Attorney Kim:

 

I am contacting you regarding your client Yodeler, LLC’s application to register the mark 88204581 - STRIPES ATHLETICS with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).  I am the USPTO Trademark Examining Attorney who has been assigned to review your application.

 

Specifically, I am requesting your authorization to add the following disclaimer statement to the record, as the wording “ATHLETICS” appears to be descriptive/generic in the context of the identified goods:

 

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

 

With your authorization to make these changes, I may proceed with approving this application for publication in the Official Gazette. 

 

Please respond by close of business on Friday, Mar. 1, 2019 if you wish to proceed via Examiner’s Amendment; if you need more time, please let me know and I may issue an Office Action addressing this requirement.

 

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me via e-mail or at the phone number below. 

 

Regards,

 

/Dustin Bednarz/
