Attorney Advisor
Office of the Deputy Commissioner
for Trademark Examination Policy
Subject: Letter of protest concerning U.S. Application Serial No. 90087179
for the mark LOST IN THE AMAZON OF ONLINE
A letter of protest filed before publication has been accepted because the evidence submitted by the protester is relevant and may support a reasonable ground for refusal appropriate in ex parte examination. TMEP §1715.02. Therefore, you must consider the following and make an independent determination whether to issue a requirement or refusal based on the objections raised in the letter of protest:
Possible likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d) with the following registrations and application:
U.S. Registration Nos. 2832943 and 4907371 for the mark AMAZON;
U.S. Registration Nos. 5355386 and 4089910 for the mark AMAZON and design; and
U.S. Application Serial No. 88658643 for the mark AMAZON.
Please see copies of the registrations and application in the XSearch database.
NOTE: The acceptance of a letter of protest filed before publication is not a legal determination by the USPTO of registrability, nor is it meant to compromise the integrity of the ex parte examination process. It merely serves to bring the submitted evidence to the attention of the examining attorney, who determines whether a refusal or requirement should be raised or ultimately made final.
