`Applicant requests a six-month extension of time to file its

`Applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the mark
`
`in comerce in connection with the goods identified in the Notice
`
`of Allowance.
`
`This is the first request for an Extension of Time following
`
`mailing of the Notice of Allowance.

`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 subsidiaxy. 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.

`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`' following.
`
`LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`The examining attorney refuses registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`Section 1052(d), because the applicant's mark, when used on the identified goods, is likely to
`be confused with the registered mark in U.S. Registration No. 1,769,783. TMEP section
`1207. See the enclosed registration.
`
`Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act bars registration where a mark so resembles a registered
`mark, that it is likely, when applied to the goods, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake or
`to deceive. TMEP section 1207.01‘ The Court in In re E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., 476
`
`F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (CCPA 1973), listed the principal factors to consider in
`determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion. Among these factors are the
`similarity of the marks as to appearance, sound, meaning and commercial impression and the
`
`

`
`2
`
`similarity of the goods. The overriding concern is to prevent buyer confusion as to the source
`of the goods. Miss Universe, Inc. v. Miss Teen USA., Inc., 209 USPQ 698 (N.D. Ga. 1980).
`Therefore, any doubt as to the existence of a likelihood of confusion must be resolved in
`
`favor of the registrant. Lone Star Mfg. Co. v. Bill Beasley, Inc., 498 F.2d 906, 182 USPQ
`368 (CCPA 1974).
`
`"VECTOR," the dominant word in the applicant's proposed mark, comprises the entire
`registered mark. Since both marks are applied to computer programs for use in the banking
`industry, confusion as to source is likely.
`
`If the applicant chooses to respond to the refusal to register, the applicant must also respond
`to the following informality.
`
`DRAWING
`
`The drawing is not acceptable because the mark is not typed entirely in capital letters. 37
`C.F.R. Section 2.51(e); TMEP section 807.08. The applicant must submit a new drawing. If
`the applicant wishes to register the typed version of the mark, the applicant must submit a
`drawing on which the mark is typed entirely in capital letters.
`If the applicant intends to
`show the mark in special form, the applicant must submit an acceptable special-form drawing.
`37 C.F.R. Sections 2.51 and 2.52.
`
`The requirements for a special-form drawing, in addition to the heading, are as follows.
`
`(1) The drawing must appear in black and white; no color is permitted.
`
`(2) Every line and letter must be black and clear.
`
`(3) The use of gray to indicate shading is unacceptable.
`
`(4) The lining must not be too fine or too close together.
`
`(5) The preferred size of the area in which the mark is displayed is 2 1/2 inches (6.1
`cm.) high and 2 1/2 inches (6.1 cm.) wide.
`In no case may it be larger than 4 inches
`(10.3 cm.) high or 4 inches (10.3 cm.) wide.
`
`(6) If the reduction of the mark to the required size renders any details illegible, the
`applicant may insert a statement in the application to describe the mark and these
`details.
`
`37 C.F.R. Sections 2.51 and 2.52; TMEP section 807.05. The Office will enforce these
`drawing requirements strictly. TMEP section 807.
