ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
Color Claim
The color(s) light green, dark green, and white is/are claimed as a feature of the mark.

Description of mark
The mark consists of dark green rectangle design that has slightly more than half of a dark green circle arising from the center of its top edge. Within the rectangular part of this design is the white, stylized wording "ARIFOGLU", which has a short white line over the letter "G". Within the circular part of the design is a light green, stylized outline of a mortar and pestle, which has a single, disconnected light green leaf over the right side of the mortar and to the right of the upper portion of the pestle. A thin dark green line also borders the entire design, and is separated from the rest of the design by a somewhat thicker white line that is located just inside this dark green border line, and also traces the shape of the entire design. The unenclosed white space appearing in the drawing, but which has not previously been referenced, is merely background and is not claimed as a feature of the mark.
