NO CONFLICTING REGISTERED MARKS

SUMMARY OF REFUSAL(S) / REQUIREMENT(S):
• Claim of Ownership – Do Not Print
Applicant must respond to the following requirement(s) set forth below.
CLAIM OF OWNERSHIP – DO NOT PRINT
Applicant’s claim of ownership of U.S. Registration Nos. 5146995, 5358170, 4871406, and others will not be printed on any registration that may issue from this application because the marks are different. Only prior registrations of the same or similar marks are considered related registrations for purposes of an ownership claim. See 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812. The claimed registrations have additional distinctive material which makes the marks different than the applied-for mark.
