`Office Action (Official Letter) About Applicant’s Trademark Application
`
`U.S. Application Serial No.  88420844
`
`Mark:   PEARBERRY
`
`Correspondence Address:  
`GARY W. DONOHUE
`DINSMORE & SHOHL LLP
`900 WILSHIRE DRIVE, STE. 300
`TROY MI 48084
`UNITED STATES
`
`Applicant:   Mastronardi Produce Ltd.
`
`

`

`Reference/Docket No.  N/A
`

`
`
`
`
`
`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION AFTER FINAL ACTION DENIED
`
`Issue date:   May 16, 2024
`
`Applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied.   See 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3).  The trademark
`examining attorney has carefully reviewed applicant’s request and determined the request did not:  (1)
`raise a new issue, (2) resolve all the outstanding issue(s), (3) provide any new or compelling evidence
`with regard to the outstanding issue(s), or (4) present analysis and arguments that were persuasive or
`shed new light on the outstanding issue(s).  TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).  
`
`Accordingly, the following refusal made final in the Office action dated October 10, 2023
`is  maintained and continued: 
`
`
`•
`
` Section 2(e)(1) Refusal - Merely Descriptive
`
`
`See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).  
`
`First, in its Request for Reconsideration, applicant argues that PEARBERRY has been registered by
`Bath & Body Works (U.S. Registration Nos. 2427310 and 2313482) for cosmetic goods, and that since
`those applications were not refused as descriptive, applicant's mark is also not descriptive. 
`
`Contrary to applicant’s arguments, these registrations do not affect the registrability of the mark at
`issue.  “Trademark rights are not static.” In re Thunderbird Prods. Corp., 406 F.2d 1389, 1391, 160
`USPQ 730, 732 (C.C.P.A. 1969). A term that might not have been considered merely descriptive or
`generic in the past may now be considered so due to the frequency of its use over time. See In re
`Virtual Indep. Paralegals, LLC, 2019 USPQ2d 111512, at *9 (TTAB 2019) (citing In re Thunderbird
`Prods. Corp., 406 F.2d at 1391, 160 USPQ at 732). Eligibility for registration must be determined on
`the basis of the facts and evidence in the record at the time registration is sought, which includes during
`examination and any related appeal. In re Chippendales USA Inc., 622 F.3d 1346, 1354, 96 USPQ2d
`1681, 1686 (Fed. Cir. 2010); In re Morton-Norwich Prods., Inc., 671 F.2d 1332, 1344, 213 USPQ 9, 18
`(C.C.P.A. 1982); In re Thunderbird Prods. Corp., 406 F.2d at 1391, 160 USPQ at 732. Here, as
`explained in both the April 13, 2023 Non-Final action and the October 10, 2023 Final action, as well as
`below, the evidence of record in this application supports the descriptiveness of "PEARBERRY" for
`applicant's goods. 
`
`Second, applicant argues that "PEARBERRY" is suggestive for, not descriptive of, its goods because
`the taste of the goods at issue is subjective and is "very much left up to the individual and that person's
`taste buds". 
`
`The previously attached evidence from applicant's website states that the "WOW™ Berries
`pearberry™" has the "flavor" of "Notes of pear & tart apple" and says "Special in every way, these
`
`

`

`large, firm red-orange strawberries will surprise and delight with notes of pear and tart apple." And,
`applicant's October 5, 2023 Response stated "Applicant points out that 'notes' in this context simply
`means a feature (as of odor or flavor)." Thus, applicant's fruit and berry goods have a pear flavor. And,
`the flavor of food products has been held merely descriptive of such food products. In re Andes
`Candies Inc., 178 USPQ 156 (C.C.P.A. 1973) (holding CRÈME DE MENTHE merely descriptive of
`laminated chocolate mint candy squares); In re Int’l Salt Co., 171 USPQ 832 (TTAB 1971) (holding
`CHUNKY CHEESE merely descriptive of cheese-flavored salad dressing); see A. J. Canfield Co. v.
`Honickman, 808 F.2d 291, 1 USPQ2d 1364 (3d Cir. 1986) (holding CHOCOLATE FUDGE generic for
`chocolate fudge flavored diet soda); TMEP §1209.01(b).
`
`from  Wish Farms, Taste of Home,  Brynwood
`the newly attached evidence
`Additionally,
`Needlworks,  Orange Pippin,  Smith Brothers, Miami Fruits, Roots to Fruits,  Scott Farm,  Specialty
`Produce,  Fearless Fresh, and Kings River  shows evidence of fruits that have the flavor of other fruits or
`foods, and are named to reflect that fact.  See attached Internet evidence from  Wish Farms
`("Pineberries"); Taste of Home ("Kiwi berries");  Brynwood Needlworks ("Apple Pears"); Orange
`Pippin ("Pitmaston Pine Apple"); Smith Brothers ("Cotton Candy Grapes");  Miami Fruits ("Peach
`Mango"); Roots to Fruits ("Winter Banana Apple"); Scott Farm ("Chenango Strawberry" apple
`variety); Specialty Produce ("Strawberry Parfait Apples", "Pink Lemonade Blueberries", "Blue Grape
`Berries", and "Pineberries"); Fearless Fresh ("Strawberry Cherries"); Kings River ("Raspberry
`Oranges"). Therefore, consumers would expect the combination term PEARBERRY to describe berries
`that taste like pears. 
`
`Moreover, the newly attached evidence from  Puffholic,  Vape Time, Del Monte, Cha Fine Teas, and
`Fred Hot shows that "pear berry" is a flavor combination used across different industries.  See attached
`Internet evidence from  Puffholic ("HYPPE MAX FLOW PEAR BERRY"); Vape Time ("Pear Berry E-
`Juice"); Del Monte ("Bubble Fruit® Pear Berry Pomegranate Fruit® Cup Snacks"); Cha Fine Teas
`("Pear Berry"); Fred Hot ("PearBerry"). Therefore, the "pear berry" flavor is something that entities use
`to describe the flavor of their goods, and, thus, that consumers might be able to identify. 
`
`That applicant's goods have additional flavor notes in addition to pear does not change the fact that a
`primary flavor and thus, characteristic, of the goods is a pear flavor.  “A mark may be merely
`descriptive even if it does not describe the ‘full scope and extent’ of the applicant’s goods or services.”
`In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (citing
`In re Dial-A-Mattress Operating Corp., 240 F.3d 1341, 1346, 57 USPQ2d 1807, 1812 (Fed. Cir.
`2001)); TMEP §1209.01(b). It is enough if a mark describes only one significant function, attribute, or
`property. In re The Chamber of Commerce of the U.S., 675 F.3d 1297, 1300, 102 USPQ2d 1217, 1219
`(Fed. Cir. 2012); TMEP §1209.01(b); see In re Oppedahl & Larson LLP, 373 F.3d at 1173, 71
`USPQ2d at 1371. 
`
`Therefore, "PEARBERRY" describes applicant's goods, which are berries that taste like pear. 
`
`Third, applicant argues that "consumers would not and could not immediately assume when
`encountering Applicant's PEARBERRY mark that the goods are some sort of 'pear' and 'berry' hybrid.
`Indeed, it is not, nor are the goods advertised as such."
`
`As explained above, while applicant's goods are not a berry/pear hybrid, they  are berries that are
`advertised as having the flavor of pears.  “Whether consumers could guess what the product [or service]
`is from consideration of the mark alone is not the test.” In re Am. Greetings Corp., 226 USPQ 365, 366
`(TTAB 1985). The question is not whether someone presented only with the mark could guess what the
`
`

`

`goods and/or services are, but “whether someone who knows what the goods and[/or] services are will
`understand the mark to convey information about them.” DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med.
`Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1254, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1757 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting In re Tower
`Tech, Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1314, 1316-17 (TTAB 2002)); In re Mueller Sports. Med., Inc., 126 USPQ2d
`1584, 1587 (TTAB 2018). 
`
`Here, consumers would know that applicant's goods are the identified, "Berries, fresh; Fresh berries;
`Fresh fruit; Fresh fruits; Fruit, fresh". On its face, both "PEAR" and "BERRY" are types of "Fresh fruit;
`Fresh fruits; Fruit, fresh" and are, thus, descriptive of applicant's goods.  See previously attached
`evidence from the Merriam-Webster Dictionary, which states that both "pears" and "berries" are fruits.
`And, as explained above, the way that applicant markets its "Berries, fresh; Fresh berries", specifically,
`makes clear that "PEARBERRY" also describes the berries, in particular: they are berries that taste like
`pears. 
`
`Therefore, PEARBERRY is merely descriptive of applicant's goods and the refusal to register pursuant
`to Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act is continued and maintained. 
`
`Supplemental Register Suggested
`
`The applied-for mark has been refused registration on the Principal Register.  Applicant may respond to
`the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration and/or by amending the
`application to seek registration on the Supplemental Register.  See 15 U.S.C. §1091(c); 37 C.F.R.
`§§2.47, 2.75(a); TMEP §§801.02(b), 816.  Amending to the Supplemental Register does not preclude
`applicant from submitting evidence and arguments against the refusal(s).  TMEP §816.04.
`
`Applicant may not withdraw the statement of use.  See  37 C.F.R. §2.88(f); TMEP §1109.17.
`
`If applicant has already filed an appeal with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, the Board will
`be notified to resume the appeal.   See TMEP §715.04(a).

`
`Forget about apples and bananas,We love to investigate unusual fruits at the
`grocery store. Kiwi berries are mini versions of their fuzzy green cousins, and we
`can’t stop talking about them.
`
`WhatAre Kiwi Berries?
`
`Kiwi berries are bite-sized fruits that look like a fusion of kiwifruit, grapes and
`kumquats. The major difference kiwi berries and kiwifruit is that the berries have
`a leathery, smooth, green skin, They're good for you, too! Kiwi berries are rich in
`vitamins C and E and naturally low in fat, cholesterol and sodium. They're also an
`excellent source of fiber, magnesium and potassium.
`
`Howto Eat Kiwi Berries
`
`Kiwi berries are tiny but mighty—they pack the samebright, fruity flavor as
`kiwifruit, minus the fuzzy skin (which you should totally leave on, by the way).
`They're small enough to be popped into your mouth like grapes, used as a
`garnish for cocktails, added to a fancy cheeseboard and mixedinto fruit salads for
`a sweetand juicy texture.
`
`Kiwi berries taste best when ripe, or when the berry feels soft to the touch. Like
`most berries, they can be enjoyed at room temperature but last longer (up to a
`week) when refrigerated. They can also be frozen and added to smoothies.
`
`Whenit comes to using kiwi berries in recipes, they substitute nicely for a full-size
`kiwi. We also recommend making them into jam like this pineapple kiwi flavor or
`the more traditional strawberry-kiwi combo.
`
`Where to Buy Kiwi Berries
`You can usually find kiwi berries at grocery stores such as Trader Joe's, Whole
`Foods, Sam's Club or your local natural food co-op. Sam's Club in particular has a
`reputation for stocking unusual fruit, like Grape Soda grapes.

`Pepied cheatpespesaieadepwEndat:
`Theylooked like apples and theysmelledlike pears. I Jove pears andwasintrigued bythese fruits, so into the cart they
`went! I expected the texture of apples with the taste of pears, and couldn't wait to get them hometo wash one and take a
`big bite!

`
`I'm thinkingthat myrolls of seam binding wouldfitjust perfectly in here. I'll be pulling outall oftherolls todayto seeif
`theyfit.
`Now, back to the apple pears...If you like a sort of mealy texture, with moist but rather tasteless fruit, then go ahead and
`purchasea fewto try, As for me...they have noneofthe positive qualitiesof either applesor pears, andalthough I won't let
`them go to waste, I won't purchase them again (unless I can't live without another box!). Then,I'll share the fruit witha
`neighbor! lol

`I first had these ‘apple pears’ in Japan, ofcourse couldn't read the language so had no idea what I was actuallyeating :-) They
`tasted so amazingthere. Finally found them here andthey are tasteless, I was so disappointed.Ifthey had comein such pretty
`packaging I might have been happier.

`something. I love old fruit crates. They had such beautiful artwork and this one's a keeper too.

`It was originally
`Pitmaston Pineapple is an old English russet apple from the West Midlands area.

`Horticultural Society in 1845 by Mr Williams of Pitmaston near Worcester.
`It crops heavily but has
`a tendency to biennial bearing - fruiting only every other year.
`Its most notable feature is the unusual and prominent pineapple-like flavour. The flavourof
`apples can be mast simply defined ona scale from very acidic to very sweet, but many varieties
`exhibit otherflavour overtones on top of this basic axis, and Pitmaston Pineapple is the best
