`
`Mark: THE MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S
`
`Serial Number: 87/588,023
`
`Applicant: Juvia’s Holdings, LLC
`
`Examining Attorney: Susan K. Lawrence
`
`ARGUMENTS
`
`Applicant respectfully requests reconsideration of the refusal to register
`
`THE MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S for the reason that it is likely to cause
`
`confusion with the MASKERAIDE mark of registration No. 4,349,907. Applicant
`
`contends that mark is not similar enough to the applied-for mark to cause a
`
`likelihood of confusion. The differences in the goods, as amended, and the
`
`differences in MASKERAIDE and MASQUERADE combined with the additions
`
`of THE and BY JUVIA’S renders the applied-for mark distinctive from the mark
`
`of the cited registration. Although, in the applicant’s opinion, the marks
`
`themselves are dissimilar enough as to prevent a likelihood of confusion,
`
`Applicant has amended the goods identified in its application to further distance
`
`its mark from that of the cited registration.
`
`A. There are enough differences between MASKERAIDE and THE
`MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S that the appearance, sound,
`connotation and commercial impression of the marks are not
`similar enough to lead to a likelihood of confusion.
`
`The examining attorney contends that the applied-for mark and the mark
`
`of the cited registration are similar enough to weigh in favor of a likelihood of
`
`confusion because of the uses of MASKERAIDE and MASQUERADE in the two
`
`
`
`marks. Those similarities, alone, are not enough for this factor to weigh in favor
`
`of finding a likelihood of confusion.
`
`The mark MASKERAIDE when used with its identified goods is not a
`
`strong indicator of source and creates a commercial impression separate from
`
`“masquerade” as spelled correctly. The use of MASK and AID (or even AIDE)
`
`within the term would lead consumers to believe that the mark nearly describes
`
`something about the product. It is a mask that aids skin care. To be sure, the term
`
`is MASKERAIDE and thus would likely not be deemed descriptive. However,
`
`because consumers typically retain a general memory of a mark, and not all the
`
`particulars of it, it is likely that they would retain MASK and AID in their
`
`memory, considering that those terms identify features of the goods. Though the
`
`mark is suggestive on the continuum of trademark distinctiveness, it likely leans
`
`toward being descriptive because of its specific spelling. This reduces its
`
`prominence and its ability to distinctively identify the masks of the mark.
`
`As to the applied-for mark, THE MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S, includes the
`
`proper spelling of “masquerade”, providing some differences between the mark of
`
`the cited registration, but also includes an additional 3 words, which when used
`
`together creates enough separation to render any confusion unlikely.
`
`As noted above, MASQUERADE is likely suggestive when used in
`
`association with cosmetics and cosmetic related items (and even less so when
`
`used as with MASKERAIDE). It refers to a party at which a person wears a mask
`
`or make-up. Thus, on the trademark continuum, since the mark does not
`
`describe the cosmetics, MASQUERADE would likely be distinctive for cosmetics,
`
`However, being suggestive, it would fall at the weaker end of the distinctiveness
`
`
`
`portion of the continuum. As the examining attorney notes, THE is not typically
`
`distinctive and thus adds little to the mark—though it must be noted, as
`
`explained below, that does not mean it is altogether removed from the mark, and
`
`still adds something.
`
`Most important, is the use of BY JUVIA’S. That portion of the mark has no
`
`relevance whatsoever to cosmetics other than as an identifier for the applicant,
`
`and would stand out to consumers as identifying the applicant as the source of
`
`goods. It is extremely significant to the mark, and, considering the suggestiveness
`
`provided by MASQUERADE, which conjures up a mask and makeup for a party,
`
`would be remembered as the prominent feature of the mark.
`
`Truly, the only similarity between MASKERAIDE and THE
`
`MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S is in the pronunciation of “masquerade.” And while
`
`that should be considered, the differences between the appearance, and the
`
`reduced distinctiveness of MASKERAIDE, when considering the differences in
`
`the goods as amended, overcomes any potential likelihood of confusion.
`
`Beyond the similarities in the marks themselves, the examining attorney
`
`avers that there is no difference in commercial impression between
`
`MASKERAIDE and THE MASQUERADE BY JUVIA’S. This, however, cannot be
`
`true. Surely, the use of MASK instead of “masq” and AIDE instead of “ade”
`
`creates some difference in commercial impression from simply using
`
`MASQUERADE. The former is a purposefully different spelling to force MASK
`
`and AID to stand out, while the latter would only call to mind a party at which
`
`one wears a mask. Thus, MASKERAIDE has a different commercial impression
`
`from the lone term MASQUERADE. Likely, when a consumer reads
`
`
`
`MASKERAIDE they would think of a “masquerade,” but still MASK and AID are
`
`present and would cause consumers to have some additional thought as to what
`
`the mark means. Then, considering the goods, they would understand that it
`
`nearly describes what is being sold: a mask that aids skin care.
`
`If applicant’s mark were simply MASQUERADE, then the differences
`
`between it and MASKERAIDE would likely not be enough. That is not the case,
`
`though. Applicant’s mark includes THE and BY JUVIA’S, specifically stating the
`
`source of the goods. This most certainly creates a different commercial
`
`impression. Not only is there no “aiding” with a “mask”, but the BY JUVIA’S
`
`portion almost entirely alters the overall impression received by a consumer.
`
`The examining attorney, however, argues that BY JUVIA’S is insufficient
`
`to differentiate one mark from another, and first relies on the position of
`
`MASQUERADE in the mark—leading the BY JUVIA’S portion, and nearly being
`
`the leading term, considering only THE comes before it—to determine that it
`
`would be the term most remembered by consumers. While position of a term can
`
`matter, it is not determinative. And, here, the most distinctive portion is BY
`
`JUVIA’S.
`
`The examining attorney relies on the often cited Palm Bayl, which tends to
`
`stand for the proposition that the leading term in a mark is the dominant term,
`
`and the term that will likely be remembered by customers. The facts of that case,
`
`however, don’t quite match up with the facts here, and thus the proposition
`
`
`
`1 Palm Bay [1171001191, Inc. V. Venve ("licqnor Ponsm'dm liaison Fondee en 1772. 396 F.3d 1369. 1372 (Fed.
`Cir. 2005).
`
`
`
`doesn’t hold. In Palm Bay, the court found that the leading term in VEUVE
`
`ROYALE, was the dominant portion of the mark partly because it was the leading
`
`term, but mostly because, as the court determined, VEUVE was arbitrary and
`
`thus a strong identifier, and ROYALE was less dominant. The court found that,
`
`the “arbitrary term VEUVE contributes more to [the] commercial impression of
`
`[the] product than ROYALE,” and since the registered mark also lead with the
`
`distinctive VEUVE, the two marks were too similar and likely to cause confusion.2
`
`More on point for the marks here, is the Federal Circuit’s holding in
`
`Kcebler3. There, the court found the two marks, PECAN SAN DIES and PECAN
`
`SH ORTEES, were not likely to cause confusion, even though they shared the
`
`same leading term, because the leading term was not distinctive.4 That is the
`
`case here. The use of MASKERAIDE in the cited registration is not highly
`
`distinctive—it is suggestive and potentially descriptive—and the use of BY
`
`JUVIA’S is highly distinctive, sufficiently removing any potential confusion that
`
`might possibly be caused by MASKERAIDE and MASQUERADE if compared on
`
`their own.
`
`Beyond the position of MASQUERADE within the mark, the examining
`
`attorney, however, believes that BY JUVIA’S is not sufficient enough to overcome
`
`a likelihood of confusion, and in supporting that insufficiency, cites a number of
`
`cases5 that essentially hold that additional terms, added to a distinctive term, are
`
`
`

`U.S.P.Q. (BNA) 11 558 (T.T.A.B. Dec. 30, 1983)
`
`
`
`not enough to overcome a likelihood of confusion between marks. As with Palm
`
`Bay, though, the facts here are different than the facts in those cases. In Cracker,
`
`the Board found that the difference between two marks, COMMCASH and
`
`COMMUNICASH, was not enough to overcome a likelihood of confusion because
`
`the use of COMM and COMMUNI was too similar. However, there are two
`
`important points to note. First, the only difference between the marks was the
`
`use of UNI added to the middle of one term—both marks included a single term
`
`and included COMM and CASH. Second, the Board noted that the identified
`
`services of the applied-for mark covered the services of the registered mark, and
`
`that the applicant was trying to restrict its services in its arguments rather than
`
`restricting them in the identification, where it matters. Similar analyses were
`
`applied to the other two cited cases, where the differences in the applied—for mark
`
`was either descriptive or added so little as to not be meaningful.
`
`Here, Applicant has restricted its goods, which causes them to directly be
`
`different than the goods of the registered mark. Also, the additions to the mark
`
`for the present application, namely, BY JUVIA’S, adds a great deal to the overall
`
`mark. As noted above, BY JUVIA’S is the most distinctive and prominent portion
`
`of the applicant’s mark. That combined with the differences between
`
`MASKERAIDE and MASQUERADE amounts to significant differences in the
`
`appearance, sound and commercial impression. The fact that MASQUERADE is
`
`almost the leading term is not enough to create confusion, and does not lead to
`
`the legal standards noted above.
`
`
`
`B. Applicant has amended its goods to limit them to “make-up for
`beautification,” which removes any crossover with the
`identification of the ‘967 registration.
`
`Applicant has amended its identification of goods from “Cosmetics” to
`
`“Cosmetics, namely, make-up for beautification.” The identified goods of the
`
`cited registration are, “Cosmetic preparations for skin care; Facial beauty masks;
`
`Facial masks.” Though both recite “Cosmetics,” each is qualified to limit the
`
`goods to a specific type of cosmetics. For the applicant, the cosmetics are strictly
`
`related to make-up, such as the eyeshadow palettes sold by Applicant, and for the
`
`cited registration, the cosmetics are related to skin care, and specifically, to facial
`
`mask. Both are a form of cosmetics, and both are used to improve the look of a
`
`person. However, the products themselves are very different. Make-up is typically
`
`used for a short period of time, to alter a person’s look, for instance by adding
`
`color, and then is removed, leaving the person looking as they did prior to
`
`applying the make—up. A skin care preparation is typically applied to promote
`
`healthier skin, ideally improving a person’s look for some time after the product
`
`is removed, leaving the person looking different; facial masks are applied and
`
`removed before any of the effects are seen.
`
`Submitted with this Response is internet evidence from Encyclopedia
`
`Britannica and Wikipedia detailing the differences between make—up products
`
`and skin care products. Though both goods are within the broad category of
`
`cosmetics, the specific goods themselves are used differently, for different
`
`purposes and with different results. Applicant’s amendment to its goods, along
`
`with the differences in the marks, as detailed above, are enough to prevent there
`
`
`
`from being any likelihood of confusion between the applied—for mark and the
`
`mark of the cited registration.
`
`C. Considering the totality of the differences in the marks as a whole
`and the identified goods, Applicant’s mark is not likely to cause
`confusion with the ‘9 ()7 registration.
`
`Considering the strength of BY IUVIA’S. the totality of the differences in
`
`appearance, sound and commercial impression between the single-termed, alternatively
`
`spelled, MASKERAIDE and THE MASQUERADE BY IUVIA’S, and in light of the
`
`differences between the goods, there is not a likelihood of confusion between the marks.
`
`A “likelihood” is a high burden. It cannot be fulfilled by a “possibility” of confusion, and
`
`it cannot be deteiniined based on a technical dissection ofparts ofa markieyen if a
`

`
`WRITTEN BY: The Editors of Encyciopaedia Britannica
`
`Cosmetic, any ofseveral preparations (excluding soap) that are applied to the human body_ for beautifying, preserving, or
`altering the appearance or for cleansing, colouring, conditioning, or protecting the skin, hair, nails, lips, eyes, or teeth. See also
`makeup; perfume.
`
`The earliest cosmetics known to archaeologists were in use in Egypt in the fourth millennium BC, as evidenced by the
`
`remains OfEEEJEEEE probably used for eye makeup and for the application of scented unguents. By the start of the Christian
`era, cosmetics were in wide use in the Roman Empire Kohl (a preparation based on lampblack or antimony) was used to
`darken the eyelashes and eyebrows and to outline the eyelids. Rouge was used to redden the cheeks, and various white
`powders were employed to simulate or heighten fairness of complexion. Bath oils were widely used, and various abrasives
`were employed as dentifrices. The perfumes then in use were based on floral and herbal scents held by natural resins as
`fixatives.
`
`Along with other cultural refinements, cosmetics disappeared from much of Europe with the fall of the Roman Empire in the
`5th century AD. A revival did not take place until the Middle Ages, when crusaders returning from the Middle East brought
`cosmetics and perfumes back from their travels. Cosmetics reappeared in Eu rope on a wide scale in the Renaissance, and
`Italy (15th—16th centuries) and France (17th century on) became the chief centres oftheir manufacture. At first makeup was
`
`respectable society in the United States and Britain. French women continued to use makeup, however, and France
`pioneered in the scientific development and manufacture of cosmetics during that time. After World War | any lingering
`Anglo-American prejudices against makeup were discarded, and new products and techniques of manufacture, packaging,
`and advertising have made cosmetics available on an unprecedented scale.
`
`Skin-Care Preparations
`
`Preparations for the care of the skin form a major line of cosmetics. The basic step in facial care is clea nsing, and fit; and
`water is still one of the most effective means. Cleansing creams and lotions are useful, however, if heavy makeup is to be
`removed or if the skin is sensitive to soap. Their active ingredient is essentially o_il, which acts as a solvent and is combined in
`an emulsion (a mixture of liquids in which one is suspended as droplets in another) with water. Cold cream, one ofthe oldest
`beauty aids, originally consisted of water beaten into mixtures ofsuch natural fats as lard or almond oil, but modern
`preparations use mineral oil combined with an emulsifier that helps disperse the oil in water. Emollients (softening creams)
`and night creams are heavier cold creams that are formulated to encourage a massaging action in application; they often
`leave a thick film on the face overnight, thus minimizing water loss from the skin during that period.

`
`Hand creams and lotions are used to prevent or reduce the dryness and roughness arising from exposure to household
`detergents, wind, sun, and dry atmospheres. Like facial creams, they act largely by replacing lost water and laying down an oil
`film to reduce subsequent moisture loss while the body’s natural processes repair the damage.
`
`Foundations, Face Powder, And Rou e
`The classic foundation is vanishing cream, which is essentially an oil-in—Water emulsion that contains about 15 percentm
`M (a solid fatty acid), a small part ofwhich is saponified (converted to a crystalline form) in order to provide the quality of
`sheen. Such creams leave no oily finish, though they provide an even, adherent base for face powder, which when dusted on
`top of a foundation provides a peach-skin appearance. Many ingredients are needed to provide the characteristics of a good
`face powder: talc helps it spread easily; chalk or kaolin gives it moisture-absorbing qualities; magnesium stearate helps it
`adhere; zinc oxide and titanium dioxide permit it to cover the skin more thoroughly; and various pigments add colour.
`
`Heightened colour can be provided with rouge, which is used for highlighting the cheekbones; the more modern version is
`the blusher, which is used to blend more colour in the face. Small kits of compressed face powder and rouge or blusher are
`commonly carried by women in their hand bags.
`
`Eye Makeup
`
`Eye makeu p, which is usually considered indispensable to a complete maquillage (full makeup), includes mascara to
`emphasize the eyelashes; eye shadow for the eyelids, available in many shades; and eyebrow pencils and eyeliner to pick out
`the edges of the lids. Because eye cosmetics are used adjacent to a very sensitive area, innocuity of ingredients is essential.
`
`Lipstick
`
`Lipstick is an almost universal cosmetic since, together with the eyes, the mouth is a leading feature, and it can be attractively
`coloured and textured. Lipstick has a fatty base that is firm in itself and yet spreads easily when applied. The colour is usually
`
`lipsticks are placed on a sensitive surface and ultimately ingested, they are made to the highest safety specifications.
`
`Other Cosmetics
`
`Hair preparations include soaplessMm (soap leaves a film on the hair) that are actually scented detergents; products
`that are intended to give gloss and body to the hair, such as resin-based sprays, brilliantines, and pomades, as well as alcohol-
`based lotions; and hair conditioners that are designed to treat damaged hair. Permanent-wave and hair-straightening
`preparations use a chemical, ammonium thioglycolate, to release hair from its natural set. Hair colorants use permanent or
`semipermanent dyes to add colour to dull or mousy—coloured hair, and byflgflperoxide is used to bleach hair to a blond
`colour.

`
`Cosmetics
`
`Cosmetics are substances or products used to enhance or alter the appearance
`
`of the face or fragrance and texture of the body. Many cosmetics are designed
`
`for use of applying to the face, hair, and body. They are generally mixtures of
`
`chemical compounds; some being derived from natural sources (such as
`
`coconut oil), and some being synthetics or artificialll] Cosmetics applied to the
`face to enhance its appearance are often called make-up or makeup.
`
`Common make—up items include: lipstick, mascara, eye shadow, foundation.
`
`Whereas other common cosmetics can include skin cleansers and body lotions,
`
`shampoo and conditioner, hairstyling products (gel, hair spray, etc.), perfume
`
`and cologne.
`
`In the U.S.,
`
`the Food and Drug Administration (FDA), which regulates
`
`cosmetics,[2] defines cosmetics as "intended to be applied to the human body
`for cleansing, beautifying, promoting attractiveness, or altering the appearance
`
`without affecting the body's structure or functions". This broad definition
`
`includes any material intended for use as a component of a cosmetic product.
`
`The FDA specifically excludes soap from this category.[3]
