Response to Office Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 86261984 CORTANA(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/86261984/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

ARGUMENT(S)
In response to the substantive refusal(s), please note the following:

In an Office Action issued July 17, 2014, the Examining Attorney (A) objects to the goods and services lisitings, (B) requires a claim of ownership to an existing registration; (C) identifies requirements for adding a class; (D) identifies requirements under Section 44(e); and (E) refuses registration in Classes 9 and 42 under Section 2(d). The applicant herein amends the application to resolve the Examining Attorney’s objections, and asserts that the application is in condition for approval.

 

A.      Ownership of Prior Registration

The Examining Attorney requires a claim of ownership to U.S. Reg. No. 2841558. Applicant has amended the application to include such a claim. Accordingly, this issue has been satisfied.

 

B.      Identification of Goods and Services

The Examining Attorney objects to several clauses in the goods and services descriptions. Applicant has amended the goods and services in response to the examiner’s comments, and believes the amended descriptions are acceptable. Applicant invites the Examining Attorney to contact the undersigned with any questions or remaining issues.

 

C.      Requirements for Combined Application

The Examining Attorney identifies requirements should applicant add a class to the application. By this amendment, applicant adds Class 36 to the application. One additional filing fee is submitted herewith. Applicant believes these requirements have been satisfied.

 

D.      Section 44(e) Requirement

The Examining Attorney identifies requirements associated with registration under Section 44(e). Applicant drops Section 44(e) as a basis for registration, and will proceed to registration based solely on Section 1(b)/1(a). Accordingly, this issue is moot.

 

E.       Section 2(d) Refusal

The Examining Attorney refuses registration under Section 2(d) to only the goods in Class 9 and services in Class 42. Applicant thanks the examiner for considering the application closely and finding that the application is in condition for approval under Section 2(d) with respect to all the other services listed in the application. Applicant believes the Section 2(d) refusal should be withdrawn.

 

Applicant’s mark CORTANA is initially refused registration based on coexisting registrations for the marks CORTINA, CORTONA and CERTONA. Applicant makes an initial comment that the three registrations, in and of themselves, establish that a one-letter difference between three marks can have a significant enough effect in terms of appearance, sound and/or commercial impression to prevent consumer confusion and allow the marks to be simultaneously registered. As explained below, these same types of differences are sufficient to provide for registration of applicant’s CORTANA mark for the amended goods and services in Classes 9 and 42.

 

                Comparison of the Marks

Although similar, applicant asserts that the differences in the marks are more than sufficient to prevent consumer confusion in connection with the goods and services as amended. Accordingly, applicant requests that the Examining Attorney review the amendments, reconsider the issue and withdraw the refusal.

Considering the marks’ appearance, sound and commercial impression, both CORTINA and CORTONA begin with the identical prefix “Cort.” One ends with “Tina” and the other with “Tona.” They are both registered. Similarly, applicant’s mark ends with “Tana.” Applicant’s “Tana” suffix is sufficiently different and readily distinguishable from both “Tina” and “Tona” such that consumer confusion is not likely, especially when the goods and services are not identical or closely related. Further, both CORTONA and CERTONA end with the identical suffix “Tona.” They are both registered. None of the cited registrations ends with the suffice “TANA.” Accordingly, although two of the cited registrations share the prefix “Cort” and two of the cited registrations share the suffice “Tona,” none of them shares applicant’s “TANA” suffice. As summarized above, this distinction is sufficient to allow ordinary consumers to readily distinguish applicant’s goods and services from the goods and services associated with the cited registrations.

 

                Comparison of the Goods in Class 9 and the Services in Class 42

In comparing the goods in the original application, the Examining Attorney notes that “applicant has applied for goods broadly consisting of ‘computer software’ … and computer services … such as ‘computer programming’ and ‘design and development of computer hardware and software’.” In its amendment, applicant has deleted the unrestricted goods and services “computer software,” “computer programming” and “design and development of computer hardware and software.” As such, the overly broad and, arguably, overlapping goods and services have been eliminated from the application.  

With respect to CORTINA and CORTINA SYSTEMS, the registered goods are “computer software for controlling and programming semiconductor chips for use in the field of data and telecommunications networks; computer and telecommunications hardware, namely, modules, chips and sub-systems for use in connection with data and telecommunication networks.” The generic terms have been removed from applicant’s goods description; and the semiconductor chips, modules, sub-systems and software for controlling the same in connection with data/telecommunication networks are not related to applicant’s amended goods and do not create any potential for confusion. Due to such differences in goods, combined with the differences in the marks themselves, the CORTINA and CORTINA SYSTEMS registrations should be withdrawn.  

With respect to CORTONA, the registration covers “Computer software for database management and data manipulation in the field of creation, optimization, visualization, interaction, animation, collaboration, and communication of three-dimensional graphical data in either a single-user or multi-user format; computer software development tools in the field of creation, optimization, visualization, interaction/animation, collaboration, and communication of three-dimensional graphical data in either a single-user or multi-user format; electronic publications, recorded on computer media, about computer software in the field of creation, optimization, three-dimensional graphical data in either a single-user or multi-user format, namely books, manuals, newsletters and magazines.” The generic terms have been removed from applicant’s goods description; and the three-dimensional graphical data and related software are not closely related to applicant’s amended goods and do not crate any potential for confusion. Due to such differences in goods, combined with differences in the marks themselves, the CORTONA registration should be withdrawn.

With respect to CERTONA, the Examining Attorney notes that “applicant’s identification of services uses identical language and lists broad listings that encompass the more specific services of the registrant and is therefore viewed as essentially identical to the services of the registrant.  Unrestricted and broad identifications are presumed to encompass all services of the type described.” In particular, the examiner identifies applicant’s unrestricted ASP services, programming and software design services, and consulting services. Applicant has amended the recitation of services to remove the unrestricted terms “computer programming” and “design and development of computer hardware and software,” remove broad “consulting services,” and narrow the recitation to clarify that such services are assisting others in the use and operation of their electronic devices. These differences in services, combined with the fact that applicant’s mark shares neither the “Cert” prefix nor the “Tona” suffix with the registered mark, will prevent a likelihood of confusion. As such, the CERTONA registration should be withdrawn.  

 

F.       Conclusion

As explained above, applicant asserts that the amendments made with this submission resolve each of the outstanding objections and rejections, and respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney reconsider the application and approve the mark for publication.  If questions remain, the Examining Attorney is invited to contact Applicant’s counsel, Kevin S. Costanza by email at KevinC.Docketing@SeedIP.com or by telephone at (206) 622-4900.
