Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections. Otherwise, no response is necessary. TMEP §707.

2(F) CLAIM BASED ON PRIOR REGISTRATION- IN PART
The following claim of acquired distinctiveness under Trademark Act Section 2(f) is added to the record:
The wording “AMERICAN CRAFT” in the mark has become distinctive of the goods as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S. Registration No. 1256826 on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar goods.
TMEP §1212.04(e); see 15 U.S.C. §1052(f); 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(1).
