Dear Mr. Foye:  

 

I hope this email finds you well. I am the examining attorney assigned to the above-referenced application and have a disclaimer issue we may be able to resolve via Examiner’s Amendment before moving the application forward.

 

DISCLAIMER

 

The wording “STUDIO” must be disclaimed, as this is descriptive of the custom design function of the software.  The following disclaimer statement is suggested:

 

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

 

With your authorization to do so, I can add the disclaimer via Examiner’s Amendment.  Please let me know by TUESDAY, MARCH 26 if you have any questions, and if the above option is acceptable.  If I have not heard from you by then, I will move forward with an Office Action formalizing the above issue.

 

Best,

Andrew
