`
`Attention: Trademark Examining Operation
`c/o Helene Liwinski, Law Office 104
`
`Transmitted via TEAS
`
`Office Action asserts that the Applied-for Mark and the Registered Mark impart confusingly
`
`The Applicant maintains, resubmits and incorporates by reference all arguments and
`evidence submitted in connection with the Applicant’s responses to the prior Office Action dated
`March 8, 2013 (“Office Action #1”), the prior Office Action dated September 6, 2013 (“Office
`Action #2”), and the prior Office Action dated April 10, 2014 (“Office Action #3”), all issued in
`this Application file. A summary of the arguments previously made in response to the prior
`Office Actions (and now incorporated by reference herein) was submitted with the Applicant’s
`response to Office Action #3.
`
`RESPONSE AND REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
`AFTER FINAL OFFICE ACTION DATED 9/26/2014
`
`Dear Ms. Liwinski:
`
`This letter responds to the final Office Action issued on September 26, 2014 (the “Final
`Office Action”) concerning the HIGH SPEED GEAR mark shown above (the “Applied-for
`Mark”). The Applicant respectfitlly requests that you consider the matters set forth herein (and
`in the Applicant’s responses to the previous office actions issued in this Application file), and
`reconsider and Withdraw the refusal so that the Application may proceed toward registration.
`
`The Final Office Action notes that the clarification as to the identification of goods has
`been satisfied but continues and maintains the Section 2(d) refusal based on Registration No.
`3614383 for the mark HI-SPEED in connection with ammunition, owned by RA Brands, LLC
`(the “Registered Mark”). As the basis for refusing the Applied-for Mark registration, the Final
`
`

`

`In support of that View, the Examining
`similar commercial impressions and cover related goods.
`Attorney relies on various trademark registrations covering multiple goods in Class 13 along
`with a handful of third-party websites offering both ammunition and firearm accessories.
`
`In response and as support for this reconsideration, the Applicant shows the following
`and presents additional evidence to support its argument that the descriptive HI-SPEED mark for
`ammunition and the Applicant’s suggestive or arbitrary HIGH SPEED GEAR mark for tactical
`nylon gear impart distinctly different commercial impressions within the context of the owners’
`respective goods. The Applicant maintains and repeats its position that the phrase “HI—SPEED”
`is highly descriptive of a characteristic of RA Brands’ ammunition,
`i.e.,
`that RA Brands’
`ammunition is designed to achieve a high muzzle velocity or speed when fired.
`
`At the same time, among consumers unaware of the foregoing connotation, the phrase
`“High Speed” likely appears arbitrary when used with the Applicant’s goods. Therefore, even
`among those consumers, the phrase “High Speed” as used by the Applicant connotes a very
`different commercial impression than that conveyed by the highly descriptive Registered Mark.
`
`By contrast, in the context of the tactical gear offered under the Applied—for Mark, the
`phrase “High Speed” has a different meaning having nothing to do with speed or velocity of the
`Applicant’s products.
`Instead, in the context of the Applicant’s products, the phrase “High
`Speed” is suggestive of a quality of excellence and leadership. See Ex. A, High-Speed, US.
`Army Concert Band Album Cover (describing the characteristics of a “high speed” soldier or
`other individual as self-motivated who “sets the standard for excellence and professionalism”);
`Ex. B, High-Speed Album, Amazon.com; Ex. C, Language Schools, Military Slang
`WWW.aboutlanguageschools.com/slang/military-slang.asp (defining “high speed, low drag” as
`“Excellent, particularly of equipment”); Ex. D, Steven Cooke,
`‘High—Speed, Low-Drag’
`Implications
`for
`the Military,
`and Beyond, Am. Military Univ.,
`Feb.
`9,
`2015,
`www.militaryl . com/defense/article/5 64665 -high-speed-low-drag—impli cations-for-the-military—
`and—beyond (signifying a leader in one’s field with a high level of competency to successfitlly
`complete
`a
`task); Ex.
`E, Simply Hired, Average High Speed Soldier Salaries,
`http://www.simplyhired.com/salaries-k—high-speed—soldier—jobshtml;
`see
`also
`evidence
`previously submitted in responses to prior Office Actions.
`In addition to traditional military use,
`the phrase “high speed” is also used in the context of military entertainment and in describing
`employment See Ex. F, Facebook page of Operation High-Speed Soldier (displaying images of
`military humor); Ex. G, Steam Community Market, Hergus’ High Speed Gear Trading Card.
`
`Applicant’s prior filings, the Applied-for Mark and the Registered Mark have co-existed in the
`
`The attached evidence, along with the evidence and arguments previously submitted by
`the Applicant relating to the commercial impression of the term “High Speed,” demonstrates that
`the Applied—for Mark conveys a unique commercial impression that is wholly dissimilar from
`that conveyed by the Registered Mark.
`
`Given the distinct commercial impressions given by the two marks and the dilution of the
`material common between the marks,
`the marks are sufficiently different that prospective
`consumers are unlikely to confuse the source of the respective goods. As noted in the
`
`

`

`marketplace for more than 14 years Without any instances of actual confusion. See Applicant’s
`Response to Office Action #1.

`Editorial Reviews
`
`Within the fraternity of the United States Army, a "high-speed" Soldier is a self-motivated individual who sets the standard for excellence and
`professionalism. The high-speed musicians of The United States Army Band are known worldwide as virtuosic and creative artisans who
`coalesce into "Pershing's Own.” This recording proudly showcases that individual and combined talent by featuring extraordinary soloists, the
`creative vision of our arranging staff, and the synergy of The U.S. Army Concert Band. We are very pleased to present "High—Speed" for your
`listening enjoyment.
