`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
`AFTER FINAL ACTION DENIED
`
`Issue date:   August 2, 2023
`
`Registrant’s request for reconsideration is denied.   See 37 C.F.R. §§2.63(b)(3), 2.93(c)(1)(i).  The
`examiner has carefully reviewed registrant’s request, and determined that it did not resolve all
`outstanding issues.  
`
`The following requirement is maintained and continued:
`
`
`•
`
` Acceptable use of the mark in commerce for the goods in the registration as of the relevant date,
`which in this case is the filing date of the petition for expungement. 
`
`
`Registrant has not shown use of the mark in commerce as of the relevant date with the goods at issue,
`namely:
`
`     Class 11
`
`
`•
`
` Components for air conditioning and cooling systems, namely, evaporative air coolers
`
`
`In its request for reconsideration, registrant provides evidence it claims supports use of the mark on a
`range of components used in and in tandem with evaporative air cooler units (Exhibit 2).  Registrant
`
`

`

`alleges that the goods can be  used with evaporative air coolers to facilitate the flow of air. (Declaration
`of Brian Kim ¶6.)
`
`While registrant provides evidence that it claims support that these goods can be used, inter alia, to
`connect pipes in evaporative air coolers, as noted in the final February 2, 2023 Office action, the goods
`for which the mark is registered, and the identification selected from the Acceptable Identification of
`Goods and Services Manual (USPTO ID Manual),  are evaporative air coolers.  And, none of the
`evidence supports use of the mark with the registered goods.  In fact, registrant admits it did not intend
`to apply for evaporative air coolers and that its goods are components and not evaporative air
`coolers.(Declaration of Brian Kim  ¶¶ 9 and 10, December 27, 2022 response).
`
`Registrant argues that the identification of goods should be read to include  components for
`evaporative air coolers as standalone goods.  This argument is counter to longstanding identification
`of goods and services policies and practices.  In identifications of goods and services that include
`"namely,"
`
`        the goods or services listed after "namely," "in the nature of," or the like must further define the
`introductory wording that precedes "namely," "in the nature of," or          the like using definite terms
`within the scope of the introductory wording. 
`
`Trademark Manual of Examining Procedure  (TMEP) §1401.02(a).  Therefore, "evaporative air
`coolers" are the registered goods that define the introductory wording that precedes "namely." 
`A  review of the records of the USPTO for trademark registrations that incorporate the identification
`chosen by registrant, "components for air conditioning and cooling systems, namely, evaporative air
`coolers", located 97 live registrations. (Exhibit A). Looking at the registrations and the specimens
`submitted to support the goods covered by the registrations, it is clear that the goods in the vast
`majority of the registrations are evaporative air coolers as the specimens clearly show a cooling or
`heating device.  (Exhibit B, a representative sample of the registrations incorporating the identification
`with a copy of the specimens).  
`
`Even if the identification could be read as registrant suggests, which it cannot for the above reasons, the
`components shown in the evidence submitted with the response are not goods that would even fall
`within the scope of wording in the registered identification of goods.  Specifically, components covered
`by the language of this identification, as discussed in the final Office action, are those that would assist
`in heating or cooling.  So, even if the identification could be read as "components for evaporative air
`coolers," for that assertion to be adopted, the components also would have to fall within the class of the
`goods selected by registrant.  However, registrant’s goods are used to connect pipes and facilitate air
`flow.  They do not cool or heat as required by goods in International Class 11. TMEP §1401.02(a). 
`
`
`Section 7(b) of the Lanham Act provides that a federal trademark registration on the Principal Register
`“shall be prima facie evidence ... of the [registrant’s] exclusive right to use the registered mark in
`commerce on or in connection with the goods or services specified in the certificate ....” 15 U.S.C. §
`1057(b) (emphasis added). In other words, the legal rights and benefits that accrue from registration are
`based on the goods or services as listed in the registration. That is why, as the Supreme Court has
`recognized, “[t]he usages *11 listed in [an] application ... are critical.” B & B Hardware, Inc. v. Hargis
`Indus., Inc., 135 S. Ct. 1293, 1300 (2015).
`
`The importance of an accurate identification of goods and services exists throughout the lifecycle of a
`trademark registration - from examination of an application through to maintenance of a registration.
`

`

`

`Section 1(a) of the Lanham Act requires that an application to register a trademark must include
`“specification of ... the goods in connection with which the mark is used ....” 15 U.S.C. § 1051(a). “It is
`within the discretion of the [US]PTO to require that one’s goods be identified with particularity.” In re
`Omega SA, 494 F.3d 1362, 1365 (Fed. Cir. 2007) (quoting In re Water Gremlin Co., 635 F.2d 841, 845
`(CCPA 1980)).  As to issued registrations, if the evidence of use of the mark is inconsistent with the
`goods specified in the registration, the mark is not in use for the registered goods and the registration
`may be terminated under Section 16(a).  15 U.S.C. §1066(a).
`
`Because no acceptable use of the mark for the goods in the registration has been submitted, the request
`for reconsideration is denied.
`
`If registrant filed a notice of appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will be
`notified to resume the appeal proceeding. Otherwise, a Notice of Termination will issue, and the
`registration will be cancelled in whole or in part as determined by the scope of the goods and/or
`services involved in the proceeding.
