`
`SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL

`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 4063410.(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)T
`
`he applicant has applied to register KONG KING OF SKULL ISLAND for "Entertainment services in the nature of live-action, comedy, drama,
`animated, and reality television series; production of live-action, comedy, drama, animated and reality television series; distribution and display
`of live-action, comedy, drama and animated motion picture theatrical films; production of live-action, comedy, drama and animated motion

`
`he registered mark is KING KONG 360 3-D, with "3-D" disclaimed, for "amusement park services".
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n any likelihood of confusion determination, two key considerations are similarity of the marks and similarity or relatedness of the goods and/or
`services.(cid:160) Syndicat Des Proprietaires Viticulteurs De Chateauneuf-Du-Pape v. Pasquier DesVignes, 107 USPQ2d 1930, 1938 (TTAB 2013)

`USPQ2d 1498, 1499 (TTAB 2010); see TMEP §1207.01.(cid:160) That is, the marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance,

`Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1165, 64 USPQ2d 1375, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2002); TMEP §1207.01, (a)(vi).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`imilarity of the Marks
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applied-for mark KONG KING OF SKULL ISLAND is similar to the registered mark KING KONG 360 3-D because the marks both
`contain the wording "KING" and "KONG", followed by contextual matter.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he commercial impression created by the wording "KONG KING" in applicant's mark is highly similar to "KING KONG" in the registered
`mark as it consists of the same terms, merely transposed. Further, because the marks contain a highly similar word pairing, i.e., applicant's
`KONG KING versus registrant's KING KONG, the marks convey a highly similar connotation, namely "the huge apelike monster" featured in
`the 1930's film King Kong. (See attached entries from Dictonary.com, Oxforddictionaries.com and Wikipedia.com.)
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he accompanying wording in the applied-for mark—"OF SKULL ISLAND"—strengthens the connection between KONG KING and the
`character King Kong from the 1930's film, since Skull Island is the recognized home of the creature in the film. (See attached excerpt from
`Wikipedia.com.) Moreover, press surrounding an upcoming film featuring the character's origin story, further establishes Skull Island as the home
`of King Kong. (See attached excerpts from Variety.com, Deadline.com and FilmSchoolRejects.com.) Therefore, the coupling "OF SKULL
`ISLAND" with "KONG KING" reinforced the mark's connotation with the creature King Kong and, relatedly, the commercial impression of
`KONG KING as "KING KONG".
`
`(cid:160)W
`
`ith respect to the wording contained in the registered mark, KING KONG is the dominant feature. As noted above, KING KONG has a
`particular and identifiable connotation; the additional wording in the mark, "3-D" is descriptive and "360" is contextually suggestive. Further,
`KING KONG is the first part of the mark and, as such, is more likely to be remembered and retained by potential consumers. Consumers are
`generally more inclined to focus on the first word, prefix, or syllable in any trademark or service mark.(cid:160) See Palm Bay Imps., Inc. v. Veuve
`Clicquot Ponsardin Maison Fondee En 1772, 396 F. 3d 1369, 1372, 73 USPQ2d 1689, 1692 (Fed. Cir. 2005); Presto Prods., Inc. v. Nice-Pak
`Prods., Inc., 9 USPQ2d 1895, 1897 (TTAB 1988) (“it is often the first part of a mark which is most likely to be impressed upon the mind of a
`purchaser and remembered” when making purchasing decisions).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`hus, the applied-for mark is confusingly similar to the registered mark because its connotation and commercial impression are highly similar to
`the part of the registered mark most likely to be impressed upon the mind of a purchaser and remembered (i.e., KING KONG).
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`elatedness of the Services
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or even competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See On-line Careline Inc. v.
`Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000); Recot, Inc. v. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1329, 54 USPQ2d
`1894, 1898 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (“[E] ven if the goods in question are different from, and thus not related to, one another in kind, the same goods can
`
`be related in the mind of the consuming public as to the origin of the goods.”); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i). (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The respective goods and/or services need only be “related in some manner and/or if the circumstances surrounding their marketing [be] such
`that they could give rise to the mistaken belief that [the goods and/or services] emanate from the same source.” (cid:160) Coach Servs., Inc. v. Triumph
`Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1369, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1722 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting 7-Eleven Inc. v. Wechsler, 83 USPQ2d 1715,
`1724 (TTAB 2007)); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n the present case, applicant's entertainment services are highly related to the registered amusement park services. The attached Internet
`evidence consists of screen captures from the websites of Universal Studios and Disney. The screen captures show that amusement parks feature
`attractions based on movies and television series, e.g., King Kong, Harry Potter, Transformers, The Simpsons, Shrek, Indiana Jones, The Little
`Mermaid, Monsters, Inc., Toy Story. In addition, the attached screen captures show that Universal Studios and Disney produce television series
`and movies, as well as provide news and information related to these productions.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`his evidence establishes that the same entity commonly provides the relevant services and markets the services under the same mark, and the
`relevant services are complementary in terms of purpose or function.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant’s and registrant’s services are considered related for
`likelihood of confusion purposes.(cid:160) See, e.g., In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1202-04 (TTAB 2009); In re Toshiba Med. Sys.
`Corp., 91 USPQ2d 1266, 1268-69, 1271-72 (TTAB 2009).
`
`(cid:160)E
`
`vidence obtained from the Internet may be used to support a determination under Trademark Act Section 2(d) that goods and/or services are
`related.(cid:160) See, e.g., In re G.B.I. Tile & Stone, Inc., 92 USPQ2d 1366, 1371 (TTAB 2009); In re Paper Doll Promotions, Inc., 84 USPQ2d
`1660, 1668 (TTAB 2007).
`
`(cid:160)L
`
`ikelihood of Confusion – Conclusion
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`s applicant's mark has a highly similar connotation and commercial impression as that of the registered mark, and the services of the applicant
`
`

`

`are related to the registered services such that the mistaken belief could arise that the services emanate from the same source, there exists a
`likelihood of confusion. Accordingly, registration of the applied-for mark is refused under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.

`
`RIOR PENDING APPLICATIONS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he filing dates of pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 86339320, 86299286 and 79133982 precede applicant’s filing date.(cid:160) See attached
`referenced applications.(cid:160) If one or more of the marks in the referenced applications register, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under
`Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered marks.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP
`§§1208 et seq.(cid:160) Therefore, upon receipt of applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final
`disposition of the earlier-filed referenced applications.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict
`between applicant’s mark and the marks in the referenced applications.(cid:160) Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way
`limits applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant responds to the refusal(s), applicant must also respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`NDEFINITE IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`ertain wording in the identification of services requires clarification because it is indefinite. Specifically, the examining attorney requires
`clarification of the following:
`
`(cid:160)W
`
`ith respect to the wording "theatrical performance both animated and live action", it is unclear what an "animated theatrical performance"
`would be, since the term "animated" typically refers to a series of drawings that are shown quickly one after another to produce the visual effect
`of movement. See, e.g., http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/animated. Therefore, applicant must provide clarification by specifying the
`common commercial or generic name for the services. If the services have no common commercial or generic name, applicant must describe the
`nature of the services.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording "Internet services providing information via an electronic global computer network" is ambiguous, as it suggests the
`possibility of services in the nature of telecommunications in Class 38 as well as services in the nature of providing information in the field of
`entertainment in Class 41. Therefore, applicant must amend the wording in the identification to unambiguously describe the nature of these
`services (e.g., "providing entertainment information via a website" in Class 41).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he meaning intended by the wording "providing news about current events and entertainment, and information related to education and
`cultural events, via a global computer network" is ambiguous. For example, it is unclear whether "education and cultural events" is the subject
`matter of the "news about current events" and "entertainment", or that providing information related to education and cultural events is a service
`distinct from the provision of news about current events and entertainment.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording "providing information for and actual entertainment via an electronic global communications network in the nature of
`live-action, comedy, drama and animated programs and production of live-action, comedy, drama and animated motion picture films
`for distribution via a global computer network" is unclear. For example, as currently situated, the wording "providing information" neither
`readily nor logically coordinates with the rest of the wording in the description. The identification of services must be specific, definite, clear,
`accurate and concise. See In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 1 USPQ2d 1296 (TTAB 1986), rev'd on other grounds, 824
`F.2d 957, 3 USPQ2d 1450 (Fed. Cir. 1987); Procter & Gamble Co. v. Economics Laboratory, Inc., 175 USPQ 505 (TTAB 1972), modified
`without opinion, 498 F.2d 1406, 181 USPQ 722 (C.C.P.A. 1974); In re Cardinal Laboratories, Inc., 149 USPQ 709 (TTAB 1966); California
`Spray-Chemical Corp. v. Osmose Wood Preserving Co. of America, Inc., 102 USPQ 321 (Comm'r Pats. 1954); Ex parte A.C. Gilbert Co., 99
`USPQ 344 (Comm'r Pats. 1953). In addition, the type of "programs" must be specified (e.g., television, radio).
