`If the applicant is seeking registration under Section 1(b) and/or Section 44 of the Trademark Act, the applicant had a bona fide intention to use
`or use through the applicant's related company or licensee the mark in commerce on or in connection with the identified goods and/or services as
`of the filing date of the application. 37 C.F.R. Secs. 2.34(a)(2)(i); 2.34 (a)(3)(i); and 2.34(a)(4)(ii). If the applicant is seeking registration under
`Section 1(a) of the Trademark Act, the mark was in use in commerce on or in connection with the goods or services listed in the application as of
`the application filing date. 37 C.F.R. Secs. 2.34(a)(1)(i). The undersigned, being hereby warned that willful false statements and the like so made

`application or any resulting registration, declares that he/she is properly authorized to execute this application on behalf of the applicant; he/she
`believes the applicant to be the owner of the trademark/service mark sought to be registered, or, if the application is being filed under 15 U.S.C.
`§1051(b), he/she believes applicant to be entitled to use such mark in commerce; to the best of his/her knowledge and belief no other person,
`firm, corporation, or association has the right to use the mark in commerce, either in the identical form thereof or in such near resemblance
`thereto as to be likely, when used on or in connection with the goods/services of such other person, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to
`deceive; that if the original application was submitted unsigned, that all statements in the original application and this submission made of the
`declaration signer's knowledge are true; and all statements in the original application and this submission made on information and belief are
`believed to be true.
