`

`(cid:160)S
`
`ECTION 2(d) REFUSAL
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`HIS PARTIAL REFUSAL APPLIES TO CLASS 25 ONLY
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 3274365.(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
`
`rademark 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 and/or services of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(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)T
`
`he applicant seeks registration of THE FLATLINE NOVELTY for, in relevant part, “Adult novelty gag clothing item, namely, socks; Belts;
`Head wraps; Hoods; Jackets; Jerseys; Tops; Tops for Clothing for men, women and children, namely, t-shirts, tank tops, sweat shirts, sweaters,
`jackets, hats, visors, head bands, scarves, shorts, socks and casual footwear; Women's clothing, namely, shirts, dresses, skirts, blouses;
`Wristbands” in Class 25.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he registered mark is FLATLINE for “Clothing, namely t-shirts, tank tops, halter tops, sweatshirts, belts, jackets, shorts, pants, beanies, caps,
`hats, bandanas, gloves and socks” in Class 25.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`OMPARISON OF MARKS(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial impression.(cid:160) Stone Lion Capital
`Partners, LP v. Lion Capital LLP, 746 F.3d 1317, 1321, 110 USPQ2d 1157, 1160 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (quoting Palm Bay Imps., Inc. v. Veuve
`Clicquot Ponsardin Maison Fondee En 1772, 396 F. 3d 1369, 1371, 73 USPQ2d 1689, 1691 (Fed. Cir. 2005)); TMEP §1207.01(b)-(b)(v).(cid:160)
`“Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find the marks confusingly similar.” (cid:160) In re Davia, 110 USPQ2d 1810, 1812 (TTAB
`2014) (citing In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); In re 1st USA Realty Prof’ls, Inc. , 84 USPQ2d 1581, 1586 (TTAB
`2007)); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applied-for mark is similar to the registered mark in commercial impression and appearance because of the shared wording “FLATLINE.” (cid:160)
`Marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where similar terms or phrases or similar parts of terms or phrases appear in the compared
`marks and create a similar overall commercial impression.(cid:160) See Crocker Nat’l Bank v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce , 228 USPQ 689,
`690-91 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490, 1495, 1
`USPQ2d 1813, 1817 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (finding COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH confusingly similar); In re Corning Glass Works, 229
`USPQ 65, 66 (TTAB 1985) (finding CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS confusingly similar); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558, 560
`(TTAB 1983) (finding MILTRON and MILLTRONICS confusingly similar); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough the applicant’s mark also contains the wording “NOVELTY,” the “FLATLINE” portion is dominant because 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)C
`
`OMPARISON OF GOODS(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The goods 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 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] 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)T
`
`he applicant’s goods are related to those of the registrant because they are common types of clothing that are made by the same companies and
`sold through the same trade channels.(cid:160) The attached Internet evidence consists of website screenshots showing various apparel companies that
`make the types of clothing identified by the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) This evidence establishes that the same entity commonly manufactures the
`relevant goods and markets the goods under the same mark.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant’s and registrant’s goods 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) Please see the attached third-party website evidence.
`
`(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)S
`
`ince the marks are similar and the goods are related, there is a likelihood of confusion as to the source of applicant’s goods. (cid:160) Therefore,
`registration is refused under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.
`
`Prior-filed Pending Application
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial No. 86535082 precedes applicant’s filing date.(cid:160) See attached referenced application.(cid:160) If the
`mark in the referenced application registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a
`likelihood of confusion between the two 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
`application.
`
`(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 mark in the referenced application.(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)A
`
`lthough applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in
`support of registration.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant responds to the refusal(s), applicant must also respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.
`
`PROCEDURAL REQUIREMENTS
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`isclaimer Requirement
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant must disclaim the wording “ NOVELTY” because it merely describes a characteristic or feature of applicant’s goods and 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)(cid:160)
`
`The term “NOVELTY” is defined as “A small mass-produced article.” (cid:160) See the attached definition from The American Heritage® Dictionary of
`the English Language, Fifth Edition.(cid:160) The applicant’s Class 25 goods are identified as “Adult novelty gag clothing item, namely, socks; Belts;
`Head wraps; Hoods; Jackets; Jerseys; Tops; Tops for Clothing for men, women and children, namely t-shirts, tank tops, sweat shirts, sweaters,
`jackets, hats, visors, head bands, scarves, shorts, socks and casual footwear; Women's clothing, namely, shirts, dresses, skirts, blouses;
`Wristbands.” (cid:160) Use of the term “NOVELTY” to describe mass-produced clothing is well-established in the apparel industry.(cid:160) Please see the
`attached third-party website evidence.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n the context of music, the term “NOVELTY” is also defined as “something (as a song or food item) that provides often fleeting amusement
`and is often based on a theme —often used attributively.” (cid:160) See the attached definition from Merriam-Webster's Online Dictionary, 11th Edition.(cid:160)
`The attached website screenshots show use of the word “NOVELTY” to describe a genre of music characterized by songs that “fall outside the
`boundaries of standard pop music primarily because they are created to provoke humor or commentary.” (cid:160) Please see the attached from the
`following websites:
`http://top40.about.com/od/top10lists/tp/noveltysongs.htm
`https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Novelty_song
`http://www.britannica.com/art/novelty-song
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`hus, the term “NOVELTY” must be disclaimed also because it describes the genre of music that is recorded and performed by the applicant. (cid:160)
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`(cid:160)A
`
`n applicant may not claim exclusive rights to terms that others may need to use to describe their goods and/or services in the marketplace.(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 disclaimer of unregistrable matter does not affect the appearance of the mark; that is, a disclaimer does not physically remove
`the 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)(cid:160)
`
`If 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).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant should submit the following standardized format for a disclaimer:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “NOVELTY” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493, 494 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
