`

`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`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: 1/9/2017
`
`THIS IS A FINAL ACTION.
`
`This letter responds to applicant’s communication filed on November 23, 2016, in which applicant argued against the previously issued
`Disclaimer Requirement.(cid:160) Please note, the examining attorney has carefully considered applicant’s arguments and finds them unpersuasive to
`overcome the requirement.(cid:160) Therefore, the Disclaimer Requirement is hereby made FINAL.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`isclaimer Requirement – FINAL ACTION
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`it must disclaim the wording “NON-
`that
`the examining attorney advised applicant
`n the initial office action dated May 24, 2016,
`PHARMACEUTICAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DEVICE” because it merely describes the nature, feature and function of applicant’s goods,
`and thus is an unregistrable component of the mark.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §§1052(e)(1), 1056(a); In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75
`USPQ2d 1420, 1421 (Fed. Cir. 2005); In re Gyulay, 820 F.2d 1216, 1217-18, 3 USPQ2d 1009, 1010 (Fed. Cir. 1987); TMEP §§1213,
`
`1213.03(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`Specifically, the applicant’s mark is “ NPAID NON-PHARMACEUTICAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DEVICE” for “High frequency
`electromagnetic therapy apparatus.” (cid:160) The previously attached evidence shows the term “non” refers to “not” and “pharmaceutical” means “of
`or relating to pharmacy or pharmacists; a pharmaceutical product or preparation.” As such, the term “non-pharmaceutical” refers to something
`not of a pharmaceutical nature. Furthermore, the term “anti-inflammatory” refers to “preventing or reducing inflammation.” (cid:160) The term
`“device” means “an object designed and manufactured to perform one or more functions.” (cid:160) Please see definitions attached in initial Office
`action.(cid:160) Therefore, the wording merely describes the nature, feature and function of applicant’s goods. (cid:160) That is, applicant provides non-
`pharmaceutical devices that reduce/prevent inflammation.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n its response applicant agrees to the disclaimer of “ANTI-INFLAMATORY”. (cid:160) However, applicant argues “that it takes an extraordinary effort
`of imagination for NON-PHARMACEUTICAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DEVICE to be understood as used on goods encompassed by the
`application.(cid:160) The mark in its entirety does not immediately call to mind such goods, and it is no more than suggestive of the goods in the present
`specification, rather than merely descriptive.” (cid:160) Applicant further argues that “[r]egarding the term NON-PHARMACEUTICAL in particular,
`Applicant respectfully submits that it was uniquely adopted for use in conjunction with mark’s other elements on or in connection with the listed
`goods, and that there are no other third party marks on the USPTO record that include the “NON-PHARMACEUTICAL” wording. (cid:160) This is
`additional probative evidence establishing that it is not merely descriptive, but, at the utmost, suggestive.”
`
`(cid:160)H
`
`owever, a mark is suggestive if some imagination, thought, or perception is needed to understand the nature of the goods and/or services
`described in the mark; whereas a descriptive term immediately and directly conveys some information about the goods and/or services.(cid:160) See
`Stoncor Grp., Inc. v. Specialty Coatings, Inc., 759 F.3d 1327, 1332, 111 USPQ2d 1649, 1652 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (citing DuoProSS Meditech Corp.
`v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251-52, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012)); TMEP §1209.01(a).(cid:160) Here, there is no
`imagination needed to understand that applicant provides non-pharmaceutical devices that reduce/prevent inflammation.
`
`(cid:160)P
`
`lease see evidence which includes websites from the following:
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`DC which states:(cid:160) Nonpharmaceutical Interventions (NPIs)(cid:160) are actions, apart from getting vaccinated and taking medicine, that people and
`communities can take to help slow the spread of illnesses like pandemic influenza (flu). NPIs are also known as community mitigation strategies.
`When a new flu virus spreads among people, causing illness worldwide, it is called pandemic flu. Because a pandemic flu virus is new, the
`human population has little or no immunity against it. This allows the virus to spread quickly from person to person worldwide. NPIs are among
`the best ways of controlling pandemic flu when vaccines are not yet available.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`rugs.com which states:(cid:160) Non-pharmacological therapies are ways to decrease pain in addition to medicine. Each person may respond to these
`therapies differently.
`
`(cid:160)N
`
`CBI and Public Health Emergency – which both use the term “non-pharmaceutical … devices” descriptively for apparatus/devices that do not
`require administering of medicine/pharmaceuticals.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`rticle discussing applicant’s products that states the following:
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`hrough its targeted Pulsed Electromagnetic Field Device, the ASSISI LOOP has been embraced by the veterinary community as an adjunct or
`alternative therapy to treat a range of conditions in dogs, cats and horses. The Loop, whose technology is FDA-cleared, is a NPAID (Non-
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`Pharmaceutical Anti-Inflammatory Device) prescribed by veterinary professionals to treat orthopedic injuries, degenerative neurological
`conditions, post-surgical pain and swelling, osteoarthritis and other inflammatory conditions and wounds.
`
`(cid:160)"
`
`We understand that compliance and convenience can impact the right treatment for a pet. That is why we are excited to
`help make the healing process easier with the launch of our new LOOP-AID accessory line," said John Wilkerson, PhD,
`Chief Executive Officer of Assisi Animal Health. "The ASSISI-HERO Torso Wrap is the first product in the line and helps to
`
`make the treatment process easier for all parties involved."(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The Torso Wrap is a lightweight, durable garment that the LOOP attaches to during treatment.(cid:160) The Wrap is designed to stay on the pet for the
`duration of their daily treatments and has adjustable Velcro attachments for securing the LOOP in different areas of need. This makes the
`treatment more convenient for the pet owner and allows more mobility for the pet.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he Wrap comes in seven sizes, ranging from XXS-XL, and has a size specifically for long-low breeds that frequently suffer from severe back
`
`issues.(cid:160) Made of 87 percent nylon and 13 percent spandex, the Torso Wrap is washable and dries quickly on a flat surface.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, the disclaimer requirement is hereby made final.
`
`(cid:160)P
`
`lease note, the Office can require an applicant to disclaim an unregistrable part of a mark consisting of particular wording, symbols, numbers,
`design elements or combinations thereof.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1056(a).(cid:160) Under Section 2(e) of the Trademark Act, the Office can refuse registration of an
`entire mark if the entire mark is generic, merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, or primarily geographically descriptive of the services.(cid:160)
`15 U.S.C. §1052(e).(cid:160) Thus, the Office may require an applicant to disclaim a portion of a mark that, when used in connection with the services, is
`merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, primarily geographically descriptive, or otherwise unregistrable (e.g., generic).(cid:160) TMEP
`§1213.03(a).(cid:160) Therefore, applicant must disclaim “BLOG” because such wording appears to be descriptive as a feature of applicant’s services.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`ailure to comply with a disclaimer requirement can result in a refusal to register the entire mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`“disclaimer” is a statement that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of a mark.(cid:160) A disclaimer does not
`affect the appearance of the applied-for mark.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer.(cid:160) TMEP
`§1213.08(a)(i).(cid:160) The following is the standard format used by the Office:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “ NON-PHARMACEUTICAL ANTI-INFLAMMATORY DEVICE” apart from the
`mark as shown.

`Hi, l was inst going through the reviews and thought l could ask feedback about a new rionphannaceutical,
`pain relieving device providing long term effectiveness without harmful side effects
`l’m doing preliminary research on pain relieving devices and treatment with the iment to gelfeedback on
`experiences as well as, share information about a new product in deveiopment to determine if potential users
`would be interested in the comfort and freedom this new product will bring.
`The product is like a next generation brace, with the ability to deliver naturai ingredients that are scientifically
`demonstrated to relieve pain, and administer two other key functions that are individually clinically proveri to
`provide longer lasting relief, This device puts the three powerhouses together in one system to create the
`ultimate solution to both chronic and acute pain,
