`
`

`
`Reguest for Reconsideration
`
`The Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration of the final office action issued on January
`16, 2008. Applicant has filed a Notice of Appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board.
`
`1.
`
`Revision of Description of Goods
`
`The examining attorney has requested clarification of the identification of goods. Specifically,
`the examining attorney has asked the Applicant to specify what comprises its audio/video
`system. The Applicant’s audio/video system is comprised of an audio visual control processor
`with a graphical user interface. Accordingly, the Applicant has revised the description of goods
`as follows:
`
`Class 9: Audio visual control processor with a graphic user interface for use in surgical
`operating suites.
`
`This revision also resolves the likelihood of confusion issue, as described in more detail below.
`
`II.
`
`Likelihood of Confusion Refusal — Section 2(d)
`
`The examining attorney has refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`§l052(d), on the basis of U.S. Registration No. 3074255 for the mark AVERA (stylized) for the
`following goods:
`
`Laptop computer, notebook computer, portable computer, personal computer; computer
`peripherals, namely, printer for use with computer, computer monitor, floppy disk drive,
`Universal Serial Bus floppy disc featuring operating software, computer mouse, computer
`keyboard, computer memory storage device, namely, flash memory disc, wireless Local
`Area Network card for portable computer; computer program for system recovery; bag
`and case for computer; battery for notebook computer.
`
`The cited mark, however, should be accorded a limited scope of protection, and said scope does
`not extend to the Applicant’s highly specialized and distinguishable goods.
`
`A.
`
`The cited mark should be accorded a limited scope of protection
`
`The cited mark should be accorded a limited scope of protection because there are numerous
`third party coexisting uses and registrations of AVERA marks. See, e.g., below and TARR
`records in Exhibit A:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`AVERA
`PHARMACEUTICALS
`
`2925786
`
`

`
`
`
`AVERA
`
`2925785
`
`PHARMACEUTICALS, INC.
`
`
`
`
`
`In addition, there are numerous inactive registrations and applications that were approved by the
`USPTO that were coexisting in the past. See, e. g., below and TARR records in Exhibit B:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The USPTO has consistently permitted unrelated third parties to register AVERA marks and
`coexist on the Register. The Applicant should be permitted to coexist as well, especially in view
`of the highly specialized nature of its goods and the lack of overlap with the registrant’s goods.
`
`The Applicant notes that a Google search for “AVERA” retrieves over 1.5 million hits, which
`further demonstrates the general dilution of this mark and the fact that consumers are not going
`to associate AVERA marks with a single source. See Exhibit C.
`
`B.
`
`The goods in the cited registration are unrelated to the Applicant’s goods
`
`The goods listed in the cited registration are unrelated to the Applicant’s goods. The cited
`registration covers laptop and personal computers, as well as a limited number of peripherals
`used in association with the laptop and personal computers: printer, monitor, keyboard, mouse,
`floppy disk drive, USB disc, flash memory disc, and wireless LAN card. These goods are
`wholly unrelated to Applicant’s audio visual control processor. Further, Applicant’s goods are
`highly specialized for surgical operating suites and are sold only to hospitals. There is simply no
`overlap between the Applicant’s and the registrant’s goods, nor is there any connection between
`them.
`
`With respect to the Applicant’s prior identification of goods (which was much broader than the
`revised description), the examiner stated that the Applicant’s goods and the registrant’s goods are
`both for “electronic products.” (See p. 5.) The registrant, however, should not be accorded
`rights with respect to 111 “electronic products” — this is far too expansive, especially in view of
`the numerous unrelated third party uses and registrations of AVERA marks. The registrant’s
`
`

`
`zone of protection should be limited to the goods listed in its identification of goods — laptops,
`PCs and associated peripherals — and not every “electronic product” in the world.
`
`The examining attorney also attached several registrations that purportedly listed both the
`Applicant’s and the registrant’s goods. A review of these print-outs, however, did not disclose
`the asserted overlap. In any event, the Applicant has further narrowed its identification of goods
`to “audio visual control processors” and a search of USPTO records did not retrieve any
`applications or registrations listing both the Applicant’s revised goods and the cited registrant’s
`goods. In fact, there are no applications or registrations containing the Applicant’s goods
`because they are so highly specialized.
`
`In sum, there is no overlap between the Applicant’s goods and the registrant’s goods, and the
`Applicant should be permitted to coexist with the registrant and all of the other owners of
`AVERA marks.
`
`C.
`
`The remaining factors favor the Applicant
`
`As set forth in detail in the Applicant’s office action response dated December 26, 2007 (which
`is incorporated herein by reference), an analysis of the remaining likelihood of confusion factors
`indicates that no confusion is likely. The marks themselves are different — the cited mark is a
`highly stylized presentation of AVERA with an inverted triangle design element, none of which
`is shared by the Applicant’s mark, which is further distinguished by the letters HD and its own
`unique stylization and design elements. The purchasers of the Applicant’s AV control
`processors for surgical operating suites are highly sophisticated purchasers who are buying
`expensive goods in large quantities for a specialized purpose. These purchasers simply will not
`be confused; they will know exactly what they are buying and from whom. The laptop and
`personal computers in the cited registration are presumably purchased by the general public who
`would never be exposed to the Applicant’s highly specialized goods, and, as such, there is no
`possibility of confusion. The channels of distribution also are different, with the registrant’s
`goods presumably being sold in retail computer stores and the Applicant’s goods being sold
`though hospital supply channels. The conditions surrounding the marketing and sale of these
`products are such that they would never be encountered by the same purchasers.
`
`In view of all of the foregoing, the likelihood of confusion refusal should be withdrawn and the
`application approved for publication.
