`•

`
`
`
`Registration Refused - Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion
`
`
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in
`U.S. Registration No. 5600187. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP
`§§1207.01 et seq. See the attached registration ("Exhibit A").
`
`The applicant GusHill Industries LLC has applied for the mark "GUSHILL USA" in standard
`characters for "Tow bars for trailers; Tow bars for vehicles; Aeroplanes towing vehicles; Metal
`locking device for trailer hitch couplers; Steps for attachment to trailer hitches; Trailer hitch ball
`covers; Trailer hitch covers; Trailer hitches; Vehicle tow bar connector covers; Vehicle tow bars"
`in International Class 12.
`
`The registrant Liminal Industries, Inc., owns the registered mark " GUSHILL" in standard characters
`for "Metal locking device for trailer hitch couplers" in International Class 12.
`
`In this case, the following factors are the most relevant: similarity of the marks, similarity and nature of
`the goods, and similarity of the trade channels of the goods.  See In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358,
`1361-62, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`Comparison of Marks
`
`

`

`Marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance, sound, connotation, and
`commercial impression. Stone Lion Capital Partners, LP v. Lion Capital LLP, 746 F.3d 1317, 1321,
`110 USPQ2d 1157, 1160 (Fed. Cir. 2014); TMEP §1207.01(b)-(b)(v). “Similarity in any one of these
`elements may be sufficient to find the marks confusingly similar.” In re Inn at St. John’s, LLC, 126
`USPQ2d 1742, 1746 (TTAB 2018) (citing In re Davia, 110 USPQ2d 1810, 1812 (TTAB 2014)), aff’d
`per curiam, 777 F. App’x 516, 2019 BL 343921 (Fed. Cir. 2019); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`Where the goods of an applicant and registrant are identical in part, as is the case here, the degree of
`similarity between the marks required to support a finding that confusion is likely declines. See Cai v.
`Diamond Hong, Inc., 901 F.3d 1367, 1373, 127 USPQ2d 1797, 1801 (Fed. Cir. 2018); TMEP
`§1207.01(b).
`
`In this instance, the applied-for mark "GUSHILL USA" encompasses the entirety of the registered
`mark "GUSHILL".  Incorporating the entirety of one mark within another does not obviate the similarity
`between the compared marks, as in the present case, nor does it overcome a likelihood of confusion
`under Section 2(d). See Wella Corp. v. Cal. Concept Corp., 558 F.2d 1019, 1022, 194 USPQ 419, 422
`(C.C.P.A. 1977) (holding CALIFORNIA CONCEPT and surfer design and CONCEPT confusingly
`similar); TMEP §1207.01(b)(iii). In the present case, the marks are identical in part.
`
`The inclusion of the term "USA" in the applied-for mark does not obviate the likelihood of
`confusion.  Consumers are generally more inclined to focus on the first word in any trademark. 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) (finding similarity between VEUVE ROYALE and two VEUVE
`CLICQUOT marks in part because “VEUVE . . . remains a ‘prominent feature’ as the first word in the
`mark and the first word to appear on the label”).  The first term in the applied-for mark is "GUSHILL",
`which is identical to the registered mark.
`
`Further, as discussed below in Disclaimer Required, the term "USA" merely describes the geographic
`origin of the applicant's services.  Although marks are compared in their entireties, one feature of a mark
`may be more significant or dominant in creating a commercial impression. See In re Detroit Athletic
`Co., 903 F.3d 1297, 1305, 128 USPQ2d 1047, 1050 (Fed. Cir. 2018); TMEP §1207.01(b)(viii), (c)(ii).
`Matter that is descriptive of or generic for a party’s goods is typically less significant or less dominant
`in relation to other wording in a mark. See Anheuser-Busch, LLC v. Innvopak Sys. Pty Ltd., 115
`USPQ2d 1816, 1824-25 (TTAB 2015). Thus, consumers are likely to perceive this wording as merely
`indicating the geographic region in which the goods are produced and sold and, instead, consider the
`shared term "GUSHILL" to be the source-indicating wording in the mark.
`
`Based on the foregoing, the applied-for mark and registered mark are sufficiently similar to find a
`likelihood of confusion.
`
`Comparison of Goods
`The compared goods need not be identical or even competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.  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); TMEP
`§1207.01(a)(i).  They need only be “related in some manner and/or if the circumstances surrounding
`their marketing are such that they could give rise to the mistaken belief that [the goods] emanate from
`the same source.”  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).
`
`

`

`
`Determining likelihood of confusion is based on the description of the goods stated in the application
`and registration at issue, not on extrinsic evidence of actual use.  See In re Detroit Athletic Co., 903
`F.3d 1297, 1307, 128 USPQ2d 1047, 1052 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (citing In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d
`1315, 1325, 123 USPQ2d 1744, 1749 (Fed. Cir. 2017)).   Here, the application and registration have
`identical entries for "metal locking device for trailer hitch couplers".  Additionally, these entries have no
`restrictions as to nature, type, channels of trade, or classes of purchasers and are “presumed to travel in
`the same channels of trade to the same class of purchasers.”  In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362,
`101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281
`F.3d 1261, 1268, 62 USPQ2d 1001, 1005 (Fed. Cir. 2002)).  Thus, applicant’s and registrant’s goods
`are identical in part and related.  See, e.g., In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 127 USPQ2d 1627, 1629 (TTAB
`2018).
`
`Furthermore, the goods at issue are related because the goods commonly emanate from the same
`commercial entity. In support thereof, the examining attorney has attached Internet evidence from
`producers and retailers of trailer hitch and tow bar accessories ("Exhibit B").  This evidence establishes
`that the same entity, such as Rigid Hitch, commonly manufactures trailer hitches and two bars, metal
`locks for trailer hitches, and similar accessories, under the same mark, which are marketed and
`provided through the same trade channels and used by the same classes of consumers.
`
`Thus, the goods of the applicant and registrant are considered related for likelihood of confusion
`purposes.  See, e.g., In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1202-04 (TTAB 2009).
`
`Conclusion
`Because the applied-for mark and the registered mark are similar and the goods are related, registration
`is refused for a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d).
`
`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 requirements set forth below.
`
`
`Name Inquiry
`Applicant must clarify whether the name Gus Hill in the mark identifies a particular living individual
`and, if so, provide this individual’s written consent to register the name.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b);
`TMEP §§813, 1206.03, 1206.04(a).  To register a mark that includes or comprises the name of a
`particular living individual, including a first name, pseudonym, stage name, or nickname, an applicant
`must provide the individual’s written consent to register the name, personally signed by the named
`individual.  15 U.S.C. §1052(c); TMEP §§813, 1206.03, 1206.04(a).  In the present case, the
`application does not specify whether the name in the mark identifies a particular living individual nor
`does it include a written consent.  See TMEP §§813.01(a)-(b), 1206.04(a), 1206.05.
`
`If the name in the mark does not identify a particular living individual, applicant must submit a
`statement to that effect.  TMEP §§813.01(b), 1206.05.  The following format is suggested:  “ The name
`shown in the mark does not identify a particular living individual.”  TMEP §813.01(b). 
`
`If the name in the mark does identify a particular living individual, applicant must submit both of
`the following: 
`
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`(1)   A statement identifying the actual name of the individual and indicating that the name in the
`mark identifies this individual.  TMEP §§813.01(a), 1206.04(a). 
`
`The following format is suggested:  “ The name shown in the mark identifies <specify actual
`name>, a living individual whose consent to register is made of record.” 
`
`If the name is a pseudonym, stage name, or nickname, the following format is suggested:  “ Gus
`Hill identifies <specify actual name>, a living individual whose consent to register is made
`of record.” 
`
`
`
`(2)   A written consent for applicant to register the name, personally signed by the named
`individual.  TMEP §§813, 1206.04(a). 
`
`The following format is suggested:  “ I, <specify actual name>, consent to the registration of
`my name, Gus Hill, as a trademark and/or service mark with the USPTO.”
`
`For an overview of the requirements for names appearing in marks, and instructions on how to satisfy
`the above requirements using the online Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) response
`form, see the Name or Likeness of a Particular Living Individual in a Trademark webpage.  
`
`Applicant has a duty to respond directly and completely to this requirement for information.  See In re
`Ocean Tech., Inc., 2019 USPQ2d 450686, at *2 (TTAB 2019) (citing In re AOP LLC, 107 USPQ2d
`1644, 1651 (TTAB 2013)); TMEP §814.  Failure to comply with a requirement for information is an
`independent ground for refusing registration.  In re SICPA Holding SA, 2021 USPQ2d 613, at *6
`(TTAB 2021) (citing In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1919 (TTAB 2008); In re DTI
`P’ship LLP, 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701-02 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §814). 
`
`
`Additional Fee - Loss of TEAS Plus
`Applicant must submit an additional processing fee of $100 per class because the application as
`originally filed did not meet the TEAS Plus application filing requirements.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.22(c);
`TMEP §§819.01-.01(q), 819.03.  Specifically, applicant failed to meet the following requirement:  a
`consent to register the mark from the person identified in the mark (or conversely, if appropriate, a
`statement that the name or portrait in the mark does not identify a living individual) was not provided. 
`
`The additional processing fee is required regardless of whether applicant satisfies these application
`requirements.
`
`Accordingly, the application will no longer be treated as TEAS Plus; it is now considered a TEAS
`Standard application.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.22(c); TMEP §819.03.
`
`
`Disclaimer Required
`Applicant must disclaim the wording “USA” because it is primarily geographically descriptive of the
`origin of applicant’s goods.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1052(e)(2), 1056(a); In re Societe Generale des Eaux
`Minerales de Vittel S.A., 824 F.2d 957, 959, 3 USPQ2d 1450, 1451-52 (Fed. Cir. 1987); TMEP
`§§1210.01(a), 1210.06(a), 1213.03(a).
`
`The attached evidence from The American Heritage and Wikipedia shows that USA is a generally
`
`

`

`known geographic place or location, a country located in North America which is the third most
`populous in the world ("Exhibit C").  See TMEP §§1210.02 et seq.  The goods for which applicant
`seeks registration originate in this geographic place or location as shown by applicant’s address, which
`indicates it is in Florida, a state in the southeast of the United States ("Exhibit D").  See TMEP
`§1210.03.  Because the goods originate in this place or location, a public association of the goodswith
`the place is presumed.  See In re Hollywood Lawyers Online, 110 USPQ2d 1852, 1858 (TTAB 2014);
`TMEP §§1210.02(a) 1210.04.  
`
`Applicant may respond to this issue by submitting a disclaimer in the following format:
`
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “USA” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`
`For an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to provide one using the Trademark Electronic
`Application System (TEAS), see the Disclaimer webpage.
