`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 7/10/2008
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

`A.(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`SEARCH RESULTS
`
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 3339177.(cid:160) Trademark
`Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registration.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`rademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered mark that it is likely that a potential consumer
`would be confused or mistaken or deceived as to the source of the goods and/or services of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160)
`The court in In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973) listed the principal factors to be considered
`when determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d).(cid:160) See TMEP §1207.01.(cid:160) However, not all of the factors are
`necessarily relevant or of equal weight, and any one factor may be dominant in a given case, depending upon the evidence of record.(cid:160) In re
`Majestic Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 1315, 65 USPQ2d 1201, 1204 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see In re E. I. du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361-62, 177 USPQ at
`567.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the following factors are the most relevant:(cid:160) similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods and/or services, and similarity of trade
`channels of the goods and/or services.(cid:160) See In re Opus One, Inc., 60 USPQ2d 1812 (TTAB 2001); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc. , 59 USPQ2d
`1593 (TTAB 1999); In re Azteca Rest. Enters., Inc., 50 USPQ2d 1209 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`imilarity of the Marks
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n a likelihood of confusion determination, the marks are compared for similarities in their appearance, sound, meaning or connotation and
`commercial impression.(cid:160) In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361, 177 USPQ 563, 567 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01(b).(cid:160)
`Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB
`1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he marks are compared in their entireties under a Trademark Act Section 2(d) analysis.(cid:160) See TMEP §1207.01(b).(cid:160) Nevertheless, one feature of a
`mark may be recognized as more significant in creating a commercial impression.(cid:160) Greater weight is given to that dominant feature in
`determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) In re Nat’l Data Corp. , 753 F.2d 1056, 224 USPQ 749 (Fed. Cir. 1985); Tektronix, Inc.
`v. Daktronics, Inc., 534 F.2d 915, 189 USPQ 693 (C.C.P.A. 1976); In re J.M. Originals Inc., 6 USPQ2d 1393 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP
`§1207.01(b)(viii), (c)(ii).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough a disclaimed portion of a mark certainly cannot be ignored, and the marks must be compared in their entireties, one feature of a mark
`may be more significant in creating a commercial impression.(cid:160) Disclaimed matter is typically less significant or less dominant when comparing
`marks.(cid:160) See In re Dixie Rests. Inc., 105 F.3d 1405, 1407, 41 USPQ2d 1531, 1533-34 (Fed. Cir. 1997); In re Nat’l Data Corp. , 753 F.2d 1056,
`1060, 224 USPQ 749, 752 (Fed. Cir. 1985); TMEP §1207.01(b)(viii), (c)(ii).
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s mark, “SURGE”, and U.S. Registration No. 3339177, “CREATINE SURGE” are very similar in sound, appearance and meaning.
`Applicant’s mark merely deletes the descriptive wording “CREATINE” from registrant’s mark.
`(cid:160) Moreover, the dominant portion of
`registrant’s mark is “SURGE”, because “CREATINE” is disclaimed, and the term “SURGE” is the only term in applicant’s mark.
`(cid:160) The mere
`deletion of wording from a registered mark may not be sufficient to overcome a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See In re Optical Int’l , 196 USPQ 775,
`778 (TTAB 1977); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(b)(iii).(cid:160) Applicant’s mark does not create a distinct commercial impression because it contains the
`same common wording as registrant’s mark, and there is no other wording to distinguish it from registrant’s mark.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`imilarity of the Goods and/or Services
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See Safety-Kleen Corp. v.
`Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).(cid:160) Rather, they need only be related in
`some manner, or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the same purchasers under
`circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source.(cid:160) In re Total Quality Group,
`Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87,
`56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed.
`Cir. 1984).
`
`(cid:160)L
`
`ikelihood of confusion is determined on the basis of the goods and/or services as they are identified in the application and registration.(cid:160)
`Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1267-68, 62 USPQ2d 1001, 1004-05 (Fed. Cir. 2002); In re Shell Oil Co., 992 F.2d
`1204, 1207 n.4, 26 USPQ2d 1687, 1690 n.4 (Fed. Cir. 1993); TMEP §1207.01(a)(iii).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he registered mark, “CREATINE SURGE”, U.S. Registration No. 3339177, covers “Dietary and nutritional supplements; Powdered
`nutritional supplement drink mix” while applicant identified “energy drinks.” (cid:160)(cid:160) Applicant’s goods and registrant’s goods/services are highly
`related because both involve drinks, and commonly originate from the same source as demonstrated by the third party registrations attached.
`Thus, applicant’s mark is likely to cause confusion as to the source of the goods/services.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`ttached are copies of printouts from the USPTO X-Search database, which show third-party registrations of marks used in connection with the
`same or similar goods and/or services as those of applicant and registrant in this case.(cid:160) These printouts have probative value to the extent that
`they serve to suggest that the goods and/or services listed therein, namely energy drinks and dietary and nutritional supplements, and powdered
`nutritional supplement drink mix are of a kind that may emanate from a single source.(cid:160) In re Infinity Broad. Corp., 60 USPQ2d 1214, 1217-18
`(TTAB 2001); In re Albert Trostel & Sons Co., 29 USPQ2d 1783, 1785-86 (TTAB 1993); In re Mucky Duck Mustard Co., 6 USPQ2d 1467, 1470
