Pursuant to Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d), the Examining Attorney has refused registration of the subject mark based on a likelihood of confusion with the Registration No. 2,226,381 for the mark NETADVANTAGE covering "computer hardware to be used with a local area network (LAN) to enhance network's printing capabilities and allow access to LAN either locally or remotely through a public telephone network" in International Class 9, in the name of Protec Microsystems Inc. Applicant notes that the cited registration was cancelled on September 26, 2005 for failure to file the requisite Declarations of Use and Incontestability under Sections 8 and 15. Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests that this registration be removed as a barrier to the registration of the NETADVANTAGE mark. |
