Office Action issues
The examiner refused your trademark due to a likelihood of confusion with an existing registration and identified a potential conflict with a prior-filed application, which are serious issues. Additionally, the examiner requires a new specimen of use for Class 12 and a formal disclaimer of the word 'MARITIME'.
