Dear Mr. Clark:

 

I am the Trademark Examining Attorney at the United States Patent & Trademark Office assigned to your application for BASE CAMP JERKY (Serial #88358618).  I am writing to discuss the following requirement with you.

 

Disclaimer Required

The mark contains the wording “JERKY” and will need to be disclaimed.  This wording is descriptive of the goods at it is an exact match to the application’s entire identification of goods.  Therefore, “JERKY” is merely descriptive of the goods because it directly identifies the same.  The Office does not permit applicants to claim exclusive rights to descriptive terms in order to prevent the inhibition of competition, while also maintaining the freedom of the public to use these terms.  Please advise if you agree to the following statement being added to the record:

 

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

 

If you agree to the suggested change above, I can enter it for you by way of Examiner’s Amendment, and your application may proceed towards registration.  Thank you for your attention to this matter.  Should you have any questions, do not hesitate to contact me.

 

Sincerely,

Jared M. Mason
