Remarks for Office Action
This communication is in response to the Office Action mailed December 14, 2018, with respect to the above-identified application. Please reconsider the rejection in view of the amendments and arguments set forth below.
The undersigned gratefully acknowledges that a search has been made and that no marks have been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).
Submitted herewith is an amendment requesting registration on the Supplemental Register. The Office Action notes on page 2 that such an amendment is not appropriate in this case, asserting the application was filed based on intent-to-use Section 1(b). However, this is believed to be in error, and the application was in-fact filed based on use under Section 1(a). For these reasons, favorable consideration is respectfully requested.
Conclusion In view of all of the foregoing, Applicant respectfully requests that the informalities in the Office Action have been addressed, and that this mark be passed to publication. If the Examining Attorney believes that personal communication will expedite prosecution of this application, the Trademark Attorney is invited to telephone the undersigned at (734) 302-6011. Attorneys for Applicant are available to discuss any questions or issues raised by this Response and to assist the Trademark Attorney in any other way. |

The undersigned gratefully acknowledges that a search has been made and that no marks have been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).
In the
above-identified Office Action, the Trademark Attorney has refused registration

applied-for mark merely describes a feature of the applicant’s good and/or
services.
Submitted herewith is an amendment requesting registration on the Supplemental Register. The Office Action notes on page 2 that such an amendment is not appropriate in this case, asserting the application was filed based on intent-to-use Section 1(b).
