APPLICANT: Uncle Abies Deli Inc.

CORRESPONDENT’S REFERENCE/DOCKETNO: N/A CORRESPONDENT E-MAIL ADDRESS: [email protected]

OFFICE ACTION

STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUSTRECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THEISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW. ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 1/13/2011

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicantmust 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.

SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION

Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark(s) inU.S. Registration No(s). 3180519 3180520 3180518 3137271. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.§1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the enclosed registration(s).

Trademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered markthat it is likely that a potential consumer would be confused or mistaken or deceived as to the source of thegoods and/or services of the applicant and registrant. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). The court in In re E. I. duPont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973) listed the principal factors to beconsidered when determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d). See TMEP§1207.01. In this case, the following factors are the most relevant: similarity of the marks, similarity of the goodsand/or services, and similarity of trade channels of the goods and/or services. See In re Opus One, Inc., 60USPQ2d 1812 (TTAB 2001); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc. , 59 USPQ2d 1593 (TTAB 1999); In reAzteca Rest. Enters., Inc., 50 USPQ2d 1209 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. Similar Marks The question is not whether people will confuse the marks, but whether the marks will confuse people intobelieving that the goods and/or services they identify come from the same source. In re West Point-Pepperell, Inc., 468 F.2d 200, 201, 175 USPQ 558, 558-59 (C.C.P.A. 1972); TMEP §1207.01(b). For thatreason, the test of likelihood of confusion is not whether the marks can be distinguished when subjected toa side-by-side comparison. The question is whether the marks create the same overall impression. SeeRecot, Inc. v. M.C. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1329-30, 54 USPQ2d 1894, 1899 (Fed. Cir. 2000); Visual Info.Inst., Inc. v. Vicon Indus. Inc., 209 USPQ 179, 189 (TTAB 1980). The focus is on the recollection of theaverage purchaser who normally retains a general rather than specific impression of trademarks. Chemetron Corp. v. Morris Coupling & Clamp Co., 203 USPQ 537, 540-41 (TTAB 1979); Sealed AirCorp. v. Scott Paper Co., 190 USPQ 106, 108 (TTAB 1975); TMEP §1207.01(b). Applicant has applied to register “TRIPLE BYPASS SANDWICH”. Registrant’s marks are “SINGLEBYPASS BURGER” “DOUBLE BYPASS BURGER” “TRIPLE BYPASS BURGER” “QUADRUPLEBYPASS BURGER”. Marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where there are similar terms or phrases or similarparts of terms or phrases appearing in both applicant’s and registrant’s mark. See Crocker Nat’l Bank v.Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, 228 USPQ 689 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian ImperialBank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490, 1 USPQ2d 1813 (Fed. Cir. 1987)(COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986)(21 CLUB and “21” CLUB (stylized)); In re Corning Glass Works, 229 USPQ 65 (TTAB 1985)(CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS); In re Collegian Sportswear Inc., 224 USPQ 174 (TTAB 1984)

(COLLEGIAN OF CALIFORNIA and COLLEGIENNE); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558(TTAB 1983) (MILTRON and MILLTRONICS); In re BASF A.G., 189 USPQ 424 (TTAB 1975)(LUTEXAL and LUTEX); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii). In this case, the respective marks share the identical wording “BYPASS”. The mere addition of the word“TRIPLE” merely reinforces the shared wording, and thus does not obviate the similarity between themarks, which also use similar numerical designations to reinforce the shared wording. Further, thewording “SANDWICH” is descriptive and requires disclaimer, and disclaimed matter is typically lesssignificant or less dominant when comparing marks. See In re Dixie Rests., Inc., 105 F.3d 1405, 1407, 41USPQ2d 1531, 1533-34 (Fed. Cir. 1997); In re Nat’l Data Corp. , 753 F.2d 1056, 1060, 224 USPQ 749,752 (Fed. Cir. 1985); TMEP §1207.01(b)(viii), (c)(ii). If the goods and/or services of the respective parties are “similar in kind and/or closely related,” as theyare in this case, the degree of similarity between the marks required to support a finding of likelihood ofconfusion is not as great as would be required with diverse goods and/or services. In re J.M. OriginalsInc., 6 USPQ2d 1393, 1394 (TTAB 1987); see Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d 1238, 1242, 73USPQ2d 1350, 1354 (Fed. Cir. 2004); TMEP §1207.01(b). Related Goods and/or Services The goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihoodof confusion. See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480(C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i). Rather, it is sufficient that the goods and/or services are related insome manner and/or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encounteredby the same purchasers under circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goodsand/or services come from a common source. In re Total Quality Group, Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476(TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080,1086-87, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984). Applicant’s goods and/or services include “sandwiches .” Registrant’s goods and/or services include“hamburger sandwiches ” “Prepared food for consumption on and off the premises, namely, restaurantmenu items in the nature of hamburger sandwiches, and cheeseburger sandwiches.” The respective goods and/or services are related because they are identical with respect to sandwiches. Inthis case, applicant’s goods and/or services are identified broadly enough to include registrant’s morespecific type of sandwiches. Therefore, it is presumed that the application encompasses all goods and/orservices of the type described, including those in the registrant’s more specific identification, that theymove in all normal channels of trade, and that they are available to all potential customers. See TMEP§1207.01(a)(iii); see, e.g., In re Americor Health Servs., 1 USPQ2d 1670, 1670-71 (TTAB 1986); In reEquitable Bancorporation, 229 USPQ 709, 710 (TTAB 1986). Conclusion Given the similarity of the marks and the goods and/or services, prospective customers are likely toconfuse the source of the respective goods and/or services. Accordingly, registration of applicant’s markis properly refused under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act. Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) bysubmitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.

If applicant chooses to respond to the refusal to register, applicant must also respond to the requirement(s)set forth below: DISCLAIMER REQUIRED Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “SANDWICH” apart from the mark as shown because itmerely describes applicant’s “sandwich” goods. See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a). The computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardizedformat for a disclaimer. TMEP §1213.08(a)(i). The following is the standard format used by the Office:

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “SANDWICH” apart from the mark as shown. TMEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983). A disclaimer does not physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark, but rather is a writtenstatement that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to the disclaimed wording and/or design separateand apart from the mark as shown COMMENTS If applicant has questions about its application or this Office action, please contact the assigned trademarkexamining attorney at the telephone number below. TEAS PLUS APPLICANTS MUST SUBMIT DOCUMENTS ELECTRONICALLY OR SUBMIT FEE: Applicants who filed their application online using the reduced-fee TEAS Plus application must continueto submit certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office actions.
