`OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS NOTIFICATION:  TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF THE REQUEST FOR
`EXTENSION OF PROTECTION OF THE INTERNATIONAL REGISTRATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE A COMPLETE RESPONSE
`TO THIS PROVISIONAL FULL REFUSAL NOTIFICATION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE “DATE ON WHICH THE NOTIFICATION
`WAS SENT TO WIPO (MAILING DATE)” LOCATED ON THE WIPO COVER LETTER ACCOMPANYING THIS NOTIFICATION.
`
`In addition to the Mailing Date appearing on the WIPO cover letter, a holder (hereafter “applicant”) may confirm this Mailing Date using the
`USPTO’s Trademark Status and Document Retrieval (TSDR) system at http://tsdr.uspto.gov/.  To do so, enter the U.S. application serial number
`for this application and then select “Documents.”   The Mailing Date used to calculate the response deadline for this provisional full refusal is the
`“Create/Mail Date” of the “IB-1rst Refusal Note.”
`
`This is a PROVISIONAL FULL REFUSAL of the request for extension of protection of the mark in the above-referenced U.S. application. 
`See 15 U.S.C. §1141h(c).  See below in this notification (hereafter “Office action”) for details regarding the provisional full refusal.
`
`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 the Office Records
`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).
`
`Refusal to Register-Mark is Merely Descriptive
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature or characteristic of the 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.
`
`  A
`
` mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of an applicant’s goods.  
`










`

`

`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)).  
`
`The determination of whether a mark is merely descriptive is made in relation to an applicant’s goods, not in the abstract.   DuoProSS Meditech
`Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1254, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1757 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re The Chamber of Commerce of the U.S.,
`675 F.3d 1297, 1300, 102 USPQ2d 1217, 1219 (Fed. Cir. 2012); TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re Polo Int’l Inc. , 51 USPQ2d 1061, 1062-63
`(TTAB 1999) (finding DOC in DOC-CONTROL would refer to the “documents” managed by applicant’s software rather than the term
`“doctor” shown in a dictionary definition); In re Digital Research Inc., 4 USPQ2d 1242, 1243-44 (TTAB 1987) (finding CONCURRENT PC-
`DOS and CONCURRENT DOS merely descriptive of “computer programs recorded on disk” where the relevant trade used the denomination
`
`“concurrent” as a descriptor of a particular type of operating system).   
`
`“Whether consumers could guess what the product [or service] is from consideration of the mark alone is not the test.”   In re Am. Greetings
`Corp., 226 USPQ 365, 366 (TTAB 1985).
`
`In this case, the applicant seeks to register “LANTERNA” for use on the following goods:
`
`            
`
`Class 9:  Visual display units; video display screens; electronic display panels; projection screens; electronic displays; digital signage;
`apparatus for recording, transmission, processing and reproduction of sound, images or data; television apparatus; audio players; video players;
`audio recorders; video recorders; audio speakers; telecommunication machines and apparatus; telecommunications transmitters; radio receivers
`and transmitters; illumination regulators; lighting control apparatus; light dimmers; electrical and electronic control apparatus and instruments;
`computers; computer software; computer software for use in operation and control of visual display units; computer software for use in operation
`and control of lamps and lighting fixtures.
`
`            
`
`Class 11:  Lamps; electric lamps; lampshades; lighting fixtures; lighting fixtures for decoration; lighting apparatus; illumination
`installations.
`
`The term “LANTERNA” is the foreign equivalent of the term “LANTERN” which refers to any hand-held light with a see-through case.  The
`foreign equivalent of a merely descriptive English term is also merely descriptive.  In re N. Paper Mills, 64 F.2d 998, 998, 17 USPQ 492, 493
`(C.C.P.A. 1933); In re Highlights for Children, Inc., 118 USPQ2d 1268, 1270 (TTAB 2016) (quoting In re Optica Int’l , 196 USPQ 775, 777
`(TTAB 1977)).  Under the doctrine of foreign equivalents, marks with foreign terms from common, modern languages are translated into English
`to determine descriptiveness.  Palm Bay Imps., Inc. v. Veuve Clicquot Ponsardin Maison Fondee en 1772, 396 F.3d 1369, 1377, 73 USPQ2d
`1689, 1696 (Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing In re Sarkli, Ltd., 721 F.2d 353, 354, 220 USPQ 111, 113 (Fed. Cir. 1983); In re Am. Safety Razor Co., 2
`USPQ2d 1459, 1460 (TTAB 1987)); see TMEP §1209.03(g).
`
`The applicant’s mark is in Italian, which is a common, modern language in the United States.  In re Ithaca Indus., Inc., 230 USPQ 702 (TTAB
`1986) (Italian).  Specifically, the evidence from Wikipedia.com shows the large number of U.S. consumers who speak this language, the foreign
`language is spoken by a sizeable world population.
`
`The doctrine is applied when “the ordinary American purchaser” would “stop and translate” the foreign term into its English equivalent.  Palm
`Bay, 396 F.3d at 1377, 73 USPQ2d at 1696 (quoting In re Pan Tex Hotel Corp., 190 USPQ 109, 110 (TTAB 1976)); TMEP §1209.03(g).  The
`ordinary American purchaser includes those proficient in the foreign language.  In re Spirits Int’l, N.V., 563 F.3d 1347, 1352, 90 USPQ2d 1489,
`
`1492 (Fed. Cir. 2009); see In re Highlights for Children, Inc., 118 USPQ2d at 1271.  
`
`In this case, the ordinary American purchaser would likely stop and translate the mark because the Italian language is a common, modern
`language spoken by an appreciable number of consumers in the United States.  Inasmuch as the applicant’s goods are lamps, lighting fixtures
`and lighting apparatus, all of which encompass lanterns, and controls, dimmers and software for sue with lamps and lighting, the proposed mark
`is merely descriptive of a feature or characteristic of the goods and does not function as an indicator of source.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.
`
`If applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirement set forth below.
`
`Translation
`Applicant must submit an English translation of all foreign wording in the mark.  37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(9), 2.61(b); see TMEP §809.  In the present
`case, the wording “ LANTERNA” requires translation.
`








`

`

`The following translation statement is suggested:  
`The English translation of the word “ LANTERNA” in the mark is “ LANTERN”.   
`
`TMEP §809.03.  See attached translation evidence.
`
`Identification of Goods
`The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because the following wording is indefinite:  
`
`Class 9:  visual display units; electronic displays; television apparatus; audio players; video players; telecommunication machines and apparatus;
`light dimmers; electrical and electronic control apparatus and instruments.
`
`Class 11:  lighting apparatus; illumination installations.
`
`As further set forth in bold font below, this wording requires additional specificity to clarify the nature of the goods.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6);
`
`TMEP §1402.01.  Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate:  
`
`Class 9:  visual display units, namely, {specify common commercial names of goods, e.g., digital signage display panels, electronic LCD
`display unit with multi-networking (TCP/IP) capabilities; video display screens; electronic display panels; projection screens; electronic
`displays namely, {specify common commercial names of goods, e.g., digital signage}; digital signage; apparatus for recording, transmission,
`processing and reproduction of sound, images or data; television apparatus for {specify purpose, e.g., projection purposes}; {specify type, e.g.,
`digital} audio players; video {clarify type, e.g., disc} players; audio recorders; video recorders; audio speakers; telecommunication machines
`and apparatus, namely, {specify common commercial names of goods, e.g., telecommunication multiplexers}; telecommunications
`transmitters; radio receivers and transmitters; illumination regulators; lighting control apparatus; {clarify type, e.g., electric} light dimmers;
`electrical and electronic control apparatus and instruments for {specify purpose, e.g., lighting control apparatus}; computers; computer
`software for {specify function, e.g., lighting control for use in commercial and industrial facilities}; computer software for use in operation
`and control of visual display units; computer software for use in operation and control of lamps and lighting fixtures.
`
`Class 11:  Lamps; electric lamps; lampshades; lighting fixtures; lighting fixtures for decoration; lighting apparatus, namely, {specify common
`commercial names of goods, e.g., lighting installations}; illumination installations, namely, {specify common commercial names of goods,
`e.g., lighting installations}.
`
`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.
`
`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).
`
`WHO IS PERMITTED TO RESPOND TO THIS PROVISIONAL FULL REFUSAL:  Any response to this provisional refusal must be
`personally signed by an individual applicant, all joint applicants, or someone with legal authority to bind a juristic applicant (e.g., a corporate
`officer or general partner).  37 C.F.R. §§2.62(b), 2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §712.01.  If applicant hires a qualified U.S. attorney to respond on his or
`her behalf, then the attorney must sign the response.  37 C.F.R. §§2.193(e)(2)(i), 11.18(a); TMEP §§611.03(b), 712.01.  Qualified U.S. attorneys
`include those in good standing with a bar of the highest court of any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and other U.S.
`commonwealths or U.S. territories.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.17(a), 2.62(b), 11.1, 11.14(a); TMEP §§602, 712.01.  Additionally, for all responses, the
`proper signatory must personally sign the document or personally enter his or her electronic signature on the electronic filing.  See 37 C.F.R.
`§2.193(a); TMEP §§611.01(b), 611.02.  The name of the signatory must also be printed or typed immediately below or adjacent to the signature,
`or identified elsewhere in the filing.  37 C.F.R. §2.193(d); TMEP §611.01(b).
`
`In general, foreign attorneys are not permitted to represent applicants before the USPTO (e.g., file written communications, authorize an
`amendment to an application, or submit legal arguments in response to a requirement or refusal).  See 37 C.F.R. §11.14(c), (e); TMEP §§602.03-
`
`.03(b), 608.01.  
`
`DESIGNATION OF DOMESTIC REPRESENTATIVE:  The USPTO encourages applicants who do not reside in the United States to
`designate a domestic representative upon whom any notice or process may be served.  TMEP §610; see 15 U.S.C. §§1051(e), 1141h(d); 37
