LITERAL ELEMENT MACAN
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)
This responds to the Office Action dated January 10, 2013, in which the Examining Attorney refused registration of the mark under Section 2(d) because he believes that Applicant's mark when viewed in connection with its goods is likely to cause confusion, cause mistake or to deceive with regard to the mark shown in U.S. Registration No. 3,921,928. Although the refusal of registration was not explicitly limited to the goods falling within International Class 14, when comparing Applicant's goods to the goods identified in Reg. No. 3,921,928, the Examining Attorney only referenced the goods in International Class 14. Therefore, Applicant is assuming that the refusal of registration only applies to International Class 14. Accordingly, Applicant has deleted the goods in International Class 14 from the application and will not present arguments as to the reasons why its mark is not likely to cause confusion with the mark identified in Reg. No. 3,921,928 with respect to each and every good and service within the remaining 26 classes in the application. However, if Applicant is mistaken and the refusal of registration applies to all 27 classes of goods and services, Applicant respectfully requests that it be notified of this fact and it will supplement this response prior to the 6 month deadline for response.

ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the substantive refusal(s), please note the following:

This responds to the Office Action dated January 10, 2013, in which the Examining Attorney refused registration of the mark under Section 2(d) because he believes that Applicant's mark when viewed in connection with its goods is likely to cause confusion, cause mistake or to deceive with regard to the mark shown in U.S. Registration No. 3,921,928. Although the refusal of registration was not explicitly limited to the goods falling within International Class 14, when comparing Applicant's goods to the goods identified in Reg. No. 3,921,928, the Examining Attorney only referenced the goods in International Class 14. Therefore, Applicant is assuming that the refusal of registration only applies to International Class 14. Accordingly, Applicant has deleted the goods in International Class 14 from the application and will not present arguments as to the reasons why its mark is not likely to cause confusion with the mark identified in Reg. No. 3,921,928 with respect to each and every good and service within the remaining 26 classes in the application. However, if Applicant is mistaken and the refusal of registration applies to all 27 classes of goods and services, Applicant respectfully requests that it be notified of this fact and it will supplement this response prior to the 6 month deadline for response.
