`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION AFTER FINAL ACTION DENIED
`
`Issue date:   May 31, 2024
`
`Applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied.   See 37 C.F.R. §2.63(b)(3).  Applicant's amended
`identification of services is accepted and made of record.  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 mere descriptiveness refusal made final in the Office action dated October 30, 2023
`is  maintained and continued.
`
`See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).  
`
`Section 2(e)(1) - Descriptive Refusal
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature of applicant’s services. 
`Trademark Act Section 2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); see TMEP §§1209.01(b), 1209.03 et seq.
`
` A
`
` mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature,
`purpose, or use of an applicant’s goods and/or services.  TMEP §1209.01(b);
`see In re
`Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1421 (Fed. Cir. 2005); In re Gyulay, 820
`F.2d 1216, 1217-18, 3 USPQ2d 1009, 1009-10 (Fed. Cir. 1987). 
`
` A
`
` novel spelling or an intentional misspelling that is the phonetic equivalent of a merely descriptive
`word or term is also merely descriptive if purchasers would perceive the different spelling as the
`equivalent of the descriptive word or term. See In re Quik-Print Copy Shop, Inc., 616 F.2d 523, 526 &
`n.9, 205 USPQ 505, 507 & n.9 (C.C.P.A. 1980) (holding “QUIK-PRINT,” phonetic spelling of “quick-
`print,” merely descriptive of printing and photocopying services); In re Calphalon Corp., 122 USPQ2d
`1153, 1163 (TTAB 2017) (holding “SHARPIN”, phonetic spelling of “sharpen,” merely descriptive of
`cutlery knife blocks with built-in sharpeners); In re Carlson, 91 USPQ2d 1198, 1203 (TTAB 2009)
`(holding “URBANHOUZING,” phonetic spelling of “urban” and “housing,” merely descriptive of real
`estate services); TMEP §1209.03(j).
`
`
`
`Here, applicant seeks to register them mark, LEAGALLEADZ, for "Software as a service (SaaS)
`services featuring software for marketing and identifying potential legal clients, generating referrals for
`legal cases between other law firms and lawyers, and managing multiple case opportunities and
`evaluating for quality and case conversion potential, and for sharing of fees and other consideration."   
`
`
`The term "LEADS" is an intentional misspelling of the term "LEADS."  The previously sent definitions
`shows that "LEADS" means "a potential opportunity."  The attached evidence shows that "legal leads"
`refers to potential client contact information.  Thus, the wording merely describes that applicant offers
`referrals as potential client opportunities in the legal field, specifically in the form of a referral.  
`
`Applicant argues that the combinations of terms in its mark makes the mark suggestive because it does
`not immediately describe the applicant's services.   “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, someone that knows what applicant's services are
`would immediately recognize that the mark describes a feature of the services, namely, that they can be
`used for finding potential client contact information in the legal field.
`
`

`

`

`“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.
`
` A
`
` mark does not need to be merely descriptive of all the goods or services specified in an application. 
`In re Chamber of Commerce of the U.S., 675 F.3d 1297, 1300, 102 USPQ2d 1217, 1219 (Fed. Cir.
`2012); In re Zuma Array Ltd., 2022 USPQ2d 736, at *5-6 (TTAB 2022).  “A descriptiveness refusal is
`proper ‘if the mark is descriptive of any of the [goods or] services for which registration is sought.’”  In
`re Chamber of Commerce of the U.S., 675 F.3d at 1300, 102 USPQ2d at 1219 (quoting In re
`Stereotaxis Inc., 429 F.3d 1039, 1040, 77 USPQ2d 1087, 1089 (Fed. Cir. 2005)).  
`
`
`Applicant also argues that its mark is not a word in the English language.   The fact that an applicant
`may be the first or only user of a merely descriptive designation does not necessarily render a word or
`term incongruous or distinctive where, as in this case, the evidence shows that the applied-for mark is
`merely descriptive.  See In re Zuma Array Ltd., 2022 USPQ2d 736, at *16-17 (TTAB 2022) (quoting In
`re Fallon, 2020 USPQ2d 11249, at *11 (TTAB 2020)); In re Fat Boys Water Sports LLC, 118 USPQ2d
`1511, 1514 (TTAB 2016); TMEP §1209.03(c).
`
`Here, the attached and previously sent information shows that "leads" refers to potential business
`referrals.  Applicant's identification indicates that its services can be used for "generating referrals for
`legal cases between law firms and lawyers."  Thus, the wording merely describes a feature of the
`services, namely that the service can be used for generating leads in the legal field.
`
`Applicant argues that any doubt regarding the mark’s descriptiveness should be resolved on applicant’s
`behalf.  E.g., In re Merrill Lynch, Pierce, Fenner & Smith, Inc., 828 F.2d 1567, 1571, 4 USPQ2d 1141,
`1144 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In re Zuma Array Ltd., 2022 USPQ2d 736, at *8 (TTAB 2022) (quoting In re
`Fallon, 2020 USPQ2d 11249, at *8 (TTAB 2020)).  However, in the present case, the evidence of
`record leaves no doubt that the mark is merely descriptive.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by
`submitting evidence and arguments in support of registration.
`
`Advisory: Supplemental Register
`Although an amendment to the Supplemental Register would be an appropriate response to this
`refusal(s) in an application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) or 44, such a response is not
`appropriate in the present case. The instant application was filed under Section 1(b) and is not eligible
`for registration on the Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use meeting the
`requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been timely filed. 37 C.F.R. §2.47(d); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`If applicant files an acceptable allegation of use and also amends to the Supplemental Register, the
`application effective filing date will be the date applicant met the minimum filing requirements under
`37 C.F.R. §2.76(c) for an amendment to allege use. TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03; see 37 C.F.R. §2.75(b).
`In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the USPTO
`records for conflicting marks based on the later application filing date. TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
`
`
`

`

`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).

`Here's How to Generate Legal Leads(for
`Attorneys)

`If you're an attorney, you need legalleadslike anyone else. Luckily, there are many ways te
`generate the legal leads you need.
`
`Here, we'll go through the best ways to generate legalleads, both free and paid. We'll review
`and compare tools and techniques to generate legal leads. That way, you'll be able to choose
`the best method of generatingall the legal leads you need.
`
`Let's getstarted.
`
`WhatAre Legal Leads?
`Legalleads usually refer to users’ contactinformation who could become potential clients for
`an attorney or alegalfirm.
`
`These leads usually have at least the person's name andinformation. Better legal leadswill
`also offer a complete profile of the person to allow users to tailor their marketing strategy
`toward them

`also offer a complete profile of the person to allowusersto tailor their marketing strategy
`toward them
`
`

`

`Since legal leads can often be converted intolife-long customers, good legal leads can be
`expensive to generate. Multiple tools can help users generate legal leads at lowerprices, often
`sacrificing data and lead quality in exchange for a lowerprice.
`
`Legal Leads for Attorneys: How DoesThis
`Work?
`
`There are multiple tools and techniques to generate legalleads for attorneys. Users can
`generate leads through paid solutions, marketing efforts, or a combination of both.
`
`Paid solutions are the fastest way to generate legal leads, although they can quickly become
`expensive. These solutions include pay-per-click (PPC) advertisement, website, and content
`marketing, as well as lead generation tools. Whereas marketing and advertisement count on
`users to make the first step, lead generation tools can proactively and effectively generate
`legal leads.
`
`Users may also generate legal leads through free techniques,like referrals, content creation,
`search engine optimization, and more. While these techniques are often cheap and can be
`effective, they will likely take longer to generate leads.

`As oneofthe largest legal lead generationtools, Avvo uses multiple online marketing methods
`to attract users needing legal advice to their websites and connect them to lawyers and law
`firms.
`
`Avvo offers afree Q&A service to get answers tosimple legal queries fromlawyers as a free
`consultation.
`It also features a lawyer directoryfor new clients to find attorneys and lawfirms
`that are convenient for them
`
`Theplatform also offers a novel lawyer review system, allowing potential legalclients to get
`insight from others who have used the legal services they seek
`
`These features allow attorneys to cannectwith quality leads. However, the platform has gotten
`into trouble because ofits limited rating system, and Awo signs lawyers upwithout their
`consent. Once they've been added, getting deletedis not an option
`
`These downsides often leadattorneys to look for more open and personalized solutions to
`access exclusive legal leads.

`Another tool specializing in quality leads for attorneys is UnbundledAttorney. This small
`company offers unbundled legal services and only serves certain practice areas.

`law firm competing for the same lead. The platform also focuses on lead education, which
`helps diminish the cost per lead
