`OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER(cid:160)
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST
`RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/3/2010
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`
`must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below.(cid:160) 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).(cid:160) TMEP
`§704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`SECTION 2(E)(1) REFUSAL
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature of applicant’s goods
`and/or services.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); see TMEP §§1209.01(b), 1209.03
`et seq.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
` mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature,
`purpose or use of the specified goods and/or services.(cid:160) TMEP §1209.01(b); see In re Steelbuilding.com,
`415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1421 (Fed. Cir. 2005); In re Gyulay, 820 F.2d 1216, 1217-18, 3
`
`USPQ2d 1009, 1010 (Fed. Cir. 1987).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The applicant has applied to register ROBOTICBED for electric care beds, in International Class 10.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he proposed mark is merely descriptive of a feature of the identified goods because it immediately and
`clearly conveys to prospective purchasers that the applicant’s bed has robotic features. (cid:160) The identification
`of the goods states that the beds have an “electric” component thereto. (cid:160) The term “ROBOTIC” is
`defined as “used for describing a part of a machine that moves around by itself.” (cid:160) See attachments.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he determination of whether a mark is merely descriptive is considered in relation to the identified
`goods and/or services, not in the abstract.(cid:160) In re Abcor Dev. Corp., 588 F.2d 811, 814, 200 USPQ 215, 218
`(C.C.P.A. 1978); TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re Polo Int’l Inc. , 51 USPQ2d 1061 (TTAB 1999)
`(finding DOC in DOC-CONTROL would be understood to refer to the “documents” managed by
`applicant’s software, not “doctor” as shown in dictionary definition); In re Digital Research Inc., 4
`USPQ2d 1242 (TTAB 1987) (finding CONCURRENT PC-DOS merely descriptive of “computer
`programs recorded on disk” where relevant trade used the denomination “concurrent” as a descriptor of
`a particular type of operating system).(cid:160) “Whether consumers could guess what the product is from
`consideration of the mark alone is not the test.” (cid:160) In re Am. Greetings Corp., 226 USPQ 365, 366 (TTAB
`1985).
`
`(cid:160)M
`
`aterial obtained from the Internet is generally accepted as competent evidence in examination and ex
`parte proceedings.(cid:160) See In re Rodale Inc., 80 USPQ2d 1696, 1700 (TTAB 2006) (Internet evidence
`accepted by the Board to show genericness); In re White, 80 USPQ2d 1654, 1662 (TTAB 2006) (Internet
`evidence accepted by the Board to show false connection); In re Joint-Stock Co. “Baik”, 80 USPQ2d
`1305, 1308-09 (TTAB 2006) (Internet evidence accepted by the Board to show geographic significance);
`Fram Trak Indus. v. WireTracks LLC, 77 USPQ2d 2000, 2006 (TTAB 2006) (Internet evidence accepted
`by the Board to show relatedness of goods); In re Consol. Specialty Rest. Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1921, 1927-29
`(TTAB 2004) (Internet evidence accepted by the Board to show that geographic location is well-known
`for particular goods); In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d 1792, 1793 (TTAB 2004) (Internet evidence accepted by
`the Board to show surname significance); In re Fitch IBCA Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1058, 1060 (TTAB 2002)
`(Internet evidence accepted by the Board to show descriptiveness); TBMP §1208.03; TMEP §710.01(b).(cid:160)
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`wo major reasons for not protecting descriptive marks are (1) to prevent the owner of a descriptive mark
`from inhibiting competition in the marketplace and (2) to avoid the possibility of costly infringement suits
`brought by the trademark or service mark owner.(cid:160) In re Abcor Dev. Corp., 588 F.2d 811, 813, 200 USPQ
`215, 217 (C.C.P.A. 1978); TMEP §1209.(cid:160) Businesses and competitors should be free to use descriptive
`language when describing their own goods and/or services to the public in advertising and marketing
`materials.(cid:160) See In re Styleclick.com Inc., 58 USPQ2d 1523, 1527 (TTAB 2001).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by
`submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`upplemental Register Not Eligible
`A mark in an application under Trademark Act Section 1(b) is not eligible for registration on the
`Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use under 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been filed.(cid:160)
`37 C.F.R. §§2.47(d), 2.75(b); TMEP §§815.02, 1102.03. (cid:160) When a Section 1(b) application is successfully
`amended to the Supplemental Register, the effective filing date of the application will be the date on
`which applicant met the minimum filing requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(e) for the amendment to allege
`use.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.75(b); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`OTHER REQUIREMENT(S)
`Applicant must respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.
`
`APPLICATION PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 1(B) AND 44(D)
`The application specifies both an intent to use basis under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and a claim of
`priority under Section 44(d) based on a foreign application.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1126(d); 37 C.F.R.
`§2.34(a)(2), (a)(4).(cid:160) However, the application does not include a foreign registration certificate or a
`statement indicating whether applicant intends to rely upon the resulting foreign registration under
`Section 44(e) as an additional basis for registration.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1126(e).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough Section 44(d) provides a basis for filing and a priority filing date, it does not provide a basis for
`publication or registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(4)(iii); TMEP §§1002.02, 1003.03.(cid:160) It is unclear whether
`applicant intends to rely on Section 44(e) as an additional basis for registration.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must clarify the basis in the application by satisfying one of the following:
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If applicant intends to rely on Section 44(e), in addition to Section 1(b), as a basis for
`registration, applicant must so specify.(cid:160) In addition, (i) applicant’s country of origin must
`either be a party to a convention or treaty relating to trademarks to which the United States is
`also a party, or must extend reciprocal registration rights to nationals of the United States by
`law; and (ii) applicant must submit a true copy, photocopy, certification or certified copy of
`the foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin. (cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1126(b)-(c), (e);
`37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §§806.02(f), 1002.01, 1004.(cid:160) A copy of the foreign
`registration must be a copy of a document that issued to the applicant by or was certified by
`the intellectual property office in the applicant’s country of origin. (cid:160) TMEP §1004.01.(cid:160) If the
`foreign registration is not written in English, then applicant must provide an English
`translation.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii).(cid:160) The translation should be signed by the translator.(cid:160)
`TMEP §1004.01(b).(cid:160) If the foreign registration has not yet issued, or applicant requires
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`
`additional time to procure a copy of the foreign registration (and English translation, as
`appropriate), applicant should respond to this Office action requesting suspension pending
`receipt of the foreign registration documentation.(cid:160) TMEP §1003.04(b).; or
`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If applicant intends to rely on an intent to use basis under Section 1(b), while retaining its
`Section 44(d) priority filing date, applicant must specify that it does not intend to rely on
`Section 44(e) as a basis for registration and request that the mark be approved for publication
`based solely on the Section 1(b) basis.(cid:160) See TMEP §§806.02(f), 806.04(b), 1003.04(b).(cid:160)
`Although the mark may be approved for publication on the Section 1(b) basis, it will not
`register until an acceptable allegation of use has been filed.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c)-(d); 37
`C.F.R. §§2.76, 2.88; TMEP §1103.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
`The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) Applicant must
`
`specify the industry or field in which the goods are used or intended to be used.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The identification of goods must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other
`
`international classes.(cid:160) See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant may adopt the following identification of goods, if accurate.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) Bracketed
`wordings are suggested deletions and bolded wordings are suggested amendments.
`
`International Class 10
`Electric care beds, namely, hospital beds for use by burn patients
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`nternational Class 20 (see below for adding this class)
`Electric beds
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`n applicant may amend an identification of goods only to clarify or limit the goods; adding to or
`broadening the scope of the goods is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq.,
`
`1402.07 et seq.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and/or services in trademark applications, please see
`the online searchable Manual of Acceptable Identifications of Goods and Services at
`http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`ADDITIONAL CLASS – INTENT TO USE AND/OR SECTION 44
`For an application with more than one international class, called a “multiple-class application,” an
`applicant must meet all of the requirements below for those international classes based on an intent to use
`the mark under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and/or a foreign registration under Section 44(e)>:
`

`and/or services by international class; and
`
