`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`. following.
`1
`
`LIKELII-IOOD 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. TIVIEP 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 & C0,, 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 commercialimpression 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 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).
`
`VECTOR, the entire mark in the cited registration, is a prominent part of the applicant's
`proposed mark. Since both 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 informalities.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
`
`The word "system" in the identification of goods is indefinite for registration purposes. The
`applicant must amend the identification to name the specific computer equipment comprising
`the system. TMEP section 804.
`
`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.
`
`

`
`NOTE: For your information, the Patent and Trademark Office recently published a notice of
`proposed rulemaking regarding its intention to increase the fee for filing a trademark
`application from $210.00 per class to $245.00 per class. 58 FR 39102 (July 21, 1993); 1152
`0G 91 (July 27, 1993). Legislation (HR. 2632) is pending before the U.S. Congress which,
`under its present language, would effect this increase. When and if HR. 2632 is enacted
`into law, the
