Docket # GT-1414-US-1
Dear Ms. Hsieh,
I am the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office examining attorney assigned to Application Serial No. 88660422 G PAY. I have reviewed the application and the mark is almost ready for publication; however, there is an issue that need to be addressed before the application can proceed, and this issue can be resolved by return email or over the phone:
Specifically, the term “PAY” needs to be disclaimed because it is descriptive of the goods and services, namely, they are meant to be used for payment. I suggest the following, if accurate:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “PAY” apart from the mark as shown.
With your authorization, I would be happy to enter the suggested changes for you.
If you would like me to make these changes for you today to avoid a refusal of registration, just reply to this email with "OK."
Please email me at your earliest convenience if you would like to resolve the issue(s) by email. Alternatively, you can give me a call at 571-270-0348 if you would like to resolve this issue over the phone. You can also respond to this email or leave a voice message responding to the inquiry.
