ARGUMENT(S) | |
RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION In response to the Office Action dated September 23, 2019, the Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration of the application. The Office states the drawing of the mark differs from the use on the specimen, and thus, does not show the mark in commerce. The Applicant respectfully disagrees. Although the Applicant contends the originally submitted specimen does show use of the proposed mark, the Applicant is submitting a new specimen to support its application. The new specimen is a screenshot of the website and course materials that would be viewed by someone utilizing the services. The Applicant contends that the substitute specimens more clearly show use of the proposed mark DOLLAR in association with the identified services. The Applicant states that the new specimen was in use at least as early as the filing date of the application. The Applicant believes that all the outstanding issues are now resolved. Accordingly, the Applicant respectfully requests the mark be passed to publication. |
