Section 7 Request Form

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

The registrant requests the following amendment(s) to registration no. 3270829 SWEETHEARTS(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/76666975/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

EXPLANATION OF FILING
The current owner listed with respect to the Registration is not correct. In the USPTO records, Assignments 4, 7, and 8 are the relevant assignments of note. Assignments 8 notes the assignment from New England Confectionary Company to Sweethearts Candy Co. Assignment 7 notes the assignment from Sweethearts Candy Co to Spangler Candy Company. Because the USPTO records based on execution date and not effective date, these assignments were recorded out of order. Accordingly Assignment 4, a corrective assignment, was filed to note and correct this discrepancy to note that assignment 8 was effective before assignment 7. Accordingly, Spangler Candy Company should be listed as the last listed owner of record of the registration.
