<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:#1F3864">I’m reviewing a full search for mark [JESSIE] for [pens and pencils]. The search report turned up some links to sites of foreign companies that show JESSI (NO “E”) used on a single
pencil product, manufactured by X. It looks like I can order that pencil on one of those foreign sites and get it shipped to the U.S. I can’t find this product online anywhere except on those few foreign sites.
