Response to Office Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 87323036 MAD SCIENCE(Standard Characters, see http://uspto.report/TM/87323036/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

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

MadScience and Mad Scientist are two different statements with two different meanings. Leafly is also not the foremost authority on cannabis or marijuana products, so their "strain" is simply a material advertisement and is completely arbitrary with no definite meaning to "society" as a whole, nor "the common sense" is to assume that Mad Scientist means marijuana, in turn, the term Mad Science having absolutely no relevance to the prior as well as any future connections with the term as a "definition of a strain." If that's the case than I can make a website that is a marijuana forum and start saying I have random names as strains and then nobody can do a trademark or they are going to get confused with a marijuana strain? It's not logical, and definitely not legal. Leafly is a privately owned company (non-governmental) and has no authority over the Federal Cannabis Control Substances Act, nor are they in any connection with the Cannabis Control Bureau being instated by governmental policies starting as early as January 2018, and in fact, already have taken effect regionally. Furthermore, any content presented by Leafly or its subsidiaries can only be presented as an advertisement, and not a fact in any way, shape, or form. Advertisements can more often than not be false in nature, and can bare no factual background or definitive nature. Until proven otherwise. In this scenario, Leafly is not the foremost authority in proving anything. Especially a product that falls under the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. ??801-971. See 37 C.F.R. ?2.69; TMEP ?907 because they are not a government organization. yes our trademark and the product that we are currently creating is in complete compliance with the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. ??801-971. See 37 C.F.R. ?2.69; TMEP ?907. We are not producing any marijuana products in compliance with the Controlled Substances Act. Applicant?s identified goods DO NOT include or contain marijuana, marijuana-based preparations, marijuana extracts or derivatives, or any other illegal controlled substances establishing full compliance with the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. ??801-971. See 37 C.F.R. ?2.69; TMEP ?907. We are producing a health vaporizer that contains a tobacco-substitute and is NON-marijuana based, as well as Non-tobacco based parts in our products. Therefore, it complies with the above stated act. This vaporizer that we are creating will utilize several different botanical and pure essential oils extracted from herbs across the world, some often containing common vitamins such as Vitamin B12, and Vitamin C. This model of our business complies with the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. ??801-971. See 37 C.F.R. ?2.69; TMEP ?907. To further elaborate, NO, our identified goods used or intended for use ARE NOT in connection with marijuana, marijuana-based preparations, marijuana extracts or derivatives, or any other illegal controlled substance. Therefore, again, complying the Controlled Substances Act (CSA), 21 U.S.C. ??801-971. See 37 C.F.R. ?2.69; TMEP ?907.
