MISCELLANEOUS STATEMENT
Applicant seeks registration of the words NATURALLY AGED FLOORING. Applicant does not claim color and/or the use of the words in an
arc and/or with the prefix M & J notwithstanding that the specimens include more than that which Applicant seeks to register. Thus as between the mark as indicated above and the specimen,
Applicant seeks registration of the word mark only, not in color and not in a stylized form. Applicant also notes that a Google(R) or other search of the word mark yields numerous results relating to
Applicant's wholly owned subsidiary thus further evidencing acquired distinctiveness under Section 2(f)
SECTION 2(f) Claim of Acquired Distinctiveness, based on Five or More Years' Use
The mark has become distinctive of the goods/services through the applicant's substantially exclusive and continuous use of the mark in
commerce that the U.S. Congress may lawfully regulate for at least the five years immediately before the date of this statement.
