`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE:
`
`Applicant is requesting reconsideration ofa final refusal mailed October 18, 2009.
`
`After careful consideration of the law and facts of the case, the examining attorney must deny the request
`for reconsideration and adhere to the final action as written since no new facts or reasons have been
`presented that are significant and compelling with regard to the point at issue.
`
`Applicant again based its argument that the term “PREVENTIVE PLAN” is not descriptive on the fact that
`the Office has, in the past, registered the term “PLAN” on the Principal Register without a disclaimer.
`However, the case law is clear that third-party registrations are not conclusive on the question of
`descriptiveness. Each case must be considered on its own merits. An applied-for mark that is merely
`descriptive does not become registrable simply because other similar marks appear on the register. In re
`Scholastic Testing Serv., Inc., 196 USPQ 517 (TTAB 1977); TMEP §l209.03(a).
`
`On the other hand, the Office has also issued numerous third party registrations for similar services in
`which the term “plan” was disclaimed. See attached third party registrations.
`In this regard, third-party
`registrations, where the relevant word or term has been disclaimed for similar or related services, are
`probative evidence on the issue of descriptiveness. See Sweats Fashions, Inc. v. Pannill Knitting Co., 833
`F.2d 1560, 1564-65, 4 USPQ2d 1793, 1797 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In re Box Solutions Corp., 79 USPQ2d 1953,
`1955 (TTAB 2006); In re Finisar Corp, 78 USPQ2d 1618, 1621 (TTAB 2006).
`
`

`
`As was pointed out in earlier Office actions, applicant provides “plans” that incorporate both personal
`coaching services and generalized medical services that address lifestyle behavior modifications,
`medication therapy and consumer specific objectives in order to create a “preventive plan” that is shared
`by both the patient and primary care provider. See dictionary definitions. Since the term is used by others
`in the healthcare industry it should remain in the public domain for others to use when describing like
`services based on a similar concept. See Internet evidence previously made of record showing
`generic/descriptive use of the term by others.
`
`Accordingly, applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied. The time for appeal runs from the date the
`final action was mailed. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.64(b); TMEP Section 7l5.03(c).
`lfapplicant has already
`filed a timely notice of appeal, the application will be forwarded to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`(TTAB).
