Hello Sterling Construction & Development,

I hope this message finds you well.

We recently received an inquiry from another party seeking to file a
trademark application for the name =93Sterling Construction & =
Development=94
During our review, we noted that your business has an established =
history of
using this name, which may provide you with a stronger basis for =
protection
under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. =A71051 et seq.), the primary U.S. =
trademark
law.

As a matter of practice, we give priority to the established business to
consider filing first. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office operates on =
a
first-to-file system, meaning whoever submits the application first will
generally be given priority to the rights.

If you wish to proceed, we can assist with preparing and filing your
application to help secure exclusive rights to the name. If not, the
application process may continue with the other party.

Please let us know how you would like to proceed. You can reply to this
email or call our office at (925) 231-4922 to discuss next steps.

Best regards,


Justin Sterling=20
Intellectual Property Attorney
California Bar No. 254416
