`
`FINAL SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL – MERELY DESCRIPTIVE
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration was refused because the applied-for mark merely describes the use and a feature of applicant’s goods. (cid:160) Trademark Act Section
`2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); see TMEP §§1209.01(b), 1209.03 et seq. The examining attorney has considered the applicant’s argument, but
`is not persuaded.(cid:160) Therefore, the Section 2(e)(1) refusal because the applied-for mark merely describes the use and a feature of applicant’s goods
`is continued and made FINAL.
`
`(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) Moreover, a mark that identifies a group of users to whom an applicant directs its
`goods and/or services is also merely descriptive.(cid:160) TMEP §1209.03(i); see In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1454 (TTAB 2004).
`
`(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)T
`
`he proposed mark is DJ SOUND EFFECT for Audio mixers; Digital audio players; personal stereos, in Class 9.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant has disclaimed the term “SOUND EFFECT”, arguing that DJ is suggestive. (cid:160) However, the disclaimer is insufficient, as the entire
`mark is descriptive of the goods.
`In this case, applicant’s mark, DJ SOUND EFFECTS, merely describes the fact that applicant’s goods have, or are capable of playing sound
`effects, and that they are directed towards DJs.
`The wording “DJ” means “disc jockey” which is a person that plays music or records and applicant’s use of this wording merely describes the
`intended users of applicant’s goods. Yahoo! Education (2013) http://www.education.yahoo.com(cid:160) See attachments to Office action no. 1. A mark
`that describes an intended user or group of users of a product or service is merely descriptive. E.g., In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453
`(TTAB 2004) (holding GASBUYER merely descriptive of intended user of risk management services in the field of pricing and purchasing
`natural gas); In re Camel Mfg. Co., 222 USPQ 1031 (TTAB 1984) (holding MOUNTAIN CAMPER merely descriptive of intended users of
`retail and mail order services in the field of outdoor equipment and apparel); see TMEP §1209.03(i).
`Disc Jockey is defined as “ : an announcer of a radio show of popular recorded music; also : one who plays recorded music for dancing at a
`nightclub or party” (emphasis added) “disc jockey” Merriam-Webster (2010) http://www.merriam-webster.com/.(cid:160) See attachment.(cid:160) The
`examining attorney refers to the attached excerpts from the following websites as a representative sample showing that people serve as DJs at
`their own parties.(cid:160) Therefore, the concept of a DJ includes consumers who act as DJ at their own parties.(cid:160) Therefore, the fact that the applicant’s
`goods are directed to the amateur DJ does not diminish the descriptiveness of the proposed mark.
`http://www.wikihow.com(cid:160) Accessed October 4, 2013.(cid:160) See attachment DJa.
`http://howto.menshealth.com(cid:160) Accessed October 4, 2013.(cid:160) See attachment DJb.
`http://www.ehow.com(cid:160) Accessed October 4, 2013.(cid:160) See attachment DJb
`In the alternative, the mark DJ SOUND EFFECTS describes a feature of the goods, which are used to provide sound effects such as a DJ would
`use.(cid:160) The fact that the goods are used to provide DJ sound effects is confirmed by the applicant’s website, which states “Six effects give you
`masterful control over the music to entertain your listeners with DJ-like club tricks and sounds” and “Select 6 DJ Effects”.
`http://www.panasonic.com(cid:160) Accessed October 4, 2013. See attachment.
`The wording “sound effects” are defined by the Houghton Mifflin dictionary (cid:160) as an “imitative sound, as of thunder or an explosion, produced
`artificially for theatrical.” Yahoo! Education (2013) http://www.education.yahoo.com(cid:160)(cid:160) Accessed February 26, 2013. See Exhibit C attached to
`Office action no. 1. Also, sound mixers can feature on board sound effects and applicant’s use of the wording “sound effects” in connection
`with mixers merely describes that they feature sound effects. http://www.newegg.com; http://www.pandawill.com(cid:160) Accessed February 26, 2013.(cid:160)
`See Exhibits A and B attached to Office action no. 1.(cid:160) In addition, sound effects can be in CD and MP3 format and thus could be played on
`personal stereos and through digital music players. http://www.amazon.com .(cid:160) Accessed February 26, 2013. See Exhibit D attached to Office
`action no. 1.(cid:160) Because of this, applicant’s use of the term “sound effects” in connection with these goods merely indicates that they are capable
`of playing sound effects.
`The examining attorney refers to additional websites referring to DJ sound effects created by audio mixers, players, stereos, and other audio
`technology.(cid:160)

`
`(cid:160)
`
`
`Generally, a mark that merely combines descriptive words is not registrable if the individual components retain their descriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods and the combination results in a composite mark that is itself descriptive. TMEP §1209.03(d); see, e.g., In re King Koil
`Licensing Co. Inc., 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)O
`
`nly where the combination of descriptive terms creates a unitary mark with a unique, incongruous, or otherwise nondescriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods is the combined mark registrable. See, e.g., 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 do not create a unique,
`incongruous or nondescriptive meaning in relation to the goods. Specifically, the mark merely informs consumers that merely describes the fact
`that applicant’s goods have, or are capable of playing sound effects, and that they are directed towards DJs, and, in the alternative, the goods
`play sound effects such as a DJ would use.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the Section 2(e)(1) descriptiveness refusal is continued and made FINAL.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`MENDMENT TO SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER SUGGESTED AFTER ACCEPTABLE AMENDMENT TO ALLEGE USE IS
`FILED
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough an amendment to the Supplemental Register would normally be an appropriate response to this refusal, such a response is not
`appropriate in the present case.(cid:160) The instant application was filed under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and is not eligible for registration on the
`Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use meeting the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(b), (c) has been timely filed.(cid:160) 37
`C.F.R. §2.47(d); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant files an acceptable allegation of use and also amends 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.(cid:160) In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the Office records for
`conflicting marks based on the later application filing date.(cid:160) TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`o amend the application filing basis from an intent-to-use application under Trademark Act Section 1(b) to a use in commerce basis under
`Section 1(a), applicant must file, prior to approval of the mark for publication, an amendment to allege use that satisfies the requirements of 37
`C.F.R. §2.76.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c); 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(8); TMEP §§806.01(b), 1103.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following must be submitted in an amendment to allege use in order to amend an application to use in commerce under Section 1(a):
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)

`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)

`
`A specimen showing actual use of the mark in commerce for each class of goods and/or services for which use is being asserted.(cid:160) If a
`single specimen supports multiple classes, applicant should indicate which classes the specimen supports rather than providing
`multiple copies of the same specimen;
`
`(5)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`A filing fee of $100 per class for each international class of goods and/or services for which use is being asserted (current fee
`information should be confirmed at http://www.uspto.gov/); and
`
`(6)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Verification of the above (1) through (3) requirements in an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20.

`Make sure it has a large wattage. 150 watts is good amount. OK if
`your starting out doing little house parties for younger kids. You really
`need to get an amp that has 300 watts per channel and speakers that
`can handle the power output. The more shows you do, you want to
`have two or more amps and a mixture of speakers including subs. Even
`bigger shows more watts, more power handling speakers.
`
`Get decent music of the party type. Either ask people what music
`they like and get it, orjust have a mixture of genres. Mainly popular
`music on the charts would work, but just in case, get some old classics
`to balance it out.
`
`Get a decent microphone for announcements.
`
`Get a good DJ. Or. if ou are the DJ. then get some practice. Keep a
`steady beat when transitioning because it can throw people off while
`they are dancing.

`Keep an eye out for how patrons are reacting to the music. Watch for
`people covering their ears and for bobbing heads. Check the volume
`yourself by walking around the room.
`
`Have a lot of songs and vary them depending on the time available at the
`party-
`
`Try and mix a funky new song for the party.
