Quick question for you IP attorneys if the website and store front sign says “abc fresh market” and if you are filing the mark under currently using base do you have to file the full make or can you just file an application for “abc”. Will the examiner have an issue since the mark displayed on site and retail shows the full name “abc fresh market “ or since it’s descriptive you can file for just “abc” NOTE I AM USING ABC AS AN EXAMPLE

Not legal advice. Could totally see the Examiner refusing the specimen. You should file how the client is using. So if the client is using as ABC FRESH MARKET then that’s how you should file. Will likely require a disclaimer of FRESH MARKET, but with really descriptive words disclaimers can be okay (assuming there isn’t secondary meaning). What is your reasoning for not filing as used. Is the client using ABC on it’s own in some instances?

No problem!
