`The "Validate Form" function allows you to run an automated check to ensure that all mandatory fields
`have been completed. You will receive an "error" message if you have not filled in one of the fields
`that are considered mandatory. For other fields that the USPTO believes are important, but not
`mandatory, you will receive a "warning" message if the field is left blank. This warning is a courtesy, if
`non-completion was merely an oversight. If you so choose, you may by-pass that "warning” message

`COMMUNICATION:
`REQUEST FOR CERTIFICATE OF REGISTRATION

`
`a Certificate of

`1992,
`On October 16,
`Registration for ERGOMAT (AND DESIGN), Reg. No. 1,719,491,

`on September
`22,

`that

`re1ate to any client matter at Litman Law
`Offices, Ltd.,
`I proceeded to send the Certificate of Registration
`to the attorney for the registrant Basic Designs,

`Edward S. Wright.
`
`the
`Later, after carefu11y observing the photocopy made of
`Certificate of Registration which I had sent
`to Mr. wright, my
`co11eagues and I noticed that
`the outer jacket actua11y had the
`registration number 1,718,491, whereas
`the
`inner certificate
`featuring the drawing of
`the mark had the registration number
`1,719,491. Upon investigating the matter, we discovered that Reg.
`No. 1,718,491 is the registration for SHAHRZAD (AND DESIGN) and
`beiongs to our c1ient, Basmati Rice Imports Inc.
`
`After various communications with personne1 in the Patent and
`Trademark Office,
`the object of which was
`to obtain a correct
`Certificate of Registration for SHAHRZAD (AND DESIGN),
`I
`am now
`writing in the hope that this matter can be straightened out and
