`
`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. A RESPONSE
`TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE TRADEMARK ELECTRONIC APPLICATION SYSTEM (TEAS) MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE
`MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME OF THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPONSE PERIOD.
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 11/1/2018
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
`
`The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that
`would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
`
`Section 2(e)(1) Refusal - Merely Descriptive
`Supplemental Register
`Identification of Services
`
`SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL - MERELY DESCRIPTIVE
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes the function of applicant’s goods. Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15
`U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); see TMEP §§1209.01(b), 1209.03 et seq.
`
`Applicant has applied for the mark TOKEN AI in standard characters for “Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring cryptocurrency
`market and portfolio analysis; Platform as a service (PAAS)featuring cryptocurrency market and portfolio analysis; Platform as a service (PAAS)
`featuring computer software for data mining and data analytics; computer software for creating and controlling artificial intelligence; Providing
`artificial intelligence based data analysis, pattern discovery, process automation, contextual prediction, predictive analytics, predictive modelling,
`recognition, segmentation, regression, decision support and visualization services” in International Class 42.
`
` A
`
` mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of an applicant’s goods and/or
`services. TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re TriVita, Inc., 783 F.3d 872, 874, 114 USPQ2d 1574, 1575 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (quoting In re Oppedahl
`& Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420,
`
`1421 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing Estate of P.D. Beckwith, Inc. v. Comm’r of Patents , 252 U.S. 538, 543 (1920)).
`
`In this case, the term “TOKEN AI” describes a feature of applicant’s services. As shown in the attached evidence, linked below, in the context
`of applicant’s services “TOKEN” refers to “a unit of cryptocurrency.” The attached evidence, linked below, also shows that the term “AI” is
`short for “artificial intelligence” and means “intelligent machines that work and react like humans”.
` Taken together, the mark “TOKEN AI”
`means “artificial intelligence related to units of cryptocurrency,” or, in other words, “intelligent machines that work and react like humans to
`issues related to units of cryptocurrency.”

`
`In this case, applicant’s identification of services shows that applicant provides services related to cryptocurrencies and services using artificial
`intelligence. Thus, applicant’s identification of services shows that applicant’s services likely include using artificial intelligence in connection
`with cryptocurrencies. In other words, applicant is using “artificial intelligence related to units of cryptocurrency,” or “TOKEN AI”. Moreover,
`applicant’s website, attached and linked below, confirms that applicant is providing consumers with artificial intelligence software to manage
`cryptocurrency tokens. Therefore, the mark “TOKEN AI” merely describes a characteristic of applicant’s services and is refused.

`
`SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER
`
`Although an amendment to the Supplemental Register would normally be an appropriate response to the Section 2(e)(1) refusal above, such a
`response is not appropriate in the present case. The instant application was filed under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and is not eligible for
`registration on the Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use meeting the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been
`timely filed. 37 C.F.R. §2.47(d); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`If applicant files an acceptable allegation of use and also amends to the Supplemental Register, the application effective filing date will be the
`date applicant met the minimum filing requirements under 37 C.F.R. §2.76(c) for an amendment to allege use. TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03; see 37
`C.F.R. §2.75(b). In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the USPTO records for conflicting
`marks based on the later application filing date. TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
`
`Although registration on the Supplemental Register does not afford all the benefits of registration on the Principal Register, it does provide the
`following advantages to the registrant:
`
`(1)
`
`Use of the registration symbol ® with the registered mark in connection with the designated goods and/or services, which provides
`public notice of the registration and potentially deters third parties from using confusingly similar marks.
`
`(2)
`
`Inclusion of the registered mark in the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks, which will (a) make it easier for third
`parties to find it in trademark search reports, (b) provide public notice of the registration, and thus (c) potentially deter third
`parties from using confusingly similar marks.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`(3)
`
`Use of the registration by a USPTO trademark examining attorney as a bar to registering confusingly similar marks in applications
`filed by third parties.
`
`(4)
`
`Use of the registration as a basis to bring suit for trademark infringement in federal court, which, although more costly than state
`court, means judges with more trademark experience, often faster adjudications, and the opportunity to seek an injunction, actual
`damages, and attorneys’ fees and costs.
`
`(5)
`
`Use of the registration as a filing basis for a trademark application for registration in certain foreign countries, in accordance with
`international treaties.
`
`See 15 U.S.C. §§1052(d), 1091, 1094; J. Thomas McCarthy, McCarthy on Trademarks & Unfair Competition §§19:33, 19:37 (rev. 4th ed. Supp.
`2017).
`
`ADVISORY – WORDING APPEARS TO BE GENERIC
`
`Applicant is advised that, if an acceptable allegation of use and an amendment to the Supplemental Register are filed, applicant will be required
`to disclaim “AI” because such wording appears to be generic in the context of applicant’s goods and/or services.
` See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); In re
`Wella Corp., 565 F.2d 143, 144, 196 USPQ 7, 8 (C.C.P.A. 1977); In re Creative Goldsmiths of Wash., Inc., 229 USPQ 766, 768 (TTAB 1986);
`TMEP §1213.03(b).
`
`The following is the standardized format for a disclaimer:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “AI” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`TMEP §1213.08(a)(i).
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration. However, if applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirement set forth below.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES
`
`The wording noted below in the identification of services is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not specify the nature of applicant’s
`
`services or the common name for applicant’s services. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.
`
`The trademark examining attorney has previously discussed the suggestions below with applicant’s attorney. Based on those conversations,
`applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate (additions in bold):
`
`International Class 42: Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for cryptocurrency market and portfolio analysis;
`Platform as a service (PAAS) featuring computer software platforms for cryptocurrency market and portfolio analysis; Platform as a
`service (PAAS) featuring computer software for data mining and data analytics; computer software for creating and controlling artificial
`intelligence; Software as a service (SAAS) services featuring software for artificial intelligence based data analysis, pattern discovery,
`process automation, contextual prediction, predictive analytics, predictive modelling, recognition of data and market patterns resulting
`from asset metrics and features, segmentation of asset data, market data, external data sources, social media and other data
`sources, regression in the nature of analysis regression and asset performance and metrics regression, decision support in the
`nature of consumer and professional asset trading and visualization services in the nature of visualizing analysis results and
`recommendations.
`
`Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services
`beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Generally, any deleted goods
`and/or services may not later be reinserted. See TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`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. See TMEP §1402.04.

`Al - artificial intelligence
`0060
`
`By Vangie Beat
`
`Artificial intelligence is the branch of computer science concerned
`with making computers behave like humans. The term was coined in
`1956 by John McCarthy at the Massachusetts Institute ot
`Technology.
`
`Can Computers Exhibit Fuii Al?
`Currently, no computers exhibit full artificial intelligence (that is, are
`able to simulate human behavior). The greatest advances have
`

`
`Unfortunately, programming computers to understand natural languaga has proved to be more difiicultthan
`originally thought. Some rudimentary translation systems that translate from one human language to another are in
`existence, but they are not neaity as good as human translators. There are also voice recognition systems that can
`convert spoken sounds into written words‘ but they do not understandwhat they are writing; they simply take
`dictation. Even these systems are quite limited — you must speak slowly and distinctly.
`
`Systems Fail Short of Early Expectations
`In the early 19305, expert systems were believed to represent the future of artificial intelligence and ofcomputers
`
`in general. To date, however, they have not lived up to expectations. Many expert systems hetp human experts in
`such fields as medicine and engineering, but they are very expensive to produce and are helptui only in special
`situations.

`Artificial Intelligence — Al
`
`What is 'Artificial Intelligence - Al'
`Artificial intelligence (Al) is a term for simulated intelligence in machines. These machines are
`programmed to "think" like a human and mimic the way a person acts. The ideal characteristic of
`artificial intelligence is its ability to rationalize and take actions that have the best chance of
`achieving a specific goal, although the term can be applied to any machine that exhibits traits
`associated with a human mind, such as learning and solving problems.

`
`BREAKING DOWN ‘Artificial Intelligence - Al'
`Artificial intelligence is based around the idea that human intelligence can be defined in such exact
`terms that a machine can mimic it. The goals of artificial intelligence include learning, reasoning and
`perception, and machines are wired using a cross—disciplinary approach based in mathematics,
`computer science, linguistics, psychology and more.
`
`As technology advances, previous benchmarks that defined artificial intelligence become outdated.
`For example, machines that calculate basic functions or recognize text through methods such as
`optimal character recognition are no longer said to have artificial intelligence, since this function is
`now taken for granted as an inherent computer function.
`
`Some examples of machines with artificial intelligence include computers that play chess, which
`have been around for years, and self—driving cars, which are a relatively new development. Each of
`these machines must weigh the consequences ofany action they take, as each action will impact the
`end result. In chess, this end result is winning the game. For selfrdriving cars, the computer system
`must take into account all external data and compute it to act in a way that prevents collision
`
`Controversy Over Artificial Intelligence
`Since its beginning, artificial intelligence has come under scrutiny from scientists and the public
`alike. One common theme is the idea that machines will become so highly developed that humans
`will not be able to keep up, and they will take off on their own, redesigning themselves at an
`exponential rate. Another is that machines can hack into people's privacyand even be
`weaponized. Other arguments debate the ethics of artificial intelligence, and whether or not
`intelligent systems such as robots should be treated with the same rights as humans.
`
`Selfedriving cars have been the subject of controversy, as their machines tend to be designed for the
`lowest possible risk and the least casualties. While they remove the incidence of human error, this
`means that if they were put in a situation in which they had to decide between a collision with one
`person and a collision with another, they would calculate which option would cause the least
`amount of damage, but would still have to choose one. This is disconcerting to many people who
`believe that lives should not be put at the mercy ofa machine.
