`APPLICANTS BRIEF
`
`I.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`Appiicant hereby appeals from the Examining Attorney’s refusal to register the
`
`above-identified mark as was set forth in Final Office Action dated September 15, 2005) and
`
`respectfully requests that the Trademark Trial Appeal Board reverse the Examining Attorney’s
`
`decision.
`
`II.
`
`MARK SOUGHT TO BE REGISTERED
`
`Applicant seeks registration on the Principai Register of its mark:
`
`C)‘ Scripps
`
`SCRIPPS and Design
`
`for Educationai services, namely, conducting seminars, conferences and workshops in the field
`
`
`
`ofhealth care, in International Class 41 ; health care services in Class 42.
`
`III.
`
`ISSUE
`
`The Examining Attorney, in the Office Action dated September 15, 2005, made final
`
`refusal to register the present appiication on the basis that there is a iikelihood of confusion
`
`between Applicanfs mark and the foliowirig prior Registrations:
`
`Registration No. 2,099,045 for the mark THE SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE &
`
`Design
`
`Sci-IIPPS
`
`[1 F. 5 r.\- 5: 1: is
`
`Tusrrrtrz
`
`E
`1]
`
`Registration No. 1,546,838 for the mark SCRIPPS IMMUNOLOGY REFERENCE
`
`LABORATORY.
`
`The issue is whether there is a likeiihood of confusion between Appiicanfs mark,
`
`SCREPPS and Design and the two prior registrations, each owned by the same Registrant, The
`
`Scripps Research Institute of San Diego, California (“Registrant”).
`
`IV.
`
`BRIEF REVIEW OF RELEVANT HISTORY
`
`Elien Browning Scripps estabiished applicanfs parent organization, Scripps Memoriai
`
`Hospital, in 1924. Throughout the subsequent 75 years, numerous entities and affiiiates have
`
`been created by this parent not—for-profit organization, many of which incorporate the term
`
`“Scripps” into their trade names and trademarks.
`
`In 1977, the Research Institute of Scripps
`
`Clinic was esrabiished, which became a separate corporation under the Registranfs name in
`
`1991.
`
`In 1993, the Applicant was established pursuant to a merger of various affiliates of the
`
`descendants of Scripps Memorial Hospital.
`
`See printout of relevant
`
`information from
`
`Appiicanfs website, accessible at mVw’.scrippsheaith.org, attached hereto as Exhibit A, and
`
`printout of relevant information from the website of Registrant, accessibie at www.scripps.edu,
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit B.
`
`The attached website pages of the parties demonstrate that the parties are clearly separate
`
`
`
`entities, despite their common history, which came to a close in 1993. For at least 13 years, the
`
`parties have coexistcd in the same city, without any challenge or dispute between them related to
`
`their respective marks. Applicant and Registrant have conducted their respective businesses and
`
`have resided in San Diego, California; the distinctly different nature of their services, as well as
`
`the distinctly separate channels of trade, has prevented the likelihood of consumer confusion for
`
`more than a decade.
`
`V.
`
`APPLICABLE LAW — LIKELIHOGD OF CONFUSION
`
`The standards for determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion are set forth in
`
`Application of E. 3. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. $973). The
`
`following du Pont factors are relevant to the analysis of likelihood of confusion in this case:
`
`1.
`
`The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their cntirctics as to
`
`appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression;
`
`2.
`
`The similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the services as described in an
`
`application or registration in connection with which a prior mark is in use;
`
`3.
`
`The similarity or dissirnilarity of established,
`
`iikelywto-continue trade
`
`channels;
`
`4.
`
`5.
`
`The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made; and
`
`The extent of potential confusion.
`
`Aitnough ail of the above~referenced du Pont factors are relevant
`
`to the issue of
`
`likelihood of confusion, one factor can be so compelling that it alone can be dispositive of the
`
`issue of likelihood of confusion. Keilogg Co. v. Pacl<’em Enterprises. Inc, 21 USPQ2d 1142
`
`(Fed. Cir. 1991).
`
`A.
`
`Dissimilarity of the Marks
`
`One important factor set forth by glmumligrit in determining likelihood of confusion is the
`
`similarity or dissimilarity oi‘ the marks in issue. “Similarity or dissimilarity” according to do
`
`393}; requires an analysis of the marks in their entireties, as to appearance, sound, connotation,
`
`and commercial impression. While it may be appropriate in some cases when determining the
`
`DJ
`
`
`
`question of iikelihood of Confusion to give greater weight to the important or “dominant” parts of
`
`a composite mark, “a disclaimer does not remove the disclaimed matter from the mark. The mark
`
`must still be regarded as a whole, including the disclaimeci matter, in evaluating sirniiarity to
`
`other marks.” See T.M.E.P. 1213.10 (2002 rev.).
`
`in this case, the additional descriptive and/or generic terms (“health,” “research institute”
`
`and “ir.nm.unology reference laboratory”) added to each of the marks provide additional and
`
`valuable information to the consumer about the nature of the parties’ respective services. These
`
`terms should not be discarded when comparing the overali impressions of the marks.
`
`Further, as shown in Exhibit A, the term “Scripps” is a family surname. Eilen Browning
`
`Scripps established Applicant’s parent organization, Scripps Memorial Hospital,
`
`in 1924.
`
`Surnames have been placed by the common law into that category of non-inherently distinctive
`
`terms that require proof of secondary meaning for protection. See McCarthy on Trademarks,
`
`Chapter 13, §’ersonaE Names as Marks (1997~2003). As a result,
`
`the term “Scripps” is not
`
`inherently distinctive, at not as strong and “dominant” as a trademark as the Examining Attorney
`
`concludes.
`
`Viewed in their entireties, Applicant’s mark SCRIPPS & Design, when compared to the
`
`Registrant’s marks THE SCRIPPS RESEARCH INSTITUTE & Design and SCRIPPS
`
`IMMUNOLOGY REFERENCE LABORATORY, are ciearly dissimilar in appearance, sound,
`
`and meaning. This factor alone weighs heavily against a finding of likeiihood of confusion
`
`between the marks.
`
`3.
`
`Dissimilarity of the Services
`
`A significant factor set forth by Q; in the likelihood of confusion analysis is the
`
`dissirniiarity of services being provided in connection with the marks in question. Appiicant has
`
`applied for SCRIPPS & Design in connection with “educational services, namely, conducting
`
`seminars, conferences and workshops in the fietd of health care,” in lnternationai Class 41, and
`
`“health care services,” in Enternational Ciass 42. The Registrant’s marks cited in the Office
`
`Action have been registered for “scientific and rnedicai research services,” in International Class
`
`
`
`42.
`
`In the Office Action, the Examining Attorney summarily concludes that the Applicant’s
`
`and Registranfs services are in reiated fieids. i.e. “the health care fieid,” and therefore the use of
`
`Appiicant’s Mark is likely to cause confusion. Applicant respectfully disagrees with the
`
`Examining Attorney’s sweeping Conclusion. The health care field is vast and varied, and
`
`includes countless niche fields that have Very iittle in common with one another. As explained
`
`betow, Registrant’.s services are clearly distinguishable from those provided by Applicant.
`
`a.
`
`R:-:gistrant’s Services.
`
`Registrant’s services, as identified in the cited registrations, are for scientific and medicai
`
`research services. As supported by the attached copy of the Registranfs website, Registranfs
`
`services are for research in the fieids of science and bioinedicine,
`
`in addition to laboratory
`
`services. Please note the following:
`
`The Scripps Research institute, one of the country’s largest, private, nomprofit research.
`
`organizations, has aiways stood at the forefront of basic biomedical science, a vital segment of
`
`medical research. .
`
`.
`
`.
`
`Particularly significant
`
`is the Institute’s study of the basic structure and design of
`
`biological molecuies; in this arena TSRI is among a handful of the world’s ieading centers.
`
`The bulk of the lnstitute’s funding is derived from the National institutes of Health and
`
`other
`
`federal agencies...coliaborative industrial partnerships with leading pharmaceutical
`
`companies provide additional
`
`funding in several areas key to the organization’s research
`
`objectives.
`
`Registrant strives to create “basic Ecnowiedge in the biosciences” and “fundamentai
`
`scientific advances.” Registranfs services are focused on “basic structure and design of
`
`biomedical moiecules” and employs professors, postdoctoral fellows, and laboratory technicians
`
`on staff to perform these basic scientific research functions on the molecular level. Registranfs
`
`services are funded by various federal agencies and leading pharmaceutical companies, which
`
`are interested in advancing molecular, rather than organisrnal, scientific research. See printout of
`
`‘J!
`
`
`
`Registrar1t’s website, attached hereto as Exhibit C.
`
`It
`
`is clear from the Registrant’s website that its biomedical research services are not
`
`related to patient health care.
`
`In fact, Registrant does not provide patient care at all. The
`
`Registrant’s laboratory services are unrelated the Applicant’s hospital and health care services
`
`provided to patients; therefore, confusion between the parties’ marks is unlikely.
`
`b.
`
`Applicai-it’s Services.
`
`In contrast
`
`to the Registranfs molecular-level, biomedical
`
`research services,
`
`the
`
`Appiicant provides services uniquely related to the professional health care of patients. See
`
`printout of Applicantfs website. attached hereto as Exhibit D. Applicar1t’s educationai services
`
`are of interest to professional health care givers, such as primary care and speciaiized medical
`
`doctors and nurses, and to patients as well. The purpose of the Applicant’s educational services
`
`is to assist professional health care providers in advancing their understanding of their field,
`
`namely, providing health care directly to patients, and to provide health related information
`
`directly to the patient. Applicant’s health care services are of interest to patients, and are
`
`provided in a hospital or doctor’s office setting. As mentioned in the attached website printout,
`
`Applicant provides care to patients at 11 clinic locations in San Diego.
`
`c.
`
`Comparison.
`
`Upon comparison, it is clear that the parties’ provide distinctly different types of services
`
`under their respective marks. Registranfs science and research related services are used in
`
`scientific laboratory and research facilities and are conducted by staff scientists,
`
`laboratory
`
`technicians and professors. However, Applicant’s services are used by hands—on health care
`
`providers and patients who attend the educational seminars, and by patients who use Appiicanfs
`
`facilities for heaith care services.
`
`Various federal agencies and leading pharmaceutical companies fund Registrant’s
`
`services. This contrasts sharply with Applicants consumers, who are heaith care providers or
`
`peopie who are in need of treatment. Registrant provides its services for the specific goal of
`
`
`
`furthering iaboratory science and biomedical discovery. Applicant provides its services to iteaith
`
`care providers and patients in order to advance their education in health care provision, and to
`
`patients in need of care. Therefore, Applicant’s and R.egistrant’s services are used for entirety
`
`different purposes and are directed toward different users, with a View toward accomplishing
`
`completely unrelated tasks and goals. Accordingly,
`
`the respective services are significantly
`
`dissimilar and weigh heavily against a finding of likelihood of confusion.
`
`The distinct differences between the respective services of the Appiicant and the
`
`Registrant require, in and of itself, a finding that there is no likeiihood of confusion. Kellogg Co.
`
`v. Pael<’em Enterprises, Inc., 21 USPQ2d 1142 (Fed. Cir. 1991).
`
`C.
`
`Dissimilarity of Channels of Trade
`
`The Registranfis website indicates that the Registrant solely provides scientific and
`
`biomedical research services for the government and for ieading pharmaceutical companies. See
`
`Exhibit E. Converseiy, Applieanfs services will be provided directly to health care providers or
`
`patients at the health facility. The users of Applicanfs services will choose to go to the
`
`educational seminars or receive health care treatment, and will therefore understand the exact
`
`nature and purpose of the service they are receiving and, most importantiy, the source of that
`
`service. Therefore, since both the Applicant’s and the Registranfs services are targeted to
`
`different end-users, there is not any tikelihood of confusion between their respective marks due
`
`to the distinct nature of their channels of trade.
`
`It
`
`is highly unlikely that the consumer of
`
`Registrants services, such as a high-level biomedical research scientist, would be confused and
`
`iiiadvcrtciltly seek Applic-ant‘s faciiities for patient health care treatment.
`
`D.
`
`Extent of Potential Confusion
`
`The final relevant dywfjgg factor is whether there has been any actual confusion regarding
`
`source of the parties’ services, and what is the extent of that potential confusion. The Applicant
`
`submits that, to its knowledge and belief, it does not know of any actual confusion to date,
`
`despite at least 13 years of continuous peacefui coexistence of the parties in the relatively small
`
`community of San Diego. Moreover, because the parties’ respective services are so different, in
`
`
`
`the event
`
`that one party’s purchaser encounter the other party’s services (although highly
`
`improbable), the mistake would be readily apparent, and confusion regarding source would not
`
`occur.
`
`The Registrant and the Applicant, although legaliy separate entities in highiy differing
`
`businesses, have worked together, and continue to work together, to maintain the vaiue of their
`
`separate marks by curbing any potential confusion. Registrant and Appiicant do not have any
`
`dispute related to each other’s trademark use. Neither Registrant nor Applicant has challenged
`
`or opposed the other’s use of its mark, despite the Eengthy 13-year period of coexistence in the
`
`same city.
`
`It is well settled that “when those most familiar with use in the marketplace and most
`
`interested in precluding confusion enter agreements designed to avoid it, the scales of evidence
`
`are clearly tilted.
`
`It is at least difficult to maintain a subjective View that confusion will occur
`
`when those directly concerned say it won’t.” See E.l. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F. 2d
`
`$357, 1362 (C.C.?.A. 1973).
`
`V1.
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`Applicant submits that for these may reasons set forth above, SCRIPPS & Design is
`
`registerable on the Principal Register. Applicant believes that the present application is proper in
`
`ail respects and requests that the Mark be published for opposition.

`
`SCRIPPS HISTORY
`
`(1890-—2000)
`
`The history of the five acute~care hospitals, two convalescent hospitals, home health care
`services, affiliated physicians, outpatient facilities and several affiliated businesses that comprise
`Scripps began with the formation of Mercy Hospital in 1890 and Scripps Hospital and Scripps
`Metabolic Clinic in 1924.
`
`Overview
`
`Regarded as San Diego's premier health care provider, Scripps is a comtnunity~based health care
`deliveiy network that includes over 2,600 affiliated physicians, five acute~care and two skilled
`nursing hospitals, outpatient facilities, home health care services, an extensive ambulatory care
`network and associated support services. Scripps is at the foreiiont of health care reform,
`pioneering a "patient first" health care delivery system dedicated to continuous improvement and
`the well being of patients and the community at large. As a result of the July 2000 reaffiliation
`with Scripps Clinic, Scripps Health now has approximately 10,000 employees and also cares for
`patients at ll clinic locations throughout San Diego County.
`
`History
`
`The Scripps legacy dates back to 1924 when Ellen Browning Seripps founded both Scrlpps
`Memorial Hospital and Scripps Metabolic Clinic in La Jolla. Meanwhile, that same year, St.
`Joseph's Infinnary ‘cocaine Mercy Hospital and moved to its present location on Fifth Avenue in
`Hillcrest. Today, the Sctipps network includes five acute—care hospitals: Scripps Mercy Hospitai
`in Hillerest (San Diego's oldest hospital, founded in 1890), Scripps Green Hospital in La Jolla,
`Seripps Memorial Hospital Chula Vista, Scripps Memorial Hospital Encinitas and Scripps
`Memorial Hospital La Jolla; two convalescent hospitals--Scripps Ocean View Convalescent
`Hospital in Encinitas and Scripps Torrey Pines Convalescent Hospital in La Jolla; ambulatory
`care sites, affiliated physician offices and home health care services.
`’

`
`The Sisters of Mercy open St. Joseph's Dispensary on the corner of Sixth Avenue and
`Market Street in Downtown San Diego. The hospital moves to Eighth & University
`Avenues in Hillcrest the next year.
`
`1924
`
`Ellen Browning Scripps establishes the 44~bed Scripps Hospital and Scripps
`Metabolic Clinic on frospect Street in La Jolla.

`innings date to the 1955 establishment of Scripps Clinic and Research
`Foundation. when a major portion of the Clinic's limited reserves were committed
`to the construction of a new research facility and to the recruitment of top
`biomedical scientists.
`
`in 1961. the institution recruited pioneering immunologist Frank Dixon and four of
`his colleagues from the University of Pittsburgh. researchers who were then
`contributing insightful observations on the causes and progression of

`investigations of the pathogenesis of human disease.
`
`In 1977 the multiple research programs that had developed were formally drawn
`together into the Research Institute of Scripps Clinic, as it had come to be
`named, and Kylie mid-19803 laboratory space had grown to some 300,000
`square feet.
`}or programs in cell and molecular hm and synthetic and
`bloorganic chemistry had developed. in addition to e
`in immunology and
`clinically oriented lnves

`established at the Institu e in the 1992.

`Sjogren's syndrome. sleep disorders. and diseases involving neural and

`
`Among other areas of research that cross specific disease lines are those that
