`EXAMINING ATTORNEY

`
`LAW OFFICE
`

`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION
`
`Applicant, Taylor Made Golf Company, Inc. ("Applicant"), applied to register the
`
`above-illustrated mark ("Applicant's Mark" or the "MG Mark") in International Class 28 for
`
`golf clubs:
`
`In the Office Action sent February 15, 2017 ("First Office Action"), it was noted that
`
`registration of Applicant's Mark is subject to refusal based upon a likelihood of confusion
`
`with the mark of Registration No. 3,466,648 (Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`
`§1052(d)). This refusal was maintained and made final in a Final Office Action issued
`
`July 14, 2017.
`
`Section 2(d) Refusal based upon Registration No. 3,466,648
`
`The mark, MG GOLF and Design, illustrated below ("Registrant's Mark"), is
`
`registered in relevant part for, golf clothing namely, golf gloves, hats, socks, shoes,
`
`sweaters and shirts in International Class 25 and golf clubs; golf balls; golf club
`
`

`

`components, namely, golf grips, golf shafts and golf club heads; golf bags; golf tees; and
`
`a golf club swing trainer, namely, a weighted golf club with a training grip to ensure proper
`
`hand placementt [sic] in International Class 28:
`
`ge>lf
`
`Registrant's Mark
`
`In its response to the First Office Action , Applicant set forth the general principles
`
`governing the determination of whether an applicant's mark, as used on the goods
`
`specified in its application, so resembles a registered mark as to be likely to cause
`
`confusion and Applicant need not do so again here. However, Applicant appreciates the
`
`opportunity to address the Office's perceived deficiencies in its record evidence of third(cid:173)
`
`party use of MG and marks in connection with golf clubs and to revisit the Office's finding
`
`of similarity between Registrant's Mark and Applicant's Mark. Also, Applicant appreciates
`
`the opportunity to provide evidence bearing directly on the high degree of sophistication
`
`and knowledge of the customer base in the market for golf clubs in the United States. In
`
`addition, Applicant appreciates the opportunity to demonstrate the extent and nature of
`
`its use of its highly stylized MG Mark and how those factors contribute to a unique
`
`commercial impression of its MG Mark which has not given rise to any instances of
`
`confusion with Registrant's Mark or any of the other third-party MG marks in use in
`
`connection with golf clubs in the United States.
`
`2
`
`

`

`The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks:
`
`The Office bases and maintains its finding that Applicant's Mark and Registrant's
`
`Mark are confusingly similar primarily on the fact that they each share the same initial
`
`literal portion , namely, mg. However, applicant respectfully maintains that this finding
`
`does not take into account the differing appearances based upon the additional word golf
`
`in Registrant's Mark; the vastly different stylizations of the letters mg and the presence of
`
`the circle enclosing mg and dominating the appearance of Registrant's Mark; does not
`
`take into account the different aural impressions of the marks in their entireties; does not
`
`take into account the difference in connotations between the respective marks; and does
`
`not take into account the cumulative impact of all of those differences which culminate in
`
`wholly different commercial impressions of the respective marks. Moreover, Applicant
`
`respectfully maintains that the evidence previously submitted demonstrates significant
`
`third-party use of mg as the dominant literal component of marks for golf clubs weighs
`
`heavily against a finding of likelihood of confusion under the governing precedents of the
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit.
`
`Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration and withdrawal of the pending
`
`refusal based upon the evidence and arguments advanced in its response of July 13,
`
`2017 to the First Office Action as supplemented by the within additional evidence and
`
`argument.
`
`Nature and Number of Similar Marks used for Identical Goods
`
`In the Final Office Action, it was noted that:
`
`In its July 13, 2017 communication, the applicant argues that
`usage of the lettering "MG" in connection with golf clubs in the
`marketplace establishes
`that
`the marks at
`issue can
`peacefully co-exist. However, the applicant's evidence does
`
`3
`
`

`

`not establish that the public is actuallv familiar with the goods.
`Moreover, the existence on these seemingly similar marks
`does not provide a basis for registrability for the applied-for
`mark. In fact, the applicant's evidence depicts all but two of
`these instances of "MG" to be used with other matter, such as
`"MG 400" or "MG-02", or in a manner such that the positioning
`of the letters creates the impression of "GM".
`
`Furthermore, the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit and
`the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board have recognized that
`marks deemed "weak" are still entitled to protection under
`Section 2(d) against the registration by a subsequent user of
`a similar mark for closely related goods. Here, as noted
`earlier, the goods are not merely closely related , but identical.
`Accordingly, this factor does not establish that consumers are
`unlikely to experience source confusion between the marks.
`
`Final Office Action (citations omitted) (emphasis added).
`
`Applicant respectfully disagrees with the determination that its evidence of third-
`
`party use is somehow deficient in failing to show that the public is actually familiar with
`
`the goods in connection with those third-party mg marks are used. Applicant's evidence
`
`of third-party use is drawn from readily-accessible , publicly-available sources. Applicant
`
`is not, and cannot be , required to undertake the insurmountable burden of demonstrating
`
`that any members of the public are familiar with the third-party uses of MG which its
`
`evidence clearly demonstrates. In Juice Generation, Inc. v. GS Enters. LLC, 794 F.3d
`
`1334, 115 USPQ2d 1671 (Fed. Cir. 2015), the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit
`
`was critical of the Board's dismissive treatment of record evidence of third-party uses:
`
`Although Juice Generation introduced evidence of a fair
`number of third-party uses of marks containing "peace" and
`"love" followed by a third , product-identifying term, the Board
`discounted the evidence because there were no "specifics
`the extent of sales or promotional efforts
`regarding
`surrounding the third-partv marks and, thus, what impact, if
`anV, these uses have made in the minds of the purchasing
`public." Accordingly, the Board determined it could not "find
`that customers have become conditioned to recognize that
`other entities use PEACE AND LOVE marks for similar
`
`4
`
`

`

`services." The Board's treatment of the evidence of third-party
`marks. we conclude. does not adequately account for the
`apparent force of that evidence.
`The "specifics" as to the extent and impact of use of the third
`the
`parties' marks may not have been proven, but in
`is
`circumstances here, Juice Generation's evidence
`nonetheless powerful on its face.
`
`Id., 794 F.3d at 1339, 115 USPQ2d at 1674 (citations omitted) (emphasis added).
`
`Here as in Juice Generation, Applicant submits that its evidence of third-party use
`
`of MG and MG-formative marks is powerful on its face, taken as it is from the Internet, the
`
`most ubiquitous and pervasive medium for disseminating information ever known. The
`
`Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, barely a month after the ink was dry on its opinion
`
`in Juice Generation, again stressed the significance of evidence of third-party use and
`
`did so in the context of evidence of third-party use obtained from the Internet:
`
`We agree with Jack Wolfskin that the Board erred in its
`consideration of this evidence. Jack Wolfskin presented
`extensive evidence of third-party registrations depicting paw
`prints and evidence of these marks being used in internet
`commerce for clothing. The Board too quickly dismissed the
`significance of this evidence. As we recently explained in
`Juice Generation , such extensive evidence of third-party use
`and registrations is powerful on its face. even where the
`specific extent and impact of the usage has not been
`established.
`
`Jack Wolfskin Ausrustung Fur Draussen GmbH & Co. KGAA v. New Millennium Sports,
`
`S.L.U., 797 F.3d 1363, 1373-1374, 116 USPQ2d 1129, 1136 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (citations
`
`omitted) (emphasis added).
`
`Moreover, the Office's dismissive treatment of Applicant's evidence of third-party
`
`use is belied by the Final Office Action's reliance upon evidence obtained from the Internet
`
`to establish that "the same commercial entity commonly produces golf clubs, golf bags,
`
`golf balls, golf grips, and golf apparel under the same mark" without any proffer of
`
`5
`
`

`

`evidence of the extent and impact, if any, that the Office's evidence has impressed upon
`
`the minds of the purchasing public.
`
`Furthermore, the Office's reliance on its observation that "the applicant's evidence
`
`depicts all but two of these instances of 'MG' to be used with other matter, such as 'MG
`
`400' or 'MG-02"' proves too much. It is difficult, if not impossible, to offer this observation
`
`to rebut Applicant's evidence of third-party use while at the same time rejecting
`
`Applicant's argument that the literal portion of the mark of the cited registration is not MG
`
`in gross but rather MG GOLF. One need look no further than the registrant's own view
`
`that the mark of its cited registration is indeed MG GOLF and not simply MG.
`
`Attached hereto as Exhibit A
`
`is the TSDR record of registrant's expired
`
`Registration No. 2,654,224 of the standard character mark MG that had been registered
`
`in Class 28 for golf clubs (the "'224 Registration"). Also, attached hereto as Exhibit B is
`
`the TSDR record of the cited registration . It is beyond dispute that registrant was aware
`
`of its '224 Registration when it filed the application resulting in its cited registration.
`
`Registrant received the Certificate of Registration for the cited registration on July 15,
`
`2008, and little more than a month later on August 21 , 2008, registrant filed a Combined
`
`Declaration of Use and Incontestability under Sections 8 & 15 to maintain and enhance
`
`the evidentiary value of its '224 Registration. However, registrant did not file an
`
`application for renewal of its '224 Registration, although it subsequently filed a Section 8
`
`Declaration of Use to maintain the cited registration.
`
`It is a fair, if not compelling , inference to draw from registrant's action in maintaining
`
`the cited registration while allowing its '224 Registration to expire that registrant itself
`
`viewed the mark of the cited registration as MG GOLF and not simply MG. In the absence
`
`6
`
`

`

`of evidence to the contrary, one would be safe in concluding that the registrant acted
`
`rationally and did so with at least a working knowledge of the market for its golf clubs.
`
`Applicant submits that registrant's conduct in allowing its '224 Registration to expire is as
`
`reliable, if not more so, than reliance upon an applicant's prosecution arguments credited
`
`by the Court in Juice Generation:
`
`Such consideration [restricted ambit of protection afforded
`marks diluted by third-party use] was particularly important in
`this case because of statements GS made to the PTO in
`successfully applying for registration of one of its marks. An
`examiner initially denied registration of GS's PEACE & LOVE

`afforded even greater weight to such statements. GS's
`comments therefore support Juice Generation's argument
`that PEACE & LOVE is suggestive or descriptive.
