Thank you for the response. I will enter the change as agreed.
In terms of your supplemental request regarding the “FLOW” nickname, you may, in your own time, refer to this graphical logo with any nickname you’d like.
But in terms of this actual federal registration that you are seeking, you will not be able to get any rights in the mark beyond the image itself. In other words, if/when this becomes a federal registration, your trademark will be for the image you filed as the mark drawing and it will not include any supplemental nickname, such as FLOW. The mark description is merely there to give a simply verbal description of what is plainly visible – not any legal or interpretive information, such a nickname or an intended perception.
But again, if that is what you want to call your logo (or have your customers call your logo), the fact that the wording FLOW is not part of your trademark does not prevent you from calling this your FLOW logo. That’s entirely your call.
Regards,
Ben

Hello Oneil Wright and Keith Wright,0
I am the trademark examiner for the above captioned file. I am writing to propose certain changes that would resolve outstanding issues and would allow me to move this trademark application forward. They are as follows:
COLOR CLAIM and MARK DESCRIPTION
I am proposing the following amended mark description and color claim:
Mark Description: The mark consists of a stylized letter “O” that is formed by many much smaller solid blue circles.
Color Claim: The color blue is claimed as a feature of the mark.
Your current description does not actually describe the mark and the current color claim unnecessarily includes white even though there are no white elements, only a white background.
ENTITY
I am proposing that we correct your entity to: OXii Inc, a Georgia Corporation
Oneil Wright and Keith Wright are not corporations themselves (which is what is written currently) - they are individual people, who most likely are the owners or controllers of the corporation.
If these changes are acceptable, please just respond back with your authorization. Please ensure that any reply email includes both your names in the signature block.
If I do not hear back from this email within 3 business days, I will instead have to issue an Office Action. Please feel free to contact me to discuss or if you have any questions. Thank you very much for your attention to this matter.
Regards,
Ben
