Dear Mr. Hiebert,
I am the examining attorney assigned to review the above-referenced trademark application on behalf of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. I have reviewed the application and determined that a disclaimer of “LIFE” is required because it is descriptive of the “life insurance” services in the identification of services. A disclaimer does not physically remove the word from the mark but will add the following statement to the registration: No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “LIFE” apart from the mark as shown.
For more information about disclaimers, click here: http://tmep.gov.uspto.report/RDMS/TMEP/current#/result/TMEP-1200d1e11717.html?q=disclaimer&ccb=on&ncb=off&icb=off&fcb=off&ver=current&syn=adj&results=compact&sort=relevance&cnt=10
If you would like to have the changes entered by examiner's amendment, please let me know on or before close of business on November 21, 2019. If you have any questions, feel free to call or email.
Kind regards,
