EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
Issue date: November 12, 2019

Application has been amended as shown below. As agreed to by Sarah M. Robertson on November 12, 2019, the examining attorney has amended the application as shown below. Please notify the examining attorney immediately of any objections. TMEP §707. Otherwise, no response is required. Id. In addition, applicant is advised that amendments to the goods and/or services are permitted only if they clarify or limit them; amendments that add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a).
Amendment – Claim of Acquired Distinctiveness via Section 2(f):
Applicant amends the application to assert a claim of acquired distinctiveness under Trademark Act Section 2(f) based on ownership of active U.S. Registration No(s). 1509706. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(f); TMEP §§1212.04 et seq.
The mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S. Registration No. 1509706 on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar goods and/or services.
TMEP §1212.04(e); see 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(1).
