`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

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

`

`Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “SCREEN” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes an ingredient, quality,
`characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of applicant’s goods.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §§1052(e)(1), 1056(a); DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro
`Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171,
`1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1421 (Fed. Cir. 2005); TMEP
`
`§§1213, 1213.03(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Specifically, the term “SCREEN” means “the surface on which an image is displayed, as on a television.” (cid:160) See attached dictionary evidence.(cid:160)
`Because applicant’s television sets have an external surface to display an image, the term “SCREEN” is merely descriptive of a feature of
`applicant’s goods.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`“disclaimer” is a statement in the application record that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of a mark; a
`disclaimer of unregistrable matter does not affect the appearance of the mark or physically remove disclaimed matter from the mark.(cid:160) See
`Schwarzkopf v. John H. Breck, Inc., 340 F.2d 978, 978, 144 USPQ 433, 433 (C.C.P.A. 1965); TMEP §1213.(cid:160) An unregistrable component of a
`mark includes wording and designs that are merely descriptive or generic of an applicant’s goods.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1052(e); see TMEP §§1209.03(f),
`1213.03 et seq.(cid:160) Such words need to be freely available for other businesses to market comparable goods or services and should not become the
`proprietary domain of any one party.(cid:160) See Dena Corp. v. Belvedere Int’l, Inc., 950 F.2d 1555, 1560, 21 USPQ2d 1047, 1051 (Fed. Cir. 1991); In
`re Aug. Storck KG, 218 USPQ 823, 825 (TTAB 1983).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant does not provide the required disclaimer, the USPTO may refuse to register the entire mark.(cid:160) See In re Stereotaxis Inc., 429 F.3d
`1039, 1041, 77 USPQ2d 1087, 1089 (Fed. Cir. 2005); TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may submit the following standardized format for a disclaimer:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SCREEN” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) All relevant e-
`mail communications will be placed in the official application record; however, an e-mail communication will not be accepted as a response to
`this Office action and will not extend the deadline for filing a proper response.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.191; TMEP §§304.01-.02, 709.04-.05.(cid:160) Further,
`although the trademark examining attorney may provide additional explanation pertaining to the requirement in this Office action, the trademark
`examining attorney may not provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights. (cid:160) See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.
