`
`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) A RESPONSE
`TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE TRADEMARK ELECTRONIC APPLICATION SYSTEM (TEAS) MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE
`MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME OF THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPONSE PERIOD.
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 1/24/2017
`
`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’S DATABASE OF MARKS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he 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).
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`EFUSAL TO REGISTER – PROPOSED MARK IS MERELY DESCRIPTIVE
`
`(cid:160)

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

`

`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a purpose or use of applicant’s goods and/or 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)T
`
`he proposed mark is FLAG MAPPING for goods and services related to projection mapping.(cid:160) Applicant’s goods and services are used for
`projection mapping on flags.(cid:160) See attached website images.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, FLAG MAPPING merely describes a purpose or use of applicant’s goods and services and is accordingly refused registration on the
`principal register.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of an applicant’s goods
`and/or services.(cid:160) TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re TriVita, Inc., 783 F.3d 872, 874, 114 USPQ2d 1574, 1575 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (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)(cid:160)
`
`The determination of whether a mark is merely descriptive is made in relation to an applicant’s goods and/or 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)(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).(cid:160) The question is not whether someone presented only with the mark could guess what the goods
`and/or services are, but “whether someone who knows what the goods and[/or] services are will understand the mark to convey information
`about them.” (cid:160) 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).
`
`(cid:160)“
`
`A mark may be merely descriptive even if it does not describe the ‘full scope and extent’ of the applicant’s goods or services.” (cid:160) In re
`Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (citing In re Dial-A-Mattress Operating Corp., 240
`F.3d 1341, 1346, 57 USPQ2d 1807, 1812 (Fed. Cir. 2001)); TMEP §1209.01(b).(cid:160) It is enough if a mark describes only one significant function,
`attribute, or property.(cid:160) 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 In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d at 1173, 71 USPQ2d at 1371.
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`escriptiveness is considered in relation to the relevant goods and/or services.(cid:160) DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d
`1247, 1254, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1757 (Fed. Cir. 2012).(cid:160) “That a term may have other meanings in different contexts is not controlling.” (cid:160) In re
`Franklin Cnty. Historical Soc’y , 104 USPQ2d 1085, 1087 (TTAB 2012) (citing In re Bright-Crest, Ltd., 204 USPQ 591, 593 (TTAB 1979));
`TMEP §1209.03(e).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`DVISORY REGARDING SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough an amendment to the Supplemental Register would normally be an appropriate response to this refusal, such a response is not
`appropriate in the present case.(cid:160) The instant application was filed under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and is not eligible for registration on the
`Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use meeting the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been timely filed.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`§2.47(d); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant files an acceptable allegation of use and also amends to the Supplemental Register, the effective filing date of the application will be
`the date on which applicant met the minimum filing requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(c) for the amendment to allege use.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.75(b);
`TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.(cid:160) In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the USPTO records for
`conflicting marks based on the later application filing date.(cid:160) TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`DENTIFICATION OF GOODS/SERVICES MUST BE AMENDED
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not sufficiently indicate the specific goods/services.(cid:160)
`
`See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.(cid:160) Applicant may substitute the following wording, if accurate:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`CLASS 9: Digital projectors; Liquid crystal display projectors; digital micro mirror projector; multimedia projectors; stands for
`digital projectors; projection screens; apparatus for broadcasting,
`recording,
`transmission or

`software(cid:160)
`is used for projectors, i.e. operating projectors]; computer programs for use in projection mapping; control system for the
`
`

`

`management and operation of projectors, comprising computer, software, video control equipment and display screen
`
`CLASS 42: Providing temporary use of on-line non-downloadable cloud computing software for digital projectors, for organizing and
`viewing digital images and photographs and projection mapping; Design, development and maintenance of computer software related to
`digital projectors, for organizing and viewing digital images and photographs and projection mapping; Technological advice relating to
`computers, namely, computer consulting services; engineering consulting in the field of industrial machines
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services
`beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.(cid:160) Generally, any deleted goods
`and/or services may not later be reinserted.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`or assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
`Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.(cid:160) See TMEP §1402.04.
`
`(cid:160)P
