ARGUMENT(S) | |
The examining attorney has refused registration stating the term [horse] splint boots is overly broad. Splint boots are a term of art well known and used in the equestrian field. In Applicant's
definition of goods splint boots are prefaced by "equine equipment in the nature of ... boots for horses, namely, ... splint boots". As narrowly defined by the Applicant the term splint boots would
not encompass more than one class.
Attached to this response are two articles and two sales websites evidencing the use of the term splint boots with the equine industry.
Respectfully, Applicant requests the refusal be withdrawn and the application passed to publication.
