`
`Sir:
`'
`
`~
`Apple Computer, |nc., a Delaware corporation, having its principal place of
`
`business at 1 Infinite Loop, Cupertino, California 95014, by and through its attorneys
`
`hereby requests that the Board grant a sixty (60) day extension of time to file a Notice
`
`of Opposition to registration of the APPLE AWARDS trademark by applicant in the
`
`above-referenced case. The opposition period is presently set to expire
`
`20339/00000/SF/5066978.1
`
`
`
`
`
`January 23, 2001, and the requested extension of time would re-set the opposition
`
`deadline to March 24, 2001 for Apple Computer, Inc.
`
`This request is not made for the purpose of unduly delaying proceedings
`
`in the Patent and Trademark Office. Applicant has requested an amendment to its
`
`application, which amendment, if accepted, would avoid further opposition proceedings.

`The foregoing extension is sought to allow the Board an opportunity to consider
`
`Applicant's request to amend its application. We believe that this constitutes good
`
`cause for the request.
`
`Dennis Smith, owner of Applicant, consented to this request in a
`
`telephone conversation with the undersigned on January 17, 2002.
`
`This request is being submitted in triplicate as required by 37 C.F.R.
