EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 4/3/2019
DATABASE SEARCH: The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED: In accordance with the authorization granted by Charles Smouse on April 3, 2019, the trademark examining attorney has amended the application as indicated below.
DISCLAIMER ADDED
The following disclaimer statement is added to the record:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “EMERGENCY ON GEORGIA” and “HEALTHCARE SYSTEM” apart from the mark as shown.
See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.08(a)(i).
2(f) CLAIM OF ACQUIRED DISTINCTIVENESS IN PART
The words “NORTHWEST TEXAS” in the mark has become distinctive of the services as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S. Registration Nos. 2909860 and 4457741 on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar services.
TMEP §1212.04(e); see 15 U.S.C. §1052(f); 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(1).
Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections. Otherwise, no response is necessary. TMEP §707. Any amendments to the identification of goods and/or services may clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but may not add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq.
