`
`AMENDMENT TO THE SPECIFICATION
`
`Please delete the following statementsfrom the originally submitted specification:
`
`
`
`
`
`Appl. No.: 35/513,346
`Reply to Ex Parte Quayle Action mailed on November 29, 2022
`
`Applicant hereby responds to the objection(s) made by the Examiner in the Ex Parte
`
`REMARKS
`
`Quayle Action.
`
`Objection to the Specification
`
`In page 2 of the Ex Parte Quayle Action, the specification is objected, and the Office
`
`indicated that the following statements should be deleted from the specification.
`
`¥ “4 circumferential grooves are partitioning the pattern into 5 tracks and
`lateral grooves are partitioning the pattern into the blocks; additional
`shallow cuts are used in geometry of each block.”
`
`¥ “Application for overall protection for industrial design(s) as shown and
`described.”
`
`In response, the specification has been amendedto delete the Office’s noted statements
`
`from the originally filed specification. Accordingly, Applicant
`
`respectfully requests the
`
`objection of the specification be withdrawn.
`
`
`
`Appl. No.: 35/513,346
`Reply to Ex Parte Quayle Action mailed on November 29, 2022
`
`Accordingly, allowance of the present application and the sole claim therein are
`
`Conclusion
`
`respectfully requested.
`
`It is submitted that all of the pending issues have been addressed. However, the absence
`
`of a reply to a specific rejection,
`
`issue or comment does not signify agreement with or
`
`concession of that rejection, issue or comment.
`
`In addition, because the arguments made above
`
`may not be exhaustive, there may be reasons for patentability of the design claim that have not
`
`been expressed. Finally, nothing in this reply should be construed as an intention to concede any
`
`issue with regard to any claim, except as specifically stated in this reply, and the amendment of
`
`any claim does not necessarily signify concession of unpatentability of the design claim prior to
`
`its amendment. Accordingly, entry of the amendments and allowance of the claim are
`
`respectfully requested.
`
`Should the Examinerbelieve that anything further would be beneficial in order to place
`
`this application in even better condition for examination and allowance, the Examineris invited
`
`to contact Applicant’s undersigned representatives at the telephone numberlisted below.
