`
`
`REQUEST FOR RECONSIDERATION AFTER FINAL ACTION DENIED
`
`Issue date:   July 11, 2023
`
`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 the outstanding issue, (3) provide any new or compelling evidence with
`regard to the outstanding issue, or (4) present analysis and arguments that were persuasive or shed new
`light on the outstanding issue.  TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).  
`
`Accordingly, the following refusal made final in the Office action dated April 6, 2023 is  maintained
`and continued: 
`
`
`•
`
`Refusal under §2(e)(4) of the Trademark Act
`
`
`See TMEP §§715.03(a)(ii)(B), 715.04(a).
`
`As the Federal Circuit has made clear,  an applicant’s mark is primarily merely a surname if the
`surname, when viewed in connection with the applicant’s recited goods, “‘is the primary significance of
`the mark as a whole to the purchasing public’” (emphasis added).    Earnhardt v. Kerry Earnhardt, Inc.,
`864 F.3d 1374, 1377, 123 USPQ2d 1411, 1413  (Fed. Cir. 2017)  (quoting  In re Hutchinson Tech. Inc.,
`852 F.2d 552, 554, 7 USPQ2d 1490, 1492 (Fed. Cir. 1988)); TMEP §1211.01.
`
`In this case, the examining attorney has established with abundant evidence that Abrams is a common
`surname well known to the purchasing public.  See attached news reports and articles, as well as
`dictionary definitions.  The examining attorney notes that t he determination of whether a surname is
`common or rare is not done solely by comparing the number of listings of the surname to the total
`number of listings in a computerized database, because even the most common surname would
`represent only a small fraction of the database. In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d 1792, 1795 (TTAB 2004).
`Rather, if a surname appears routinely in news reports or articles and receives media publicity so as to
`be broadly exposed to the general public, then such surname is not rare and its primary significance to
`purchasers would be that of a surname, as is the case here. See In re Beds & Bars Ltd., 122 USPQ2d
`
`

`

`1546, 1551 (TTAB 2017); In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d at 1795; TMEP §1211.01(a)(v).  
`
`Much of applicant's argument in favor of registration on the Principal Register rests on its claims that
`"the surname 'Abrams' is not connected with anyone associated with Applicant," and that it "chose the
`mark specifically because it is closely associated with something that is not a surname -- the Abrams
`tank."  However, the fact that “a proposed mark is not applicant’s surname, or the surname of an officer
`or employee, does not tend to establish one way or the other whether the proposed mark would be
`perceived as a surname.” In re Thermo LabSystems Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1285, 1287 (TTAB 2007)
`(quoting In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d 1792, 1795 (TTAB 2004)); see In re Adlon Brand GmbH & Co.
`KG, 120 USPQ2d 1717, 1724 (TTAB 2016).  In a surname analysis, the absence of a person connected
`with applicant that has this term as a surname is a neutral factor. In re Thermo LabSystems Inc., 85
`USPQ2d at 1287.  
`
`
`Moreover, applicant's own  subjective desire to associate its products with the U.S. Army's Abrams tank
`(famously named after General Creighton Abrams) is not relevant to the legal standard at issue in this
`case, which is the primary significance of the surname Abrams "to the purchasing public."   The
`examining attorney previously submitted the Army's  Registration No. 1359136 for ABRAMS (in typed
`format) for "tanks," which was registered under §2(f) of the Trademark Act precisely because Abrams
`is primarily merely a surname, and therefore not inherently distinctive. 
`
`However, in an attempt to bolster its argument that the surname Abrams is inherently distinctive in this
`case because applicant wishes to make an association with the Army's Abrams tank, applicant states
`that "[u]ntil 1955 or so, 'McDonalds' was merely a surname.  But after selling millions of hamburgers,
`the public came to associate the surname with fast food restaurants."  It is noteworthy that applicant
`highlights McDonald's®restaurants, because its argument is directly at odds with the well-settled rule
`that evidence of a term’s recognition and fame (e.g., consumer surveys, promotional expenditures) is
`only relevant to prove acquired distinctiveness under Trademark Act Section 2(f), and is not pertinent
`to a determination of surname significance.   SeeIn re McDonald’s Corp., 230 USPQ 304, 307 (TTAB
`1986) (holding McDONALD’S primarily merely a surname despite applicant’s evidence of secondary
`meaning, noting that, absent a claim of secondary meaning under Section 2(f), “registration must be
`refused”);  In re Cazes, 21 USPQ2d 1796, 1797 (TTAB 1991) (holding BRASSERIE LIPP primarily
`merely a surname despite applicant’s evidence of the mark’s fame, noting that applicant did not make a
`Section 2(f) claim and, without a formal claim of distinctiveness, “evidence of fame [could not] serve
`as the basis for allowing registration of applicant’s mark”);  TMEP §1211.02(b)(vii).
`
`Finally, the examining attorney notes that Abrams has the structure and pronunciation of a surname. 
`The examining attorney has attached evidence showing similar surnames Abraham, Abram and
`Abrahams appearing 87238, 14666 and 7067   times, respectively, as surnames in  the Lexis® surname
`database, which is a weekly updated directory of cell phone and other phone numbers (such as voice
`over IP) from various data providers.   See attached printouts.   Evidence that a term has the structure
`and pronunciation of a surname contributes to a finding that the primary significance of the term is that
`of a surname. In re tapio GmbH, 2020 USPQ2d 11387, at *12 (TTAB 2020) (citing In re Giger, 78
`USPQ2d 1405, 1409 (TTAB 2006)); In re Eximius Coffee, LLC, 120 USPQ2d 1276, 1280 (TTAB
`2016); see; TMEP §1211.01(a)(vi).
`
`In short, the evidence of record overwhelmingly demonstrates that the applied-for mark is not
`inherently distinctive because its primary significance to the purchasing public is that of a surname. 
`The examining attorney therefore continues and maintains his final refusal under §2(e)(4) of the
`Trademark Act.
`
`

`

`     
`Since  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).

`
`A yearago, Bad Robot wasdevelopingthe IP asa limited series with Zwick and
`Herskovitz attached to adapt, and Zwick lookingto direct a goodportionofthe
`episodes,if notall.
`Not one of King’s horrornovels, Susmers focuses on a 44-year-old hitman, the
`eponymousBilly Summers, whois considering retirement whenhe accepts one
`last job from a regularclient.(“Onelast job” is always synonymouswith“Things
`go awry. but we'll get to that in a moment.) Taking up a coverstory that he is a
`novelist, Summers ensconceshimselfin a small townasheprepsforthe hit, and
`in his spare time actually begins to write a novel, which turnsintohislife story,
`fromhislittle sister being killed by their mother's boyfriend to him becoming a

`withthe 2009 reboot that starred Chris Pine and Zachary Quinto. He then
