352 and 2888094, though the former registration is in the grace
period for maintenance and will soon lapse. Having responded to these issues, Applicant kindly requests passage to publication. Respectfully submitted, |
