Dear Counsel,

 

I am examining the above-referenced trademark application.  There is one issue, and I am writing to see if we can resolve it by agreement.  In particular, the wording “TEETHING TREE” must be disclaimed because it is descriptive of the goods identified in the application.  A disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the mark.  The standardized format for a disclaimer is the addition of the following statement to the record:   

 

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “TEETHING TREE” apart from the mark as shown.

 

Would you let me know whether the applicant would agree to entry of the disclaimer?  If we are able to resolve this issue by the end of the day on Tuesday, October 16, I can enter the disclaimer on my end so the application can proceed.

 

I look forward to hearing from you.

 

Very truly yours,

Jeanine
