Response to Office Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 88505192 DICHTOMATIK(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/88505192/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the substantive refusal(s), please note the following:

This communication responds to the Office Action issued on September 28, 2019 in connection with the subject application. Reconsideration is respectfully requested in light of the following amendments and remarks. Section 2(d) Refusal ? The subject application was preliminarily refused in Class 17 based on a perceived likelihood of confusion with Registration No. 2623007 for DICHTOMATIK owned by Dichtomatik Vertriebsgesellschaft fur Technische Dichtungen mbH. Applicant has assigned the subject application to Dichtomatik Vertriebsgesellschaft fur Technische Dichtungen mbH. Consequently, because the subject application and the cited registration are now owned by the same entity, the citation is no longer warranted. The assignment was recorded with the USPTO at Reel/Frame 6858/0019 on February 6, 2020. A copy of the Notice of Recordation of Assignment Document is submitted herewith. Foreign Registration Certificate ? Applicant submits herewith the Certificate of Registration for EU Registration No. 018016745 for the mark in support of the Section 44(e) basis. Description of Goods and Services ? Applicant has amended the description of goods and services as requested by the Examining Attorney. Applicant notes that much of the amended wording is the same as the wording recently adopted by Applicant and accepted by the USPTO in connection with Registration No. 5,707,055 issued March 26, 2019 for the trademark SEVENTOMATIC (see TESS printout). In light of the foregoing, Applicant believes the application is now in condition for publication. Formal notice in that regard is respectfully requested.
