Subject: [EXTERNAL]Examiner's amendment suggested - U.S. Trademark Application Serial Nos. 88033097 ("ELLIE SUGAR") and 88048808 ("ELLIE SUGAR")
Dear Ms. Kearney,
I have reviewed U.S. Trademark Application Serial Nos. 88033097 ("ELLIE SUGAR") and 88048808 ("ELLIE SUGAR") and will be able to approve them for publication, if you are able to approve an Examiner’s Amendment to clarify whether the name “ELLIE SUGAR” identifies a particular living individual.
If the name doesn’t identify a particular living individual, with your authorization, I can enter the following statement into the record for both applications:
The name shown in the mark does not identify a particular living individual.
Please note that if “ELLIE SUGAR” does identify a particular living individual, I will have to issue an Office action to require a name consent from the named individual.
Please respond by close of business on Monday, November 5, 2018 and indicate if the Examiner’s Amendment is acceptable for both applications. Please feel free to contact me if you have any questions.
Best,
Sandra
