<p class="MsoNormal">Hypo: applicant has been selling its cowboy
hats in a booth located in a general gift shop. Applicant’s has
signage promoting its cowboy hats prominently displayed above
the booth. The hats are made by others. If someone wants to
purchase a hat, they purchase it at the gift store register. Is
the applicant providing “retail store services featuring cowboy
hats” in IC 035? Would it make a difference if the applicant
accepted payment at the booth rather than having the customer go
through the gift shop register? What it the applicant has no
one onsite at the booth? If the applicant provides a means for
the customer to view and purchase the goods and arranges for the
processing of payment by the gift shop is that enough? <o:p></o:p></p>
