`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION DENIED
`
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/10/2011
`
`
`
`The trademark examining attorney has carefully reviewed applicant’s request for
`reconsideration and is denying the request for the reasons stated below. See 37 C.F.R.
`§2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03(a), 715.04(a). The requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) made final
`in the Office action dated January 19, 2011, are maintained and continue to be final. See
`TMEP §§715.03(a), 715.04(a).
`
`In the present case, applicant’s request has not resolved all the outstanding issue(s), nor
`does it raise a new issue or provide any new or compelling evidence with regard to the
`outstanding issue(s) in the final Office action. In addition, applicant’s analysis and
`arguments are not persuasive nor do they shed new light on the issues. Accordingly, the
`request is denied.
`
`Please see the additional evidence from http://www.reviewed-
`casinos.com/online_casino_reviews/aladdins-gold-casino.html, and
`http://golden.software.informer.com/download-golden-nugget-casino/, which
`demonstrates that a single entity provides both casino services and computer gaming
`software. Also attached are copies of printouts from the USPTO X-Search database,
`which show third-party registrations of marks used in connection with the same or similar
`goods and/or services as those of applicant and registrant in this case. These printouts
`have probative value to the extent that they serve to suggest that the goods and/or
`
`

`
`services listed therein, namely casino services and gaming software, are of a kind that
`may emanate from a single source. In re Infinity Broad. Corp., 60 USPQ2d 1214, 1217-
`18 (TTAB 2001); In re Albert Trostel & Sons Co., 29 USPQ2d 1783, 1785-86 (TTAB
`1993); In re Mucky Duck Mustard Co., 6 USPQ2d 1467, 1470 n.6 (TTAB 1988); TMEP
`§1207.01(d)(iii).
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The filing of a request for reconsideration does not extend the time for filing a proper
`response to a final Office action or an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`(Board), which runs from the date the final Office action was issued/mailed. See 37
`C.F.R. §2.64(b); TMEP §§715.03, 715.03(a), (c).
`
`If time remains in the six-month response period to the final Office action, applicant has
`the remainder of the response period to comply with and/or overcome any outstanding
`final requirement(s) and/or refusal(s) and/or to file an appeal with the Board. TMEP
`§715.03(a), (c). However, if applicant has already filed a timely notice of appeal with the
`Board, the Board will be notified to resume the appeal when the time for responding to
`the final Office action has expired. See TMEP §715.04(a).

`The name J-\laddin‘s Gold Casino brings to mind flying
`carpets. big blue genies and beautiful. exotic princesses
`adorned with only the most gorgeous Middle Eastern jE!WElS
`and garments. With that
`in mind, Aladdin‘s Gold Casino‘s
`homepage doesn't quite live up to expectations, even if
`i did
`have slightly unrealistic ones. Sure. tney‘re on the right track
`with the color scheme‘ the purple background with gold header text alludes to royalty, but while
`Vl[]E
`the inviting woman on the homepage is certainly attractive‘ she's lacking that Princess Jasmine
`Setting aside my disappointment and realigning my expectations of exotic, Arabian princesses, I
`have to say that the rest of the homepage is well laid out‘ user-friendly‘ and straightforward in
`displaying the oenefits of playing at this top virtual casino
`lt‘s oovious right from the start that J-\laddin‘s Gold Casino offers a generous Welcome Bonus. at
`great selection of games, and big payouts that make me anxious to learn more about additional
`benefits of playing with them and now to get startedl

`With /\laddin‘s Gold Casino‘ you do get many of the slot games that mal/.e up the majority of

`At Aladdin‘s Gold Casino you receive 24/7 customer support and have many choices on how to
`get a hold or a representative. Most impressive are their many local calling numpers for players
`all over the world‘ but you can also use their live chat or email to address any duestions or
`concerns you may have
`
`The live chat service is offered by many virtual casinos‘ but it‘s a feature that never fails to
`impress me, since I like to receive immediate answers. put prefer typing through email or chat
