To: the; Fixit; JameRetief; Oldeconomybuyer
On behalf of my client, please be advised that it is our opinion that your claims do not meet the appropriate legal standard for trademark infringement. Specifically, plaintiff must show evidence of the likelihood of actual confusion on the part of consumers - we do not believe this to be the case, as the geographic separation of, and disparate goods provided by, claimant and my clients renders any possible confusion exceedingly unlikely. Second, "Fixit" has failed to develop a protectable trademark right in a trademark of the word "the". Thirdly, even if such confusion exists and Fixit has a protectable trademark right, claimant is wholly unable to make any showing of intent to infringe on the part of my clients.

In the future, all communication to my clients may be directed to me as their duly designated representative.

Sincerely,
Leonard J. Krabs
Dewey, Cheatem, and Howe
