`deceptively misdescriptive; (5) argued against the refusal to register the mark under Section 2(d)
`with regard to Reg. No. 1845160; (6) argued again:¥ the potential refusal to register the mark
`under Section 2(d) with regard to prior-filed Applcation Serial Nos. 75885905, 75755972,

`Mark is Merely Descriptive
`Registration was refused under Trademark Act Section 2(e)(l), l5 U.S.C. Section lO52(e)(l),
`because the subject matter for which registration is sought is merely descriptive ofthe identified
`goods.
`The examining attorney has considered the applicant's arguments carefully but has found them
`unpersuasive. Accordingly, the refusal under Section 2(e)('1) is maintained and continued.
`(See
`attachments consisting of excerpts from representative articles concerning wearable electronics).
`
`

`
`76/002076
`
`Mark is Deceptively Misdescriptive
`Registration was refused under Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 USC. Section 1052(_e)(1),
`because the subject matter for which registration is sought is deceptively misdescriptive of the
`identified goods.
`.
`.
`
`The examining attorney has considered the applicant's arguments carefully but has found them
`unpersuasive. Accordingly, the refusal under Section 2(e)(1) is maintained and continued.
`(See
`attachments consisting of excerpts from representative articles concerning wearable electronics).
`
`Likelihood of Confusion
`
`Registration was refilsed under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d), because
`the mark for which registration is sought so resembles the mark shown in U.S. Registration No.
`1845160 as to be likely, when used on the identified goods, to cause confusion, or to cause
`mistake, or to deceive.
`
`The examining attorney has considered the applicant's arguments carefully but has found them
`unpersuasive. Accordingly, the refilsal under Section 2(d) is maintained and continued.
`(See
`attachments consisting of representative third party registrations demonstrating the marketing of
`audio/tape/CD players under the same trademark as clothes).
`
`If the applicant has any questions, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.

`
`Koontz notes that the technology has already been developed. "Phillips Electronics has teamed with
`Levi-Strauss and created the ICD+ jackets which are equipped with a 'Personal Area Network,‘ or
`PAN, which provides a backbone for wearable electronics. It allows data, power, and control
`signals to be transported within the user's personal space. Modular devices with functions shared by
`different applications can be hooked up to it--such as a single display
`
`overcome, though—-the washing machine. "Although mobile devices are capable of working in the
`rain, it doesn't compare to the hostile environment of a washing machine. So even though the
`valuable components of today's wearable electronics, such as the mobile phone, will be
`unplugged, a substantial part of the integrated wiring, eripherals, and connectors must still be able
`to withstand washing or other forms of garment care," oontz warns.

`These lightweight computers are coming soon to the c nsumer market, some companies say. In
`fact, aided by ever-shrinking components, wireless corflnections and lots of ingenious engineering, a
`
`few off—the—she|f versions of wearable electronics ar already available. Manufacturers hope
`consumers will use them to look sharp, have fun, lose weight, sleep better and even improve their
`memories.
`
`One example of the new wearable electronics —— a combination cell phone and MP3 player, tucked
`into a stylish jacket ~- went on sale last month for about $900 in London and a handful of other
`European cities.
