`
`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 marks in U.S. Registration Nos. 1,482,705; 1,540,240; and
`1,568,152. TMEP section 1207. See the enclosed registrations.
`
`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 or services, 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 or services. The overriding concern is to prevent buyer confusion as
`to the source of the goods or services. Miss Universe, Inc. v. Miss Teen U.S.A., 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).
`
`"GENTRAN" is the dominant word in all of the marks, and it is used by the applicant and the
`registrant to identify computer products and/or services. Therefore, 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); Tl\/IEP 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 251 and 2.52; TMEP section 807.05. The Office will enforce these
`drawing requirements strictly. TMEP section 807.
`
`Current status and status date information is available, via push button telephone, for all
`federal trademark registration and application records maintained in the automated Trademark
`Reporting and Monitoring (TRAM) system. The information may be accessed by calling
`(703) 305-8747 from 6:30 am. until midnight, Eastern Time, Monday through Friday, and
`
`

`
`3
`
`entering a seven-digit registration number or eight-digit application number, followed by the
`"#" symbol, after the welcoming message and tone. Callers may request information for up to
`five registration number or application number records per call.

`REMARKS
`
`With respect to the likelihood of confusion citation of the registration of the GENTRAN
`
`marks owned by Ordemet Services, Inc., Applicant has the following response. Ordemet
`
`Services, Inc. changed its name to Sterling Software (America), Inc. A copy of the Certificate of
`
`Amendment to the Certificate of Incorporation of Ordemet Services, 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 (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 subsidiary. 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.
