[E-trademarks] Determining Whether Specimen Matches Drawing Based on Line Breaks

[voyer@keganlaw.com]

Hard to start an opinion without knowing the mark, the specimen, and perhaps most importantly
when mark is a person’s name, the description of the applied-for services. John Smith could
substitute for real client’s name, if you wanted.

People have walked up to her on the street calling her this name. My client's website where she sells products has the mark in the corner. Her handle on social media is her mark. She does a good bit of her videos sharing client testimonials. For her speaking engagements, she uses the mark with a hashtag. I gave a good bit of social media posts as specimen with her using the mark as her handle and promoting her services and products online. I'm confused about the office action.
