`

`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: 11/18/2010
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)L
`
`ikelihood of Confusion
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 2769855.(cid:160) Trademark
`Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registration.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant has applied to register JETSPIN CYCLONE and design for, “ vacuum cleaners.” The registered mark is ROOT CYCLONE for,
`“electrical apparatus for kitchen and laundry use, namely, clothes washing machines and dishwashers; apparatus for cleaning, polishing and
`shampooing floors and carpets, namely, floor polishing machines, floor washing machines, floor scrubbing machines and carpet cleaning
`machines; vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers and floor polishers; steam cleaners for floors and carpets; electric motors for use in vacuum
`cleaners, carpet shampooers, floor polishers, washing machines and dishwashers; separation apparatus for separating dust and debris from the
`airflow in vacuum cleaners; parts and fittings for all the aforesaid goods.”
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`rademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered mark that it is likely that a potential consumer
`would be confused or mistaken or deceived as to the source of the goods and/or services of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160)
`The court in In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973) listed the principal factors to be considered
`when determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d).(cid:160) See TMEP §1207.01.(cid:160) However, not all of the factors are
`necessarily relevant or of equal weight, and any one factor may be dominant in a given case, depending upon the evidence of record.(cid:160) In re
`Majestic Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 1315, 65 USPQ2d 1201, 1204 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see In re E. I. du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361-62, 177 USPQ at
`567.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the following factors are the most relevant:(cid:160) similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods and/or services, and similarity of trade
`channels of the goods and/or services.(cid:160) See In re Opus One, Inc., 60 USPQ2d 1812 (TTAB 2001); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc. , 59 USPQ2d
`1593 (TTAB 1999); In re Azteca Rest. Enters., Inc., 50 USPQ2d 1209 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`OMPARISON OF THE MARKS
`In a likelihood of confusion determination, the marks are compared for similarities in their appearance, sound, meaning or connotation and
`commercial impression.(cid:160) In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361, 177 USPQ 563, 567 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01(b).(cid:160)
`Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB
`1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, applicant’s mark JETSPIN CYCLONE and design is similar to the registered mark ROOT CYCLONE because the applicant’s
`mark is simply the registered mark with the word ROOT substituted in the registered mark for the word JETSPIN in the applicant’s mark. Both
`marks however contain the dominant element CYCLONE, with the words JETSPIN and ROOT simply modifying the word CYCLONE. As
`such, consumers recalling these marks would remember the dominant element CYCLONE, and therefore mistakenly believe that the marks
`originate from a common source.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`OMPARISON OF THE GOODS
`The goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See Safety-Kleen Corp. v.
`Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).(cid:160) Rather, it is sufficient that the goods
`and/or services are related in some manner and/or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the
`same purchasers under circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source.(cid:160) In
`re Total Quality Group, Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc.,
`229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223
`USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the applicant’s (cid:160) goods are “vacuum cleaners” while the registrant’s goods are, “electrical apparatus for kitchen and laundry use,
`namely, clothes washing machines and dishwashers; apparatus for cleaning, polishing and shampooing floors and carpets, namely, floor
`polishing machines, floor washing machines, floor scrubbing machines and carpet cleaning machines; vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers and
`floor polishers; steam cleaners for floors and carpets; electric motors for use in vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers, floor polishers, washing
`machines and dishwashers; separation apparatus for separating dust and debris from the airflow in vacuum cleaners; parts and fittings for all the
`aforesaid goods.” The applicant’s goods and the registrant’s goods both include an identical item, namely, vacuum cleaners. However, the
`registrant’s other goods are also used to clean and maintain floors and carpets, and are therefore also similar to vacuum cleaners in their purpose
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`

`and use.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`ttached are copies of printouts from the USPTO X-Search database, which show third-party registrations of marks used in connection with the
`same or similar goods and/or services as those of applicant and registrant in this case.(cid:160) These printouts have probative value to the extent that
`they serve to suggest that the goods and/or services listed therein, namely vacuum cleaners and electrical apparatus for kitchen and laundry use,
`namely, clothes washing machines and dishwashers; apparatus for cleaning, polishing and shampooing floors and carpets, namely, floor
`polishing machines, floor washing machines, floor scrubbing machines and carpet cleaning machines; vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers and
`floor polishers; steam cleaners for floors and carpets; electric motors for use in vacuum cleaners, carpet shampooers, floor polishers, washing
`machines and dishwashers; separation apparatus for separating dust and debris from the airflow in vacuum cleaners; parts and fittings for all the
`aforesaid goods, are of a kind that may emanate from a single source.(cid:160) In re Infinity Broad. Corp. of Dallas, 60 USPQ2d 1214, 1217-18 (TTAB
`2001); In re Albert Trostel & Sons Co., 29 USPQ2d 1783, 1785-86 (TTAB 1993); In re Mucky Duck Mustard Co., 6 USPQ2d 1467, 1470 n.6
`(TTAB 1988); TMEP §1207.01(d)(iii).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ince the marks are similar and the goods are identical and closely related, there is a likelihood of confusion as to the source of the applicant’s
`goods. Therefore, applicant’s mark is not entitled to registration.
`
`(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)P
`
`rior Pending Application
`The Office records have been searched and no similar registered mark has been found that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section
`2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02.(cid:160) However, please be advised that a potentially conflicting mark in a prior-filed pending application
`(77/832057) may present a bar to registration.
