`OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OUR MAILING OR E-MAILING DATE.
`
`RE: Serial Number 76/447920
`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`following.
`
`NO CONFLICTING MARKS NOTED
`
`The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or
`pending mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section
`1052(_d). TMEP section 1105.01.
`
`DRAWING CONTAINS COLOR LINING
`
`As of October 30, 1999, the Office no longer requires the use of lining to indicate color. The Office
`will continue to accept drawings that show color by using the color linings formerly shown in 37
`C.F.R. §2.52(e). TMEP §807.09(b). However. the applicant also has the option of identifying color
`in the mark by providing a clear and specific description of the color and where it appears in the
`
`

`
`If the applicant wishes to delete the lining from the mark, the applicant must submit a new
`mark.
`black-and-white drawing of the mark that meets the requirements of 37 CFR. §2.52(a)(2)(i), along
`with a description of what the color is and where the color appears in the mark.
`37 C.F.R.
`§2.52(a)(2)(v); TMEP §807.09(c).
`
`DESCRIPTION OF MARK REQUIRED
`
`The applicant must submit a concise description ofthe mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §§808 et seq.
`The statement may be in the following form, if accurate:
`
`The mark consists of a circle containing the Greek letter. phi, adjacent to the
`wording “photon imaging” in a stylized font.
`
`UNACCEPTABLE RECITATION OF SERVICES
`
`The application lists the services “research and development for new products of others scientific
`research, and consultation in the field of x—ray, gamma ray, beta ray, measurement and imaging
`instrumentation" in International Class 42. There is certain wording in the recitation of services that
`is unacceptable indefinite. TMEP section 1402.01.
`To follow are the examining attorney’s
`suggestions concerning the applicant’s recitation of services.
`The applicant may amend the
`application pursuant to the examining attorney‘s suggestions, if accurate:
`“Research and development
`for new products for others. scientific research, and technical
`consultation in thefields of x—ray, gamma ray, beta ray. measurement, and imaging instrumentation”
`in International Class 42.
`
`If the applicant has access to the world wide web, it is strongly recommended that it review
`the Office’s Trademark Manual of/lcceplable Identifications and Classificationsfor Goods and
`Services at httpz//www.uspto.gov/web/ofiiccs/tac/doc/gsmanual.
`
`APPLICANT MAY NOT EXCEED SCOPE OF PRESENT RECITATION OF SERVICES
`
`While an application may be amended to clarity or limit the recitation of services, additions to the
`recitation are not permitted. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.7l(b). TMEP section 1402.06. Therefore. the
`applicant may not amend to include any services that are not within the scope of the present
`recitation.
`
`APPLICANT MUST DISCLAIM DESCRIPTIVE WORDING “PI-IOTON IMAGING”
`
`Trademark Act Section 6(a), 15 U.S.C. Section l056(a). states that the Commissioner may require
`the applicant to disclaim an unregistrable component of a mark. Trademark Act Section 2(ie). l5
`U.S.C. Section lO52(e), bars the registration of a mark which is merely descriptive or deceptively
`misdcscriptive, or primarily geographically descriptive of the goods or services. Therefore,
`the
`Commissioner may require the disclaimer of a portion of a mark which, when used in connection
`with the goods or services,
`is merely descriptive or deceptively misdescriptive. hr primarily
`
`

`
`If an applicant does not comply with a disclaimer requirement, the
`geographically descriptive.
`examining attorney may refuse registration of the entire mark. TMEP section l213.()l(b).
`
`A mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient. quality. characteristic. function. feature.
`purpose or use of the relevant goods or services.
`In re Gyuiay, 820 F.2d 1216, 3 USPQ2d 1009
`(Fed. Cir. 1987);
`In re Bed & Breakfast Registry, 791 F.2d 157. 229 USPQ 818 (Fed. Cir. 1986); In
`re MetPatl1 Inc., 223 USPQ 88 (TTAB 1984); In re Bright-Crest, Ltd, 204 USPQ 591 (TTAB
`1979); TMEP section l209.0l(b). The applicant has applied to register the mark “PHOTON
`IMAGING” for “research and development for new products of others scientific research, and
`consultation in the field of x-ray, gamma ray. beta ray. measurement and imaging instrumentation.”
`The respective terms “PHOTON" and “IMAGING” are defined as follows:
`
`pho-ton (to iton ‘ ) noun
`1. The quantum of electromagnetic energy, generally regarded as a discrete particle having zero mass, no electric
`charge, and an indefinitely long lifetimel
`
`im-ag-ing (im L 1-jing) noun
`Medicine. Visualization of internal bodily organs, tissues, or cavities using specialized instruments and techniques, such
`as ultrasonography, for diagnostic purposes.
`
`Computer Science. To translate (photographs or other pictures) by computer into numbers that can be transmitted to a
`remote location and then reeonverted into pictures by another computer.2
`
`A search and review of the applicant’s website indicates that the applicant is “dedicated to research
`and development and commercialization of ‘next generation” medical diagnostic instruments for
`advancing diagnosis and treatment of cancer as well as advanced radiation measurement
`instrumentation for space and terrestrial scientific applications using the applicant’s revolutionary
`imaging sensor
`technologies.“
`The examining attorney’s additional
`search of “PHOTON
`IMAGING" in a Lexis Nexis® database yielded numerous articles containing such terminology
`which evidence the descriptiveness of the wording as applied to (1) imaging processes to observe
`individual T—cells and B-cells in laboratory mice and rats as the cells moved within lymph nodes in
`the body and (2) as applied to cameras and other scientific instruments carried aboard spaceerafts to
`allow the imaging of X—ray sources and to distinguish their "color." Please see the attached excerpts
`from ten (10) representative articles.
`
`Based on the foregoing. the wording "PIIOTON IMAGING” in the applicant’s mark is considered
`merely descriptive. as it describes a characteristic. function and feature of the relevant services in
`that the services relate to photon imaging instrumentation. The applicant must insert a disclaimer of

`

`
`“PHOTON IMAGING” in the application. Trademark Act Section 6, 15 U.S.C. Section 1056:
`TMEP sections 1213 and 1213.09(a)(i).
`
`A properly worded disclaimer should read as follows:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “PHOTON IMAGING” apart from the mark as
`shown.
`
`REQ QUIREMENT FOR PARTICULAR INFORMATION
`
`the wording "PHOTON IMAGING" is
`the applicant does not believe that
`that
`In the event
`descriptive of its services, the applicant must indicate the relevance of the wording “PHOTON
`IMAGING,“ individually and collectively,
`in its mark,
`including whether such term has any
`significance in relation to the services.
`The applicant must also indicate whether the terms
`“PHOTON” and “Il\/IAGING," individually or collectively, are an ingredient, quality, characteristic,
`function, feature, purpose and/or use of the services.
`37 C.F.R. Section 2.6l(b); TMEP Section
`808.03(c).
`
`Additionally, the applicant must submit information for the identified services. This may take the
`form of a fact sheet, an instruction manual, and/or advertisements or promotional materials.
`If such
`materials are not available,
`the applicant must submit a detailed description of the services,
`including but not limited to their nature, purpose, prospective purchasers, and channel of trade. This
`information is necessary to evaluate accurately and fully the registrability of the applicant’s
`proposed designation. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.61(b); TMEP sections 1103.04 and 1105.02.
`If the
`applicant does not provide the information required herein, registration may be refused. The
`Trademark Rules of Practice have the effect of law and failure to comply with a request for
`information is grounds for refusal of registration. See, a. In re .Io.s'epn Edward Page. 1999 TTAB
`LEXIS 229 (TTAB 1999); In re Babies Beat, Inc, 13 USPQ2d 1729 (TTAB 1990); In re Big
`Daddy's Lounges, Inc., 200 USPQ 371 (TTAB 1978); In re Air Products and (.'hemical.s', Inc. 192
`L'SPQ2d 84, 85-86 (TTAB 1976)‘, and In re Morrison Industries‘, Inc, 178 USPQ 432, 433-34
`(TTAB 1973).
`
`If the applicant elects to disclaim the wording “PHOTON IMAGING,“ the applicant need not
`comply with this requirement.
`
`UNACCEPTABLE SPECIMEN
`
`The specimen does not show use of the mark for any services identified in the application. as it
`consists of a sheet of letterhead that does not reference the applicant’s services. The applicant must
`a specimen showing use of the mark for the services specified.
`37 C.F.R. Section 2.56. The
`applicant must verify. with an affidavit or a declaration under 37 C.F.R. Section 2.20, that the
`substitute specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application. 37
`C.F.R. Section 259(a); TMEP section 905.10. The applicant should note that, because it
`is
`claiming color as a feature of its mark. the substitute specimen must show the claimed color where
`indicated in the mark description.
`
`

`
`ACCEPTABLE SPECIMENS
`
`Acceptable specimens may include newspaper and magazine advertisements as well as other types
`of advertising such as brochures, billboards. handbills. direct-mail leaflets. and the like. However,
`printer's proofs for advertisements. publicity releases to news media. or printed articles resulting
`from such releases. are not accepted because they do not show use of the mark by the applicant in
`the sale or advertising of the services. Letterhead stationery or business cards bearing the mark may
`be accepted if the services are clearly indicated thereon. For instance, letterhead that contains the
`mark and the additional phrase "Leather Tanners to the Nation for Half a Century," or even a term
`such as "Real Estate Brokers." may be accepted as support for leather tanning services or real estate
`brokerage services. respectively. However, letterhead stationery or business cards which bear only
`the mark and a company name and address are not adequate specimens (unless the mark itself has a
`descriptive portion which clearly identifies the services being provided), because such items are not
`evidence that the mark is used in the sale or advertising of the particular services recited in the
`application. See In re Royal Viking Line A/S. 216 USPQ 795 (TTAB 1982); Amica Mutual Ins. Co.
`v. R.H. Casnietics (70rp., 204 USPQ 155. 162 (TTAB 1979); In re Republic 0fAuslria Spanische
`Reilsehule. 197 USPQ 494 (TTAB 1977): In re Piece Goods Shops, Inc. 178 USPQ 512 (TTAB
`1973).
`
`NOTE: MARK DIFFERS ON DRAWING AND SPECIMEN
`
`The applicant should note that the mark differs on the drawing and the unacceptable specimen. The
`drawing displays a plain Greek letter. “PHI." in a circle, and the drawing displays a more stylized
`Greek letter, “PHI." in a circle.
