`
`RE! QUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
`
`In the Office Action dated May 1 1, 2017. the Examining Attoiney maintained and made
`
`final her refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(d) based upon an alleged likelihood of
`
`confusion between Applicant’s Mark and U.S. Registration No. 3,621,099 (hereinafter the “Cited
`
`Registration”).

`
`Applicant respectfully submits that there is no potential conflict between Applicant”s
`
`Mark and the Cited Registration. In support of its Request for Reconsideration, Applicant
`
`presents extensive new evidence supporting the unique connotation associated with the phrase
`
`“DRIVE-IN”, which distinguishes Applicant’s Mark and the Cited Registration. Applicant
`
`further submits that the parties' services, as presently amended, are not related. Moreover, as
`
`discussed below, the sample third party registrations and internet usage cited by the Examining
`
`Attorney for the first time in the May 1 1, 2017 Office Action do not establish that the services
`
`are related. The only arguable similarity between the parties’ sen-'ices is that they both fall
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`within the broad umbrella of food selvices. However, drive-in restaurants, ice cream stands,
`
`coffee houses and catering are distinct niches within the food industly that are non-competitive,
`
`and the existence of such a tangential relationship between services cannot support a finding of
`
`likelihood of confusion. Applicant respectfully submits that the differences in services, as
`
`presently amended, particularly when considered in conjunction with the differences in
`
`appearance, connotation and commercial impression, eliminate any potential for confusion.
`
`Based on the argument below and upon consideration of the relevant DuPont factors, Applicant
`
`respectfully submits that there is no likelihood of confusion between the Applicant’s mark and
`
`the Cited Registration.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`In testing for likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d), the following factors must be
`
`considered:
`
`(1)
`
`(2)
`
`(3)
`
`(4)
`
`(5)
`
`(6)
`
`(7)
`
`(8)
`
`(9)
`
`The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance,
`sound, connotation and commercial impression.
`
`The similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in
`an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use.
`
`The similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels.
`
`The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. “impulse”
`vs. careful. sophisticated purchasing.
`
`The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use).
`
`The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods.
`
`The nature and extent of any actual confusion.
`
`The length of time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent
`use without evidence of actual confusion.
`
`The variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used (house mark, “family”
`mark, product mark).
`
`( 10)
`
`The market interface between applicant and the owner of a prior mark.
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`(1 l)
`
`The extent to which applicant has a right to exclude others from use of its mark on
`its goods.
`
`(12)
`
`The extent of potential confusion, i.e., whether de minimis or substantial.
`
`(13) Any other established fact probative of the effect of use.
`
`In re E. I. DUPom‘ de Nemozms (Er (70., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. 1973).
`
`One or more of the DuPont factors may be more dominant than others in a particular
`
`case. In this case, the differences in overall appearance and connotation and the dissimilarities of
`
`the selvices of are particular importance.
`
`1.
`
`The Marks are Dissimilar in Overall A earance and Connotation
`
`When comparing the two marks’ appearance, the marks must be perceived in their
`
`entireties. Opry/and USA Inc. v, GreatAmerican M’zrsic Show, Inc, 970 F.2d 847, 851 (Fed. Cir.
`
`1992). Applicant’s Mark contains a phrase (i.e.. “DRIVE-IN”) that is not present in the Cited
`
`Registration. To be clear, Applicant’s disclaimer of “DRIVE-IN” does not remove the
`
`disclaimed matter from the mark. The mark must still be regarded as a whole, including the
`
`disclaimed matter. in evaluating similarity to other marks. See, In re NaI’I Data (7017).. 753 F.2d
`
`1056, 1059, 224 USPQ 749. 751 (Fed. Cir. 1985).
`
`In addition to creating an obvious visual distinction, the component “DRIVE-IN” triggers
`
`a unique connotation and commercial impression in the minds of consumers. To consumers, the
`
`phrase “DRIVE-IN” connotes a restaurant at which people are served fast- food at their cars. or a
`
`place where people can watch movies outdoors while sitting in their cars. This connotation is
`
`confirmed by multiple dictionaries that define the phrase “drive-in” as “an establishment (such as
`
`a theater or restaurant) so laid out that patrons can be accommodated while remaining in their
`
`automobiles.” (See attached dictionaiy definitions of the phrase “drive-in”). Both connotations
`
`(drive-in movies and drive-in restaurants) strongly and immediately invoke a unique commercial
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`impression of Americana and an unmistakable nostalgia for times past. Drive-in restaurants have
`
`been an iconic symbol of American culture since their heyday in the 19505 and 1960s. (See
`
`attached articles: ”The Drive-In Theater iAn Icon ofAmerican Culture”; “14 Classic American
`
`Drive-In Restaurants that are Still in Operation”; “Carhop To It: 5 Classic American Drive-In
`
`Restaurants”, which describes the history and classic experience associated with American drive-
`
`in restaurants; “The History of the Drive-In Movie Theater”, which describes the “iconic feel of
`
`a classic l950s-style drive-in”).
`
`It was during this era that drive-in restaurants solidified their
`
`place in our country’s history. Since that time. countless books. articles and theses have
`
`discussed the impact and historical significance of drive-in restaurants on American culture.
`
`(See attached sampling of books, e.g., “The American Drive-In: History and Folklore of the
`
`Drive-In Restaurant in American Car Culture” by Michael Karl Witzel; “Car Hops and Curb
`
`Service: A History ofAmerican Drive-In Restaurants 1920-1960” by Jim Heimann; “Diners,
`
`Drive-Ins, and Dives: The Funky Finds in Flavortown.‘ America ’s Classic Joints and Killer
`
`Comfort Food" ’ by Guy Fieri). Drive-in restaurants have inspired songs. artwork and. served as
`
`the backdrop of countless movies and television series , for example, “Mel‘s Drive-In” in the
`
`classic 1973 film American Graffiti and “Arnold’s Drive-In” from Happy Days. (See attached
`
`Wikipedia entry for “Drive-In”). The Cited Registration does not include the phrase “DRIVE-
`
`IN” and thus lacks the powerful, unique connotation and commercial impression associated with
`
`Applicant’s mark “JUMPTN’ JACK’S DRIVE-IN”.
`
`To the contrary, the connotation of the Cited Registration (JUMPIN JACK’S for coffee)
`
`is decidedly different. The Cited Registration connotes the common, physical jumping exercise
`
`performed by jumping to a position With the legs spread Wide and the hands touching overhead,
`
`and then returning to a position with the feet together and the arms at the sides.
`
`(See attached
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`dictionary definition of the phrase ‘jumping jack”). The commercial impression upon the
`
`consumer is the high-energy rush created by both the jumping exercise and the caffeine in the
`
`Registrant’s coffee products.
`
`Applicant submits that the presence of “DRIVE-IN” in Applicant’s Mark sufficiently
`
`distinguishes Applicant’s Mark from the Cited Registration in both appearance, connotation and
`
`commercial impression. See, In re Farm Fresh Catfish (’70.. 231 USPQ 495, 495-96 (TTAB
`
`1986) (holding CATFISH BOBBERS (with “CATFISH” disclaimed) for fish. and BOBBER for
`
`restaurant services. not likely to cause confusion). See) e.g., Shen illfg. Co. v. Rif: Hotel Ltd, 393
`
`F.3d 1238. 1245 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (use of THE RITZ KIDS for clothing items (including gloves)
`
`and RITZ for various kitchen textiles (including barbeque mitts) is not likely to cause confusion,
`
`because, inter alia, THE RITZ KIDS creates a different commercial impression).
`
`2.
`
`The Goods are Distinguishable and Not Closely Related
`
`The mere fact that the seivices relate to the food industiy is an insufficient basis for
`
`likelihood. of confusion. See. In re Giovanni Food Co, 97 USPQ2d at 1991 (TTAB 2011) (no
`
`likelihood of confusion between “JUMPIN JACK'S” for catering services and “JUMPIN'
`
`JACKS” for barbeque sauce). The same can be said for arguably related goods or sen-ices in
`
`other large industries. See, e. g. Astra Pharm. Products, Inc. v. Beckman Instrm-nenm, Inc, 718
`
`F.2d 1201. 1206 (1st Cir. 1983) (finding that any similarity between the parties” goods ihospital
`
`laboratmy equipment vs. local anesthetics —Was limited to their use in the medical industiy.
`
`which was an insufficient basis to find likelihood of confusion). Any potential for confusion in
`
`the present case is far less likely than In re Giovanni, which involved the identical marks
`
`
`“JUMPIN’ JACKS”, considering that the Applicant‘s Mark and Cited Registration are not
`
`
`identical and have si nificantlv different connotations and commercial im ressions.
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`Applicant's presently amended “drive-in restaurants” and “ice cream stand seivices” do not
`
`include catering seiyices, nor does Applicant offer coffee-house services.
`
`Courts recognize that distinct market niches within the same general product category or
`
`industry can render confusion unlikely, even if the marks are identical or very similar. See,
`
`Checkpoint systems, Inc. v. Check Point Software Technologies, Inc, 269 F.3d 270 (3d Cir.
`
`2001). In the present case, the Applicant’s presently amended “drive-in restaurants” and “ice
`
`cream stand services” and the Cited Registrant’s “coffee-house services” and “catering services”
`
`are each distinct niches within the food industry that are not otherwise related. and are not
`
`competitive. As discussed above, drive-in restaurants are a highly unique subset of food
`
`providers — in temis of both menu and ambiance. The same is true for Applicant’s ice cream
`
`stand services, which are specialized, often seasonal, outdoor walk-up stands where consumers
`
`can purchase single service ice cream. (For examples, see attached article: ”Upstate New York’s
`
`best ice cream stand: And the winners are... ”).
`
`Finally, none of the sample registrations or online advertisements cited by the Examining
`
`Attorney for the first time in the May 1 l, 2017 Office Action recite Applicant’s presently
`
`amended “drive-in restaurants” and “ice cream stand seiyices”. Thus, there is no evidence that
`
`the services presently identified by Applicant and Registrant are likely to be perfomied by a
`
`single entity.
`
`In summary, Applicant respectfully submits that the mere fact that both Applicant’s
`
`services and the services identified in the Cited Registration relate to the food industry is an
`
`insufficient basis for likelihood of confusion.
`
`(H1045515 1)
`
`

`

`CONCLUSION
`
`Based on the foregoing remarks, Applicant respectfully requests Withdrawal of the
`
`likelihood of confusion refusal. The Examining Attorney is requested to contact Applicant’s
`
`undersigned attorney if she has any further objection that may be handled by telephone or e-mail.
