| ARGUMENT(S) | |
|
NIWO is a term that is short, easy to read and remember. It carries no meaning or significance in the industry in which the goods are manufactured/provided, or any other industry, as far as I am aware of. It is not a "term of art" within the industry either. To the best of my knowledge, the word "NIWO" doesn't identify any geographic place, neither does it have any meaning in a foreign language. The above explanation is in response to the below request: "Applicant must explain whether “NIWO” has any meaning or significance in the industry in which the goods are manufactured/provided, or if such wording is a “term of art” within applicant’s industry. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §814. Applicant must also explain whether this wording identifies a geographic place or has any meaning in a foreign language. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(9), (a)(10), 2.61(b); TMEP §§809, 814. An applicant must submit an English translation of all foreign wording in a mark and a transliteration (the phonetic spelling, in Latin characters, of terms in the mark in non-Latin characters) of all non-Latin characters in a mark. 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(9), (a)(10); TMEP §809. If the wording does not have meaning in a foreign language, applicant should so specify. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §809.03." |
