`the mark was in use in commerce on or in connection with the goods or services listed in the
`
`application as of the application filing date. 37 C.F.R. §§ 2.34(a)(l)(i). The undersigned, being

`corporation, or association has the right to use the mark in commerce, either in the identical form
`
`thereof or in such near resemblance thereto as to be likely, when used on or in connection with
`
`the goods/services of such other person, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive;

`that if the original application was submitted unsigned, that all statements in the original
`
`
`
