Response to Office Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 97088631 THE NORTH FACE THE NORTH FACE (Stylized and/or with Design, see http://tmng-al.uspto.gov /resting2/api/img/9708863 1/large) has been amended as follows:

MARK
Applicant proposes to amend the mark as follows:
Current: THE NORTH FACE THE NORTH FACE (Stylized and/or with Design, see http://tmng-al.uspto.gov /resting2/api/img/9708863 1/large)
Proposed: THE NORTH FACE THE NORTH FACE (Stylized and/or with Design, see mark)
The applicant is not claiming color as a feature of the mark.
The mark consists of a three-dimensional configuration of a garment featuring a combination of the following elements that are alike in color and contrast with the main color of the rest of the garment, namely: (a) a high-necked collar; (b) a section beginning on the upper back, continuing over the top of the shoulders, and terminating at the midsection with vertical outer seams at the seams of the arm-holes; (c) the literal element "The North Face" and a half-dome logo design in a contrasting color placed above the left breast and on the back of the right shoulder; and (d) a section beginning at the wrist and continuing up the back of the forearm, terminating above the elbow. The elements shown in broken lines are intended solely to indicate the positioning of the mark and are not part of the mark.

ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS
Miscellaneous Statement
Applicant believes that its mark cannot be adequately depicted in a single rendition. It therefore filed a Petition to the Director on June 27, 2022, to request that the requirement to provide a single rendition of the mark be waived.
