Hi Ms. Levitt,

 

In regards to the above-captioned trademark applications, I need an amended mark description. This is the only issue in all three applications, and I can take care of it my Examiner’s Amendment if so authorized.

 

You mention that the design features a “solid black arch”, but generally, color cannot be mentioned in a mark description with no accompanying color claim; additionally, color cannot be claimed in marks depicted in grayscale (i.e., black, white, and gray) on the drawing of record.

 

Here is my proposed mark description: The mark consists of a stylized, generally unshaded block letter “T”, which is broken apart by a solid shaded arch design.

 

Please review and advise whether I can make the change by Examiner’s Amendment in all three files. If I don’t hear back by the end of the day, I will send an Office action, but you can always reach out by phone or email to take care of the requirement by Examiner’s Amendment and expedite approval of your marks.

 

Thank you,

 

John S. Miranda
