`
`COMMUNICATION
`
`This is in response to the Office Action dated
`
`November 18, 1963 (Paper No. 1) concerning the above-identified
`
`trademark application.
`
`The refusal to register the subject mark is so
`
`resembling Registrations 751,321 and 649,357 as to be likely
`
`to cause confusion or to cause mistake or to deceave isfi
`
`respectfully traversed. Registration Number 751,321 was
`
`the subject of Cancellation Number 9,170, wherein Judgment
`
`was entered granting applicant's Petition for Cancellation
`
`on October 3, 1968 and Commissioner indicated that the Regis-
`
`tration 751,32l would be cancelled in due course. Therefore
`
`this registration is no longer in reference to this matter.
`
`With respect to Registration 6491357 the Cherub
`
`shown in the drawing is blowing a horn and cannot in any
`
`way be considered to be a Cupid. Further,
`
`in addition to
`
`the difference between the two designs, one design is used
`
`on women's hose and the other is used on women's under gar-
`
`ments, namely girdles. Considering the differences between
`
`both the goods and the marks, considered in their entirety
`
`H
`
`

`
`.“lW
`
`there would appear to be no likeihood of confusion.
`/,/” ”¢dfif2J%:mi
`Applicant encloses herewith packages showing the
`
`’
`
`mark as used on the package within which areplaced the goods.
`
`The specimens submitted by applicant were the mark as
`
`applied directly to the goods. This package, one which,
`
`in some variations has been used since 1944, shows that the
`
`design has always be associated with the goods in a trademark
`
`sense and can in no way be considered merely an ornament to
`
`the girdle. Further in support of these specimens, applicant
`
`encloses herewith the affidavit of the President of applicant
`
`corporation showing that the specimen as submitted was in use
`
`prior to filing of the application.
`
`In View of the foregoing,an early registration is
`
`respectfully requested.

`
`Upon examination, registration is refused because
`
`the mark, as applied to applicant's goods, so resembles the
`

`
`cause mistake or to deceive:

`
`Registration on the Principal Register is also
`
`refused on the ground that applicant's mark as presented on
`
`its specimens appear to be in the nature of an ornamental
`
`design and does not serve the prupose of indicating origin
`
`in the goods of applicant. See Ex parte Zucker d/b/a J. F.
`
`Zucker Go. 111 UfiPQ hh2.
`
`If applicant contends that its design does function
`
`as a mark this application will be reevaluated upon receipt
`
`of evidence showing promotion of the design as a trademark and
`
`recognition by the purchasing public as a source of origin
`
`identifying applicant's goods.
