Hello Ms. Vallone,

 

I am checking in on your progress with contacting your client regarding the disclaimer for the wording “SPORTING GOODS ASSOCIATION”. Internal Office deadlines require that I send an Office action addressing this issue early this week, which as you know will delay publication. Please let me know by C.O.B. tomorrow Tuesday January 14 if you client can agree to the disclaimer or I will be required to send the Office actions. Thank you for your time and please let me know if you have any questions.

 

Best,

 

Joe
