Dear Mr. Van Den Abeelen,

 

Thank you for your messages, and my apologies for the delayed response.

We have now heard back from our client, who has approved of your proposed amendments, namely, amending the Class 16 identification of goods to “Collectable printed trading cards” and entering the disclaimer of the word “MEME.” 

 

We believe that is all that you need, but please don’t hesitate to contact me if you need anything else or have any questions.

 

Many thanks for your help!

 

Best regards,

Ela

Hi Ms. Baio,

 

I am the trademark examining attorney assigned to Trademark Application Serial No. 90250947.  I have reviewed the application and I would like your permission to make the following suggested amendments:

 

1. Disclaimer Statement – I would like to add the following statement to the record:

 

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “MEME” apart from the mark as shown.

 

2. Identification of Goods – If accurate, the identification in Class 16 can be amended to:

 

Collectable printed trading cards

 

If you agree, you may respond to this email and give me permission to make these amendments.  If you have any questions or would like to discuss these amendments, please give me a call at my direct phone number below.

 

To expedite the examination process and to avoid the need for a formal Office action, please contact me by Wednesday, March 17th.

 

Thank you for your cooperation.

 

Regards,
