DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK (and Color Location, if applicable) |
The mark consists of product packaging for applicant's goods, namely, the literal and design elements of labels on bottles featuring applicant's goods. In the center of the bottle are the vertically positioned non-latin characters that transliterate to "ALISHAN WULONG CHA". Tothe right, also presented vertically, are the non-latin characters that transliterate to "CHA LIWANG". Immediately below this vertical wording is tall, rectangular design containing Chinese characters. At the bottom of the mark appears a wide cup or bowl with a leaf and a droplet. The bottle shape is only shown for positioning and is not claimed as a feature of the mark. |

Likelihood of Confusion The Examining Attorney has cited a prior registration containing the term ALISHAN. Applicant advises that Alishan is a geographic very area well known for the production of high-quality oolong tea. Attached hereto is information about Alishan, or Ali Mountain, and oolong tea. ALISHAN is disclaimed in the accompanying amendments. As such the citation of the prior registration would be akin to citing a prior registration for wine that also contained the term NAPA or BORDEAUX in the title. |
