`
`Attn: BOX POST REG (NO FEE)
`
`Sir:
`
`HUGO BOSS AG is a stock company duly organized under the laws of the
`
`Federal Republic of Germany, located and doing business at Dieselstrasse 12, 72555 Metzingen,
`
`Federal Republic of Germany.
`
`The ab0ve—identified Registrant respectfully requests, pursuant to 15 U.S.C.
`
`§1057(g), that a new Certificate of Registration be issued. There is a mistake in the mark as
`
`shown in the Certificate.
`
`In the first use of the word HUGO, the tops of the letters G and 0
`
`have been cropped. Registrant submits herewith the original Certificate of Registration for
`
`Registration No. 1,891,134 for correction.
`
`In support of its Request, Registrant submits herewith a copy of the formal
`
`drawing filed with the Application for Trademark Registration (assigned Serial No. 74/401,935)
`
`wherein the mark is shown with completely formed letters. As the Trademark Office records
`
`

`
`clearly show the mark in its proper format, Registrant believes the error in drawing of the mark
`
`in the Certificate lies with the Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`Registrants believe there is no fee due, as the error, in this instance, was made
`
`by the Trademark Office. Should a fee be required, please charge our deposit account, No. 03-
`
`3370.
`
`Registrants request favorable and timely action on their Request. Please forward
`
`the new Certificate of Registration to the undersigned attorney of record.

`Attn: Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`
`Dear Sir:
`
`Brookhurst, Inc, a corporation of the State of California, located and doing business at
`
`107 West Carob Street, Compton, California 90220, hereby petitions the Commissioner of
`
`Patents and Trademarks to extend the time for the petitioner to file a Notice of Opposition to
`
`the above—identified trademark for a period of thirty (30) days from August 15, 1994 to

`September 14, 1994.
`
`Petitioner and Applicant are currently involved in a civil lawsuit regarding each party’s
`
`respective trademark rights. Due to the complexity of the litigation, additional time is needed

`subject mark and to determine if the institution of an opposition is necessary. This request is
`
`made in good faith and not for the purpose of unnecessary delay.
