`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: 4/23/2015
`
`TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
`REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE:(cid:160) Applicants who filed their application
`online using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to
`Office actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address;
`and (3) agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b),
`2.23(b); TMEP §§819, 820.(cid:160) TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of
`$50 per international class of goods and/or services.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04.(cid:160) However, in certain
`situations, TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone without
`
`incurring this additional fee.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`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.
`
`Summary of Issues that Applicant Must Address
`
`(1)(cid:160) Refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1) – Merely Descriptive Mark; and
`(2)(cid:160) Refusal under Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45 – Unacceptable Specimen
`
`No Conflicting Marks
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered or pending mark which would bar registration under
`Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02.
`
`(cid:160)H
`
`owever, the applicant must respond to the following refusals.
`Refusal - Merely Descriptive
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature and/or characteristic of applicant’s services. (cid:160) Trademark Act
`Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §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 an applicant’s services. (cid:160)
`TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., 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) (citing Estate of P.D. Beckwith, Inc. v. Comm’r of Patents , 252 U.S. 538, 543 (1920)).(cid:160)
`Furthermore, the determination of whether a mark is merely descriptive is made in relation to an applicant’s services, not in the abstract. (cid:160)
`DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1254, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1757 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re The Chamber of
`Commerce of the U.S., 675 F.3d 1297, 1300, 102 USPQ2d 1217, 1219 (Fed. Cir. 2012); TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re Polo Int’l Inc. , 51
`USPQ2d 1061, 1062-63 (TTAB 1999) (finding DOC in DOC-CONTROL would refer to the “documents” managed by applicant’s software
`rather than the term “doctor” shown in a dictionary definition); In re Digital Research Inc., 4 USPQ2d 1242, 1243-44 (TTAB 1987) (finding
`CONCURRENT PC-DOS and CONCURRENT DOS merely descriptive of “computer programs recorded on disk” where the 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 [or service] is from consideration of the mark alone is not the test.” (cid:160) In re Am. Greetings
`Corp., 226 USPQ 365, 366 (TTAB 1985).
`Rather, the question is “whether someone who knows what the goods and[/or] services are will understand the mark to convey information about
`them.” DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1254, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1757 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting In re
`Tower Tech, Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1314, 1316-17 (TTAB 2002)); In re Franklin Cnty. Historical Soc’y , 104 USPQ2d 1085, 1087 (TTAB 2012).
`In this case, the proposed mark FLIGHTLINK merely describes meteorological and weather services provided to various airplanes and airline
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`fleets connected to a shared voice and data communications system for safe travel, airspace management and accurate real-time aviation
`monitoring, analysis and reporting.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); TMEP §§1209 et seq.
`The terms “Flight” and “Link” mean “a trip made by or in an airplane or spacecraft” and/or “a group of similar beings or objects flying
`through the air together” and “a connecting element or factor”, “a unit in a communication system” and/or “an identifier attached to an element
`(as an index term) in a system in order to indicate or permit connection with other similarly identified elements”. See the attached dictionary
`definitions.
`This refusal is further supported by the specimen of record indicating that “ connected aircraft benefit from a wide range of aviation applications
`that enhance the operations of partnering airlines, including automatic, global real-time aircraft position reports” and “[t]he shared satellite
`datalink provides carriers with improved air-ground and ground-air communications, including both voice & text during each flight.” (cid:160)
`[Emphasis added].
`In addition, applicant’s attention is respectfully directed to the attached sample third-party registrations and approved application demonstrating
`the descriptive significance of the words “FLIGHT”, “LINK” and variants thereof in relation to meteorological/weather-related goods and
`services.(cid:160) Third-party registrations featuring services the same as or similar to applicant’s 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).
`Accordingly, when the term FLIGHTLINK is applied to meteorological and weather services rendered to airplanes and airlines connected to
`shared voice and data communications systems, consumers will immediately recognize and perceive the nature of the services.
`Finally, if the individual components of a mark retain their descriptive meaning in relation to the services, the combination results in a
`composite mark that is itself descriptive and not registrable. In re Phoseon Tech., Inc., 103 USPQ2d 1822, 1823 (TTAB 2012); TMEP
`§1209.03(d); see, e.g., 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”); In
`re Putnam Publ’g Co., 39 USPQ2d 2021, 2022 (TTAB 1996) (holding FOOD & BEVERAGE ON-LINE merely descriptive of “a news and
`information service updated daily for the food processing industry, contained in a database”).
`In this case, the combination of the descriptive words FLIGHT and LINK creates no incongruity or unique commercial impression apart from
`that of the previously-stated descriptive connotation, and no imagination is required to understand the nature of the services. Accordingly, the
`mark is merely descriptive. TMEP §1209.03(d); In re Copytele, Inc., 31 USPQ2d 1540, 1542 (TTAB 1994); In re Associated Theatre Clubs, 9
`USPQ2d at 1662.
`Based on the foregoing remarks, registration must be refused under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act.
`Amendment to Supplemental Register Suggested
`The applied-for mark has been refused registration on the Principal Register. Applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and
`arguments in support of registration and/or by amending the application to seek registration on the Supplemental Register. See 15 U.S.C. §1091;
`37 C.F.R. §§2.47, 2.75(a); TMEP §§801.02(b), 816. Amending to the Supplemental Register does not preclude applicant from submitting
`evidence and arguments against the refusal(s). TMEP §816.04.
`Refusal –Specimen Does Not Show Mark With Services
`Registration is also refused because the specimen does not show the applied-for mark in use in commerce in connection with any of the services
`specified in International Class 42 in the application.(cid:160) Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv),
`
`2.56(a); In re Chengdu AOBI Info. Tech. Co., 111 USPQ2d 2080, 2081-82 (TTAB 2011); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a), 1301.04(d), (g)(i).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Specifically, the “ brochure” specimen merely shows the applied-for mark used to identify a technological weather system comprised of, among
`other things, a “patented device [that] collects and transmits weather data” rather than showing the mark used in the sale or advertising of the
`identified services of “meteorological forecasting”, “providing meteorological information”, “providing weather information”, “weather
`forecasting”, “weather information services” and “weather reporting” .(cid:160) Therefore, consumers will not perceive the proposed mark as an
`indication of source for these services.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`his refusal is supported by the specimen of record indicating that “ FLIGHTLINK is a complete end-to-end solution that includes multi-
`function atmospheric and GPS sensors, dedicated two-way satellite communication system, and ground-based data management and quality
`assurance” while also referencing “FLIGHTLINK equipped aircraft” and a FLIGHTLINK “ system”. (cid:160) [Emphasis added].
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`n application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) must include a specimen showing the applied-for mark in use in commerce for each
`
`international class of services identified in the application.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Examples of specimens for services include advertising and marketing materials, brochures, photographs of business signage and billboards, and
`webpages that show the mark used in the actual sale, rendering, or advertising of the services.(cid:160) See TMEP §1301.04(a), (h)(iv)(C).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may respond to this refusal by satisfying one of the following for each applicable international class:
`
`(1) Submit a different specimen (a verified “substitute” specimen ) that (a) was in actual use in commerce at least as early as the filing
`date of the application and (b) shows the mark in actual use in commerce for the services identified in the application.
`
`(cid:160)
`

`

`(2) Amend the filing basis to intent to use under Section 1(b), for which no specimen is required.(cid:160) This option will later necessitate
`additional fee(s) and filing requirements such as providing a specimen.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or an overview of both response options referenced above and instructions on how to satisfy either option online using the Trademark Electronic
`Application System (TEAS) form, please go to http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/law/specimen.jsp.
`Regarding the second option, applicant is respectfully advised that such an amendment would preclude applicant from registering its mark on
`the Supplemental Register because a mark is not eligible for registration on the Supplemental Register until it is used in commerce, as required
`by Trademark Act Section 23.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1091(a); 37 C.F.R. §2.47(a).
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusals by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.
`
`Miscellaneous
`
`(cid:160)I

`f applicant has questions about its application or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned trademark
`examining attorney directly at the number below.
