Dear Trademark Examining Attorney Nehmer,
Thank you for your email. Please find our response below:

Subject: In Re Trademark Applications Serial Nos. 87914139 (RHINO BELT SQUAT) & 87916487 (ROGUE)
Dear Mr. DiSanto,
I am the trademark examining attorney assigned to the above-referenced trademark applications. The applications are in generally good shape, however, they each require some minor amendments. Specifically:
Serial No. 87914139 (RHINO BELT SQUAT)
· A disclaimer is required for the wording “BELT SQUAT” as it is merely descriptive of the goods
· The identification of goods needs to be amended to stipulate that the goods comprise “exercise equipment” – I suggest “Exercise equipment, namely, squat machines and belt squat machines.”
Serial No. 87916487 (ROGUE)
· The identification of goods is indefinite as to the wording “Exercise and fitness equipment” – the application must specify the particular type of equipment.
If you supply the necessary information for the goods, and accept the suggested amendments for the other application, I can make the necessary changes with a simple Examiner’s Amendment. I’ll need to know by Thursday or I’ll have to send an Office Action. Please let me know how you would like to proceed.
Best Regards,
/Jason R. Nehmer/
