Dear Attorney Christopher Day,

 

I have examined this application and it requires amendment before I can proceed, which I can correct from my end with your approval.  In particular, you must add a disclaimer of the wording in the mark.

 

Applicant must disclaim the wording “SHOW” because it merely describes a feature of applicant’s goods and thus is an unregistrable component of the mark. Applicant should approve a disclaimer in the following standardized format: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SHOW” apart from the mark as shown.

 

If the situation is otherwise, please explain in your reply. Please note that I will take official action on this claim by April 25, 2019 if I do not hear back from you by that date.

 

Sincerely,

 

Alexandra El-Bayeh
