APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED: In accordance with the authorization granted by Linda M. Dooley on 7/22/14, the trademark examining attorney has amended the application as indicated below. Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections. Otherwise, no response is necessary. TMEP §707.

The wording REDHOT in the mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services as evidenced by ownership of U.S. Registration No(s). 2389514 and 1572239 on the Principal Register for the same mark for related goods and/or services.
