Issue date: April 09, 2020
This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on March 16, 2020.
Applicant’s claim of acquired distinctiveness is accepted. However, as the following requirement remains outstanding, the refusal to register is continued.
Words in a grammatically or otherwise unitary expression must be disclaimed as a composite. TMEP §1213.08(b); see, e.g., In re Med. Disposables Co., 25 USPQ2d 1801, 1805 (TTAB 1992); In re Wanstrath, 7 USPQ2d 1412, 1413 (Comm’r Pats. 1987). Components of a mark that are not adjacent or adjacent components that do not form a grammatically or otherwise unitary expression may be disclaimed separately, which is not present in this case. See TMEP §1213.08(a)(i), (b).
Accordingly, applicant must withdraw the disclaimer.
