OFFICE ACTION

 

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, WE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF OUR MAILING OR E-MAILING DATE. 

 

 

Serial Number  76/506238

 

The 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. Section 1052(d).  TMEP section 1105.01. The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.

 

2(e)(4) - MARK IS PRIMARILY MERELY A SURNAME

 

The examining attorney refuses registration on the Principal Register because the mark is primarily merely a surname. Trademark Act Section 2(e)(4), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(4); TMEP §1211.  The examining attorney must consider the primary significance of the mark to the purchasing public to determine whether a term is primarily merely a surname.  In re Kahan & Weisz Jewelry Mfg. Corp., 508 F.2d 831, 184 USPQ 421 (C.C.P.A. 1975).  Please see the attached evidence from LEXISNEXIS® below, establishing the surname significance of the mark.  TMEP §§1211 et seq.
