`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: 8/6/2012
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`
`
`THIS IS A FINAL ACTION.
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`This action addresses the applicant’s 05/23/12 response to the 12/05/11 office action.(cid:160) The office action required that the applicant provide a
`disclaimer of the wording “Eggs”, “Wipes”, and “Hygiene”.(cid:160) The office action also required that the applicant amend the identification of
`goods/services and to address a drawing requirement.(cid:160) The applicant provided an acceptable amended identification of goods and provided a
`
`substitute drawing to address the drawing requirement.(cid:160) As a result, these issues are now satisfied.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In regard to the disclaimer, the applicant argues that the descriptive terms should be considered in their entirety and that the words are combined
`in a unique and unusual combination.(cid:160) In particular, the applicant argues that “one does not customarily associate sanitizing eggs in a coop in the
`same manner that one sanities hands or babies. Nor does one normally apply the term “hygiene” to a chicken coop.”(cid:160) See the applicant’s May
`23, 2012 response.(cid:160) Furthermore, the applicant argues that “egg wipes” is a new innovative product used to clean eggs in a coop.(cid:160) Upon careful
`review of the applicant’s response, the undersigned finds the arguments unpersuasive.(cid:160) As a result, the disclaimer requirement is now made
`
`FINAL.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The applicant argues that the descriptive wording should be considered in its entirety, however, the applicant’s mark includes additional
`elements that include design components of the mark.(cid:160) Furthermore, the words are separated by the same design elements and are not presented
`as one whole mark, e.g. as a hyphenated word or conjunction.(cid:160) As a presented, if all of the wording was not descriptive, only certain words may
`have required a disclaimer, but unfortunately, here, all of the wording is descriptive.(cid:160) Interestingly, the applicant states that all of the descriptive
`wording must be construed in its entirety, yet the applicant then argues that “[p]lacing the wording ‘egg” with ‘wipes’ is a unique combination,
`” in other words, the applicant has unilaterally dissected the descriptive words to provide individual analysis of the limited wording “egg
`wipes”.(cid:160) The applicant argues that the term “wipe” is commonly used in connection with hand wipes and baby wipes, however, simply because
`the applicant is the first to use a term, does not obviate the descriptiveness of the term.(cid:160) The fact that an applicant may be the first and only user
`of a merely descriptive designation is not dispositive on the issue of descriptiveness where, as here, the evidence shows that the word or term is
`merely descriptive.(cid:160) See In re Sun Microsystems, Inc., 59 USPQ2d 1084, 1087 (TTAB 2001); In re Acuson, 225 USPQ 790, 792 (TTAB 1985);
`TMEP §1209.03(c).
`
`(cid:160) F
`
`urther, the applicant argues that “[c]ommon words in which no one may acquire a trademark because they are descriptive or generic, may, when
`used in combination become a valid trademark.”(cid:160) Association of Co-operative Members, Inc. v. Farmland Industries, Inc., 684 F.2d 1134 (5th
`Cir. 1982)(cid:160) First, this case concerned two similar design marks and the issue was whether the latter mark would be prohibited because it was an
`invalid trademark.(cid:160) The court noted that the appellee did not present a likelihood of confusion argument, therefore the holding was limited to the
`issue of whether the mark was a valid trademark.(cid:160) Here, the present issue concerned descriptive wording that must be disclaimed.(cid:160)(cid:160) Descriptive
`
`words may be used in combination and then be registrable, but only under certain circumstances.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Generally, a mark that merely combines descriptive words is not registrable if the individual components retain their descriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods and/or services and the combination results in a composite mark that is itself descriptive.(cid:160) TMEP §1209.03(d); see, e.g., In
`re King Koil Licensing Co. Inc., 79 USPQ2d 1048, 1052 (TTAB 2006) (holding THE BREATHABLE MATTRESS merely descriptive of beds,
`mattresses, box springs and pillows where the evidence showed that the term “BREATHABLE” retained its ordinary dictionary meaning when
`combined with the term “MATTRESS” and the resulting combination was used in the relevant industry in a descriptive sense); In re Associated
`Theatre Clubs Co., 9 USPQ2d 1660, 1663 (TTAB 1988) (holding GROUP SALES BOX OFFICE merely descriptive of theater ticket sales
`services because such wording “is nothing more than a combination of the two common descriptive terms most applicable to applicant's services
`
`which in combination achieve no different status but remain a common descriptive compound expression”). (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Only where the combination of descriptive terms creates a unitary mark with a unique, incongruous, or otherwise nondescriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods and/or services is the combined mark registrable.(cid:160) See, e.g., In re Colonial Stores, Inc., 394 F.2d 549, 551, 157 USPQ 382,
`384 (C.C.P.A. 1968).
`
`(cid:160) I
`
`n this case, both the individual components and the composite result are descriptive of applicant’s goods and/or services and do not create a
`unique, incongruous or nondescriptive meaning in relation to the goods and/or services.(cid:160) Specifically, all of the wording maintains its descriptive
`meaning.(cid:160) Simply, because an applicant is the first to use a term, does not create a valid trademark.(cid:160) Instead, all of the wording maintains its
`descriptive meaning, namely “egg”, “wipes”, and “hygiene” for the applicant’s egg cleaning wipes, which are used to clean eggs in a hygienic
`or sterile manner.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he applicant also argues that “hygiene” used in connection with eggs found in a chicken coop is unusual.(cid:160) To support this conclusion, the
`applicant cites “Roach Motel” in American Home Products Corporation v. Johnson Chemical C. Inc., 589 F. 2d 103, 106 (2d Cir. 1978) to
`support the proposition that the combination of the descriptive wording creates an incongruity because one does not customarily associate
`sanitizing eggs in a coop in the same manner that one sanitizes hands or babies.(cid:160) Unlike the “Roach Motel” case, where the court found the term
`“motel” suggestive and not descriptive, the terms here are descriptive.(cid:160) By way of example, the applicant’s own identification of goods, which
`clearly states that the goods are disposable wipes with a natural cleaning solution for cleaning eggs from a coop.(cid:160) Therefore, unlike the American
`Home Products case, there is no suggestive wording, but instead descriptive wording because the applicant states itself that the wipes are used to
`
`clean or sanitize eggs.(cid:160) So while, this may be unusual, the applicant itself has stated in its own description that the goods are used in this manner.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Alternatively, the applicant argues that the term “egg wipes” was selected as a trademark because it parodies or played upon established terms of
`“hand wipes” and “baby wipes”.(cid:160) See Jordache Enterprises, Inc. v. Hogg Wyld, Ltd., 828 F.2d 1482 (10th Cir. 1987).(cid:160) Again, this argument is
`untenable because hand wipes are used to wipe hands, baby wipes are used to wipe babies and egg wipes are used to wipe eggs.(cid:160) As a result, the
`selected are clearly descriptive and describe how the goods will be used, which is bolstered by the applicant’s own identification of goods, which
`state the same.
`
`(cid:160) D
`
`isclaimer Requirement- Final
`The applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “Egg”, “Wipes”, and “Hygiene” apart from the mark as shown. Trademark Act Section
`6, 15 U.S.C. §1056; TMEP §§1213 and 1213.03(a).(cid:160) Macmillan.com defines “hygiene” as follows:(cid:160) “
`the practice of keeping yourself and the
`things around you clean, in order to prevent illness and disease.”(cid:160) [Captured December 5, 2011] (cid:160) The submitted specimen states that the wipes are
`“soft biodegradable wet wipes for cleaning eggs from the coop.” (cid:160)Eggs are a foodstuff that comes from an animal.(cid:160) See the attached on-line
`website “Wipes” are defined as “a piece of absorbent cloth or paper used for wiping or drying.(cid:160) See that attached definition.(cid:160) The applicant’s
`describes wipes as a biodegradable cloth that is impregnated with cleaning solution.(cid:160) See the applicant’s identification.(cid:160) (cid:160)The wording is merely
`descriptive because it describes a significant feature or characteristic of the applicant’s egg cleaning wipes, which are used to clean eggs in a
`hygienic or sterile manner.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`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 “Egg”, “Wipes”, and “Hygiene” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`The Office may 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 may 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).
`
`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)
`
`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)
`
`The following cases 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 Kraft, Inc., 218 USPQ 571 (TTAB 1983); In re EBS Data Processing, Inc., 212 USPQ 964 (TTAB 1981); In re National Presto Industries,
`Inc., 197 USPQ 188 (TTAB 1977).
