`
`REMARKS
`
`With respect to the likelihood of confusion citation of the registration of the VECTOR mark
`
`owned by Directions, Inc., Applicant has the following response. Directions, Inc. changed its
`
`name to Sterling Software (Northern America), Inc.. A copy of the Certificate of Amendment to
`
`the Certificate of Incorporation of Directions, Inc. reflecting this change of name is attached hereto
`
`and has been submitted to the United States Patent and Trademark Office for recordation, as shown
`
`in the enclosed document.
`
`Sterling Software (Northern America), Inc. is a wholly owned subsidiary of Sterling
`
`Software, Inc., the applicant in the present application. Sterling Software, Inc., as the parent
`
`company, does in fact control the nature and quality of the products and services which bear the
`
`

`
`subject mark used by its wholly owned subsidiary. Accordingly, ownership is proper in the name
`
`of applicant, Sterling Software, Inc.
`
`In accordance with the Examiner’s request, Applicant submits herewith a substitute
`
`drawing of the mark complying with 37 C.F.R. §2.52.
`
`Applicant believes that the present application is now in order and respectfully requests that
`
`the Examining Attorney pass the mark to publication in the Official Gazette at her earliest
`
`convenience. If the Examining Attorney has any questions, she is urged to telephone the
`
`undersigned attorney.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
