`(cid:160)T
`
`he 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).(cid:160) TMEP section 704.01.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`This application may not proceed to publication, however, until the applicant responds to the following informalities.(cid:160)
`
`Disclaimer
`Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “DAILY NEWS TUBE STUFFER” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes
`the services, namely, that the services provided are the delivery of newspapers featuring daily news, through stuffing the newspapers in a
`
`newspaper tube.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 6, 15 U.S.C. §1056; TMEP §§1213 and 1213.03(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The term “tube” is a term of art describing the round, tube-shaped container that frequently appears next to mailboxes for the delivery of
`newspapers.(cid:160) The applicant applied to register the mark DAILY NEWS TUBE STUFFER and design for delivery of newspapers.(cid:160) The term
`TUBE, as stated previously refers to a tube shaped container used to hold newspapers.(cid:160) The examining attorney refers to the excerpted articles
`from a search in the Lexis/Nexis ® computerized database in which the term TUBE in relation to NEWSPAPER appeared in 327 articles.(cid:160) A
`dozen representative articles are attached.(cid:160) See attachments.
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`
`The term STUFFER refers to the individual or instrument that stuffs the newspaper into the tube.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he Office can require an applicant to disclaim exclusive rights to an unregistrable part of a mark, rather than refuse registration of the entire
`mark.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 6(a), 15 U.S.C. §1056(a).(cid:160) Under Trademark Act Section 2(e), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e), the Office can refuse
`registration of the entire mark where it is determined that the entire mark is merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, or primarily
`geographically descriptive of the goods.(cid:160) Thus, the Office may require the disclaimer of a portion of a mark which, when used in connection with
`the goods or services, is merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, primarily geographically descriptive, or otherwise unregistrable (e.g.,
`generic).(cid:160) TMEP §1213.03(a).(cid:160) If an applicant does not comply with a disclaimer requirement, the Office may refuse registration of the entire
`mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`“disclaimer” is thus a written statement that an applicant adds to the application record that states that applicant does not have exclusive
`rights, separate and apart from the entire mark, to particular wording and/or to a design aspect.(cid:160) The appearance of the applied-for mark does not
`change.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`uggested Disclaimer
`The computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer.(cid:160) TMEP
`§1213.08(a)(i).(cid:160) The following is the standard format used by the Office:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “DAILY NEWS TUBE STUFFER” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ee In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`rawing Contains Stippling
`Applicant must submit a statement that the stippling shown in the drawing is a feature of the mark.(cid:160) Presumably, the stippling is intended to
`
`represent a newspaper.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §807.09(e).(cid:160) The applicant may submit the following statement:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`The stippling shown in the drawing is a feature of the mark and not intended to indicate color.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`Drawing Too Large
`Applicant must submit a substitute drawing showing the mark no larger than 3.15 inches (8 cm) high by 3.15 inches (8 cm) wide.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`2.52(b).(cid:160) The image submitted does not meet these drawing size limitations.(cid:160) Specifically, the drawing is 3.54 by 2.16 inches.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`pecial Form Drawing – Paper Requirements
`The requirements for a special-form drawing are as follows:
`
`·(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The drawing must appear in black and white if color is not claimed as a feature of the mark, or in color if color is claimed as a
`feature of the mark.
`
`·(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Drawings must be typed or made with a pen or by a process that will provide high definition when copied.(cid:160) A photolithographic,
`printer’s proof copy, or other high quality reproduction of the mark may be used.(cid:160) All lines must be clean, sharp and solid, and
`must not be fine or crowded.
`
`·(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) The image must be no larger than 3.15 inches (8 cm) high by 3.15 inches (8cm) wide.
`
`·(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If reduction of the mark to the required size renders any details illegible, then applicant may insert a statement in the application to
`describe the mark and these details.
`
`(cid:160)3
`
`7 C.F.R. §§2.52(b); See TMEP §§807.01(b) and 807.07(a).
`
`(cid:160)I

`and 11 to 11.69 inches long (20.3 to 21.6 cm. wide and 27.9 to 29.7 cm. long).(cid:160) One of the shorter sides of the sheet should be regarded as its top
`edge. In addition, the drawing should include the caption “DRAWING PAGE” at the top of the drawing beginning one-inch (2.5 cm) from the
`top edge.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.54.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he Office strictly enforces these drawing requirements.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`pecial Form Drawing Through TEAS – Requirements
`To submit a special form drawing electronically, applicant must attach a digitized image of the mark to the submission.(cid:160) The Office will only
`accept an image in .jpg format.(cid:160) The image must be formatted at no less than 300 dots per inch and no more than 350 dots per inch; and with a
`length and width of no less than 250 pixels and no more than 944 pixels.(cid:160) All lines in the image must be clean, sharp and solid, and not fine or
`crowded, and produce a high quality image when copied.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.53.
