`
`TRICT 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: 9/23/2012
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issues 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 NOTED
`
`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)T
`
`RADEMARK ACT SECTION 2(e)(2) REFUSAL
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration is refused because the applied-for mark is primarily geographically descriptive of the origin of applicant’s services.(cid:160) Trademark Act
`Section 2(e)(2), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(2); see TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(a).
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`A mark is primarily geographically descriptive when the following is demonstrated:
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The primary significance of the mark is a generally known geographic place or location;
`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The services for which applicant seeks registration originate in the geographic place identified in the mark; and
`
`(3)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Purchasers would be likely to make a services-place association; that is, purchasers would be likely to believe that the services
`originate in the geographic place identified in the mark.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1210.01(a); see In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 824 F.2d 957, 959, 3 USPQ2d 1450, 1452 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In
`re Joint-Stock Co. “Baik,” 80 USPQ2d 1305, 1309 (TTAB 2006).
`
`(cid:160)H
`
`ere, the applicant seeks registration of GOTHAM BURLESQUE, in standard characters. “Gotham” is a nick name for New York City.(cid:160) (See
`attached excerpt from the Yahoo Education website). Commonly used nicknames for geographic locations are generally treated as equivalent to
`the proper geographic name of the place identified.(cid:160) TMEP §1210.02(a); see, e.g., In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542, 1543 (TTAB 1998)
`(holding CAROLINA APPAREL primarily geographically descriptive of retail clothing store services where evidence showed that “Carolina” is
`used to indicate either the state of North Carolina or South Carolina); In re Charles S. Loeb Pipes, Inc., 190 USPQ 238, 245 (TTAB 1976)
`(holding OLD DOMINION is “the accepted nickname for the State of Virginia”).
`
`(cid:160)M
`
`oreover, the applicant’s website indicates that the applicant shows are provided in New York City.(cid:160) When there is no genuine issue that the
`geographical significance of a term is its primary significance, and the geographical place is neither obscure nor remote, a public association of
`the services with the place is presumed if an applicant’s services originate in the place named in the mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1210.04; see, e.g., In re Cal.
`Pizza Kitchen Inc., 10 USPQ2d 1704, 1706 (TTAB 1988) (holding CALIFORNIA PIZZA KITCHEN primarily geographically descriptive of
`restaurant services rendered in California); In re Handler Fenton Ws., Inc., 214 USPQ 848, 849-50 (TTAB 1982) (holding DENVER
`WESTERNS primarily geographically descriptive of western-style shirts originating in Denver).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he word “burlesque” is defined as a “variety show characterized by broad ribald comedy, dancing, and striptease.” American Heritage
`Dictionary of the English Language, (4th ed. 2012). The applicant is providing a variety show that is likely either burlesque in nature or features
`burlesque style performances. (cid:160) Accordingly, the word “BURLESQUE” in the mark is generic for the services. The addition of generic or highly
`descriptive wording to a geographic word or term does not diminish that geographic word or term’s primary geographic significance.(cid:160) TMEP
`§1210.02(c)(ii); see, e.g., In re JT Tobacconists, 59 USPQ2d 1080 (TTAB 2001) (holding MINNESOTA CIGAR COMPANY primarily
`geographically descriptive of cigars); In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542 (TTAB 1998) (holding CAROLINA APPAREL primarily
`geographically descriptive of retail clothing store services); In re Chalk’s Int’l Airlines Inc., 21 USPQ2d 1637 (TTAB 1991) (holding
`PARADISE ISLAND AIRLINES primarily geographically descriptive of the transportation of passengers and goods by air).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`eeking Registration On The Supplemental Register:
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applied-for mark has been refused registration on the Principal Register.(cid:160) Applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and
`arguments in support of registration and/or by amending the application to seek registration on the Supplemental Register.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1091;
`37 C.F.R. §§2.47, 2.75(a); TMEP §§801.02(b), 816.(cid:160) Amending to the Supplemental Register does not preclude applicant from submitting
`evidence and arguments against the refusal(s).(cid:160) TMEP §816.04.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough registration on the Supplemental Register does not afford all the benefits of registration on the Principal Register, it does provide the
`following advantages:
`
`The registrant may use the registration symbol ®;
`The registration is protected against registration of a confusingly similar mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d);
`The registrant may bring suit for infringement in federal court; and
`The registration may serve as the basis for a filing in a foreign country under the Paris Convention and other international agreements.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ee 15 U.S.C. §§1052(d), 1091, 1094; TMEP §815.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`isclaimer Of Generic Wording Required:
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant is advised that, if the application is amended to seek registration on the Principal Register under Trademark Act Section 2(f) or on the
`Supplemental Register, applicant must disclaim “BURLESQUE” because such wording appears to be generic in the context of applicant’s
`services.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); In re Wella Corp., 565 F.2d 143, 196 USPQ 7 (C.C.P.A. 1977); In re Creative Goldsmiths of Wash., Inc., 229
`USPQ 766 (TTAB 1986); TMEP §1213.03(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following is the standardized format for a disclaimer:
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “BURLESQUE” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`DENTIFICATION OF SERVICES
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) Specifically, the applicant must clarify the nature of the
`“visual and audio performances” and the means by which the “musical, dance and variety shows” are provided.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:(cid:160) (cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`“entertainment services, namely, providing live visual and audio performances in the nature of musical, dance, and variety shows,” in
`International Class 41.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`dditions Not Allowed:(cid:160) An applicant may amend an identification of services only to clarify or limit the services; adding to or broadening the
`scope of the services is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)O
`
`n-line Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual:(cid:160) For the applicant’s reference the examining attorney provides the following
`address for the identification of goods and services manual on the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s web site:

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant may wish to consult the on-line identification manual for a listing of acceptable common names of goods and services.(cid:160) While the
`list is not exhaustive, the manual should give the applicant direction regarding proper international classification and information and specificity
`required in the applicant’s identification of goods and/or services.
`
`(cid:160)Q
