MARK FILE NAME | http://uspto.report/TM/88389768/mark.png |
LITERAL ELEMENT | ARMADILLO |
STANDARD CHARACTERS | NO |
USPTO-GENERATED IMAGE | NO |
COLOR(S) CLAIMED (If applicable) |
Color is not claimed as a feature of the mark. |
DESCRIPTION OF THE MARK (and Color Location, if applicable) |
The mark consists of armadillo shaped thought bubble with a dot cut out of it. |
ARGUMENT(S) | |
The application has been refused for registration because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in US Registration No. 2559136. Applicant respectfully disagrees. Applicant?s logo mark is stylized logo with the wording ARMADILLO to the right of an armadillo shaped thought bubble with a dot cut out of it, as applied to ?financial risk management; insurance agency and brokerage, insurance underwriting services for all types of insurance? in Class 36. The registered mark for aRMadillo, in relevant part for services in Class 36, is described as ?financial analysis, evaluation, appraisal and reporting; provision of financial information; provision of credit assessments, ratings and information; consulting services namely providing information and advice in all the aforesaid areas?. Looking at the file history of the registered aRMaddillo mark, the specimen used for Class 36 is attached hereto. The renewal specimen for the Class 36 services specifically shows that the mark is used on ?credit check? services, including detailed background checks on corporations or individuals. See attached evidence of the renewal specimen 1, 3 and website homepage 2. Applicant argues that the marks are different due to the stylized logo of the Applicant?s mark and that the services are distinct enough that they are not directed to the same consumer and are not in the same channel of trade. The registration is directed to individual and corporate credit services whereas the application is directed to insurance services. To further support Applicants position, the term Armadillo is weak with over 24 live Registrations for the single mark ARMADILLO alone. See 5 which is copies of the registrations, which are in various classes. Other Armadillo registrations in Class 36 include 12 Armadillos for services described as ?lease of real estate; rental of real estate.? See 4 attached. In sum, due to the distinctions in appearance of the mark and the services as well as to the consumers and channels of trade, the cited registration would not likely cause confusion and the application should be allowed to be registered. | |
