ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
Miscellaneous Statement
The Applicant states that the term "venn" is used in mathematics, mainly in the field of logic and probability, as in a Venn diagram. The common use of this definition is mainly in order to express relations between groups and a finite collection of different sets. It has no known meaning or significance in the industry in which the goods and/or services are manufactured/provided, is not a term of art within applicant's industry and does not identify a geographic place or has any meaning in a foreign language. It is a creative and perhaps suggestive use of the word related to assisting members to integrate diverse aspects of a person's life.
