[E-trademarks] Registration of Same Mark by Sister Companies

[Scott Landsbaum]

Hello Listmates, I am a little puzzled about the correct document to file
with the examiner in the following situation:

Client directly owns two sister companies A and B.  Each company registered
Mark in different but related classes.  Unfortunately, company A allowed
its registration to expire and had to apply for a new registration for
Mark.  The examiner is citing company B's registration in refusing company
A's re-application.  To overcome this refusal, is it enough to file a
document stating that company A and B are under common control, or do I
need to state that one company is the licensee of the other, or even file a
co-existence agreement?

Client has its reasons for setting it up this way, so reorganizing the
ownership of each registration isn't on the table.

Thanks.

Regards,
Scott
