Mr. Kesten,

 

I would like to clarify whether your client is agreeing to disclaim the wording “BASH” in the mark BANG BASH.  There is a sentence at the end of the email that states that the client does not agree to the disclaimer.

 

Thank you,

 

Monica Reid

Good afternoon Attorney Kesten,

 

I am the Trademark Examining Attorney assigned to the above captioned matters and hope to resolve three issues by Examiner’s Amendment.

 

BANG BASH – Serial No. 88463185

 

A disclaimer is required for the wording “BASH”, as this wording is descriptive of a characteristic of applicant’s services.  The required disclaimer statement reads as follows: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “BASH” apart from the mark as shown.

 

STRAWBERRY BLONDE – Serial No. 88467883

 

A disclaimer is required for the wording “STRAWBERRY”, as this wording is descriptive of a characteristic of applicant’s goods.  The required disclaimer statement reads as follows: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “STRAWBERRY” apart from the mark as shown.

 

SOUR HEADS – Serial No. 88480262

 

A disclaimer is required for the wording “SOUR”, as this wording is descriptive of a characteristic of applicant’s goods.  The required disclaimer statement reads as follows: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SOUR” apart from the mark as shown.

 

Please let me know if your client is in agreement with the required disclaimer statements by Thursday, August 29, 2019.  If no response is received by this time, an Office action will issue.  If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me by email or telephone at 571-270-3961.

 

Respectfully,

 

Monica Reid
