`
`registrant, however, two registrations will be required to be maintained.
`
`Dear Mr. Lipstein:
`On November 4, 1994, you requested a certificate of correction concerning Trademark
`Registration No. 1,853,630, pursuant to Section 7 ofthe Trademark Act and Trademark Rule
`2.174. Specifically, the registration issued with the identification ofgoods for International Class
`16 recited as "Plastic bubble packs for wrapping or packaging; plastic bags, paper pouches, paper
`envelopes, papers bags, blister cards, packing paper, all for packaging; and packaging materials
`made of plastic, paper, or cardboard," rather than:
`Statione writin utensils namel
`ens and encils; plastic bubble packs for wrapping
`or packaging; plastic bags, paper pouches, paper envelopes, paper bags, blister cards,
`packing paper, all for packaging; and packaging materials made of plastic, paper, or
`cardboard, adhesive labels, and playing cards in International Class 16.
`The certificate of correction may not be issued because, due to the above-described clerical error,
`the mark did not publish for opposition pursuant to Section 12(a) ofthe Trademark Act with the
`correct information.
`
`Re: Trademark Registration No. 1,853,630
`For: HUGO HUGO BOSS
`
`The registrant may choose either ofthe following options: (1) keep the registration as issued; (2)
`request that the Commissioner cancel the registration as inadvertently issued and restore it to
`pending application status for publication ofthe mark with the correct information; or (3) keep
`the registration as issued and request that the Commissioner have a child application for the
`omitted goods in Class 16, and publish the child application for opposition.
`Ifregistration is not opposed, or following the dismissal ofany opposition filed, a certificate of
`registration will issue. Please note that the child application will be created at no charge to the
`
`

`If we do not receive a response from you within thirty days ofthe mailing date ofthis letter,~we

`issued, will be returned to you.

`Dear Sir:
`
`Request for New Certificate of Registration Under
`27 CFR 2.174 for Registration No. 1,853,630
`HUGO HUGO BOSS
`
`In accordance with 37 CFR 2.174, Registrant requests a new Certificate of
`Registration for its Registration No. 1,853,630 for the mark HUGO HUGO BOSS in Class
`16.
`
`The description of goods on the current Certificate of Registration is
`incorrect. The description of goods should read:
`
`‘
`
`stationery, writing utensils; namely, pens and pencils; plastic bubble packs
`for wrapping or packaging; plastic bags, paper pouches, paper envelopes,
`paper bags, blister cards, packing papers, all for packaging; and packaging
`materials made of plastic, paper, or cardboard, adhesive labels, and playing
`cards in International Class 16.
`
`
`
`The original Certificate of Registration is enclosed along with a copy of the
`_
`application as filed, and of the Response filed January 31, 1994 Which amended the
`original description of goods.
`
`Please issue a new Certificate of Registration as of the original issue date,
`v September 13, 1994. Since the need for a new Certificate is the result of a mistake by the
`Trademark Office, no fee is necessary.
