Request for Reconsideration after Final Action

To the Commissioner for Trademarks:

Application serial no. 88328950 YH (Stylized and/or with Design, see http://tmng-al.uspto.gov /resting2/api/img/8832895 0/large) has been amended as follows:

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

The factor of sophistication of the purchasers also weighs in favor of registration of the Applicant’s Mark. Where the relevant buyer class is composed solely of professional or commercial purchasers, it is reasonable to set a higher standard of care than exists for consumers. Checkpoint Sys. v. Check Point Software Tech, 268 F.3d 270, 285 (3^rd Cir. 2001). The Applicant’s Mark, the First Registered Mark, and the Second Registered Mark are related to computer products indicating an educated and professional consumer base that carefully examines the products and services that they will purchase. Indeed, courts have determined that consumers are more careful than usual have found no likelihood of confusion even where the names of the institutions share some of the same terms. To buttress this argument, Applicant notes that over twenty (20) registered marks include the word “YH”

Clearly, the registration of these marks also implies that the USPTO believes that consumers are capable of making the necessary distinctions so as to register all of these mark in relation to services. Because of the nature of the products at issue, therefore, this factor also weighs in favor of registrability of the Applicant’s Mark.
