LITERAL ELEMENT | AWE COLLECTIVE |
STANDARD CHARACTERS | YES |
USPTO-GENERATED IMAGE | YES |
MARK STATEMENT | The mark consists of standard characters, without claim to any particular font style, size or color. |
ARGUMENT(S) | |
Examiner indicates Applicant must disclaim "Collective" apart from its mark, indicating that the term collective refers to a cooperative enterprise, and attaches a definition of the term collective. Applicant respectfully rejects Examiner's position that Applicant is using the term to indicate a cooperative enterprise. In fact, Applicant is an LLC as indicated in Applicant's name, and is not a collective enterprise. Further the definition provided by the Examiner is one of many different definitions for the term collective. For instance the Merriam Webster dictionary (m-w.com) provides one definition as formed by collecting. Even the Oxford Dictionaries cited by the Examiner offers different definitions, such as taken as a whole. Applicant is not using the term to indicate A cooperative enterprise. Rather the juxtaposition of the term AWE with COLLECTIVE is to impart the message of a since of wonder [AWE] that the work product of projects of Applicant will imbue to the totality of the targeted audience that encounters Applicant's work product. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully rejects the position that Applicant is required to disclaim the term COLLECTIVE. |
