DISCLAIMER
Applicant must disclaim the wording “Airlines” because it is merely descriptive of an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of applicant’s goods and/or services. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med. Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).
The term AIRLINES is defined as: “a commercial enterprise that provides scheduled flights for passengers.” Thus, the wording merely describes the method of providing the applicant’s services.
Applicant may respond to this issue by submitting a disclaimer in the following format:
No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “Airlines” apart from the mark as shown.
