United States Trademark Application Serial No. 88325965
Dear Michael,
I am the assigned trademark examining attorney for the above-referenced application. The application will be ready to move forward once the applicant agrees to disclaim the wording “SELF-PUBLISHING”.
For clarification about what a “disclaimer” means: This wording is descriptive of the applied-for goods or services in your application. An applicant may not claim exclusive rights to terms or designs that others may need to use to describe or show their goods or services in the marketplace. A disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the mark; that is, a disclaimer does not physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark. For additional information, please see http://www.gov.uspto.report/trademark/laws-regulations/how-satisfy-disclaimer-requirement
If applicant agrees to the disclaimer, I can modify the application via examiner’s amendment and move it forward towards publication.
Please let me know by phone or email if you agree to allow me to correct the above by an examiner's amendment or if you have any questions about the application as soon as possible.
Kind regards,
Elaine Xu
Trademark Examining Attorney
