Subject: RE: DISH SCAPES - Trademark Application Serial No. 88751076

 

Mr. Brookshire,

 

Applicant agrees to the following Section 2(f) claim without admission pursuant to TMEP 1212.02(c): 

 

The word “DISH” in the mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S. Registration No. 5543595 on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar services. 

 

With regard to the services description, Applicant agrees to amend as follows:

 

entertainment services in the nature of providing non-downloadable multi-media entertainment content via the Internet and electronic communications networks, namely, providing continuing non-downloadable movies, television show series, television programs and video clip segments featuring music, natural sounds, geography, natural landscapes, travel, and natural history.

 

Please address these issues via Examiner’s amendment if possible, or alternatively please let me know what else you need from us.  Thank you.  Best regards, 

 

Ian

Subject: DISH SCAPES - Trademark Application Serial No. 88751076

 

Dear Ian L. Saffer,

 

I am the trademark examiner assigned to the mark DISH SCAPES in Trademark Application Serial No. 88751076.  There are two issues with the application that must be addressed before it can proceed.

 

The first issue is that DISH is descriptive.  Therefore this word must be disclaimed or alternatively applicant may enter in partial Section 2(f) statement based on Registration No.  5543595.

 

In addition the wording “entertainment services in the nature of providing non-downloadable multi-media entertainment content via the Internet and electronic communications networks, namely, providing continuing non-downloadable movies, television show series, television programs and video clip segments” is vague. Applicant must identify the subject matter of these products or clarify that they are provided via an on-demand service.

 

If you let me know how you would like to address these issues I can enter in the changes via an examiner’s amendment at which point the application should be in condition for publication.

 

Regards,

David Brookshire
