| MARK STATEMENT |
The mark consists of standard characters, without claim to any particular font style, size or color. |
| ARGUMENT(S) |
| The Examining Attorney has refused to register Applicant's mark based on a prior registration for the mark COMFY HOME CONNECTION, Reg. No. 4823861.
However, Applicant's use of COMFY predates the use and application filing date of COMFY HOME CONNECTION. Therefore, the registered mark should not bar registration of Applicant's mark. Applicant is
in contact with the registrant of COMFY HOME CONNECTION and expects to be able to provide further information very soon. If necessary, Applicant requests that the Examining Attorney use his
discretion to suspend this Application briefly, so that Applicant can complete its discussions with the registrant. |
