Responsive to the Office Action dated March 5, 2012, the

REMARKS
Applicant is pleased to note that the Examining
Attorney’s search of the Office records uncovered no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). However, the
Examining Attorney has raised a couple of informalities, which Applicant addresses below. Accordingly, Applicant believes that the Application is now in a position
for suspension pending issuance of the home country registration.
A. Identification of Goods/Services
The Examining Attorney has taken the position that
certain wording in Applicant’s identification is not sufficiently definite and has required amendment thereof. Accordingly, by amendment hereinabove, Applicant has
amended the identification, adopting the suggestions of the Examining Attorney, further specifying the commercial or generic names for the goods and services.
B. Foreign Registration Certificate
The Examining Attorney noted the Applicant’s dual filing basis, namely a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce under Trademark Act Section
1(b), 15 U.S.C. Section 1051(b), and claiming priority under Section 44(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1126(d), based on a foreign application.
Applicant wishes to maintain the dual filing basis, and advises that the foreign application upon which this application is based in part is
still pending. A certified copy or photocopy of the home country registration certificate will be provided to the Examining Attorney upon issuance.
Accordingly, it is submitted that the present
application is fully in condition for suspension pending issuance of the home country registration. Further
and favorable action suspending the application is earnestly solicited.
The Commissioner is hereby expressly authorized to charge any fee deficiency, or credit any overpayment, in connection with this matter to Deposit
Account No. 14-0112. Should the Examining Attorney have any further questions, please contact the undersigned at (703) 548-6284.
