`
`Date: November 24, 2014
`
`Response to Office Action Dated 9/ 1 1/2014
`
`Section 2 d Refusal — Likelihood of Confusion
`
`The Examining Attorney refused registration under Section 2(d) based on Reg. No.
`2831734 for CONTENT+. This registration was cancelled under Section 8 on November 14,
`2014. As such, Applicant requests that this refusal be lifted.
`
`Advisory — Prior Pending Application
`
`The Examining Attorney also stated that Applicant’s mark might be refused under
`Section 2(d) based on Application Serial No. 86242997 for the following mark:
`
`contentTad
`
`As a preliminary response, and reserving the offer to make a fuller argument if a refu.sal based on
`the application does issue. Applicant notes that the cited application was allowed by the Office
`before the CONTENT+ registration cited by the Examining Attorney (Reg. No. 2831734) was
`cancelled, and the registration was not cited against the application. If the cited application and
`the cited registration could co-exist for similar services (at least to the extent that the Examining
`Attorney finds overlap with Applicant’s services), Applicant respectfully submits that
`its
`CONTENT+ mark can also co-exist with the cited application without a likelihood of confusion.
`
`Disclaimer
`
`Applicant requests that its mark and the drawing of its mark be amended to remove the
`space between “CONTENT” and “-1-” to comport the mark and drawing with the submitted
`specimen. See, for example, these excerpts from the specimen:
`
`HOW CONTENT+ HELPS
`
`

`

`any industry lead
`es of Content+. Co
`
`This simple change of a space is not a material change to the mark and the commercial
`impression is the same.
`See In re Innovative Cos. LLC, 88 USPQ2d 1095 (TTAB 2008)
`(finding amendment from “FREEDOMSTONE” to “FREEDOM STONE” not to be a material
`alteration) .
`
`With this amendment, Applicant respectfully submits that
`“content” is now moot.
