`

`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: 1/16/2015
`
`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)T
`
`he requirement(s) apply to all of the goods and/or services listed in the application, unless otherwise stated.
`
`SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no similar registered
`marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) However, a mark in a prior-filed
`pending application may present a bar to registration of applicant’s mark.
`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES that applicant must address:
`
`Prior filed applications.
`Description.
`Disclaimer.
`Ownership of prior registrations.
`Information.
`Identification.
`
`PRIOR-FILED APPLICATION(S)
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he filing dates of pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 86286191, 86416734, and 86416817 precede applicant’s filing date.(cid:160) See attached
`referenced applications.(cid:160) If one or more of the marks in the referenced applications register, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under
`Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered mark(s).(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP
`§§1208 et seq.(cid:160) Therefore, upon receipt of applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final
`disposition of the earlier-filed referenced applications.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict
`between applicant’s mark and the marks in the referenced applications.(cid:160) Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way
`limits applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
`
`DESCRIPTION OF MARK REQUIRED
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he drawing shows the mark in colors that differ from those specified in the color claim and mark description.(cid:160) Specifically, the drawing shows
`the mark in the colors black, blue, and white; however, the following colors appear in the color claim and mark description:(cid:160) blue.(cid:160) The colors in
`the drawing, color claim, and mark description must all agree.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.52(b)(1); TMEP §§807.07(a) et seq.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n the present case, amending the mark drawing to agree with the color claim and mark description would not be considered a material alteration.(cid:160)
`However, any other amendments to the drawing will not be accepted if such changes would materially alter the mark.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.72; see
`TMEP §§807.07(c), 807.14 et seq.(cid:160)
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)

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

`

`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must submit one of the following:
`
`(1) A substitute color drawing that shows the mark in the colors specified in the color claim and mark description.(cid:160) TMEP §807.07(c).
`
`(2) A corrected color claim and mark description that agrees with the colors shown on the drawing. (cid:160)Generic color names must be used to
`describe the colors in the mark, e.g., magenta, yellow, turquoise.(cid:160) TMEP §807.07(a)(i)-(ii).(cid:160) If black, white, and/or gray are not being
`claimed as a color feature of the mark, applicant must exclude them from the color claim and include in the mark description a statement
`that the colors black, white, and/or gray represent background, outlining, shading, and/or transparent areas and are not part of the mark.(cid:160)
`See TMEP §807.07(d). (cid:160)The following color claim and mark description are suggested:
`
`Color claim:(cid:160) “ The colors black, blue, and white are claimed as a feature of the mark.”
`
`Mark description:(cid:160) “The mark consists of the stylized black numeral and letter 4K, stylized black wording ULTRA HD, and
`the stylized white word ENGINE within a blue parallelogram with rounded corners.”
`
`DISCLAIMER REQUIRED
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant must disclaim the wording “4K” and “ULTRA HD” because it merely describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function,
`feature, purpose, or use of applicant’s goods and/or services, and thus is an unregistrable component of the mark. (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)); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`An applicant may not claim exclusive rights to terms that others may need to use to describe their goods and/or services in the marketplace.(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)(cid:160)
`
`The applicant’s goods are identified as surveillance cameras; image recording apparatus but not including media; image encoding apparatus,
`namely, encoders; rack mount computer servers and storage systems; computer network adapters, switches, routers, hubs and poe midspans;
`computer monitors; computer software for browsing video contents, selecting video clips, and downloading video clips; personal computers;
`computer network bridges; poe switches; image decoding apparatus.(cid:160) The attached dictionary definitions define 4K as “4K resolution” and
`ULTRA HD as “[u] ltra-high-definition television.” (cid:160) Therefore, when considered in relation to the identified goods, the wording 4K and ULTRA
`HD immediately tells the customer that the goods feature and/or are related to 4K ULTRA HD resolution.(cid:160) The attached internet evidence shows
`that the wording at issue has a merely descriptive meaning in the relevant trade or industry and/or as applied to the applicant’s goods. (cid:160) Material
`obtained from the internet is generally accepted as competent evidence.(cid:160) See In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1202-03 (TTAB
`2009) (accepting internet evidence to show relatedness of goods in a likelihood of confusion determination); In re Rodale Inc., 80 USPQ2d 1696,
`1700 (TTAB 2006) (accepting Internet evidence to show genericness); In re White, 80 USPQ2d 1654, 1662 (TTAB 2006) (accepting internet
`evidence to show false suggestion of a connection); In re Joint-Stock Co. “Baik”, 80 USPQ2d 1305, 1308-09 (TTAB 2006) (accepting internet
`evidence to show geographic significance); In re Consol. Specialty Rests. Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1921, 1927-29 (TTAB 2004) (accepting internet
`evidence to show geographic location is well-known for particular goods); In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d 1792, 1793, 1795 (TTAB 2004) (accepting
`internet evidence to show surname significance); In re Fitch IBCA Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1058, 1060-61 (TTAB 2002) (accepting internet evidence to
`
`show descriptiveness); TBMP §1208.03; TMEP §710.01(b).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The attached third party registration(s) also shows that the proposed mark is merely descriptive of the applicant’s goods. (cid:160) Third-party
`registrations featuring goods and/or services the same as or similar to applicant’s goods and/or services are probative evidence on the issue of
`descriptiveness where the relevant word or term is disclaimed, registered under Trademark Act Section 2(f) based on acquired distinctiveness, or
`registered on the Supplemental Register.(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) As such, the wording at issue merely describes the applicant’s goods. (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`If 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, 1040-41, 77 USPQ2d 1087, 1088-89 (Fed. Cir. 2005); TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant will note that a disclaimer of unregistrable matter does not affect the appearance of the mark; that is, a disclaimer does not
`physically remove the 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)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant should submit a disclaimer in the following standardized format:
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “4K” or “ULTRA HD” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)F

`or an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to satisfy this disclaimer requirement online using the Trademark Electronic Application
`System (TEAS) form, please go to http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/law/disclaimer.jsp.
`
`CLAIM OF OWNERSHIP OF REGISTRATION(S)
`
`If applicant owns U.S. Registration Nos. 3747877, 4335118, and others, then applicant must submit for the application record a claim of
`
`ownership of these registrations.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812.(cid:160) See the attached copies of the registrations.(cid:160) See TMEP §812.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant may use the following format to claim ownership of these registrations:
`
`Applicant is the owner of U.S. Registration Nos. 3747877, 4335118, and others.
`
`INFORMATION ABOUT GOODS/SERVICES REQUIRED
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`o permit proper examination of the application, applicant must submit additional information about the goods.(cid:160) An applicant can be required to
`provide more information if it is necessary for proper examination of the application.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§814, 1402.01(e); see In re
`AOP LLC, 107 USPQ2d 1644, 1650-51 (TTAB 2013); In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1919 (TTAB 2008); In re DTI P’ship LLP ,
`67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701-02 (TTAB 2003).(cid:160) The information requested below is necessary to the examination of the application because it will
`
`provide a more in-depth understanding of the mark and/or issue(s) at hand.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Failure to comply with a request for information can be grounds for refusing registration.(cid:160) In re AOP LLC, 107 USPQ2d 1644, 1651 (TTAB
`
`2013); In re DTI P’ship LLP , 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701-02 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §814.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Merely stating that information about the goods or services 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).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant must directly answer the following question(s) and/or provide the information requested:
`
`(cid:160)1
`
`.(cid:160) Do 4K, ULTRA, HD, ULTRA HD, or 4K ULTRA HD have any significance as applied to the goods and/or services other than trademark
`and/or service mark significance?(cid:160) NOTE: the applicant may ignore this question if entering the disclaimer.
`
`(cid:160)2
`
`.(cid:160) Do 4K, ULTRA, HD, ULTRA HD, or 4K ULTRA HD have any significance in the relevant trade or industry other than trademark and/or
`service mark significance?(cid:160) NOTE: the applicant may ignore this question if entering the disclaimer.
`
`(cid:160)3
`
`(cid:160)4
`
`.(cid:160) Does ENGINE have any significance as applied to the goods and/or services other than trademark and/or service mark significance?
`
`.(cid:160) Does ENGINE have any significance in the relevant trade or industry other than trademark and/or service mark significance?
`
`(cid:160)5
`
`.(cid:160) Does the applicant manufacture or offer any of the goods and/or services that appear in the prior pending applicants’ identification of goods
`and/or services?
`
`(cid:160)6
`
`.(cid:160) If available, the applicant will provide a website address at which the goods and/or services are offered and/or the mark is used.(cid:160) If no website
`is available, then the applicant will state this fact for the record.
`
`(cid:160)7
`
`.(cid:160) NOTE:(cid:160) Providing a website address does not obviate this requirement.(cid:160) To 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 AOP LLC, 107 USPQ2d 1644, 1650-51 (TTAB 2013); In
`re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1919 (TTAB 2008); 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)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`8.(cid:160) Will the goods listed as “surveillance cameras; image recording apparatus but not including media; image encoding apparatus, namely,
`encoders; computer monitors; personal computers; and image decoding apparatus” have a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels?
`
`(cid:160)9
`
`.(cid:160) What is meant by the term ENGINE in the proposed mark?
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he use or intended use of the applied-for mark on goods that do not in fact have or exhibit 4K ULTRA HD will be deceptive.(cid:160) See TMEP
`§1203.02-.02(b).(cid:160) To avoid a deceptiveness refusal, applicant must amend the identification to indicate that the goods and/or services possess
`this relevant feature or characteristic.(cid:160) See TMEP §§1203.02(e)(ii), (f)(i), 1402.05 et seq.(cid:160) Merely amending the identification to exclude goods
`or services with the named feature or characteristic will not avoid a deceptiveness refusal.(cid:160) TMEP §1203.02(f)(i).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must amend the identification to the following, if accurate [changes in bold text]:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Surveillance cameras with a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels; image recording apparatus with a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels but
`not including media; image encoding apparatus with a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels, namely, encoders; rack mount computer servers
`and storage systems; computer network adapters, switches, routers, hubs and power-over-ethernet (PoE) midspans; computer monitors with a
`horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels; computer software for browsing video contents, selecting video clips, and downloading video clips;
`personal computers with a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels; computer network bridges; power-over-ethernet (PoE) switches; image
`decoding apparatus with a horizontal resolution of 4,000 pixels.
