`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE
`RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 11/18/2011
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he 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(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)N
`
`O CONFLICTING MARKS
`
`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).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`NFORMALITIES
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant must respond to the following informalities.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`isclaimer
`
`pplicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “ADULT” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes a feature of the services,
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`e.g., that the word refers to a genre of programs that would be regarded as “adult entertainment” as evidenced from the specimen of record. (cid:160) See
`attached web evidence of what is regarded as adult entertainment. See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following is the accepted standard format for a disclaimer:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “ADULT” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he Office can require an applicant to disclaim an unregistrable part of a mark consisting of particular wording, symbols, numbers, design
`elements or combinations thereof.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1056(a).(cid:160) 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.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1052(e).(cid:160)
`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).(cid:160) See TMEP §§1213,
`
`1213.03.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Failure to comply with a disclaimer requirement can result in a refusal to register the entire mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
` “disclaimer” is a statement that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of a mark. (cid:160) TMEP §1213.(cid:160) A
`
`disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the applied-for mark.(cid:160) See TMEP §1213.10.(cid:160)(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) TMEP §§1213, 1213.10.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following cases further explain the disclaimer requirement:(cid:160) Dena Corp. v. Belvedere Int’l Inc ., 950 F.2d 1555, 21 USPQ2d 1047 (Fed. Cir.
`1991); In re Brown-Forman Corp., 81 USPQ2d 1284 (TTAB 2006); In re Kraft, Inc., 218 USPQ 571 (TTAB 1983).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`pecimen Does Not Show Use with Recited Services
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he specimen is not acceptable because it does not show the applied-for mark used in connection with any of the goods and/or services specified
`in the application.(cid:160) An application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) must include a specimen showing the applied-for mark in use in
`commerce for each class of goods and/or services.(cid:160) Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv),
`
`2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In this case, the specimen is described as an “ad campaign mailing insert” however appears to be a page from a search engine where one may
`select one of the subjects listed therein.(cid:160) The page is not an advertisement for the provision of “Digital video, audio, and multimedia publishing
`services; Entertainment in the nature of an on-going special variety, news, music or comedy show featuring Spoofs, parody, fiction, drama, and
`reality based programming broadcast over television, satellite, audio, and video media; Entertainment media production services for motion
`pictures, television and Internet; Entertainment services in the nature of development, creation, production and post-production services of
`multimedia entertainment content; Entertainment services, namely, a multimedia program series featuring comedy, action and adventure
`distributed via various platforms across multiple forms of transmission media; [of] Entertainment services, namely, multimedia production
`
`services for others.(cid:160) There is no indication that there is any show or program provided in connection with this mark in the material provided.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(Note:(cid:160) The spelling of “parady” in the identification has been corrected to “parody” in the Trademark Databases.
`applicant is asked to address this issue in response to this office action.)
`
`(cid:160) If this is not correct, the
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must submit the following:
`
`(1)(cid:160) A substitute specimen showing the mark in use in commerce for each class of goods and/or services specified in the application; and
`
`(2)(cid:160) The following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20:(cid:160) “ The substitute specimen was
`in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application.” (cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.59(a); TMEP §904.05; see 37 C.F.R.
`§2.193(e)(1).(cid:160) If submitting a substitute specimen requires an amendment to the dates of use, applicant must also verify the amended
`dates.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(c); TMEP §904.05.
`
`(cid:160)E
`
`xamples of specimens for goods are tags, labels, instruction manuals, containers, photographs that show the mark on the actual goods or
`packaging, or displays associated with the actual goods at their point of sale.(cid:160) See TMEP §§904.03 et seq.(cid:160) Examples of specimens for services
`are signs, photographs, brochures, website printouts or advertisements that show the mark used in the actual sale or advertising of the services.(cid:160)
`See TMEP §§1301.04 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant cannot satisfy the above requirements, applicant may amend the application from a use in commerce basis under Section 1(a) to an
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`intent to use basis under Section 1(b), for which no specimen is required.(cid:160) See TMEP §806.03(c).(cid:160) However, if applicant amends the basis to
`Section 1(b), registration will not be granted until applicant later amends the application back to use in commerce by filing an acceptable
`
`allegation of use with a proper specimen.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c), (d); 37 C.F.R. §§2.76, 2.88; TMEP §1103.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`To amend to Section 1(b), applicant must submit the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20:(cid:160)
`“ Applicant has had a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods and/or services listed in the
`application as of the filing date of the application.” (cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(2); TMEP §806.01(b); see 15 U.S.C. §1051(b); 37 C.F.R.
`§§2.35(b)(1), 2.193(e)(1).
`
`(cid:160)P
`
`ending receipt of a proper response, registration is refused because the specimen does not show the applied-for mark in use in commerce as a
`trademark and/or service mark for the identified goods and/or services.(cid:160) Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; 37 C.F.R.
`§§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).
`
`(cid:160)F

`applicant should do the following:(cid:160) (1) answer “yes” to the TEAS response form wizard question to “submit a new or substitute specimen;” (2)
`attach a jpg or pdf file of the substitute specimen; (3) select the statement that “The substitute specimen(s) was in use in commerce at least as
`early as the filing date of the application.”; and (4) sign personally or enter personally his/her electronic signature, name in printed or typed

`
`804.01(b).(cid:160) Please note that these steps appear on different pages of the TEAS response form.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`mailto:TEAS@uspto.gov for technical assistance regarding the TEAS response form.
`
`(cid:160)T

`Oct. 2010), a manual written by USPTO staff that explains the laws and procedures governing the trademark application, registration, and post
