`(cid:160)
`

`
`Section 2(e)(2) Refusal for Geographic Descriptiveness
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration is refused because the mark is primarily geographically descriptive of the origin of applicant’s goods and services. (cid:160) Trademark Act
`Section 2(e)(2), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(2); TMEP §§1210.01(a) and 1210.04 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
` three-part test is applied to determine whether a mark is primarily geographically descriptive of the goods and/or services within the meaning
`
`of Trademark Act Section 2(e)(2):(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) the primary significance of the mark must be geographic, i.e., the mark names a particular geographic place or location;
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) purchasers would be likely to make a goods-place or services-place association, i.e., purchasers are likely to believe the goods or
`services originate in the geographic location identified in the mark; and
`
`(3)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) the goods and/or services originate in the place identified in the mark.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`TMEP §1210.01(a); See In re MCO Properties, Inc., 38 USPQ2d 1154 (TTAB 1995); In re California Pizza Kitchen, 10 USPQ2d 1704 (TTAB
`1989).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he attached evidence from the official Pearland city website shows that the primary significance of the term “Pearland” in the mark is the
`name of a geographic location.(cid:160) Purchasers are likely to believe the goods and services originate in that geographic location because applicant is
`located there.(cid:160) Thus there is a presumed goods-place and services-place association in this case.(cid:160) In re JT Tobacconists, 59 USPQ2d 1080 (TTAB
`2001); In re U.S. Cargo, Inc., 49 USPQ2d 1702 (TTAB 1998); In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542 (TTAB 1998); In re Chalk’s
`International Airlines Inc., 21 USPQ2d 1637 (TTAB 1991); In re California Pizza Kitchen, 10 USPQ2d 1704 (TTAB 1989); In re Handler
`Fenton Westerns, Inc., 214 USPQ 848 (TTAB 1982); TMEP §1210.04.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he addition of a generic or merely descriptive term to a geographic term does not obviate a determination of geographic descriptiveness.(cid:160) See In
`re JT Tobacconists, 59 USPQ2d 1080 (TTAB 2001); In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542 (TTAB 1998); In re Chalk’s International
`Airlines Inc., 21 USPQ2d 1637 (TTAB 1991); In re Wine Society of America Inc., 12 USPQ2d 1139 (TTAB 1989); In re California Pizza
`Kitchen Inc., 10 USPQ2d 1704 (TTAB 1988); In re Cambridge Digital Systems, 1 USPQ2d 1659 (TTAB 1986); In re BankAmerica Corp., 231
`
`USPQ 873 (TTAB 1986); In re Application of Handler Fenton Westerns, Inc. 214 USPQ 848 (TTAB 1982); TMEP §1210.02(c)(ii).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant’s use of the additional wording “POOLS INC.” does not overcome the geographic descriptiveness of the mark.
`
`(cid:160) “Pool” is the
`
`generic term for what applicant provides through its services, namely, swimming pools.(cid:160) See attached dictionary evidence.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Terms such as “Corporation,” “Inc.” and “Ltd.” merely specify applicant’s entity type and do not function as a trademark or service mark to
`indicate source.(cid:160)(cid:160) This requires a disclaimer of the term if applicant seeks registration on the Supplemental Register or on the Principal Register
`under 2(f) (see below).(cid:160) See In re Patent & Trademark Services, Inc., 49 USPQ2d 1537, 1539-40 (TTAB 1998); In re Industrial Relations
`Counselors, Inc., 224 USPQ 309, 310 n.2 (TTAB 1984); In re E. I. Kane, Inc., 221 USPQ 1203, 1206 (TTAB 1984); In re Packaging
`Specialists, Inc., 221 USPQ 917, 919 (TTAB 1984); TMEP §1213.03(d).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant May Respond
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough the trademark examining attorney has refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal to register by submitting evidence and
`arguments in support of registration.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s 2(f) Claim of Acquired Distinctiveness
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`dditional evidence is needed to support the claim of distinctiveness.(cid:160) Applicant’s allegation of five years’ use alone is insufficient evidence of
`distinctiveness in this case because applicant’s mark is highly descriptive of the goods and services. (cid:160) TMEP §1212.05(a).(cid:160) In re Kalmbach
`Publishing Co., 14 USPQ2d 1490 (TTAB 1989).(cid:160) If applicant submits sufficient evidence to support its 2(f) claim, the examining attorney will
`withdraw the refusal for geographic descriptiveness.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant must establish acquired distinctiveness by a preponderance of the evidence.(cid:160) Yamaha Int’l Corp. v. Hoshino Gakki Co. , 840 F.2d
`1572, 6 USPQ2d 1001 (Fed. Cir. 1988).(cid:160) This evidence may include specific dollar sales under the mark, advertising figures, samples of
`advertising, consumer or dealer statements of recognition of the mark, and any other evidence that establishes the distinctiveness of the mark as
`an indicator of source.(cid:160) The Office will decide each case on its own merits.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f additional evidence is submitted, the following factors will be considered when assessing its sufficiency:(cid:160) (1) how long applicant has used the
`mark; (2) the type and amount of advertising of the mark; and (3) applicant’s efforts to associate the mark with the goods and/or services. (cid:160) See
`Ralston Purina Co. v. Thomas J. Lipton, Inc., 341 F. Supp. 129, 173 USPQ 820 (S.D.N.Y. 1972); In re Packaging Specialists, Inc., 221 USPQ
`917 (TTAB 1984); 37 C.F.R. §2.41; TMEP §§1212, 1212.01 and 1212.06 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant should also note that it may only claim 2(f) in part on the mark for the portion of the mark PEARLAND.(cid:160) The wording POOLS, INC.
`
`

`
`may not be covered by a 2(f) claim for this mark and must be disclaimed.(cid:160) See below.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`isclaimer of Generic Matter on Supplemental Register or Under Section 2(f)
`
`(cid:160) P
`
`lease note that if registration of the mark is sought on the Supplemental Register or on the Principal Register under Section 2(f), the Office may
`require applicant to disclaim “POOLS INC.” because such wording may be generic in the context of applicant’s goods and/or services.
`(cid:160) In re
`Wella Corp., 565 F.2d 143, 196 USPQ 7 (C.C.P.A. 1977); In re Creative Goldsmiths of Washington, Inc., 229 USPQ 766 (TTAB 1986); In re
`Carolyn’s Candies, Inc. , 206 USPQ 356 (TTAB 1980); TMEP §1213.03(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he 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 “POOLS INC.” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ee In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`(cid:160)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.
`

`
`(cid:160)S
`
`pecimen Not Acceptable – Goods

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he current specimen of record comprises of company letterhead and is unacceptable as evidence of actual service mark use because it does not
`show a connection between use of the mark and the services themselves.(cid:160) Examples of acceptable specimens for services are signs, photographs,
`brochures, website printouts or advertisements that show the mark used in the sale or advertising of the services.(cid:160) TMEP §§1301.04 et seq.

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`his refusal will be withdrawn if applicant submits (1) a substitute specimen showing proper trademark use of the proposed mark on or in
`connection with the identified goods, and (2) a statement that “the substitute specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date
`of the application,” verified with an affidavit or a signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20. (cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.59(a); TMEP §904.09.
`
`(cid:160)P
