Request for Reconsideration after Final Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 88322332 HYDRASENSE(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/88322332/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the substantive refusal(s), please note the following:

HydraSense Trademark Usage HydraSense will be marketed as an individual product for pump manufacturers and HydraSense is the name that will be used in commerce to describe this individual product.
