The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Summary of Issues
Search Results for Classes 9, 36 and Certain Services in Class 42
Applicant is advised as follows with respect to the Classes 9 and 36 and with respect to the following services in Class 42:
Computer services, namely, creating an on-line community for registered users to engage in social and community networking, share and view location, availability, and compatibility information, and connect with others for the purposes of listing, searching, identifying, exchanging and sharing co-working and private work spaces; computer services, namely, hosting and maintaining an on-line web site for others for engaging in a virtual community where users can list, search, identify, exchange and share co-working and private work spaces and make online and offline personal and professional connections; Providing a website that features technology that enables the secure exchange of information by users; Providing temporary use of on-line non-downloadable software and applications for engaging in social and community networking and connecting with others for the purposes of listing, searching, identifying, exchanging and sharing co-working and private work spaces and making online and offline personal and professional connections
Earlier-Filed Application as Potential Bar to Registration for Specific Services in Class 42
Applicant is advised as follows with respect to the following services in Class 42:
Providing an interactive website featuring technology that allows users to create personal profiles, upload and share audio, video, photos, text, surveys, graphics and data, share and view information, list, search, identify, exchange and share co-working and private work spaces, provide and receive feedback about their peers, engage in social and community networking, share and view location, availability, and compatibility information
The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no similar registered marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). However, a mark in a prior-filed pending application may present a bar to registration of applicant’s mark.
In response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict between applicant’s mark and the mark in the referenced application. Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
