`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
`
`Registration is Refused: Likelihood of Confusion
`
`SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration Nos. 5168185 for the
`stylized mark ARC, 3125659 for the stylized mark ARC and design, 3352915 for the standard character mark MY ARC, 3245853 for the
`standard character mark ARC MARKETPLACE, and 3765901 for the standard character mark ARC.  Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`§1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.  See the attached registrations.
`
`Trademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that is so similar to a registered mark that it is likely consumers would be
`confused, mistaken, or deceived as to the commercial source of the goods and/or services of the parties.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).  Likelihood of
`confusion is determined 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) (called the “ du Pont factors”).   In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d 1315, 1322, 123 USPQ2d 1744, 1747
`(Fed. Cir. 2017).  Only those factors that are “relevant and of record” need be considered.   M2 Software, Inc. v. M2 Commc’ns, Inc. , 450
`F.3d 1378, 1382, 78 USPQ2d 1944, 1947 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (citing Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d 1238, 1241, 73 USPQ2d
`
`1350, 1353 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); see In re Inn at St. John’s, LLC , 126 USPQ2d 1742, 1744 (TTAB 2018).  
`
`Although not all du Pont factors may be relevant, there are generally two key considerations in any likelihood of confusion analysis:  (1) the
`similarities between the compared marks and (2) the relatedness of the compared goods and/or services.  See 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));
`Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard Paper Co., 544 F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (C.C.P.A. 1976) (“The fundamental inquiry mandated
`by [Section] 2(d) goes to the cumulative effect of differences in the essential characteristics of the goods [or services] and differences in the
`marks.”); TMEP §1207.01.
`
`Comparison of the Marks
`
`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 Inn at St. John’s, LLC , 126 USPQ2d
`1742, 1746 (TTAB 2018) (citing In re Davia, 110 USPQ2d 1810, 1812 (TTAB 2014)); TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`In this case, the applied-for mark is ARC in standard character form.  The marks in the cited registrations are ARC in standard character form,
`ARC in stylized form, ARC in stylized form with a circular design, ARC MARKETPLACE in standard character form, and MY ARC in
`standard character form.  Stylization of one of the marks at issue will not avoid likelihood of confusion.  A mark in typed or standard characters
`may be displayed in any lettering style; the rights reside in the wording or other literal element and not in any particular display or rendition.  See
`In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1363, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1909 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1348, 94 USPQ2d
`1257, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2010); 37 C.F.R. §2.52(a); TMEP §1207.01(c)(iii).  Thus, a mark presented in stylized characters and/or with a design
`element generally will not avoid likelihood of confusion with a mark in typed or standard characters because the word portion could be presented
`in the same manner of display.  See, e.g., In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d at 1363, 101 USPQ2d at 1909; Squirtco v. Tomy Corp., 697 F.2d 1038,
`1041, 216 USPQ 937, 939 (Fed. Cir. 1983) (stating that “the argument concerning a difference in type style is not viable where one party asserts
`rights in no particular display”).
`
`Further, when evaluating a composite mark consisting of words and a design, the word portion is normally accorded greater weight because it is
`likely to make a greater impression upon purchasers, be remembered by them, and be used by them to refer to or request the goods and/or
`services.  In re Aquitaine Wine USA, LLC, 126 USPQ2d 1181, 1184 (TTAB 2018) (citing In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362, 101 USPQ2d
`1905, 1908 (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)).
`
`With respect to U.S. Registration No. 3765901, applicant’s mark is ARC in standard character form and registrant’s mark is ARC in standard
`character form.  These marks are identical in appearance, sound, and meaning, “and have the potential to be used . . . in exactly the same
`manner.”   In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 116 USPQ2d 1406, 1411 (TTAB 2015), aff’d, 866 F.3d 1315, 123 USPQ2d 1744 (Fed. Cir. 2017). 
`Additionally, because they are identical, these marks are likely to engender the same connotation and overall commercial impression when
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`considered in connection with applicant’s and registrant’s respective goods and/or services.
`
`  Id.
`
`Therefore, the marks are confusingly similar.
`
`With respect to the remaining cited registrations, all of the marks share the identical literal element ARC with the entirety of the applied-for mark
`encompassed by the registered marks.  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.
`
`Further, marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where similar terms or phrases or similar parts of terms or phrases appear in the
`compared marks and create a similar overall commercial impression.  See Crocker Nat’l Bank v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce , 228
`USPQ 689, 690-91 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490,
`1495, 1 USPQ2d 1813, 1817 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (finding COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH confusingly similar); In re Corning Glass Works,
`229 USPQ 65, 66 (TTAB 1985) (finding CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS confusingly similar); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558,
`560 (TTAB 1983) (finding MILTRON and MILLTRONICS confusingly similar); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii).
`
`Accordingly, the marks are confusingly similar.
`
`            
`
`Comparison of the Services
`
`The 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).
`
`Determining likelihood of confusion is based on the description of the goods and/or services stated in the application and registration at issue, not
`on extrinsic evidence of actual use.  See In re Detroit Athletic Co., 903 F.3d 1297, 1307, 128 USPQ2d 1047, 1052 (Fed. Cir. 2018) (citing In re
`
`i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d 1315, 1325, 123 USPQ2d 1744, 1749 (Fed. Cir. 2017)).   
`
`In this case, the services identified in the application are:
`
`International Class 035: Advertising services provided on an interactive map of an aircraft inflight entertainment system, namely,
`providing business information concerning the goods and services of others via local and global computer networks; dissemination of
`advertising materials, and compilation of advertisements for use as web pages on the Internet; dissemination of advertisements and
`commercial announcements for others via internet and portable communications apparatus on an interactive map; advertising services,
`namely, designing and creating for others online interactive media advertisements; advertising and promotional services for others,
`namely, placing advertisements and promotional displays in electronic sites accessed via computer networks; advertising and promotional
`services for others, namely, placing advertisements and promotional displays for others in electronic sites accessed via computer
`networks; dissemination of advertising matter, namely, providing advertising and graphic, multi-media and interactive images through
`computer networks for use by consumers; placing advertisements and promotional displays in electronic sites accessed via computer
`networks; providing spaces on websites on the Internet for advertising goods and services; advertisement for others on the internet;
`providing advertising space by electronic means and global computer information networks.
`
`The services identified in U.S. Registration No. 3125659 are:
`
`International Class 035: Advertising agency services in all media.
`
`The relevant services identified in U.S. Registration Nos. 3765901, 5168185, 3352915, and 3245853 are:
`
`International Class 035:  electronic commerce services, namely, providing information on travel-related goods and services via
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`telecommunications networks for advertising and sales purposes for use by authorized persons/entities in the travel industry
`
`These services are highly similar and related.
`
`With respect to U.S. Registration No. 3125659, the registration uses broad wording to describe registrant’s advertising services, which
`presumably encompasses all services of the type described, including applicant’s more narrow identification of specific advertising services
`offered on various media.  See, e.g., In re Solid State Design Inc., 125 USPQ2d 1409, 1412-15 (TTAB 2018); Sw. Mgmt., Inc. v. Ocinomled, Ltd.,
`115 USPQ2d 1007, 1025 (TTAB 2015).  Thus, applicant’s and registrant’s services are legally identical.
`  See, e.g., In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 127
`USPQ2d 1627, 1629 (TTAB 2018) (citing Tuxedo Monopoly, Inc. v.Gen. Mills Fun Grp., Inc., 648 F.2d 1335, 1336, 209 USPQ 986, 988
`(C.C.P.A. 1981); Inter IKEA Sys. B.V. v. Akea, LLC, 110 USPQ2d 1734, 1745 (TTAB 2014); Baseball Am. Inc. v. Powerplay Sports Ltd., 71
`USPQ2d 1844, 1847 n.9 (TTAB 2004)).
`
`With respect to the remaining registrations, the application uses broad wording to describe applicant’s advertising services, such as
`“ advertisement for others on the internet,” which presumably encompasses all services of the type described, including registrant’s more narrow
`identification of “ electronic commerce services, namely, providing information on travel-related goods and services via telecommunications
`networks for advertising and sales purposes for use by authorized persons/entities in the travel industry.”   See, e.g., In re Solid State Design Inc.,
`125 USPQ2d 1409, 1412-15 (TTAB 2018); Sw. Mgmt., Inc. v. Ocinomled, Ltd., 115 USPQ2d 1007, 1025 (TTAB 2015).  Thus, applicant’s and
`registrant’s services are legally identical.   See, e.g., In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 127 USPQ2d 1627, 1629 (TTAB 2018) (citing Tuxedo Monopoly,
`Inc. v.Gen. Mills Fun Grp., Inc., 648 F.2d 1335, 1336, 209 USPQ 986, 988 (C.C.P.A. 1981); Inter IKEA Sys. B.V. v. Akea, LLC, 110 USPQ2d
`1734, 1745 (TTAB 2014); Baseball Am. Inc. v. Powerplay Sports Ltd., 71 USPQ2d 1844, 1847 n.9 (TTAB 2004)).
`
`Additionally, the services of the parties have no restrictions as to nature, type, channels of trade, or classes of purchasers and are “presumed to
`travel in the same channels of trade to the same class of purchasers.”   In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed.
`Cir. 2012) (quoting Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1268, 62 USPQ2d 1001, 1005 (Fed. Cir. 2002)).  Thus,
`applicant’s and registrant’s goods and/or services are related.
`
`Further, the compared services need not be identical or even competitive to find a likelihood of confusion.  See On-line Careline Inc. v. Am.
`Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000); Recot, Inc. v. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1329, 54 USPQ2d 1894, 1898
`(Fed. Cir. 2000); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).  They need only be “related in some manner and/or if the circumstances surrounding their marketing are
`such that they could give rise to the mistaken belief that [the goods and/or services] emanate from the same source.”   Coach Servs., Inc. v.
`Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1369, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1722 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting 7-Eleven Inc. v. Wechsler, 83 USPQ2d 1715,
`1724 (TTAB 2007)); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).
`
`The attached Internet evidence, consisting of screenshots from a representative sampling of third party websites in the advertising industry,
`establishes that the same entity commonly provides the relevant services and markets the services under the same mark.  See attached screenshots
`from IMM-international.com, GlobalEagle.com, RidgeMarketing.com, and In-Flightmedia.com.  This evidence also shows that the relevant
`services are sold or provided through the same trade channels and used by the same classes of consumers in the same fields of use and that the
`services are similar or complementary in terms of purpose or function.  Thus, applicant’s and registrant’s services are considered related for
`likelihood of confusion purposes.  See, e.g., In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1202-04 (TTAB 2009); In re Toshiba Med. Sys.
`Corp., 91 USPQ2d 1266, 1268-69, 1271-72 (TTAB 2009).
`
`The services are similar and related.  Likelihood of confusion exists, and registration is thus refused.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in
`support of registration.

`

`

`Responses to Office actions must be properly signed.   See 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(b), 2.193(e)(2); TMEP §§712, 712.01.  If an applicant is not
`represented by an attorney, the response must be signed by the individual applicant or someone with legal authority to bind a juristic applicant
`(e.g., a corporate officer or general partner).  See 37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §§611.03(b), 611.06(b)-(h), 712.01.  In the case of joint
`
`applicants, all must sign.  37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §611.06(a).  
`
`If an applicant is represented by an attorney authorized to practice before the USPTO, the attorney must sign the response.  37 C.F.R.
`§2.193(e)(2)(i); TMEP §§611.03(b), 712.01.  The only attorneys who may sign responses and otherwise practice before the USPTO in trademark
`matters are (1) attorneys in good standing with a bar of the highest court of any U.S. state, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, and U.S.
`commonwealths/territories; and (2) certain Canadian agents and/or attorneys.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.17(e), 11.14(a), (c); TMEP §602.  If an
`applicant changes attorneys, the newly retained attorney may not sign responses until the applicant files a new power and/or revocation of
`attorney.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.18(a)(7); TMEP §604.03.
`
`For applications with multiple individual applicants or joint applicants, all must sign the response.  37 C.F.R. §2.193(e)(2)(ii); TMEP §611.06(a).
`
`TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
`REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE:  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.  See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b);
`TMEP §§819, 820.  TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $125
`per class of goods and/or services.  37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04.  However, in certain situations, TEAS
`Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring
`
`this additional fee.   
`
`Please call or email the assigned trademark examining attorney with questions about this Office action.  Although the trademark examining
`attorney cannot provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights, the trademark examining attorney can provide applicant with
`additional explanation about the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in this Office action.  See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.  Although the USPTO does
`not accept emails as responses to Office actions, emails can be used for informal communications and will be included in the application record.
