`
`Sir:
`
`In response to the Office Action issued December 15, 2004, Applicant amends the above
`
`application as follows:
`
`Please delete the address of the applicant set forth in the application and substitute the
`
`following:
`
`———1-1, Mikage-cho, Shunan—shi, YAMAGUCI-I1, JAPAN .---
`
`In addition to the above, Applicant amends the identification of goods as follows:
`
`Please also delete “dental prosthetics” from International Class 5.
`
`Please insert the following wording in International Class 10:
`
`---DENTAL PROSTI-IETICS FOR USE IN THE MANUFACTURE OF
`
`DENTAL BRIDGE, DENT.AL COPING, DENTAL CROWN, DENTAL INLAY,
`
`DENTAL ONLAY, DENTAL CORE DENTAL AND DENTURE.---
`
`Please also amend the application by reclassifying “mothproofing preparations” from
`
`International Class 10 to International Class 5.
`
`

`
`REMARKS
`
`This is in response to the Office Action issued December 15, 2004.
`
`Applicant has complied with the Examiner’s requirement to reclassify “dental
`
`prosthetics” from International Class 5 to International Class 10. While Applicant notes that the
`
`wording “dental prosthetics” was found acceptable, this wording has been supplemented by the
`
`above amendment with additional terms. While Applicant believes that the additional wording is
`
`acceptable, the Examiner is encouraged to contact the undersigned to discuss any changes which
`
`might be required to bring the application into compliance.
`
`Applicant has reclassified, but not amended the wording “mothproofing preparations” as
`
`required by the last Office Action. Attached herewith are copies of Registration No. 2,691,884
`
`and 2,708,236, both of which employ in the identification of goods the wording “mothproofing
`
`preparations.” In View of the attached, Applicant submits that the current wording is acceptable.
`
`However, the Examiner is encouraged to contact the undersigned to discuss any changes which
`
`might be required to bring the application into compliance.
`
`Registration has been refused under Section 2(e)(2) of the Trademark Act on the grounds
`
`that the mark is primarily geographically descriptive of Applicant’s goods. In an effort to
`
`overcome this rejection, Applicant amended the application to seek registration under Section
`
`2(f). This amendment was supported by a Declaration attesting to the many years of substantially
`
`continuous and exclusive use of the mark in commerce. In the accompanying response, it was
`
`pointed out that the mark had been in use for at least one of the goods identified in the
`
`application and that the mark also served as Applicant’s trade name that had been used in
`
`

`
`
`
`association with a variety of goods identified in the application for at least five years prior to the
`
`filing date of the amendment.
`
`The Examiner found insufficient Applicant’s claim of distinctiveness and continued the
`
`rejection under Section 2(e)(2). According to the Examiner, a claim of distinctiveness under
`
`Section 2(f) requires use “as a mar ” and trade name use is not use as a mark.
`
`Reconsideration of this ground of refusal is requested.
`
`In support of this position, Applicant submits the following:
`
`1.
`
`A partial translation of an excerpt of Applicant's Company Register showing
`
`Applicant’s change of address;
`
`2.
`
`A printout of a Yahoo People Search showing 45 telephone listing for individuals
`
`with the Tokuyama surname;
`
`3.
`
`A photograph showing trademark and trade name use of the TOKUYAMA mark
`
`on one of Applicant’s products included in this application;
`
`To establish a prima facie case for refusal to register a mark as primarily geographically
`
`descriptive, the Examiner must show that:
`
`(1)
`
`(2)
`
`(3)
`
`the primary significance of the mark is geographic (TMEP §1210.02(b));
`
`purchasers would be likely to make a goods/place or services/place
`association, i.e., to think that the goods or services originate in the
`geographic place identified in the mark (TMEP §§12l0.04 et seq.); and
`
`the mark identifies the geographic origin of the goods or services (TMEP
`§l210.03).
`
`To support a refusal to register geographic matter, the Trademark Act requires that the
`
`mark be primarily geographic; that is, that its primary significance be that of a geographic
`
`

`
`
`
`location. 15 U.S.C. §§ l052(e)(2) and (3). The fact that a mark might have geographical
`
`significance is not determinative. The geographic significance might not be the primary
`
`significance where the geographic location is obscure and would not be recognized for its
`
`geographic significance. In In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 824 F.2d
`
`957, 3 USPQ2d 1450 (Fed. Cir. 1987), it was held that the primary significance of VIT'I'EL was
`
`not geographic since the evidence was insufficient to establish that public in United States would
`
`perceive VITTEL as the name of a place where cosmetic products originate. The term
`
`WESTPOINT was held not primarily geographic because the primary significance of
`
`WESTPOINT is as the name of the United States Military Academy rather than the town in New
`
`York); In re Norfolk Wallpaper, Inc., 216 USPQ 903 (TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL
`
`BOARD 1983). If the most prominent meaning or significance of the mark is not geographic, or
`
`if the mark creates a separate readily understood meaning that is not geographic, then a refusal
`
`under §2(e)(2) is not appropriate.
`
`While Applicant amended the mark to seek registration under Section 2(f), it has never
`
`accepted the Examiner’s finding that the primary significance of the mark to the consumer would
`
`be its geographic significance. At the time the application was filed, the mark identified a town in
`
`Japan, but there is nothing in the record to establish that the location was well-known in the
`
`United States or that it is even known at all. Consistent with the courts holding in In re Societe
`
`Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., Supra, there is no evidence to establish that public
`
`in United States would perceive TOKUYAMA as the name of a place where dental products
`
`originate. It is just as likely that the public would assume that TOKUYAMA was a Japanese
`
`

`
`
`
`word or a Japanese surname. On this latter point, Applicant has made of record telephone
`
`directory listings showing that TOKUYAMA is a surname.
`
`This request for reconsideration is based in part on the significant new fact that since the
`
`date of filing, TOKUYAMA is no longer the name of a city in Japan. The area previously
`
`defined as TOKUYAMA has been consolidated with several other smaller municipalities and is
`
`now known as Shunan-shi. Given the change of name, the mark no longer identifies a
`
`geographical location and hence the primary significance of the mark is NOT the geographic
`
`significance and the goods no longer originate from the place name.
`
`In discussions with undersigned counseled, the Examiner indicated that there may be
`
`“residual" geographic significance to the TOKUYAMA designation. Without acknowledging the
`
`soundness of this position, the burden would be on the Examiner to make of record evidence that
`
`there is any “residual” significance. This evidence must extend beyond a mere showing that the
`
`TOKUYAMA designation once identified a city. Absent some evidence that the public would
`
`recognize its geographic significance, it is just as likely that the marks would be perceived as a
`
`surname or some Japanese word.
`
`With respect to the Section 2(1) claim, Applicant has submitted a photograph of product
`
`sold in the United States employing the TOKUYAMA mark and trade name. First, this is
`
`evidence that the mark is in use in commerce. The use of the mark in connection with certain
`
`goods identified in the application should be sufficient to support the previously submitted
`
`Section 2(t) Declaration. Further, as can be seen on the submitted specimen, the TOKUYAMA
`
`CORP. trade name appears prominently on the product and in such a manner that it would
`
`

`
`
`
`identify the Applicant as the source of the goods. Evidence of such use should be adequate
`
`evidence for purposed of a claim under Section 2(fi.
`
`In as much as TOKUYAMA is no longer a geographic location, Applicant’s previous
`
`amendment to section 2(f) has been rendered unnecessary and the Section 2(f) claim should be
`
`deleted.
`
`As Applicant has complied with all of the requirements of the Office Action issued
`
`December 15, 2003, it is respectfully submitted that the instant application is in condition for
`
`publication.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`
