DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK
(and Color Location, if applicable)
The mark consists of the stylized wording SUPER X-FI.
ARGUMENT(S)

In the Office Action dated December 10, 2018, the Examining Attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark in Classes 35 and 42 under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act based on a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 2575138 (the “Cited Registration” or “Cited Mark”).

In considering whether there is a likelihood of confusion, a number of factors are relevant, including the similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods or services, the similarity of the trade channels, the strength of the marks, and other factors.  As support for the refusal to register Applicant’s mark, the Examining Attorney states that the marks are similar because they share the same letters “X” and “FI.”  However, for the reasons discussed below, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney withdraw the refusal to registration and allow the subject application to register.

A.        Applicant’s Services, as Amended, are Sufficiently Unrelated to the Services Covered by the Cited Registration Such That Confusion Would Not be Likely

Applicant’s amendment to the identification of services obviates any potential likelihood of confusion.  The identification of services has been narrowly tailored such that the applied-for services are no longer related, similar, or overlapping with the services covered by the Cited Registration.  Moreover, Applicant’s amendment makes clear that the applied-for services are intended for different prospective consumers, thereby further ensuring that the applied-for services are no longer similar or related to the services covered by the Cited Registration.  The respective services of the parties are clearly identified as specific and distinctive services that are intended for separate and different intended uses by clearly distinct relevant prospective consumers.  In light of this amendment, Applicant respectfully requests that the refusal to register be withdrawn.

B.        Conclusion

In view of the foregoing, there is no likelihood of confusion between the concurrent use of Applicant’s mark and the Registrant’s mark.  Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney withdraw the refusal to register under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act and suspend the subject application pending the submission of a photocopy of the corresponding foreign Certificate of Registration.

Response to Office Action


To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 88092166 SUPER X-FI (Stylized and/or with Design, see http://uspto.report/TM/88092166/mark.png) has been amended as follows:

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

In the Office Action dated December 10, 2018, the Examining Attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark in Classes 35 and 42 under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act based on a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 2575138 (the “Cited Registration” or “Cited Mark”).

In considering whether there is a likelihood of confusion, a number of factors are relevant, including the similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods or services, the similarity of the trade channels, the strength of the marks, and other factors.  As support for the refusal to register Applicant’s mark, the Examining Attorney states that the marks are similar because they share the same letters “X” and “FI.”  However, for the reasons discussed below, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney withdraw the refusal to registration and allow the subject application to register.

A.        Applicant’s Services, as Amended, are Sufficiently Unrelated to the Services Covered by the Cited Registration Such That Confusion Would Not be Likely

Applicant’s amendment to the identification of services obviates any potential likelihood of confusion.  The identification of services has been narrowly tailored such that the applied-for services are no longer related, similar, or overlapping with the services covered by the Cited Registration.  Moreover, Applicant’s amendment makes clear that the applied-for services are intended for different prospective consumers, thereby further ensuring that the applied-for services are no longer similar or related to the services covered by the Cited Registration.  The respective services of the parties are clearly identified as specific and distinctive services that are intended for separate and different intended uses by clearly distinct relevant prospective consumers.  In light of this amendment, Applicant respectfully requests that the refusal to register be withdrawn.

B.        Conclusion

In view of the foregoing, there is no likelihood of confusion between the concurrent use of Applicant’s mark and the Registrant’s mark.  Accordingly, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining Attorney withdraw the refusal to register under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act and suspend the subject application pending the submission of a photocopy of the corresponding foreign Certificate of Registration.
