To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 88240165 ACE(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/88240165/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the substantive refusal(s), please note the following:

RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION

 

Highlands Harris LLC.(“Applicant”) respectfully submits the following amendment and remarks in response to the Office Action dated 3/19/2019

 

AMENDMENT

Applicant submits the following amendment to the identification of services in International Class 003:

Please allow the change from:

DETERGENT FOR LAUNDRY, HOUSEHOLD AND INSTITUTIONAL USE

 

to the following:

 

DETERGENT FOR ATTIRE AND INSTITUTIONAL USE

 

REMARKS

 

The Examining Attorney has initially refused registration of Applicant's mark under Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), on the ground of likelihood of confusion and prior-filed applications with Registration Nos. 4854740, 79239754 and 87699579.

Application with Registration No. 79239754 has amended its application and does not seem to conflict with this Applicant's mark. Due to the more limiting change of the proposed amendment, Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration and withdrawal of the refusal.

Conclusion

For the foregoing reasons, Applicant submits that there is no likelihood of confusion between Applicant’s mark and the cited registrations. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney withdraw her refusal of registration and allow the application to proceed to publication.
