I have a client who received a likelihood of confusion refusal as to 1 of their 3 Classes of goods/services in an intent-to-use application. Since filing, my client has begun using the mark for the affected Class, but has not filed an Allegation of Use. Do
we need to file an Allegation of Use prior to responding to the refusal if the response will include evidence of how the mark is being used for said Class?</div>
