ARGUMENT(S) | |
The Examining Attorney has objected to certain aspects of the description of goods. The Applicant, through the undersigned, respectfully submits that the description should be accepted as it stands. In this regard, it notes that the description for this application is identical to that reflected in its Application No. 86136539 for the mark ZANPLUS, which was published for opposition and currently is under a Notice of Allowance. The Applicant also respectfully submits that the USPTO rarely has required a disclaimer as to the term "duo" with respect to pharmaceuticals and related goods in International Class 5. Attached is evidence to this effect in the form of TESS records. Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully request that the Examiner reconsider the disclaimer requirement. |
