`register the mark under Section 2(d) with regard to prior-filed Application Serial Nos. 75742114,
`75772783 and 76309290, are withdrawn.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he refusal to register the mark under Section 2(e)(1) as merely descriptive is maintained and continued.(cid:160)
`(See attachments consisting of dictionary definitions and copies of excerpts from representative articles,
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`
`obtained from a search of the Lexis® computerized database and the Google® Internet search engine,
`which clearly demonstrate the descriptive nature of the term “e-wear”).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he examining attorney regrets the inconvenience to the applicant, however, upon further consideration of
`this application, the examining attorney has determined that the applicant should note the following new
`refusal.
`
`(cid:160)N
`
`ew Refusal - Likelihood of Confusion
`The examining attorney refuses registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d),
`because the applicant’s mark, when used on or in connection with the identified goods, so resembles the
`mark in U.S. Registration No. 2293127 as to be likely to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive.(cid:160)
`TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registration.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he examining attorney must analyze each case in two steps to determine whether there is a likelihood of
`confusion.(cid:160) First, the examining attorney must look at the marks themselves for similarities in appearance,
`sound, connotation and commercial impression. (cid:160) In re E. I. DuPont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357,
`177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973).(cid:160) Second, the examining attorney must compare the goods or services to
`determine if they are related or if the activities surrounding their marketing are such that confusion as to
`origin is likely.(cid:160) In re August Storck KG, 218 USPQ 823 (TTAB 1983); In re International Telephone and
`Telegraph Corp., 197 USPQ 910 (TTAB 1978); Guardian Products Co., v. Scott Paper Co., 200 USPQ
`
`738 (TTAB 1978).(cid:160) TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The applicant applied to register the mark E-WEAR.(cid:160) The registered mark is ELECTRONIC WEAR.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant’s mark is similar to the registrant’s mark in appearance and creates the same overall
`impression because the letter “E” is a common abbreviation for the word “ELECTRONIC.” (cid:160)
`(See
`attachments).(cid:160) The test of likelihood of confusion is not whether the marks can be distinguished when
`subjected to a side‑by‑side comparison.(cid:160) The issue is whether the marks create the same overall
`impression. Visual Information Institute, Inc. v. Vicon Industries Inc., 209 USPQ 179 (TTAB 1980).(cid:160) The
`focus is on the recollection of the average purchaser who normally retains a general rather than specific
`impression of trademarks.(cid:160) Chemetron Corp. v. Morris Coupling & Clamp Co., 203 USPQ 537 (TTAB
`1979); Sealed Air Corp. v. Scott Paper Co., 190 USPQ 106 (TTAB 1975); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he goods of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160)
`They need only be related in some manner, or the conditions surrounding their marketing be such, that
`they could be encountered by the same purchasers under circumstances that could give rise to the
`mistaken belief that the goods come from a common source.(cid:160) In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc.,
`748 F.2d 1565, 223 USPQ 1289 (Fed. Cir. 1984); In re Corning Glass Works, 229 USPQ 65 (TTAB
`1985); In re Rexel Inc., 223 USPQ 830 (TTAB 1984); Guardian Products Co., Inc. v. Scott Paper Co.,
`200 USPQ 738 (TTAB 1978); In re International Telephone & Telegraph Corp., 197 USPQ 910 (TTAB
`
`1978).(cid:160) TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Moreover, the examining attorney must consider any goods or services in the registrant’s normal fields
`of expansion to determine whether the registrant’s goods or services are related to the applicant’s
`identified goods or services under Section 2(d).(cid:160)
`In re General Motors Corp., 196 USPQ 574 (TTAB
`
`1977).(cid:160) TMEP §1207.01(a)(v).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In this case, some of the applicant’s goods are now substantially related to the registrant’s goods, and/or
`are within the reasonable fields of expansion of the registrant’s goods.(cid:160) Specifically, the registrant’s
`
`

`
`goods include “cellular phones,” and the applicant’s goods include, “…portable ... digital camcorders,
`digital still cameras, digital audio players and digital voice recorder; …video monitors ….” (cid:160) Within the
`last six months to a year, cellular telephones which incorporate cameras, camcorders, audio players, voice
`recorders and video monitors have became readily available to the consumer public.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`ccordingly, the examining attorney refuses registration under Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d), because
`the mark for which registration is sought so resembles the registrant’s mark as to be likely, when used on
`the identified goods, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough the examining attorney has refused registration, the applicant may respond to the refusal to
`register by submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone
`the assigned examining attorney.
