ARGUMENT(S)

RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION

 

            This is in response to the Office Action dated June 25, 2019.

The examining attorney has refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) based on the existence of the mark in U.S. Trademark Registration No. 5726717.  This refusal of registration is not well taken for the following reasons.

The mark in the cited registration is:

That registration includes the goods "wines" in Class 33.

            The cited registration coexists with the following marks which are the subject of registrations at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office:

Mark

Reg. No.

Goods

4652619

Dessert wines; Red wine; Sparkling wines; White wine.

J.R. BRILLET

1505441

cognac, pineau, liqueurs, and wine

5303375

beer

 

Attached is TSDR information for these records.

These registrations peaceful coexist with the cited registration on the Principal Register.  In addition, the marks coexist in the marketplace with other JR marks for alcoholic beverages.

Consumers are clearly able to distinguish between the existing JR marks which exist at the USPTO and in the marketplace.  Applicant's mark is able to coexist as well.

Further, Applicant's mark is highly stylized as is the mark in the cited registration.  Consumers simply would not confuse these two marks.

In short, there is no potential likelihood of confusion between Applicant's mark and the mark in the cited registration.

            In view of the foregoing, it is submitted that Applicant's mark is now in condition for publication and such action is respectfully requested.
