`

`The application was filed Nov. 20, 2018 under 15 U.S.C. 1051{a) in Class 039 for "providing a
`
`website featuring information in the field of air travel , airport parking, air travel booking, flight
`
`tracking, taxi and limousine transportation, airport light rail transportation, and toll road
`
`transportation".
`
`The 1 (a) application included three (3) trademark specimens. Nov. 20, 2018 Specimen, TSDR
`
`p.1-3. The first original specimen was a snapshot of the Dulles International Twitter page with
`
`an image of the FLYDULLES webpage for making travel bookings, and providing information
`
`on security, shopping and dining, terminal maps, directions to and from, parking, and
`
`transportation. The second original specimen was a snapshot of a photo posted on the Dulles
`
`International Twitter page, the photo showing a standing banner display at the Ithaca, NY
`
`airport advertising the FLYDULLES website. The third specimen was a snapshot of the
`
`FLYDULLES website with an image of a boy sitting in a cockpit and advertising the "Wings for
`
`All" program for special needs people.
`
`Prosecution Summary
`
`In an action Feb. 20, 2019, the Office refused registration stating that the specimens showed
`
`hashtag and domain name use. In reply, on Feb. 21, 2019, Applicant amended the application
`
`to 1 (b) and the application was allowed Jun. 4, 2019.
`
`A Statement of Use and additional specimens were filed Oct. 10, 2019. Oct. 10, 2019
`
`Specimen, TSDR p.1-4. In an action Oct. 28, 2019, the registration and specimens were
`
`refused on the basis of domain name use.
`
`A subsequent Request for Reconsideration and Extension of Time was filed by Applicant, and
`
`the Office issued a Final Office Action on Jun. 24, 2020. In the action dated Jun. 24, 2020, the
`
`

`

`Office finally refused registration of Applicant's mark on the ground that the substitute
`
`specimens for each refused international class does not show proper use of the applied-for
`
`mark in commerce and because the applied-for mark, as used on the specimen of record, is
`
`used merely as an internet domain name and does not function as a trademark or service mark
`
`to indicate the source of Applicant's goods and/or services and to identify and distinguish them
`
`from others.
`
`Procedural Issue relating to abandonment
`
`Applicant timely filed a Notice of Appeal and fee on Dec. 4, 2020, by hand delivery to the PTO
`
`drop window because of internet/PTO webpage outage. EXHIBIT M.
`
`The Office did not process the Notice of Appeal that Applicant filed at the drop window, but the
`
`Office did accept and process Applicant's fee payment check. The Office issued a Notice of
`
`Abandonment on Jan. 5, 2021. Applicant filed on Jan. 5, 2021 a Request for Reinstatement,
`
`along with a copy of the hand-filed , PTO stamped Notice of Appeal. Calls were made the
`
`Examiner, but not returned , to confirm that an Appeal Brief is due Feb. 4, 2021, in light of the
`
`processing error by the PTO.
`
`Grounds of rejection to be reviewed on appeal
`
`Whether the rejection of the specimens on the grounds that they do not show trademark use
`
`but instead refer to an internet domain is erroneous and should be reversed .
`
`Argument
`
`Applicant respectfully asserts that its FLYDULLES mark is entitled to registration on the
`
`Principal Register and submits that at least one or more of the specimens submitted to the
`
`Office show the mark used as a trademark.
`
`

`

`First, that Applicant actually offers the services is not an issue. It is clear from the specimens
`
`that Applicant provides "a website featuring information in the field of air travel, airport parking,
`
`air travel booking, flight tracking, taxi and limousine transportation, airport light rail
`
`transportation, and toll road transportation ". Applicant provides this product; a review of the
`
`website(s) and social media accounts owned by the applicant shows that the information is
`
`being offered on a website.
`
`Second, the next question is then whether or not there are any distinctive symbols that are
`
`used on these various websites and social media pages. A review of the specimens shows
`
`that FLYDULLES fits this definition. It is a distinctive symbol and it is used repeatedly and in
`
`various locations on the webpages and in the social media account pages. It is also used as a
`
`domain, but this is not how it is solely used. It is also used with a hashtag. This is similar to
`
`how other trademarks are used in that the mark is used as a domain, as a hashtag link, and so
`
`forth . The Lanham Act provides that any symbol that is capable of distinguishing a source of
`
`goods or services can serve as a mark. See e.g. Qualitex Co. v. Jacobson, 514 U.S. 159, 164
`
`(1995) ("It is the source-distinguishing ability of a mark - not its ontological status as color,
`
`shape, fragrance, word, or sign -
`
`that permits it to serve [as a distinguishing factor for
`
`consumers].").
`
`Third, the next question is whether a person visiting Applicant's webpages and social media
`
`account pages, would have made or likely would have made a mental connection to any of the
`
`distinctive symbols on those webpages and social media pages. In this case, the repeated use
`
`of the FLYDULLES symbol, and the provision of travel information services, does form such a
`
`mental connection.
`
`However, the Office has focused entirely on the domain use, only, and has used an
`
`administrative policy that domain use, whenever used, can be used to deny registration. But
`
`

`

`what about non-domain uses? A domain name is the name found in the URL address box.
`
`But what about #FLYDULLES? Or Facebook's @FLYDULLES? Or FLYDULLES.com used
`
`elsewhere, such as on a webpage or social media page or on a banner stand? These uses are
`
`not the domain found in the URL address box. Does COCA COLA® lose its source-indicating
`
`power when it is also used as "@COCACOLA" or "#COCACOLA" or "COCACOLA.com"?
`
`Applicant has already submitted numerous specimens to the Trademark Office (Exhibits G-L),
`
`has submitted a signed declaration that the mark is in use, and/or has an intent to use, has
`
`built and maintained numerous webpages, websites, and social media accounts for years, has
`
`produced actual standing banners and other physical airport advertising, has placed this
`
`advertising not only at Dulles International but at multiple airports, and has used this mark
`
`continuously since at least 2018. But how can the over-broad application of an administrative
`
`domain use policy negate the actual mental connection generated by years of the applicant's
`
`efforts? The applicant submits that it cannot.
`
`The Trademark Office is permitted to deny registrations , by law, where a mark is disparaging, or
`
`where a mark would cause confusion by a consumer. However, neither of these is the case
`
`here.
`
`Instead, the Office has pointed to the fact that the mark is [also] used as a domain name, and
`
`has decided to deny registration. But to deny registration is to effectively deny protectability,
`
`since the standards for registrability of a mark are the same as those for the protectability of a
`
`mark. Thus, contrary to the actual goodwill that the applicant has developed , the Office has
`
`decided in this case, based on the over-broad use of the domain policy doctrine of denying
`
`registration , to focus solely the URL address-box domain name use, ignored all of the other
`
`use by the applicant. And , in doing so, the Office has thereby decided without evidence or
`
`

`

`conducting a survey of its own , that the applicant has absolutely no protectable interest in the
`
`symbol FLYDULLES.
`
`Applicant has spent over $14 million dollars in advertising and marketing their travel services,
`
`including the provisional of information on webpages and social media. Exhibits A-D. The
`
`applicant logged over 127,000 visits to the FLYDULLES website. Exhibit E. There are over
`
`110,000 Facebook followers of the facebook.com/FLYDULLES account. Exhibit F.
`
`Applicant's significant advertising and promotional efforts, social media presence, and
`
`recognition within its own industry, combined with the millions of searches that have been run
`
`by consumers through its FLYDULLES services demonstrate that Applicant's Mark is well
`
`known and recognized by consumers for its travel information services. Applicant respectfully
`
`submits that these facts alone establish that its FLYDULLES mark is a source-indicating mark
`
`for the products listed in the application.
`
`Based on the following evidence and arguments, Applicant respectfully requests that the Board
`
`overturn the final decision of the Examining Attorney, direct the Office to withdraw the refusal
`
`and to approve Applicant's Mark for registration.
`
`On behalf of Applicant
