`
`0urRef. No.: 462S0.DlD30D
`
`RESPONSE TO FIRST OFFICE ACTION
`
`This is in response to the First Office Action dated March 19, 2001 (the “Office Action”).
`
`In the Office Action, the Examining Attorney refused registration on the ground that Applicant's
`
`mark ONTIME:DISPA'I‘CH (the “Mark”) is confusingly similar to Registration No. 1,625,682.
`
`The Examining Attomey also refiised registration on the ground that the identification of
`
`services is indefinite because the Applicant uses the wording “relating to” instead of “namely."
`
`LIKELIHDOD OF CGJNFUSION:
`
`There Is No Likelihood. Of Confusion Between The Mark And Registration No. 1,625,682.
`
`The Examining Attorney is incorrect in concluding that there is a likelihood of confusion
`
`between Applicanfs Mark and Registration No. 1,625,682, Applicanfs goods are “computer
`
`software for synthesizing and/or displaying air carrier operational data," while its services are
`
`"computer services for others relating to d6Sig',l.'1 and implementation of software for synthesizing
`
`and/or displaying air carrier operational data.” Registrant’s goods, on the other hand, are
`
`“computer programs for schedule managelnent, and manuals sold therewith.”
`
`The Examining Attorney concludes without any evidence that “[s]|ince both marks
`

`
`contain an identical term and both goods involve computer programs at likelihood of confusion
`
`exists between the two Jmarks.” Applicant respectfully disagrees with the Examining Attorney.
`
`The only teim that the descriptions of goods for the Mark and Reg. No. 1,625,682 both include is
`
`the word “computer." Furthermore, Applicant and Registranfs use of their respective marks
`
`demonstrates that consumers are not likely to be confused. Applicant uses its Mark for software
`
`that “integrates dynamic air lraffic control (ATC) and airline data” —- software that is clearly
`
`targeted at airports and airlines. (Exhibit A). Registrant uses its mark for computer software to
`
`coordinate employee “work schedules and meetings” ~— software that
`
`is targeted at
`
`the
`
`personal/retail consumer. (Exhibit B).
`
`The channels of trade and targeted customers are
`
`completely different.
`
`The fact that the Mark and Reg- No. 1,625,682 both involve cornputeirs and software is
`
`insufficient to find a likelihood of confusion.
`
`[T]he Board has cautioned that there is no per se rule that confiusion will always
`be found as between any and all items of computer hardware and sofihvare.
`.
`.
`.
`As the computer becomes widely accepted as a common tool used in alll phases of
`businesses and professions, it becomes possible for a trademark on computer
`products targeted at a specialized market to coexist without confusion with a
`somewhat similar trademark used on computer products targeted at a quite
`different qpeeiallized market; .
`. . Thus, the Trademark Board and the Federal
`Circuit “have rejected the view that a relationship exists between goods and
`services simply because each involves the use of computers.”
`
`4 J. Tnoms MCCARTHY on TRADEMARIG AND UNFAIR COM.PETm0N § 24:44 at 2465 (4"‘ Ed.
`
`2000).
`
`In Arnicus Communications, LP. v. Hewlett-Packard Ca., Inc.. 1999 WL 495921 (W.D.
`
`Tex. June 11, 1999), the court addressed whether the plaintifi‘, which had registered the mark
`
`PAVILION for providing on-line communication services to affinity groups over the Internet,
`
`could allege the existence of a likelihood of confusion by the defendant’s use of the same mark
`
`for the manufacture and sale of personal computer systems. The court noted that the plaintiffs

`
`it
`
`services requirodiusers to register to gain access, While the defendant did not restrict its sales of
`
`personal computers to specific individuals or groups. Amie-us, 1999 WL 495921 at "‘12.‘
`
`Finding no likelihood of confusion merely because both marks involved computers, the court
`
`observed:
`
`More to the point, there are other instances of personal computers ancl intemet
`services companies sharing names.
`For example, Presario is the name of a
`leading personal computer marketed by COMPAQ and Presa.rio.1:;om is an
`unrelated consulting company which offers advice on systems integration. Indigo
`is the name of a work station marketed by Silicon Graphics andl unrelated
`I.ntIigo.com marlkets science—related equipment. ASPIRE is the Ilamue of a
`personal computer and unrelated to ASPIKING TECHNOLOGIES provides web
`page development and internet services, VERSA is the name of [a] notebook
`computer and unrelated Versa.com provides intcrnet pulblishing and marketing
`services.
`Pow-eredge
`is a sub—brand of Dell Computcns
`and unrelated
`Poweredgecom provides internet site hosting. Pavilion Teclrtnologies, Inc.
`in
`Austin, Texas rnzarkets sofiware under the name Pavilion. The Trademark Trial
`
`and Appeal Board has rejected plaintiffs premise that all computer hardware.
`sofiware and internet services are “closely related” when it noted that: “[T]]here
`must be some similarity between the goods and services beyond the fact that each
`involves the use of computers.” The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board has held
`the fact that the two parties provide computer programs in and of itsel1f"‘does not
`establish a relationship between good[s] or services such that czonsurners would
`believe that all computer software programs emanate from the same source
`simply because they are sold under similar marks.
`.
`.
`. The computer filed [sic]
`has become too large and too fragmented for aper so rule.
