Hello Sterling Construction & Development,


I am following up regarding my previous message about the name =
=93Sterling
Construction & Development.=94 As mentioned, another party has expressed
interest in filing a trademark application for this name.


Since your business has an established history of using it, you may have =
a
stronger claim under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. =A71051 et seq.). The =
U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office follows a first-to-file system, which means =
the
first applicant generally receives priority to the rights.


We would like to give you the opportunity to secure your position before
moving forward with the other application. Please let me know if you =
wish to
proceed so that we can assist with filing on your behalf.


If we do not hear from you, we will assume that you are not interested, =
and
we may need to proceed with the other applicant.


You may reply to this email or reach me directly at  <tel:9252314922> =
(925)
231-4922 to discuss further.


Justin Sterling=20
