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

Please let me know if this amendment is acceptable. If so I will issue an Examiner’s Amendment, make the changes to the application and move the application forward. If the amendment is not acceptable or if you have further questions, please feel free to email me at: colleen.dombrow@uspto.gov
