OFFICE ACTION
TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/11/2013
The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
In this case, the following factors are the most relevant: similarity of the marks, similarity and nature of the goods and/or services, and similarity of the trade channels of the goods and/or services. See In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1361-62, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc., 59 USPQ2d 1593, 1595-96 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
Comparison of the Marks
The applicant’s mark is REMINGTON and the registered mark is REMINGTON. The marks are identical, and thus are likely to create the same commercial impression in the minds of consumers.
Comparison of the Services
Here, the services of both parties are closely related and identical in part, as both parties are providing “resort lodging services.” The services of both parties are likely to be marketed in the same manner and travel in the same channels of trade, which may lead consumers to believe that the services emanate from a common source.
In light of the above, because the marks are identical and the services being provided by both parties are related and identical in part, registration must be refused under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.
The applicant must note the following, additional ground for refusal.
Surname Refusal
Please see the attached evidence from the Lexis-Nexis computerized database, establishing the surname significance of the surname REMINGTON. This evidence shows the applied-for mark appearing 1,735 times as a surname in a nationwide telephone directory of names. The attached 100 entries is a representative sample of the search results.
In light of the above, registration must be refused under Section 2(e)(4) of the Trademark Act, on the ground that the proposed mark is primarily merely a surname.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
