NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will beabandoned. Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the
end of this Office action.
Issue date: October 03, 2019
This application was approved for publication on September 17, 2019. See 37 C.F.R. §2.80. However, approval of the application has been
withdrawn to address the issue or issues below. See TMEP §706.01. The trademark examining attorney apologizes for any inconvenience this
may cause applicant.
Under Nice 11-2019, computer software must be specified as “downloadable” and/or “recorded” to clarify the nature of the goods. This
wording is no longer acceptable. This entry has been replaced by two entries for downloadable and recorded formats of these goods, respectively,
in Class 9. Therefore all references to software in the goods and services must reference either “downloadable” and/or “recorded” for class 9
goods, or “Non-downloadable” for services. See TMEP §1402.03(d).
Therefore, for class 9 goods, this clarification is required. Any wording below in all CAPITALS has been added by the examiner to fix an issue.
“RECORDED Computer software and downloadable mobile applications relating to personalized nutrition for determining a personalized
dosage of nutraceuticals and other supplements from a dispensing device in the nature of electronic automated beverage and nutraceutical
dispensing machines and communicating information with the dispensing devices, enabling users to receive a beverage from the dispensing
devices containing a personalized dosage of nutraceuticals and other supplements; RECORDED computer software and downloadable mobile
applications for enabling users to receive, access, and provide health, lifestyle and nutritional data and information for a beverage and
nutraceutical machine to formulate a beverage containing a personalized dosage of nutraceuticals and other supplements based on the data and
information; downloadable computer software and mobile applications for remote operation of personalized nutrition dispensing devices in the
nature of electric automated beverage dispensers and transmission of data between the personalized nutrition dispensing devices and users'
mobile devices and computers using wireless communication for facilitating dispensing a beverage containing a personalized dosage of
nutraceuticals and other supplements; electronic automated beverage and nutraceutical dispensing systems, not heated or cooled, comprised of a
machine that stores nutraceuticals and other supplements and dispenses a beverage containing a personalized, pre-determined dosage of
nutraceuticals and other supplements at specified times and has internet connectivity with other devices for collecting, integrating and processing
users' health, lifestyle and nutritional data for enabling the machine to dispense a beverage containing a personalized dosage of nutraceuticals and
other supplements” in International Class 9
Applicant’s goods and/or services may be clarified or limited, but may not be expanded beyond those originally itemized in the application or as
acceptably amended. See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06. Applicant may clarify or limit the identification by inserting qualifying language
or deleting items to result in a more specific identification; however, applicant may not substitute different goods and/or services or add goods
and/or services not found or encompassed by those in the original application or as acceptably amended. See TMEP §1402.06(a)-(b). The scope
of the goods and/or services sets the outer limit for any changes to the identification and is generally determined by the ordinary meaning of the
wording in the identification. TMEP §§1402.06(b), 1402.07(a)-(b). Any acceptable changes to the goods and/or services will further limit scope,
and once goods and/or services are deleted, they are not permitted to be reinserted. TMEP §1402.07(e).
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual. See TMEP §1402.04.

using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office

agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b);
TMEP §§819, 820. TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $125
per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04. However, in certain situations, TEAS
Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring
this additional fee.

OFFICE ACTION
STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTERTO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S
COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW. A RESPONSE
TRANSMITTED THROUGH THE TRADEMARK ELECTRONIC APPLICATION SYSTEM (TEAS) MUST BE RECEIVED BEFORE
MIDNIGHT EASTERN TIME OF THE LAST DAY OF THE RESPONSE PERIOD.
ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/25/2019
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:
Prior-Filed Application
Identification of Goods and Services
Multiple-Class Application Requirements
Disclaimer Required
SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF MARKS
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.
PRIOR-FILED APPLICATION
The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial No. 87906363 precedes applicant’s filing date. See attached referenced application. If the
mark in the referenced application registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a
likelihood of confusion between the two marks. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq. Therefore, upon receipt of
applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final disposition of the earlier-filed referenced
application.
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.
IDENTIFICATION AND CLASSIFICATION OF GOODS AND SERVICES
Some of the identifications for software are indefinite and must be clarified by amending to specify the purpose or function of the software. See
37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.03(d). If the software is content- or field-specific, applicant must also specify its content or field of use. See
TMEP §1402.03(d). The USPTO requires such specificity in identifying computer software in order for a trademark examining attorney to
examine the application properly and make appropriate decisions concerning possible conflicts between the applicant’s mark and other marks.
See In re N.A.D. Inc., 57 USPQ2d 1872, 1874 (TTAB 2000); TMEP §1402.03(d).
The wording “electronic and nutraceutical dispensing systems comprised of a machine that stores nutraceuticals and other supplements and
dispenses a beverage containing a personalized dosage of nutraceuticals and other supplements at specified times and has internet connectivity
with other devices for collecting, integrating and processing users' health, lifestyle and nutritional data for enabling the machine to dispense a
beverage containing a personalized dosage of nutraceuticals and other supplements” in the identification of goods for International Class 9 must
be clarified because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes. See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.
Applicant should note that any wording in bold, in italics, underlined, and/or in ALL CAPS below offers guidance and/or shows changes being
proposed for the identification of goods and/or services. If there is wording in the applicant’s version of the identification of goods and/or
services which should be removed, it will be shown with a line through it such as this: strikethrough. When making its amendments, applicant
should enter them in standard font, not in bold, in italics, underlined, and/or in ALL CAPS.
Applicant may adopt the following identification of goods and services, if accurate:

services. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.
For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual at http://tess2.uspto.gov/netahtml/tidm.html. See TMEP §1402.04.

numbered class.
(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee(s) already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule ).
The application identifies goods and services that are classified in at least 3 classes; however, applicant submitted fees sufficient for
only 2 classes. Applicant must either submit the filing fees for the classes not covered by the submitted fees or restrict the application
to the number of classes covered by the fees already paid.
See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(b), 1112, 1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(2)-(3), 2.86(a); TMEP §§1403.01, 1403.02(c).

Electronic Application System (TEAS) form.

Applicant must provide a disclaimer of the unregistrable part(s) of the applied-for mark even though the mark as a whole appears to be
registrable. See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a). A disclaimer of an unregistrable part of a mark will not affect the mark’s
appearance. See Schwarzkopf v. John H. Breck, Inc., 340 F.2d 978, 979-80, 144 USPQ 433, 433 (C.C.P.A. 1965).
In this case, applicant must disclaim the wording “INTELLIGENT NUTRITION ASSISTANT” in the mark because it is not inherently
distinctive. These unregistrable term(s) at best are merely descriptive of an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of
applicant’s goods and 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 attached dictionary evidence shows that “INTELLIGENT” means “guided or controlled by a computer” ( https://www.merriam-
webster.com/dictionary/intelligent) and “ASSISTANT” means “a device or product that provides assistance” ( https://www.merriam-
webster.com/dictionary/assistant). Additionally, the word “NUTRITION” appears in the identification of goods and services. Thus, the
wording merely describes a characteristic and function of applicant’s goods and 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 “INTELLIGENT NUTRITION ASSISTANT” apart from the mark as shown.
For an overview of disclaimers and instructions on how to satisfy this issue using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), see the
Disclaimer webpage.
TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONALREQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE: Applicants who filed their application online

agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b);

per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04. However, in certain situations, TEAS

“Documents.”
The Office action may not be immediately viewable, to allow for necessary system updates of the application, but will be available within 24

response period. For information regarding response time periods, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/process/status/responsetime.jsp.
Do NOT hit “Reply” to this e-mail notification, or otherwise e-mail your response because the USPTO does NOT accept e-mails as
responses to Office actions. Instead, the USPTO recommends that you respond online using the TEAS response form located at
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/response_forms.jsp.

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION: Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations. These companies often use names that
closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document. Many solicitations require that you pay
“fees.”
Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation. All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” For more information on how to handle
private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.

RESPONSES AND OBJECTIONS BY APPLICANT TO OPPOSERS’S FIRST SET OF
INTERROGATORIES
Applicant, Mixfit, Inc. (“Applicant” or “Respondent”), hereby serves the below responses
and objections to Opposers, Myx Fitness, LLC and Palm Ventures, LLC (“Opposers’”) First Set of
Interrogatories (“Interrogatories”).
Pursuant to Rule 33, Fed. R. Civ. P., and Rules 2.116 and 2.120 of the Trademark Rules of
Practice, Applicant provides the following answers to the first set of interrogatories of Opposers.
These answers are based upon the best information presently available to Applicant, and best belief
of its counsel, and are made without prejudice to the right of Applicant to make additional or
modified answers should better or further information or belief subsequently become available to
Applicant. Moreover, these answers are made without prejudice to any right of Applicant to offer
evidence on its behalf or to object to the relevance, competence or admissibility of any ground of
any evidence or witness offered by Opposers; and these answers do not constitute an admission of
competence or admissibility or evidence or a waiver of objection on any grounds.
Each interrogatory is restated below, along with any applicable responses and objections.
2
GENERAL OBJECTIONS
1. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that they seek information that
may be protected by the attorney-client privilege, the work-product doctrine or any other privilege.
2. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they seek the disclosure of
information that embodies, reflects or relates to trade secrets or other confidential research,
development, or commercial information as set forth in the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
Manual of Procedure, Section 402.02 or otherwise.
3. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they seek to impose definitions,
rules of constructions, or instructions that are broader than those set forth in the Trademark Trial
and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure, Section 402.02 or otherwise.
4. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that they are unduly
burdensome, impermissibly vague or ambiguous or require unreasonable efforts or expense on the
part of Opposers.
5. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they require Applicant to
answer the Interrogatories on behalf of third parties.
6. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they require the production of
information that is outside Applicant’s possession, custody or control.
7. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they require the production of
information that is either publicly available or already in the possession, custody or control of
Opposers.
8. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that the Interrogatories are
vague or ambiguous or contain terms or phrases that are undefined and subject to varying
interpretations or meanings, and may therefore make the responses to the Interrogatories
misleading or incorrect.
3
9. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories as overly broad and unduly burdensome to
the extent that the Interrogatories call for the production of information that is not reasonably
accessible. Specifically, Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent that they seek
information that cannot be located or obtained through reasonable records search.
10. To the extent the Interrogatories or related instructions regarding the logging of
privileged information seek to impose obligation on Applicant beyond the scope of the Federal
Rules of Civil Procedure or the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure,
Applicant objects to those instructions as unduly burdensome and as seeking to impose an
obligation beyond that imposed by applicable rule.
11. Applicant objects to the Interrogatories to the extent they assume disputed facts or
legal conclusions when defining the information requested.
12. Applicant reserves the right to supplement these responses or objections as may be
permitted by the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure or the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
Manual of Procedure.
13. These general objections are deemed incorporated into each response to each of the
Interrogatories.
14. To the extent that specific general objections are cited herein in response to specific
discovery requests, those specific objections are provided because they are believed to be
particularly applicable to the discovery requests and are not to be construed as a waiver of any
other general objection applicable to information and documents falling within the scope of the
request. Moreover, the production of any non-relevant information, whether or not in response to
any discovery requests, is not to be construed as a waiver of a claim of irrelevancy.

RE: Mixfit Oppositions (91254501; 91254502) Our Ref Nos.: 6618/0019OT and 6618/0020OT; Your Ref.: UNKNOWN
Dear Jessica:
This is in response to your letter, dated December 22, 2020. Subject to the objections set
forth in the Applicant’s responses to the Opposers’ First Set of Interrogatories and First Request
for Production, Applicant submits the following information and responses.
1. Consistent with Trademark Rule 2.116(g), which automatically imposes a standard Protective Order on these proceedings, you have confirmed that Mixfit is not withholding any documents or information on the ground that the Opposers’ requests seek trade secret and/or confidential information.
Jessica S. Rutherford FERDINAND IP, LLC December 29, 2020
Response: Applicant confirms that it performed a reasonable search and produced non-privileged documents responsive to the Opposers’ requests within its possession, custody, or control to the extent that such documents are relevant to these proceedings.
2. Interrogatories No. 2-3 and RFPs 15-16 seek information and evidence relating to the first use of the Marks in commerce and the geographic location of such use. Mixfit has provided a receipt showing a sale in the amount of $399 on March 1, 2019 (“Your Mixfit Inc. receipt [#1514- 8461].pdf”), but it is not clear from the receipt where the sale occurred (US or abroad) and what product was sold. The receipt also does not evidence use of the Mixfit Intelligent Nutrition Assistant Mark. You agreed to search for and produce additional information and documents relating to the first use of each of the Marks in commerce, including the Mixfit Intelligent Nutrition Assistant Mark, and documents relating to the geographic area where goods and services have been marketed. Response: Applicant agrees to perform a reasonable search and produce non-privileged documents responsive to this Request within its possession, custody, or control to the extent that such documents are relevant to these proceedings. In particular, Applicant will produce documents relating to the downloads of the Mixfit Applications available on the GooglePlay (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.mixfit.mixfit&hl=en_US&gl=US) and Apple’s App Store (https://apps.apple.com/us/app/mixfit/id1440172094) as well as electronic sales data that is combined for Mixfit device and Core Pack. Mixfit Application includes Mixfit proprietary software nutritional engine that is marketed under MIXFIT INTELLIGENT NUTRITION ASSISTANT Mark.
3. Interrogatory No. 4 and RFPs 5, 8-10 seek information and documents concerning the selection and adoption of the Marks. Mixfit has produced one document (Branding Framework_draft.pdf) that discusses proposals to brand specific products, and an email relating to possible acronyms for MINA (“Re Docs to review for Visual Brand … design.pdf”), but the Marks already appear in use in these documents and there is no discussion relating to how the Marks were selected or created. You agreed to search for and produce additional responsive documents and information, or if no such documents or information exists, to confirm this in writing. Response: Applicant submits that no additional documents exist that are responsive to the RFPs 5, 8-10. Notwithstanding the forgoing, Applicant submits that the term “mixfit” consists of the word “mix” that signifies the action of combining and the resulting mixture, coupled with the word “fit” that signifies wellbeing, health and strength. Accordingly, “mixfit” suggests a mixture for improvement of one’s wellbeing, health and fitness. The term was used as Applicant’s corporate name, which was submitted to the State of Delaware as early as December 17, 2015. Applicant will provide the supporting incorporation document.
4. Interrogatory No. 14 and RFPs 31-32 & 35 seek information and documents relating to expansion plans, business plan and forecasts, and documents exchanged between Mixfit
Jessica S. Rutherford FERDINAND IP, LLC December 29, 2020
Response: Applicant submits that no additional documents exist that are responsive to Interrogatory No. 19 and RFP 13.
9. Interrogatory No. 20 seeks facts supporting affirmative defenses. You agreed to provide information responsive to this Interrogatory. Response: Applicant confirms that it will perform a reasonable search and produce documents responsive to the Opposers’ requests within its possession, custody, or control to the extent that such documents are relevant to these proceedings.
10. RFP No. 6 seeks all documents relating to trademark searches. Although you agreed in your October 13, 2020 letter to me that “search reports are discoverable,” Mixfit has not yet produced any such reports, maintaining only that “the result of the search did not contain any of the Opposer’s marks or applications” or otherwise identify Opposer You requested citations establishing that search reports are discoverable. For such authority, please see Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure (“TBMP”) § 414(6); Fisons Ltd. v. Capability Brown Ltd., 209 USPQ 167, 170 (TTAB 1980); and Goodyear
Tire & Rubber Co. v. Tyrco Industries, 186 USPQ 207, 208 (TTAB 1975). Please confirm that you will produce all trademark search reports relating to the Marks. Response: Applicant confirms that it will produce documents responsive to the Opposers’ requests within its possession, custody, or control to the extent that such documents are not privileged and relevant to these proceedings
11. RFP No. 7 seeks documents relating to opinions concerning the Marks. You have confirmed that no such opinions, or documents relating to such opinions, exists. Response: Applicant submits that no documents exist that are responsive to Interrogatory No. 7.
12. RFP No. 14 seeks documents relating to Mixfit’s decision to attempt to register its Marks. You have confirmed that no such documents exist. Response: Applicant submits that no documents exist that are responsive to Interrogatory No. 14.
13. RFP Nos. 19-22 and 50 seek documents relating Opposers and Opposers’ Marks, including documents showing that an opinion was given regarding possible conflicts with Opposers’ Marks, and copies of any non-privileged statements or opinions relating to Opposer or Opposers’ Mark and the Applied-For Marks. You have confirmed that no such documents exist. Response: Applicant submits that no documents exist that are responsive RFP Nos. 19-22 and 50.
Jessica S. Rutherford FERDINAND IP, LLC December 29, 2020
14. RFP No. 36 seeks documents sufficient to show the name, job title and job description of
every person involved in the development, design, marketing and distribution of Mixfit’s goods and services. You have agreed to search for and produce responsive documents that identify and describe each such person, in addition to the two individuals identified in Mixfit’s Response to Opposers’ Interrogatory No. 1. Response:
David Phillips Mixfit, Inc. Busines Development Director

rules of constructions, or instructions that are broader than those set forth in the Trademark Trial
and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure, Section 402.02 or otherwise.
4. Applicant objects to the Requests to the extent the Requests’ instructions are
incoherent insofar as they are applicable to interrogatories, and not documents requests.

impermissibly vague and/or ambiguous or require unreasonable efforts or expense on the part of
Applicant.
6. Applicant objects to the Requests to the extent they require Applicant to answer

First Request for Production of Documents and Things (“Requests”).

rules of constructions, or instructions that are broader than those set forth in the Trademark Trial
and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure, Section 402.02 or otherwise.
4. Applicant objects to the Requests to the extent the Requests’ instructions are
incoherent insofar as they are applicable to interrogatories, and not documents requests.
