`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 5/1/2013
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant
`must respond timely and completely to the issues below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a);
`TMEP §§711, 718.03.

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

`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ection 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S.
`Registration No. 2799339.(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 as EXHBIT A.
`
`(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, mistaken, or deceived as to the source of the
`goods of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) In the seminal decision In re E. I. du Pont
`de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973), the court 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 the factors are necessarily relevant or of equal weight, and any one of
`the factors may control in a given case, depending upon the evidence of record.(cid:160) Citigroup Inc. v. Capital
`City Bank Grp., Inc., 637 F.3d 1344, 1355, 98 USPQ2d 1253, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2011); In re Majestic
`Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 1315, 65 USPQ2d 1201, 1204 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see In re E. I. du Pont de
`Nemours & Co., 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 and nature of
`the goods, and similarity of the trade channels of the goods.(cid:160) See In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1361-
`62, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc., 59 USPQ2d 1593, 1595-96
`(TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant applied to register LABALERT and stylization for “laboratory monitoring system including
`application software for displaying data on mobile devices including smart phones,
`tablets and
`computers.” The registered mark is LAB ALERT for “electric timers for scientific and laboratory use.”
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`omparison of the Marks
`Marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial
`impression.(cid:160) In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting 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)-(b)(v).(cid:160) Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find the marks
`confusingly similar.(cid:160) In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); see In re 1st USA
`Realty Prof’ls , Inc., 84 USPQ2d 1581, 1586 (TTAB 2007); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s mark is similar to the registered mark because the literal portions are identical. The only
`difference is that applicant has added color and minor stylization. This addition does not distinguish the
`applicant’s mark from the registered mark because the registered mark is in standard character format. A
`mark in typed or standard characters may be displayed in any lettering style; the rights reside in the
`wording or other literal element and not in any particular display or rendition.(cid:160) See In re Viterra Inc., 671
`F.3d 1358, 1363, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1909 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1348,
`94 USPQ2d 1257, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010); 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §1207.01(c)(iii).(cid:160) Thus, a mark
`presented in stylized characters and/or with a design element generally will not avoid likelihood of
`confusion with a mark in typed or standard characters because the marks could be presented in the same
`manner of display.(cid:160) See, e.g., In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d at 1363, 101 USPQ2d at 1909; Squirtco v. Tomy
`Corp., 697 F.2d 1038, 1041, 216 USPQ 937, 939 (Fed. Cir. 1983) (stating that “the argument concerning
`a difference in type style is not viable where one party asserts rights in no particular display”). In this case,
`the registrant has the right to display its mark exactly as the mark for which applicant has applied.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant’s mark is very similar to the registered mark.
`
`

`
`(cid:160)C
`
`omparison of the Goods
`The goods of the parties need not be identical or even competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See
`On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000);
`Recot, Inc. v. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1329, 54 USPQ2d 1894, 1898 (Fed. Cir. 2000) (“[E] ven if the goods
`in question are different from, and thus not related to, one another in kind, the same goods can be related
`
`in the mind of the consuming public as to the origin of the goods.”); TMEP §1207.01(a)( i).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Where the marks of the respective parties are identical or virtually identical, the relationship between the
`relevant goods need not be as close to support a finding of likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) See In re Shell Oil Co.,
`992 F.2d 1204, 1207, 26 USPQ2d 1687, 1689 (Fed. Cir. 1993); In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d
`1198, 1202 (TTAB 2009); In re Thor Tech, Inc., 90 USPQ2d 1634, 1636 (TTAB 2009); TMEP
`§1207.01(a).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he respective goods need only be related in some manner or the conditions surrounding their marketing
`be such that they will be encountered by the same consumers under circumstances that would lead to the
`mistaken belief that the goods originate from the same source.(cid:160) Gen. Mills Inc. v. Fage Dairy Processing
`Indus., 100 USPQ2d 1584, 1597 (TTAB 2012); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see On-line Careline Inc. v. Am.
`Online Inc., 229 F.3d at 1086, 56 USPQ2d at 1475; In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc., 748 F.2d
`1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s goods are related to the registered goods because the applicant’s goods are written so broadly
`that they could include the registered goods. In addition, even if the goods were not identical, they are of a
`kind that could be used together in a laboratory setting. Attached as EXHIBIT B is evidence from the
`USPTO’s X-Search database consisting of a number of third-party marks registered for use in connection
`with the same or similar goods as those of both applicant and registrant in this case.(cid:160) This evidence shows
`that the goods listed therein, namely, timers and laboratory software, are of a kind that may emanate from
`a single source under a single mark.(cid:160) See In re Anderson, 101 USPQ2d 1912, 1919 (TTAB 2012); 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)W
`
`here evidence shows that the goods at issue have complementary uses, and thus are often used together
`or otherwise purchased by the same purchasers for the same or related purposes, such goods have
`generally been found to be sufficiently related such that confusion would be likely if they are marketed
`under the same or similar marks.(cid:160) See In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc., 748 F.2d 1565, 1567,
`223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (holding bread and cheese to be related because they are often
`used in combination and noting that “[s] uch complementary use has long been recognized as a relevant
`consideration in determining a likelihood of confusion”); Gen. Mills Inc. v. Fage Dairy Processing Indus.,
`100 USPQ2d 1584, 1597-98 (TTAB 2012) (holding yogurt products and ready-to-eat cereals to be related
`because they are complementary products given consumers’ longstanding behavior of mixing these types
`of breakfast foods and the fact that consumers are regularly exposed to yogurt and cereal combined as a
`
`food product).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, applicant’s goods are highly related to the registered goods.
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`onclusion
`The overriding concern is not only to prevent buyer confusion as to the source of the goods, but to protect
`the registrant from adverse commercial impact due to use of a similar mark by a newcomer.(cid:160) See In re
`Shell Oil Co., 992 F.2d 1204, 1208, 26 USPQ2d 1687, 1690 (Fed. Cir. 1993).(cid:160) Therefore, any doubt
`regarding a likelihood of confusion determination is resolved in favor of the registrant.(cid:160) TMEP
`
`

`
`§1207.01(d)(i); see Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1265, 62 USPQ2d 1001,
`1003 (Fed. Cir. 2002); In re Hyper Shoppes (Ohio), Inc., 837 F.2d 463, 464-65, 6 USPQ2d 1025, 1025
`(Fed. Cir. 1988).
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ince the marks are similar and the goods are related, there is a likelihood of confusion as to the source of
`applicant’s goods. (cid:160) 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 by
`submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration. Applicant must respond to the requirement
`set forth below.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`dentification of Goods
`The identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it includes the term “system”
`which could include an endless variety of goods.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) Applicant may adopt the
`following identification, if accurate:
`
`Class 9: Laboratory monitoring system, namely, application software for displaying data on
`mobile devices including smart phones, tablets and computers
`
`Identifications of goods can be amended 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.(cid:160)
`Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods that are not within the scope of the
`goods set forth in the present identification.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or assistance with identifying and classifying goods 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.
`
`(cid:160)N
`
`ew Drawing Required
`Applicant must submit a new drawing showing the black line on the right side of the drawing deleted from
`the mark because, based on applicant’s description, it is a copying error and not part of the mark. See
`TMEP §§807.02, 807.14(a).
