| Description of Mark | The mark consists of two-dimensional design of packaging for the goods where the bottom third of the package is beige with a design featuring flowers and wheat in dark and light shades of beige. Over the beige background are the words "PREMIUM ITALIAN BAKERY" in dark brown, above a short dark brown line, and below the line is the wording "NET WT 5.29OZ(150GE)" in dark brown. A map of Italy and the words "PRODUCT OF ITALY", all in dark brown also appear on the beige background. The top two-thirds of the package is white with a gold stripe separating the white and beige parts of the packaging. At the top of the package against the white background is a design featuring a circle surrounded by bundles of wheat and flowers, all in dark brown. The inside of the circle is white with a dark brown landscape featuring a farmhouse and watermill. Extending from the circle is a white banner outlined in dark brown with the words "MULINO BIANCO" in dark brown. Below the banner is a red oval with the word "BARILLA" in white. The red oval is inside a white oval outlined in red. Below the ovals are the words "SFOGLIE" in dark brown and below those words are the words "OVEN BAKED CRACKERS WITH BLACK AND GREEN OLIVES," all in dark brown. Below these words, and partly overlapping with the bottom beige background, is the image of a rectangle shaped cracker with green and black olive and green leaves to the left of the crackers. Dark brown markings appear on the bottom beige portion of the side of the packaging. The dotted lines serve only to show the position of the mark. |
