`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 1/26/2016
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he Office has reassigned this application to the undersigned trademark examining attorney.
`
`INTRODUCTION – STATUS OF APPLICATION
`
`This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on December 10, 2015, where applicant:
`
`Provided arguments against the Section 2(d) Refusal
`Amended the description of the mark
`Provided a statement concerning the significance of the mark
`Amended the identification of goods and services in the mark
`Provided a certificate of foreign registration for each class in the application
`Provided a statement concerning applicant’s bona fide and effective industrial or commercial establishment in Kazakhstan
`
`he trademark examining attorney has thoroughly reviewed applicant’s response and has determined the following:
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`Applicant’s arguments are unpersuasive to overcome the Section 2(d) refusal, and the refusal is continued and maintained
`Applicant’s amendment to the mark description is acceptable and made of record, and the requirement is satisfied
`Applicant’s statement concerning the significance of the mark is acceptable and made of record, and the requirement is satisfied
`Applicant’s amendment to the identification of goods and services is acceptable in part. However, certain wording in the Class 9
`identification requires further clarification, and the requirement is continued and maintained
`Applicant’s certificates of foreign registration are acceptable and made of record. However, applicant has not provided a translation of the
`registration certificates, and this creates a new issue to which applicant must respond
`Applicant’s statement concerning applicant’s bona fide and effective industrial or commercial establishment in Kazakhstan is acceptable
`and made of record, and the advisory concerning the country of origin is obviated
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he trademark examining attorney continues and maintains the Section 2(d) refusal and the identification of goods requirement, and now raises
`the following new issue in the summary of issues below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.64(a); TMEP §714.04. The trademark examining attorney’s
`arguments and evidence from the initial Office action are incorporated by reference.
`
`(cid:160) S
`
`UMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
`
`Translation of Foreign Registration Requirement
`Identification of Goods Requirement – Specified Goods Only
`Advisory – Preliminary Response to Applicant’s Arguments against the Section 2(d) Refusal
`
`RANSLATION OF FOREIGN REGISTRATION REQUIREMENT

`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`
`
`The applicant must submit an English translation of the foreign registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b).(cid:160) The translation
`should be signed by the translator.(cid:160) TMEP §1004.01(b).
`
`(cid:160) I
`
`DENTIFICATION OF GOODS – SPECIFIED CLASS 9 GOODS ONLY
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he wording “Computer programs for the direct and indirect provision of financial services, as well as risk modeling and assessment” in the
`Class 9 identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because the function of the software is vague.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01. This
`wording provides a field, but not a function for the software. An identification for computer software must specify the purpose or function of the
`software.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.03(d).(cid:160) If the software is field-specific, the identification must also specify the field of use.(cid:160) Id.(cid:160) Clarification of the
`purpose, function, or field of use of the software is necessary for the USPTO to properly examine the application and make appropriate decisions
`concerning possible conflicts between the applicant’s mark and other marks. (cid:160) See In re N.A.D. Inc., 57 USPQ2d 1872, 1874 (TTAB 2000).
`Applicant’s wording only indicates that the software is used in the provision of financial services, but it does not identify what the software does.
`Accordingly, this wording is indefinite and must be clarified.
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`pplicant may change this wording to “Computer programs for analyzing financial data as part of the direct and indirect provision of financial
`services, and for modeling and assessing financial risk” in Class 9, if accurate. (cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.
`
`(cid:160) T
`
`he remainder of the amended identification is acceptable and made of record.
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`§2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`n applicant may only amend an identification to clarify or limit the goods, but not to add to or broaden the scope of the goods.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`
`For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
`Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html. (cid:160) See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`(cid:160) P
`
`RELIMINARY RESPONSE TO APPLICANT’S ARGUMENTS
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`pplicant had argued against the Section 2(d) refusals concerning Classes 9 and 35. Applicant’s arguments are unpersuasive for the reasons
`indicated below. The trademark examining attorney may provide a further response to these arguments in a Final Office Action, if necessary.
`
`(cid:160) F
`
`irst, applicant argues that the differences in spelling and appearance create different commercial impressions. This argument is unconvincing.
`Although there are differences in the spelling of the marks, the similarities of the marks outweigh the differences. When comparing marks, the
`test is not whether the marks can be distinguished in a side-by-side comparison, but rather whether the marks are sufficiently similar in terms of
`their overall commercial impression that confusion as to the source of the goods and services offered under the respective marks is likely to
`result.(cid:160) Midwestern Pet Foods, Inc. v. Societe des Produits Nestle S.A., 685 F.3d 1046, 1053, 103 USPQ2d 1435, 1440 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re
`Davia, 110 USPQ2d 1810, 1813 (TTAB 2014); TMEP §1207.01(b).(cid:160) The proper focus is on the recollection of the average purchaser, who
`retains a general rather than specific impression of trademarks.(cid:160) United Global Media Grp., Inc. v. Tseng, 112 USPQ2d 1039, 1049, (TTAB
`2014); L’Oreal S.A. v. Marcon , 102 USPQ2d 1434, 1438 (TTAB 2012); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`pplicant points out that applicant’s mark uses a “K” at the beginning of the mark, while registrants’ marks use a “C”. Also, applicant notes
`that its mark uses a “CH” at the end of “TECH,” while registrants’ marks use an “X” or a “K.” However, all of the marks will be pronounced
`nearly identically. The marks are essentially phonetic equivalents and thus sound similar.(cid:160) Similarity in sound alone may be sufficient to support
`a finding that the marks are confusingly similar.(cid:160) In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); see In re 1st USA Realty Prof’ls,
`Inc., 84 USPQ2d 1581, 1586 (TTAB 2007); TMEP §1207.01(b)(iv). Purchasers with a general recollection of the marks, or that hear the marks
`spoken aloud, are unlikely to remember or be aware of these minor differences in appearance. Thus, the similarities in sound outweigh the
`differences in appearance.
`
`(cid:160) F
`
`urther, the trademark examining attorney recognizes that applicant’s mark is stylized and features a design element. However, registrants’
`marks are in typed drawing format or standard character. A mark in typed or standard characters may be displayed in any lettering style; the
`rights reside in the wording or other literal element and not in any particular display or rendition.(cid:160) See In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1363,
`101 USPQ2d 1905, 1909 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1348, 94 USPQ2d 1257, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010); 37 C.F.R.
`§2.52(a); TMEP §1207.01(c)(iii).(cid:160) Thus, a mark presented in stylized characters and/or with a design element generally will not avoid likelihood
`of confusion with a mark in typed or standard characters because the marks could be presented in the same manner of display.(cid:160) See, e.g., In re
`Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d at 1363, 101 USPQ2d at 1909; Squirtco v. Tomy Corp., 697 F.2d 1038, 1041, 216 USPQ 937, 939 (Fed. Cir. 1983) (stating
`
`
`
`that “the argument concerning a difference in type style is not viable where one party asserts rights in no particular display”).
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`pplicant further argues that these differences in spelling create such an incongruity from the expected spelling of the wording in the marks that
`purchasers will recall and focus on the differences. However, these misspellings are minor and do not outweigh the overall impressions of the
`marks. The attached third-party registration show just some examples of the other marks that have used KREDIT for CREDIT (U.S. Registration
`Nos. 4369855 and 4168079), TEK for TECH (U.S. Registration Nos. 4881663, 4790067, 4571461, and 4450579), or TEX for TECHS (U.S.
`Registration Nos. 4046746, 4236716, and 4164456). Because purchases are accustomed to seeing these spelling differences, they are unlikely to
`apply so much thought and awareness to the minor misspellings to recognize them as the primary indicator of source in the marks. On the
`contrary, they are likely to consider the overall meaning of the marks—all of which suggest technology relating to credit. Thus, because of the
`highly similar meanings of the marks, purchasers are likely to be confused as to the source of the goods and services.
`
`(cid:160) A
`
`1001, 1004 (Fed. Cir. 2002).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`pplicant next argues that the goods and services differ significantly and are provided in different channels of trade. Applicant impermissibly
`reads limitations and restrictions into the scope of the registrations and application that are not present therein.(cid:160)When analyzing an applicant’s
`and registrant’s goods and services for similarity and relatedness, that determination is based on the description of the goods and services stated
`in the application and registrations at issue, not on extrinsic evidence of actual use.(cid:160) See Octocom Sys. Inc. v. Hous. Computers Servs. Inc., 918
`F.2d 937, 942, 16 USPQ2d 1783, 1787 (Fed. Cir. 1990); see also Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1267, 62 USPQ2d
`
`Concerning the first cited registration, CREDITEX for Class 9 goods, neither the application nor the registration limits the goods to particular
`channels of trade or classes of consumers.(cid:160)Applicant and registrant’s identifications both list software for providing financial services relating to
`financial risk, which encompasses credit risk. Applicant’s other identified functions broadly identify uses related to “financial information,”
`“financial reports,” and “financial records.” This broad wording encompasses the registrant’s specify areas relating to credit risk. Both
`identifications are broad enough to target similar consumers for their goods which would create a likelihood of confusion between the goods.
`
`(cid:160) L
`
`ikewise, the second cited registration, CREDITEK for Class 35 services, also identifies services that are encompassed in applicant’s broadly
`wording identification. Applicant does not specify a particular industry, channel of trade, or class of consumers. Again, both identifications are
`broad enough to target similar consumers for their goods which would create a likelihood of confusion between the goods.
`
`(cid:160) B
`
`ecause the descriptions of the goods and services in application and registrations overlap significantly, applicant’s arguments are insufficient to
`overcome the confusing similarity of the goods and services in registrants’ marks.
`
`(cid:160) R
`
`ESPONSE GUIDELINES
`
`(cid:160) F
`
`or this application to proceed toward 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) I
`
`f applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) All relevant e-
`mail communications will be placed in the official application record; however, an e-mail communication will not be accepted as a response to
`this Office action and will not extend the deadline for filing a proper response.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(c), 2.191; TMEP §§304.01-.02, 709.04-.05.(cid:160)
`Further, although the trademark examining attorney may provide additional explanation pertaining to the refusal and requirements in this Office
`action, the trademark examining attorney may not provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights. (cid:160) See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.
`
`TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
`REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE:(cid:160) Applicants who filed their application
`online using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to
`Office actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address;
`
`(cid:160)
`
`
`and (3) agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b),
`2.23(b); TMEP §§819, 820.(cid:160) TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of
`$50 per international class of goods and/or services.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04.(cid:160) However, in certain
`situations, TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone without
`
`incurring this additional fee.(cid:160)(cid:160)
