ARGUMENT(S)

Pursuant to the Final Office Action issued January 30, 2020, wherein the Examining Attorney refused registration of the mark SOLARIA for goods in classes 1, 5, 30 and 32 for the reason that, according to the Examiner, certain of the identified goods demonstrates Applicant’s intent to use the mark on goods that may be unlawful under the Controlled Substances Act and/or may be unlawful under the Federal Food Drug and Cosmetics Act, and because Applicant, in its response to the Office Action issued June 13, 2019, failed to respond to the requests for information, Applicant requests reconsideration of the refusal based upon the following:

Refusal Under the Controlled Substances Act

Applicant is amending herewith its identification of class 32 and 34 goods in the manner suggested by the Examiner and/or the guidenace provided by the Examiner to further confirm that Applicant does not have an intent to use the SOLARIA mark in conjunction with goods regulated under the Controlled Substances Act. The Examiner’s courtesy in providing curative language is acknowledged with appreciation.

Refusal Under the Food Drug and Cosmetics Act

Applicant is amending therewith its identification of classes 1, 5, 30 and 32 goods to exclude the possibility that Applicant has an intent to use the SOLARIA mark in conjunction with foods, beverages, dietary supplements, pet treats or medications that contain cannabidiol ("CBD"),cannabis or THC or that are marketed as containing CBD, cannabis or THC. Specifically, Applicant has either amended the goods identification to delete all references to food, beverages, dietary supplements or medications, or to the extent such identifications remain, Application has explicitly specified that such goods do not include or contain CBD, cannabis or THC in any amount. Accordingly, the application, as amended, no longer indicates any intention of using the claimed mark on or in conjunction with a product that is illegal or prohibited under either the Controlled Substances Act or under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act.

Applicant acknowledges that that application, considered in its entirety, evidences an intent on the part of Applicant to use the SOLARIA mark both with (1) goods not regulated under the Food Drug and Cosmetics Act that may contain CBD oil derived solely from hemp but with a THC content below the legal limit as well as (2) goods regulated under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act that have no CBD, cannabis or THC content at all. Applicant respectfully submits that such a combination of goods should not conflict with the Lanham Act as construed by the applicable case law as none of the identified goods, as amended, contravene either the Controlled Substances Act or the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act. Explained differently, there is no authority Applicant is aware of that holds that a registered mark cannot be used at the same time for items containing CBD oil legally derived and not falling within the ambit of the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act, and items that do fall within the ambit of this act that contain no CBD oil or other cannabidiol.

Requests for Information

Applicant response to the Examiner’s Request for Information as follows:

1. Do or will applicant’s identified goods include any oils, extracts, ingredients or derivatives from the plant Cannabis sativa L (also known as cannabis, marijuana or hemp)?

Only those that are not a food, beverage, dietary supplement, or medication; i.e., only those not regulated under the Food Drug and Cosmetic Act.

2. If the answer to Question 1 is “yes,” does the hemp used or to be used in applicant’s goods contain more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis?

Applicant has not yet produced any goods for use under the mark. When Applicant does produce such goods, those goods to the extent they are produced from hemp will not contain more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis.

3. If applicant has any documentation relative to the THC content of the oils, extracts or derivatives used or to be used in the goods, please submit them with the response.

Not applicable. Applicant has not yet produced any goods for use with the mark.

4. If applicant’s goods do or will contain oils, extracts, ingredients or derivatives from the plant Cannabis sativa L which has more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol on a dry weight basis, identify the part or parts of the plant used in obtaining the oils, extracts, ingredients or derivatives.

Not applicable. Applicant’s goods will not contain more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol on a dry weight basis.

5. If the “hemp” is grown in the United States of America, was the hemp used in the goods obtained from an authorized grower or supplier of industrial hemp from a hemp growing pilot program set up under the 2014 Farm Bill?

Not applicable. Applicant has not yet produced any goods for use with the mark.

6. Do or will applicant’s identified goods include CBD?

Only to the extent that the goods are not food, beverages, dietary supplements or medications and only to the extent they are manufactured from hemp containing not more than 0.3 percent delta-9 tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) on a dry weight basis.

7. Are applicant's identified goods used or intended for use in connection with marijuana, marijuana-based preparations, marijuana extracts or derivatives, or any other illegal controlled substance?

No.

Conclusion

This request for reconsideration is being submitted in conjunction with a notice of appeal for the classes under refusal.

Applicant submits that its application is now in good and adequate form and respectfully requests the application be approved for publication. The Examiner is invited to contact Applicant’s representative should this response not fully address all matters that remain outstanding in this case.
