`
`RADEMARK ACT SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes(cid:160) 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 an applicant’s 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, 1009-10 (Fed. Cir. 1987).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant has applied to register LASER COLOR ENGINE for:
`
`Class 9:(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Liquid crystal displays; Television displays; Computer displays; Video projectors; Television sets; Computers; Mobile
`telephones; Mobile telephones having a function of a projector; Optical and electronic projection instruments and components,
`namely, laser light source, illumination optics comprised of rotating lens arrays, rod integrators, and LCD panels, and integrated
`circuits
`
`Class 11:(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Lighting fixtures; Indoor and outdoor ornamental lighting installations
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he proposed mark is a combination of descriptive terms that immediately conveys the nature of the goods, namely, electronic and/or electric
`goods that employ color laser technology.(cid:160) Generally, if the individual components of a mark retain their descriptive meaning in relation to the
`goods and/or services, the combination results in a composite mark that is itself descriptive and not registrable.(cid:160) In re Phoseon Tech., Inc., 103
`USPQ2d 1822, 1823 (TTAB 2012); TMEP §1209.03(d); see, e.g., In re King Koil Licensing Co., 79 USPQ2d 1048, 1052 (TTAB 2006) (holding
`THE BREATHABLE MATTRESS merely descriptive of beds, mattresses, box springs, and pillows where the evidence showed that the term
`“BREATHABLE” retained its ordinary dictionary meaning when combined with the term “MATTRESS” and the resulting combination was
`used in the relevant industry in a descriptive sense); In re Associated Theatre Clubs Co., 9 USPQ2d 1660, 1663 (TTAB 1988) (holding GROUP
`SALES BOX OFFICE merely descriptive of theater ticket sales services because such wording “is nothing more than a combination of the two
`common descriptive terms most applicable to applicant’s services which in combination achieve no different status but remain a common
`
`descriptive compound expression”). (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Only where the combination of descriptive terms creates a unitary mark with a unique, incongruous, or otherwise nondescriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods and/or services is the combined mark registrable.(cid:160) See In re Colonial Stores, Inc., 394 F.2d 549, 551, 157 USPQ 382, 384
`(C.C.P.A. 1968).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, both the individual components and the composite result are descriptive of applicant’s goods and/or services and do not create a
`unique, incongruous, or nondescriptive meaning in relation to the goods and/or services.(cid:160) Specifically, the attached dictionary evidence defines
`LASER as “a source of high-intensity optical, infrared, or ultraviolet radiation produced as a result of stimulated emission maintained within a
`solid, liquid, or gaseous medium. The photons involved in the emission process all have the same energy and phase so that the laser beam is
`monochromatic and coherent, allowing it to be brought to a fine focus;” COLOR as “an attribute of things that results from the light they reflect,
`transmit, or emit in so far as this light causes a visual sensation that depends on its wavelengths;” and ENGINE as “any machine designed to
`convert energy, esp heat energy, into mechanical work.”
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n further support of the descriptiveness of the proposed mark, please see the attached third party web page showing descriptive use of LASER
`COLOR ENGINE in connection with computer peripherals, namely, laser printers.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`inally, it is noted that applicant’s ownership of U.S. Trademark Reg. No. 3175676 (cid:160) on the Supplemental Register is probative evidence of the
`descriptiveness of the proposed mark.(cid:160) See Inst. Nat’l des Appellations D’Origine v. Vintners Int’l Co.
`, 958 F.2d 1574, 1581-82, 22 USPQ2d
`1190, 1196 (Fed. Cir. 1992); In re Box Solutions Corp., 79 USPQ2d 1953, 1955 (TTAB 2006); In re Finisar Corp., 78 USPQ2d 1618, 1621
`(TTAB 2006).

`

`

`(cid:160)I
`
`n view of the above, registration is refused under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`ESPONSE OPTION – CLAIM OF ACQUIRED DISTINCTIVENESS – ADVISORY
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant believes that its mark has acquired distinctiveness, that is, that it has become a distinctive source-indicator for the goods and/or
`services, applicant may seek registration on the Principal Register under Trademark Act Section 2(f).(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(f).(cid:160) The Office will
`decide each case on its own merits.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`(1) length and
`n determining whether the proposed mark has acquired distinctiveness, the following factors are generally considered:(cid:160)
`exclusivity of use of the mark in the United States by applicant; (2) the type, expense and amount of advertising of the mark in the United States;
`and (3) applicant’s efforts in the United States to associate the mark with the source of the goods and/or services, such as unsolicited media
`coverage and consumer studies.(cid:160) See In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1300, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1424 (Fed. Cir. 2005).(cid:160) A showing of
`acquired distinctiveness need not consider all of these factors, and no single factor is determinative.(cid:160) In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d at 1300,
`
`75 USPQ2d at 1424; see TMEP §§1212 et seq.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Evidence of acquired distinctiveness may include specific dollar sales under the mark, advertising figures, samples of advertising, consumer or
`dealer statements of recognition of the mark as a source identifier, affidavits, and any other evidence that establishes the distinctiveness of the
`mark as an indicator of source.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a); In re Ideal Indus., Inc., 508 F.2d 1336, 184 USPQ 487 (C.C.P.A. 1975); In re Instant
`
`Transactions Corp., 201 USPQ 957 (TTAB 1979); TMEP §§1212.06 et seq.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`Please note:(cid:160) An applicant may not base a claim of acquired distinctiveness under Trademark Act Section 2(f) on ownership of a registration on
`the Supplemental Register.(cid:160) In re Canron, Inc., 219 USPQ 820 (TTAB 1983); TMEP §1212.04(d).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirements set forth below.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`DDITIONAL INFORMATION REQUIRED
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`o permit proper examination of the application, applicant must submit additional product information about the goods.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b);
`In re DTI P’ship LLP , 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701-02 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §814.(cid:160) The requested product information should include fact sheets,
`instruction manuals, and/or advertisements.(cid:160) If these materials are unavailable, applicant should submit similar documentation for goods of the
`same type, explaining how its own product will differ.(cid:160) If the goods feature new technology and no competing goods are available, applicant
`must provide a detailed description of the goods.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he submitted factual information must make clear how the goods operate, their salient features, and their prospective customers and channels of
`trade.(cid:160) Conclusory statements regarding the goods will not satisfy this requirement.(cid:160) Specifically, applicant must indicate any and all significance
`of the wording COLOR LASER ENGINE and/or COLOR and/or LASER and/or ENGINE when used in connection with the identified goods
`and/or when used in the relevant industry, e.g., liquid crystal displays and lighting fixtures.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`ailure to respond to a request for information is an additional ground for refusing registration.(cid:160) See In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d
`1917, 1919 (TTAB 2008); In re DTI, 67 USPQ2d at 1701-02.(cid:160) Merely stating that information about the goods is available on applicant’s
`website is an inappropriate response to a request for additional information and is insufficient to make the relevant information of record.(cid:160) See In
`re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).
`
`COPY OF FOREIGN REGISTRATION REQUIRED
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he application specifies both an intent to use basis under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and reliance on a foreign registration(s) under Section
`44(e).(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(2)-(3).(cid:160) However, the foreign registration alone may serve as a basis for obtaining a
`U.S. registration.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3); TMEP §806.01(d).(cid:160) If applicant wants to rely on the foreign registration under Section 44(e) as the
`sole basis, applicant can request deletion of the Section 1(b) basis.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(1); TMEP §806.04.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lternatively, inasmuch as applicant has not yet submitted the foreign registration or otherwise perfected the Section 44(e) basis, applicant can
`amend the application to rely solely on the Section 1 basis and request deletion of the Section 44(e) basis.
`
`(cid:160)U
`
`nless applicant indicates otherwise, this Office will presume that applicant is relying on both Sections 1(b) and 44(e).(cid:160) Thus, although the mark
`may be approved for publication, it will not register until an acceptable allegation of use has been filed for the goods and/or services based on
`Section 1(b).
