`
`(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)R
`
`efusal of Registration: Likelihood of Confusion
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the marks in U.S. Registration Nos. 118088, 3071682
`and 2861443.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registration.(cid:160) Trademark Act
`Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered mark that it is likely a potential consumer would be confused,
`
`mistaken, or deceived as to the source of the goods of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`A determination of likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d) is made on a case-by case basis and the factors set forth in In re E. I. du Pont de
`Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973) aid in this determination.(cid:160) Citigroup Inc. v. Capital City Bank Grp., Inc., 637
`F.3d 1344, 1349, 98 USPQ2d 1253, 1256 (Fed. Cir. 2011) (citing On-Line Careline, Inc. v. Am. Online, Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1085, 56 USPQ2d
`1471, 1474 (Fed. Cir. 2000)).(cid:160) Not all the du Pont factors, however, are necessarily relevant or of equal weight, and any one of the factors may
`control in a given case, depending upon the evidence of record.(cid:160) Citigroup Inc. v. Capital City Bank Grp., Inc., 637 F.3d at 1355, 98 USPQ2d at
`1260; In re Majestic Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 1315, 65 USPQ2d 1201, 1204 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476
`F.2d at 1361-62, 177 USPQ at 567.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the following factors are the most relevant:(cid:160) similarity of the marks, similarity and nature of the goods, and similarity of the trade
`channels of the goods.(cid:160) See In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1361-62, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc. ,
`59 USPQ2d 1593, 1595-96 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`imilarity of the Marks
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant has applied to register SUPER GOLDEN FRIENDS, and the registered marks are all for “SUPER FRIENDS.” (cid:160) (cid:160) Adding a term to
`a registered mark generally does not obviate the similarity between the compared marks, as in the present case, nor does it overcome a likelihood
`of confusion under Section 2(d).(cid:160) See Coca-Cola Bottling Co. v. Jos. E. Seagram & Sons, Inc., 526 F.2d 556, 557, 188 USPQ 105, 106 (C.C.P.A.
`1975) (finding BENGAL and BENGAL LANCER and design confusingly similar); In re Toshiba Med. Sys. Corp., 91 USPQ2d 1266, 1269
`(TTAB 2009) (finding TITAN and VANTAGE TITAN confusingly similar); In re El Torito Rests., Inc., 9 USPQ2d 2002, 2004 (TTAB 1988)
`(finding MACHO and MACHO COMBOS confusingly similar); TMEP §1207.01(b)(iii).(cid:160) In the present case, the marks are identical in part.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`omparison of the Goods
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant has identified the following goods: “cartoon prints and cartoon strips.” (cid:160) The registered marks cover comic magazines, assorted
`party goods and toys; and motion pictures.(cid:160) The attached dictionary definition and the pages from various cartoon licensing organizations makes
`it clear that applicant’s goods and the products and services offered by the registrant are clearly related. (cid:160) Cartoon licensing covers a wide variety
`of goods and services, including magazines, party goods and movies.

`

`

`Information on How to Respond to this Office Action
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or this application to proceed to registration, applicant must explicitly address each refusal and/or requirement raised in this Office action.(cid:160) If
`the action includes a refusal, applicant may provide arguments and/or evidence as to why the refusal should be withdrawn and the mark should
`register.(cid:160) Applicant may also have other options for responding to a refusal and should consider such options carefully.(cid:160) To respond to
`requirements and certain refusal response options, applicant should set forth in writing the required changes or statements.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant does not respond to this Office action within six months of the issue/mailing date, or responds by expressly abandoning the
`application, the application process will end, the trademark will fail to register, and the application fee will not be refunded.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C.
`§1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.65(a), 2.68(a), 2.209(a); TMEP §§405.04, 718.01, 718.02.(cid:160) Where the application has been abandoned for failure to
`respond to an Office action, applicant’s only option would be to file a timely petition to revive the application, which, if granted, would allow
`the application to return to active status.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.66; TMEP §1714.(cid:160) There is a $100 fee for such petitions.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.6,
`2.66(b)(1).
`
`(cid:160)B
`
`ecause of the legal technicalities and strict deadlines involved in the USPTO application process, applicant may wish to hire a private
`attorney specializing in trademark matters to represent applicant in this process and provide legal advice.(cid:160) Although the undersigned trademark
`examining attorney is permitted to help an applicant understand the contents of an Office action as well as the application process in general, no
`
`USPTO attorney or staff is permitted to give an applicant legal advice or statements about an applicant’s legal rights. (cid:160) TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.(cid:160)(cid:160)
