`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`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: 2/25/2013
`
`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(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`EARCH OF OFFICE RECORDS – ADVISORY
`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).
`
`However, applicant must respond to the following.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`ESCRIPTIVENESS OF THE MARK – SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature of applicant’s goods. (cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C.
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`

`§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.(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)
`
`In this case, applicant’s mark, 4K TABLET, merely describes the fact that applicant’s 4K resolution tablets are tablets with four thousand pixel
`resolution.(cid:160) As shown by the attached definition from PC Magazine, the wording “4K” refers to something that has a resolution of four thousand
`horizontal pixels.(cid:160) Applicant’s identified goods are described as “4k resolution” tablets and screens.
`(cid:160) Applicant’s use of the wording “4K”
`therefore merely describes to consumers that the screens and tablets have a horizontal resolution of four thousand pixels.(cid:160) The wording “tablet”
`is the generic name for applicant’s tablet computers. (cid:160) The wording “tablet” merely describes that applicant’s screens are for use with tablets.
`
`(cid:160)G
`
`enerally, 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.(cid:160) 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)(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 is the combined mark registrable.(cid:160) 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.(cid:160) Specifically, the mark merely informs consumers that the goods are 4k
`resolution and are tablets or for use with tablets.
`
`(cid:160)B
`
`ecause the mark is merely descriptive of the goods identified in the application, registration must be refused.
`
`(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.

`Definition of: 4K resolution
`
`4K resolution
`
`Refers to approximately 4,000 pixels of horizontal resolution in several
`digital formats for shooting major motion pictures as well as scanning
`35 mm film into digital. 4K movies are used intact for cinema theater
`projection or scaled down to 1080p for Blu—ray and cable/satellite TV
`distribution.
`
`Mastered in 4K
`The huge number of pixels in 4K resolution are touted to provide more
`detail when scaled down to lower resolutions. For example, Sony offers
`Blu—ray discs entitled "Mastered in 4K, which means the source material
`was in a 4K format. Following are the common 4K (and 2K) digital
`formats. See 4K TV, UHDTV, DTV, aspect ratio and digital cinema.

`Definition of: table! computer
`
`tablet computer
`A general—purpose computer contained in a single panel. Its
`distinguishing characteristic is the use of a touch screen as the input
`device. Modern tablets are operated by fingers, and a stylus is an
`option, whereas earlier tablets required a stylus. In 2000, Microsoft
`introduced its first Windows tablet (see Tablet PC).
`
`iPad, Android, Blackflerry and Windows
`After years of limited success with tablets from a variety of vendors, in
`2010, Apple's iPad created a tablet revolution as dramatic as it did with
`the iPhone. Android tablets have given the iPad a mn for its money with
`numerous models from several vendors. BlackBerry maker Research In
`Motion (RIM) introduced the PlayBook to entice existing customers. See
`1, Android and BlackBer[y Playbook.
`
`Windows tablets have had an erratic history, appearing from time to
`time and disappearing, although Windows 8 has changed the game (see
`Windows 8 tablet and Surface tablet).
`
`Thousands of Apps
`All tablets come with a Web browser and a variety of apps. Additional
`applications are available from the vendor's online store. For example,
`iPad apps come from Apple's i‘Funes store. Android apps are available
`from Google Play (formerly Android Market), and Amazon has its own
`app store for the Android—based Fire (see Kindle Fire).

`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.(cid:160) These companies often use names that

`
`“fees.” (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.(cid:160) All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” (cid:160) For more information on how to handle
