`of data, data mining, data query, data analysis and visualizing data; software as a service (SAAS) services for use in image recognition, sound
`recognition, voice recognition, internet security, transmission of data, data mining, data query, data analysis and visualizing data” because of a
`likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 5337365.  Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01
`et seq.  See the attached registration.
`
`Trademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered mark that it is likely a consumer would be
`confused, mistaken, or deceived as to the source of the goods and services of the applicant and registrant.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).  Determining
`likelihood of confusion is made on a case-by-case basis by applying the factors set forth in In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357,
`1361, 177 USPQ 563, 567 (C.C.P.A. 1973).  In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d 1315, 1322, 123 USPQ2d 1744, 1747 (Fed. Cir. 2017).  However,
`“[n]ot all of the [ du Pont] factors are relevant to every case, and only factors of significance to the particular mark need be considered.”   Coach
`Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1366, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1719 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601. F.3d
`1342, 1346, 94 USPQ2d 1257, 1259 (Fed. Cir 2010)).  The USPTO may focus its analysis “on dispositive factors, such as similarity of the marks
`and relatedness of the goods [and/or services].”   In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d at 1322, 123 USPQ2d at 1747 (quoting Herbko Int’l, Inc. v.
`
`Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164-65, 64 USPQ2d 1375, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2002)); see TMEP §1207.01.  
`
`Registrant owns the mark CONNECTED SOLUTIONS GROUP. Applicant has proposed the mark CONNECTED SOLUTIONS and design.
`
`Marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial impression.  Stone Lion Capital
`Partners, LP v. Lion Capital LLP, 746 F.3d 1317, 1321, 110 USPQ2d 1157, 1160 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (quoting Palm Bay Imps., Inc. v. Veuve
`Clicquot Ponsardin Maison Fondee En 1772, 396 F.3d 1369, 1371, 73 USPQ2d 1689, 1691 (Fed. Cir. 2005)); TMEP §1207.01(b)-(b)(v). 
`“Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find the marks confusingly similar.”   In re Davia, 110 USPQ2d 1810, 1812 (TTAB
`2014) (citing In re 1st USA Realty Prof’ls, Inc., 84 USPQ2d 1581, 1586 (TTAB 2007)); In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB
`1988)); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`When evaluating a composite mark containing both words and designs, the word portion is more likely to indicate the origin of the goods and
`services because it is that portion of the mark that consumers use when referring to or requesting the goods and services.  Bond v. Taylor, 119
`USPQ2d 1049, 1055 (TTAB 2016) (citing In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908, 1911 (Fed. Cir. 2012)); TMEP
`§1207.01(c)(ii).  Thus, although marks must be compared in their entireties, the word portion is often considered the dominant feature and is
`accorded greater weight in determining whether marks are confusingly similar, even where the word portion has been disclaimed.  In re Viterra
`Inc., 671 F.3d at 1366-67, 101 USPQ2d at 1911 (citing Giant Food, Inc. v. Nation’s Foodservice, Inc., 710 F.2d 1565, 1570-71, 218 USPQ2d
`
`390, 395 (Fed. Cir. 1983)).  
`
`Incorporating the entirety of one mark within another does not obviate the similarity between the compared marks, as in the present case, nor
`does it overcome a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d).  See Wella Corp. v. Cal. Concept Corp., 558 F.2d 1019, 1022, 194 USPQ 419, 422
`(C.C.P.A. 1977) (finding CALIFORNIA CONCEPT and surfer design and CONCEPT confusingly similar); Coca-Cola Bottling Co. v. Jos. E.
`Seagram & Sons, Inc., 526 F.2d 556, 557, 188 USPQ 105, 106 (C.C.P.A. 1975) (finding BENGAL LANCER and design and BENGAL
`confusingly similar); In re Integrated Embedded, 120 USPQ2d 1504, 1513 (TTAB 2016) (finding BARR GROUP and BARR confusingly
`similar); In re Mr. Recipe, LLC, 118 USPQ2d 1084, 1090 (TTAB 2016) (finding JAWS DEVOUR YOUR HUNGER and JAWS confusingly
`similar); TMEP §1207.01(b)(iii).  In the present case, the marks are identical in part.
`
`The marks create a highly similar commercial impression.
`
`Registrant uses the mark for “telecommunication base stations; telecommunication cables; telecommunication exchangers; telecommunication
`switches; telecommunications cables; telecommunications equipment, namely, fiber-optic transceivers, fiber optic repeaters, converters and
`optimizers, wave division multiplexers, free-space optics transmission systems, switches including ethernet switches and routers, fiber-to-the-

`
`The goods and services are compared to determine whether they are similar, commercially related, or travel in the same trade channels.  See
`Coach Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1369-71, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1722-23 (Fed. Cir. 2012); Herbko Int’l, Inc. v. Kappa
`Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1165, 64 USPQ2d 1375, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2002); TMEP §§1207.01, 1207.01(a)(vi).
`
`Applicant and registrant both offer microphones, telephone equipment, storage devices, and electrical equipment. Applicant’s other goods are
`related to registrant’s goods because they may be used for telecommunications purposes or in connection with registrant’s telecommunications
`and electrical goods. Applicant’s online software services encompass those used for computer telephony and telecommunications.
`
`The goods are identical in part and the services otherwise closely related.
`
`When confronted with identical goods and closely related services bearing highly similar marks, a consumer is likely to have the mistaken belief
`that the goods and services originate from the same source. Because this likelihood of confusion exists, registration as to the specified goods and
`services must be refused.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`  
`

`

`PRIOR PENDING APPLICATION
`
`The filing dates of pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 87549837, 86978489, and 86705652   precede applicant’s filing date.  See attached
`referenced applications.  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).  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP
`§§1208 et seq.  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.
`
`In 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.  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.
`
`However, applicant must address the following issues.
`
`IDENTIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES
`
`The wording in the identification of goods and services must be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods and services in other
`
`international classes.  See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.  
`
`In Class 7, applicant must specify the field of use for its food cutting and chopping machines.
`
`In Class 9, applicant must list particular telecommunication apparatus for video teleconferencing.
`
`Throughout the identification, applicant must replace the indefinite symbol “/” with commas or the wording “and.” Commas, semicolons, and
`apostrophes are the only punctuation that should be used in an identification of goods and/or services.  TMEP §1402.01(a).
`
`Applicant must further specify the type of multi-function printers and signaling lamps.
`
`The identification for “POS (point of sales) systems” is indefinite and must be clarified because the wording does not make clear the nature of
`the specific systems.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1401.05(d).  Applicant must clarify the goods by listing the system’s parts or
`components, using common generic terms and referencing the primary parts or components of the system first.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP
`§§1401.05(d), 1402.01, 1402.03(a).  Additionally, this wording should be classified in the same international class as the primary parts or
`
`components of the system.  See TMEP §1401.05(d).  
`
`In Class 11, applicant must clarify the nature of its lighting apparatus in the wording “lighting apparatus and installations.”
`
`Applicant must also clarify the nature of its stage lighting apparatus, germicidal lamps, cycle lights, ventilating fans, electric cookers, electric
`cooling pans, ice makers, electric cool boxes, electric heating apparatus, and water boilers.
`
`Applicant has classified “motion sensitive security lights” in International Class 11; however, the proper classification is International Class 9.  
`Therefore, applicant may respond by (1) reclassifying these goods in the proper international class or (2) deleting “motion sensitive security
`
`lights” from the application.   See 37 C.F.R. §§2.86(a), 6.1; TMEP §§1403.02 et seq.  
`
`In Class 35, applicant must clarify the nature of its energy management and monitoring services and the field of its information concerning
`commercial sales.
`
`Applicant has classified “research and development of new products for others” in International Class 35; however, the proper classification is
`International Class 42.  Therefore, applicant may respond by (1) reclassifying these services in the proper international class or (2) deleting
`
`“motion sensitive security lights” from the application.   See 37 C.F.R. §§2.86(a), 6.1; TMEP §§1403.02 et seq.  
`
`The identification of services in Class 37 is acceptable as written.
`
`In Class 38, applicant must clarify the nature of its data transmission and telecommunication services and technical consultation in the field of
`data communications and telecommunications.
`
`In Class 42, applicant must clarify the nature of its monitoring of computer systems by remote access; technical support services relating to
`computer software, telecommunications and the Internet; maintenance of computer systems for energy management and monitoring; software as
`
` 
` 
`  
`  
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`a service (SAAS) services for energy management and monitoring; conducting surveys on energy consumption and providing information
`thereof; consultancy and information in the field of energy saving and efficiency; testing and analysis of network connection; software as a
`service (SAAS) services for use in image recognition, sound recognition, voice recognition, internet security, transmission of data, data mining,
`data query, data analysis and visualizing data; and providing technical and customer support.
