Subject: U.S. Trademark No. 88308689 KIA SERVICE PROMISE TO CARE
Dear Mr. Lazouski,
I am following up from my earlier voicemail. The above referenced trademark application requires the following amendments:
UNITY OF CONTROL
The applicant, Kia Motors Corporation, owns Kia Motors America, Inc. in its entirety.
See TMEP §1207(b)(i)
DISCLAIMER REQUIRED
The following disclaimer statement is added to the record:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SERVICE” apart from the mark as shown.
See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.08(a)(i).
MARK DESCRIPTION – AMENDMENT
The following description of the mark replaces the current description of record:
The mark consists of “KIA" in red within a single line oval in red, a grey vertical line and the wording "SERVICE" in grey and "PROMISE TO CARE" in grey to the right located one under the other. The color white represents the background area and is not a feature of the mark.
See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.72; TMEP §§808 et seq.
Please let me know how the applicant would like to proceed or if you have any questions. If the applicant agrees to these changes I can enter them via Examiner’s Amendment. Thank you for your time.
Best,
Sarah
