ARGUMENT(S) | |
In response to the Office Action dated July 6, 2018, Applicant respectfully submits the following: The Examining Attorney has refused registration on the Principal Register under Sections 1, 2 and 45 of the Trademark Act for the composite trademark HUFFLEPUFF for Class 14 in connection with "watches; jewelry, namely, bracelets and earrings; key rings comprised of split rings with decorative fobs or trinkets,” on the grounds that the mark, as used on the specimen of record, allegedly "is merely a decorative or ornamental feature of the goods." Applicant respectfully requests that the refusal be withdrawn in view of the following arguments: Applicant's HUFFLEPUFF mark serves as an identifier of a secondary source, under TMEP 1202.03(c), through its use with goods other than those identified in the Application, as shown by the enclosed evidence – in the form of product, packaging and website listings – that the mark is already recognized as a source indicator for other goods and services, namely, phone covers, pens, wand stands, puzzles, chess sets, Christmas ornaments, pins, coasters, mugs, water bottles, mouse pads, photo panels, bookmarks, notebooks, ties, t-shirts, robes, hats, sweaters, purses, throws and retail services. In view of the above, Applicant respectfully requests that a Notice of Publication issue for the HUFFLEPUFF trademark under Section 12 of the Trademark Act. Respectfully submitted, WARNER BROS.
