Good afternoon, Ms. Wood.
I am the trademark examining attorney at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office assigned to these six applications.
I have reviewed them and have found a few issues that we can handle through Examiner’s Amendments.
First, I am requiring a disclaimer of “JAPAN” as to all six marks due to the geographically descriptive nature of the word.
Second, for the Class 25 and Class 41 IDs, there are a few small edits that I am requiring.
