`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: 3/22/2015
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under
`Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02.(cid:160)(cid:160) Nevertheless, the applicant must respond to the following issue(s).(cid:160)
`COLOR DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK
`
`Applicant must provide a complete mark description because the mark description in the application does not include all elements and/or colors
`shown in the mark.(cid:160) A complete mark description for a mark depicted in color must identify all the literal and design elements in the mark and
`specify where the colors appear in those elements.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.37, 2.52(b)(1); TMEP §807.07(a)-(a)(ii).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f black, white, and/or gray are not being claimed as a color feature of the mark, applicant must exclude them from the color claim and include in
`the mark description a statement that the colors black, white, and/or gray represent background, outlining, shading, and/or transparent areas and
`are not part of the mark.(cid:160) See TMEP §807.07(d).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following mark description is suggested, if accurate:
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`The mark consists of the following:(cid:160)
`the wording SLIDER CITY in maroon stylized lettering. The letter "i" in the word SLIDER is
`depicted by a tower, and the letter "i" in the word CITY is depicted by a skyscraper building, both in maroon. The wording SLIDER
`CITY is underlined in maroon with a line that extends from the tail of the letter Y in slider. The phrase GOURMET MINI-
`BURGERS is maroon and located underneath the wording SLIDER CITY.
`
`DISCLAIMER
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant must disclaim the wording “ SLIDER” and “GOURMET MINI BURGERS” because it merely describes an ingredient, quality,
`characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of applicant’s services, and thus is an unregistrable component of the mark.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C.
`§§1052(e)(1), 1056(a); DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012)
`(quoting In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).(cid:160) The
`wording is descriptive as it names menu items at the applicant’s restaurant, namely, small hamburgers which are considered to be fine food.(cid:160) See
`the attached entry from the American Heritage Dictionary of the English Language showing meaning and usage of the wording.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`“disclaimer” is a statement in the application record that an applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of the
`mark; a disclaimer of unregistrable matter does not affect the appearance of the mark or physically remove disclaimed matter from the mark.(cid:160) See
`Schwarzkopf v. John H. Breck, Inc., 340 F.2d 978, 978, 144 USPQ 433, 433 (C.C.P.A. 1965); TMEP §1213.(cid:160) An unregistrable component of a
`mark includes wording that is merely descriptive of an applicant’s goods and/or services. 15 U.S.C. §1052(e); see TMEP §§1209.03(f), 1213.03
`et seq.(cid:160) Such words or designs need to be freely available for other businesses to market comparable goods or services and should not become
`the proprietary domain of any one party.(cid:160) See Dena Corp. v. Belvedere Int’l, Inc., 950 F.2d 1555, 1560, 21 USPQ2d 1047, 1051 (Fed. Cir. 1991);
`In re Aug. Storck KG, 218 USPQ 823, 825 (TTAB 1983).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant should submit a disclaimer in the following standardized format:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SLIDER” and “GOURMET MINI BURGERS” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to satisfy this disclaimer requirement online using the Trademark Electronic Application
`System (TEAS) form, please go to http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/law/disclaimer.jsp.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant does not provide the required disclaimer, the USPTO may refuse to register the entire mark.(cid:160) See In re Stereotaxis Inc., 429 F.3d
`1039, 1040-41, 77 USPQ2d 1087, 1088-89 (Fed. Cir. 2005); TMEP §1213.01(b).

`
`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:(cid:160) Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.(cid:160) These companies often use names that
`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.(cid:160) Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.” (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.(cid:160) All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” (cid:160) For more information on how to handle
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
