`OFFICE ACTION
`
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS
`OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/15/2010
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

`

`The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that
`would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`FALSE CONNECTION
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter which may falsely suggest a connection with the New
`Orleans Saints.  WHO DAT is associated with the New Orleans Saints.  See attachments.  Although the New Orleans Saints is not connected
`with the goods and/or services provided by applicant under the applied-for mark, the New Orleans Saints is so famous that consumers would
`presume a connection.  Trademark Act Section 2(a), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a); see TMEP §§1203.03, 1203.03(e).  See generally Univ. of Notre Dame
`du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316
`(TTAB 1990); Univ. of Ala. v. BAMA-Werke Curt Baumann, 231 USPQ 408 (TTAB 1986); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985);
`
`Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428 (TTAB 1985).  
`
`The following is required for a showing of false connection under Trademark Act Section 2(a):
`
`(1)  The mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the name or identity previously used by another person
`or institution;
`
`(2)  The mark would be recognized as such, in that it points uniquely and unmistakably to that person or institution;
`
`(3)  The person or institution identified in the mark is not connected with the goods sold or services performed by applicant under the
`mark; and
`
`(4)  The fame or reputation of the named person or institution is of such a nature that a connection with such person or institution would
`be presumed when applicant’s mark is used on its goods and/or services.
`
`In re Peter S. Herrick, P.A., 91 USPQ2d 1505, 1507 (TTAB 2009); In re MC MC S.r.l., 88 USPQ2d 1378, 1379 (TTAB 2008); TMEP
`§1203.03(e); see also Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 1375-77, 217 USPQ 505, 508-10 (Fed. Cir.
`1983) (providing foundational principles for the current four-part test used to determine the existence of a false connection).
`
`The fact that applicant did not intend to adopt the name of, or trade upon the goodwill of, the named person or institution does not obviate a false
`connection refusal.  Trademark Act Section 2(a) does not require such intent.  TMEP §1203.03(e); see, e.g., S & L Acquisition Co. v. Helene
`Arpels, Inc., 9 USPQ2d 1221 (TTAB 1987); Consol. Natural Gas v. CNG Fuel Sys., Ltd., 228 USPQ 752 (TTAB 1985).  However, evidence of
`such intent is highly probative that the public will make the intended false connection.  Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps.
`Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); TMEP §1203.03(e).
`
`The trademark examining attorney refers to the excerpted materials from the GOOGLE® search engine which demonstrate that WHO DAT is a
`famous saying that refers to and is associated with the New Orleans Saints, which is especially relevant after the Saints won the recent Super
`Bowl.  The applicant’s specimen shows that the applicant’s goods feature references to the New Orleans Saints and their Super Bowl win.
`Consumers are likely to believe that the goods are connected with the New Orleans Saints, which it does not appear to be.
`
`INFORMALITIES
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in
`
`support of registration.  
`
`The applicant must respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.
`
`DISCLAIMER REQUIRED
`
`Applicant must insert a disclaimer of CAT in the application because it merely describes the goods, namely, that the art pictures, prints, and
`canvas feature a cat character.  See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).  Please see the attached definition.
`
`The Office can require an applicant to disclaim an unregistrable part of a mark consisting of particular wording, symbols, numbers, design
`elements or combinations thereof.  15 U.S.C. §1056(a).  Under Trademark Act Section 2(e), the Office can refuse registration of an entire mark
`if the entire mark is merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, or primarily geographically descriptive of the goods.  15 U.S.C. §1052(e). 
`Thus, the Office may require an applicant to disclaim a portion of a mark that, when used in connection with the goods or services, is merely
`descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, primarily geographically descriptive, or otherwise unregistrable (e.g., generic).  See TMEP §§1213,
`
`1213.03.  
`
`Failure to comply with a disclaimer requirement can result in a refusal to register the entire mark.  TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

` A
`
` “disclaimer” is a statement that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of a mark.   TMEP §1213.  A
`
`disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the applied-for mark.  See TMEP §1213.10.  
`
`A disclaimer does not physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark, but rather is a written statement that applicant does not claim
`exclusive rights to the disclaimed wording and/or design separate and apart from the mark as shown in the drawing.  TMEP §§1213, 1213.10.
`
`The following is the accepted standard format for a disclaimer:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “CAT” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`TMEP §1213.08(a)(i).
`
`RESPONSE GUIDELINES
`
`In the response, applicant should address each refusal and/or requirement raised in the Office action.  If a refusal has issued, applicant may wish
`to argue against the refusal, i.e., submit arguments and/or evidence as to why the refusal should be withdrawn and why the mark should register. 
`To respond to requirements, applicant should simply set forth in writing the required changes or statements and request that the Office enter
`
`them into the application record.  
`
`The response must be signed by applicant or someone with legal authority to bind applicant (i.e., a corporate officer of a corporate applicant, the
`equivalent of an officer for unincorporated organizations or limited liability company applicants, a general partner of a partnership applicant,
`each applicant for applications with multiple individual applicants, etc.).  37 C.F.R. §2.62(b); TMEP §§712 et seq.  The signer must personally
`sign and date the response or manually enter their electronic signature in the signature block.  37 C.F.R. §2.193(a)(1)-(2); TMEP §605.02.
`
`Applicant may wish to hire an attorney to assist in prosecuting this application because of the legal technicalities involved.  The Office, however,
`cannot aid in the selection of an attorney.  37 C.F.R. §2.11.  Applicant may wish to consult a local telephone directory for a listing of attorneys
`specializing in trademark or intellectual property law, or seek guidance from a local bar association attorney-referral service.
`
`TEAS PLUS APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY OR SUBMIT FEE:  Applicants who filed their application
`online using the reduced-fee TEAS Plus application must continue to submit certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to
`Office actions.  For a complete list of these documents, see TMEP §819.02(b).  In addition, such applicants must accept correspondence from the
`Office via e-mail throughout the examination process and must maintain a valid e-mail address.  37 C.F.R. §2.23(a)(2); TMEP §§819, 819.02(a). 
`TEAS Plus applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional fee of $50 per international class of goods and/or services. 
`37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(iv); TMEP §819.04.  Responding by telephone to authorize an examiner’s amendment will not incur this additional fee.

`skit would play itself out. This skit was done frequently in short reels from

`Origins ofthe "_?" chant
`
`[edit]
`
`It has been debated exactly where it started, but some claim it
`became part ofa chant forfans cheering on theirfavorite team.
`began with Southern University fans either in the late 1950s or early 19TBs and went "_talkin' 'bout beatin' dem Jags" — Southern
`University being nicknamed the Jaguars.[41 Another claim is that around the same time it began at St. Augustine High School, a historically
`African-American all-boys Catholic high school in New Orleans, and then spread to the New Orleans Public Schools. Another claim is that
`the cheer originated at Patterson High School in Patterson, Louisiana [home ofSaints' running back Dalton Hilliard).[3] In the late 19?Ds fans
`at Alcorn State University and Louisiana State University picked up on the cheer.[5] By 1983, the New Orleans Saints organization officially
`adopted it during the tenure of coach Burn Phillips, and Aaron Neville (along with local musicians Sal and Steve lvlonistere and Carlo
`Nuccio) recorded a version of "When the Saints Go lvlarching In" that incorporated the chant (performed by a group ofSai'ms players) that
`became a major local hit, due in part to the support of sportscaster Pon Swoboda and the fact that Saint's fans had been using the chant
`already.[3] Meanwhile, in about 1981 Cincinnati Bengals fans and players had started with their similar "Who Dey" cheerlsl

`Afterthe Saints won the NFC Championship Game on January 24, 2010, against the Minnesota Vikings in the Superdome, fans from all
`across New Orleans, including fans who were exiting the game, started a Mardi Gras-style
`on Bourbon Street with modified
`lyrics, chanting,

`ever in their 43-year historymlal In Super Bowl XLIV, on February 2', 2010, the Saints beat the Indianapolis Colts 31-1?

`[edit]
`
`In recent years the phrase Nation" has become a popularterm forthe community ofSaints fanslgllmlllll According to Bobby
`Hebert, formerly a Saints quarterback and currently a sports commentator in New Orleans, the term
`Nation" originated after a

`
`In January 2010, the NFL sent cease and desist letters to several Louisiana t-shii‘t shop owners ordering them to cease producing t-shiits
`bearing the phrase

`registered in 1983 after recording the version of "When the Saints Go Marching In" that incorporated the chantIHl The lvlonistere's record is
`listed as inactive, meaning that it was not renewed upon expiration. The Saints organization, through their company The New Orieans
`Louisiana Saint's Limited Partnership, also registered the mark

`"n" became famous as part of a chant for Fans cheering on the
`New Orleans m ("H say dey gonna beat dem m0. As a
`result
`fans have been dubbed "Who Dats."
`
`
`It has been debated exactly where it started, but some claim it began
`with Southern University fans either in the late 19605 or early 19?Us and
`went "n say dey gonna beat dem Jags" - Southern University
`being nicknamed the Jaguars.
`
`Another claim is that around the same time it began at St. Augustine
`High School, a historically African-American all boys Catholic high school
`in New Orleans, and then spread to the New Orleans Public Schools.
`
`Another claim is that the cheer originated at Patterson High School in
`PattersonJ Louisiana (home of
`running back Dalton Hilliard).
`
`
`
`By 1983, the New Orleans '
`. organization officially adopted it
`
`during the tenure of coach Bum Phillips, and Aaron Neville (along with
`local musicians Sal and Steve Monistere and ICarlo Nuccio) recorded a
`version of "When the W Go Marching In" that incorporated the
`chant (performed by a group of players) that became a major
`local hit, due in part to the support of sportscaster Ron Swoboda and the
`fact thathans had been using the chant already.
