`
`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
`
`

`

`fa,
`
`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).
`
