`Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).   A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this
`
`NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
`
`Office action.   
`
`Issue date:  December 17, 2019
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issues 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)(2) Refusal – Primarily Geographically Descriptive
`Advisory: Supplemental Register
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`SECTION 2(e)(2) REFUSAL – PRIMARILY GEOGRAPHICALLY DESCRIPTIVE
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark is primarily geographically descriptive of the origin of applicant’s goods.   Trademark Act
`Section 2(e)(2), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(2); see TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(a).
`
`Applicant’s applied-for mark is “CHI DYE SHOTS” for “Non-alcoholic cocktail bases; Non-alcoholic cocktail mixes” in International Class
`32.
`
`  A
`
` mark is primarily geographically descriptive when the following is demonstrated:
`
`(1) The primary significance of the mark is a generally known geographic place or location;
`
`(2) The goods for which applicant seeks registration originate in the geographic place identified in the mark; and
`
`(3) Purchasers would be likely to make a goods-place association; that is, purchasers would be likely to believe that the goods originate in
`the geographic place identified in the mark.
`
`TMEP §1210.01(a); see In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 824 F.2d 957, 959, 3 USPQ2d 1450, 1452 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In
`re Hollywood Lawyers Online, 110 USPQ2d 1852, 1853 (TTAB 2014).
`
`If the most prominent meaning or significance of a mark is geographic for the goods in the application, the fact that the mark may have other
`meanings in other contexts does not alter its geographic significance in the context of the application.  See In re Opryland USA Inc., 1 USPQ2d
`1409, 1412-13 (TTAB 1986) (holding the mark THE NASHVILLE NETWORK primarily geographically descriptive of television program
`production and distribution services when finding that the primary significance of the term referred to Nashville, Tennessee and not that of a style
`of music); In re Cookie Kitchen, Inc., 228 USPQ 873, 874 (TTAB 1986) (noting that where MANHATTAN refers to a type of cocktail and to a
`geographic location that having an alternative meaning does not alter the mark’s primary geographic significance in the context of the goods in
`the application); In re Jack’s Hi-Grade Foods, Inc. , 226 USPQ 1028, 1029 (TTAB 1985) (noting that where NEAPOLITAN refers to a type of
`ice cream and also means “pertaining to Naples, Italy” that having an alternative meaning does not alter the mark’s primary geographic
`significance in the context of the goods in the application); TMEP §1210.02(b)(i).  Here, the evidence of record from BARRY POPNIK and
`URBAN DICTIONARY shows that the most prominent meaning of the wording “CHI” is a shorthand for the city of Chicago, Illinois, which
`directly borders applicant’s location of Oak Lawn, Illinois, per the evidence from WIKIPEDIA.
`
`The addition of generic or highly descriptive wording to a geographic word or term does not diminish that geographic word or term’s primary
`geographic significance.  TMEP §1210.02(c)(ii); see, e.g., In re Hollywood Lawyers Online, 110 USPQ2d 1852, 1853-54 (TTAB 2014) (holding
`HOLLYWOOD LAWYERS ONLINE primarily geographically descriptive of attorney referrals, online business information, and an online
`business directory); In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1920 (TTAB 2008) (holding NORMANDIE CAMEMBERT primarily
`geographically descriptive of cheese).  Here, the evidence of record from JEVO and EHOW shows that applicant’s identified cocktail mix goods
`can be used in connection with food coloring “DYE” to make drinks, while the evidence from THE SPRUC EATS establishes that cocktail
`mixes are meant for preparing “SHOTS”.   Accordingly, the wording “DYE SHOTS” is merely descriptive of applicant’s cocktail mix goods.
`
`Goods are considered to originate from a geographic location when the record shows that the goods are sold there, manufactured or produced
`there, packaged and shipped from there, and/or contain a main ingredient or component derived from there.  See In re Jacques Bernier Inc., 894
`F.2d 389, 391-92, 13 USPQ2d 1725, 1727 (Fed. Cir. 1990), opposition sustained sub nom. Fred Hayman Beverly Hills, Inc. v. Jacques Bernier
`Inc., 38 USPQ2d 1691 (TTAB 1996) (holding applicant’s perfume did not originate from RODEO DRIVE because, although goods did not have
`to be manufactured or produced at the geographic site and could “be sold there” to originate from the geographic location, there was insufficient
`evidence to show that perfume was sold on RODEO DRIVE); In re Joint-Stock Co. “Baik,” 80 USPQ2d 1305, 1310 (TTAB 2006) (holding
`applicant’s vodka originated from BAIKALSKAYA, a Russian word meaning “from Baikal,” because it was made from the water of Lake
`Baikal and applicant produced various vodkas from a location near Lake Baikal); In re JT Tobacconists, 59 USPQ2d 1080, 1083 (TTAB 2001)
`(holding applicant’s cigars, cigar cases, and humidors originated from MINNESOTA because they were packaged and shipped from
`MINNESOTA, and applicant’s business was located in MINNESOTA); In re Nantucket Allserve Inc., 28 USPQ2d 1144, 1145-46 (TTAB 1993)
`(holding applicant’s beverages originated from NANTUCKET because labels for applicant’s goods suggested a connection with
`NANTUCKET, additional evidence suggested that some ingredients came from NANTUCKET and that applicant’s goods were sold at
`applicant’s store located in NANTUCKET, and applicant’s corporate headquarters and research and development center were located in
`NANTUCKET); TMEP §1210.03.  Here, the evidence from WIKIPEDIA shows that applicant’s location in Oak Lawn, Illinois, is directly
`adjacent to Chicago, or the “CHI”, and is considered part of the Chicago metropolitan area.   Accordingly, applicant’s goods originate from
`“CHI”.
`
`When there is no genuine issue that the geographical significance of a term is its primary significance, and the geographical place is neither
`obscure nor remote, a public association of the goods with the place is presumed if an applicant’s goods originate in the place named in the
`mark.  TMEP §1210.04; see, e.g., In re Cal. Pizza Kitchen Inc., 10 USPQ2d 1704, 1706 (TTAB 1988) (holding CALIFORNIA PIZZA
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`KITCHEN primarily geographically descriptive of restaurant services rendered in California); In re Handler Fenton Ws., Inc., 214 USPQ 848,
`849-50 (TTAB 1982) (holding DENVER WESTERNS primarily geographically descriptive of western-style shirts originating in Denver).  Here,
`the evidence from CHICAGO.GOV shows that Chicago is the nation’s third-largest city, and accordingly, is neither obscure nor remote.  
`Furthermore, the evidence from URBAN DICTIONARY shows that the primary significance of “CHI” is to refer to the city of Chicago.  
`Additionally, the evidence of applicant’s own address shows that applicant’s goods originate in the town of Oak Lawn, which is directly
`adjacent to Chicago and part of the Chicago metropolitan.  Therefore, a goods-place association can be presumed.
`
`Based on the evidence and analysis above, applicant’s applied-for mark is primarily geographically descriptive of applicant’s goods and must be
`refused registration under Section 2(e)(2) of the Lanham Act.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.
`
`ADVISORY: SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER
`
`Although an amendment to the Supplemental Register would normally be an appropriate response to this refusal, 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)       
`
`(2)       
`
`(3)       
`
`(4)       
`
`Use of the registration symbol ® with the registered mark in connection with the designated goods, which provides public notice
`of the registration and potentially deters third parties from using confusingly similar marks.
`
`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.
`
`Use of the registration by a USPTO trademark examining attorney as a bar to registering confusingly similar marks in
`applications filed by third parties.
`
`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).
`
`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 “SHOTS” because such wording appears to be generic in the context of applicant’s goods.
`  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).
`
`Applicant may submit a disclaimer in the following format:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SHOTS” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`TMEP §1213.08(a)(i).
