MISCELLANEOUS STATEMENT |
Applicant adopts the description of goods suggested by the Examining Attorney, although it is not believed by Applicant to be accurate. The
goods retain the shoelaces by enclosing and therefore locking the knots against untying. Applicant views the shoelaces as the "fasteners" and believes that the noun "retainers" more accurately
describes the goods. The goods retain the fasteners -- the shoelaces. However, if the Examining Attorney believes the public will be better informed by the proposed description, Applicant accepts
that assessment. |
