Subject: Re: US PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE COMMUNICATION REGARDING APPLICATION SERIAL NO. 77899711 (Dig811)

Dear Ms. Settles:

The "Dig" portion of the mark is suggestive of excavation, as in excavating at construction sites.

The number "811" connotes a phone number that construction personnel can call before excavating at a construction site to find out if there are any buried, pipes, cables, or other utilities that need to be avoided.

Please note that the goods recited in the application are application software used on smart phones.

The Dig811 mark for which registration is sought is a coined mark consisting of a combination of a word part and a number part.

The Dig811 mark is, at most, suggestive of certain characteristics of the application software recited in the subject application, and the mark as a whole is not merely descriptive of the goods.

Sincerely,

Michael H. Jester
