`(cid:160)
`
`
`Registration of the applied-for mark is refused as to “watches, car magnets, car flags, and clothing, namely, sweat shirts and fleeces” because of
`a likelihood of confusion with the marks in U.S. Registration Nos. 1532657, 1858662, and 3370320.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`§1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registrations.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`rademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that so resembles a registered mark that it is likely that a potential consumer
`would be confused or mistaken or deceived as to the source of the goods of the applicant and registrant.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).(cid:160) The court in In
`re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (C.C.P.A. 1973) listed the principal factors to be considered when
`determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d).(cid:160) See TMEP §1207.01.(cid:160) However, not all of the factors are necessarily
`relevant or of equal weight, and any one factor may be dominant in a given case, depending upon the evidence of record.(cid:160) In re Majestic
`Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 1315, 65 USPQ2d 1201, 1204 (Fed. Cir. 2003); see In re E. I. du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361-62, 177 USPQ at 567.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the following factors are the most relevant:(cid:160) similarity of the marks, similarity of the goods, and similarity of trade channels of the
`goods.(cid:160) See In re Opus One, Inc., 60 USPQ2d 1812 (TTAB 2001); In re Dakin’s Miniatures Inc. , 59 USPQ2d 1593 (TTAB 1999); In re Azteca
`Rest. Enters., Inc., 50 USPQ2d 1209 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant is applying for LA in stylized form for use with Watches, Car magnets, Car flags, Clothing, namely, sweat shirts and fleeces,
`Christmas ornaments.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he prior registrations are owned by the same entity and are for LA in stylized form for use with “decorative magnets”, “WATCHES AND
`JEWELRY, NAMELY, PINS, BATTING HELMET WRISTWATCHES” “PENNANTS”, and “clothing; namely, shirts, shorts, underwear,
`jackets, sweaters, visors, hats, caps, cloth bibs, undershirt and diaper pants set, baby pants, uniforms relating to the game of baseball, sweatshirts,
`knitted headwear, scarves.”
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`omparison of the Marks
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n a likelihood of confusion determination, the marks are compared for similarities in their appearance, sound, meaning or connotation and
`commercial impression.(cid:160) In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361, 177 USPQ 563, 567 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01(b).(cid:160)
`Similarity in any one of these elements may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion.(cid:160) In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB
`1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n this case, the marks are highly similar in design.(cid:160) The marks feature the letters “LA”, with the letter “A” superimposed on the letter “L” so
`that the L forms a portion of the letter “A.”
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`omparison of the Goods
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he goods of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion. (cid:160) See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Dresser Indus.,
`Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i).(cid:160) Rather, it is sufficient that the goods and/or services are
`related in some manner and/or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the same purchasers under
`circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source.(cid:160) In re Total Quality Group,
`Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87,
`56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed.
`Cir. 1984).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant’s identified goods are related to the registrant’s identified goods because the goods are identical or encompassed by the more broadly
`defined goods in the registration or application.(cid:160) For instance, “watches” and “sweat shirts” are identical.
`(cid:160) Further, the prior registrants
`“jackets” encompass the applicant’s more narrowly defined “fleeces.” (cid:160)(cid:160) Similarly, the prior registrant’s broadly defined “decorative magnets”
`and “pennants” encompass applicant’s more narrowly defined “car magnets” and “car flags”.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he examining attorney must resolve any doubt regarding a likelihood of confusion in favor of the prior registrant.(cid:160) TMEP §1207.01(d)(i); see
`Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1265, 62 USPQ2d 1001, 1003 (Fed. Cir. 2002); In re Hyper Shoppes (Ohio), Inc.,
`837 F.2d 463, 464-65, 6 USPQ2d 1025, 1025 (Fed. Cir. 1988).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he similarity in the marks and the goods creates a likelihood of confusion among consumers as to the source of the goods.(cid:160) Therefore,
`applicant’s mark is refused registration under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may respond to the stated refusal by submitting evidence and arguments against the refusal.(cid:160) In addition, applicant may respond by
`doing one of the following:
`
`(1)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Deleting the classes to which the refusal pertains;
`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Filing a request to divide out the goods and/or services that have not been refused registration, so that the mark may proceed toward
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`
`
`publication for opposition in the class to which the refusal does not pertain.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.87. (cid:160) See generally TMEP §§1110 et seq.
`(regarding the requirements for filing a request to divide).(cid:160) If applicant files a request to divide, then to avoid abandonment, applicant
`must also file a timely response to all outstanding issues in this Office action, including the refusal.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.87(e).; or
`
`(3)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Amending the basis for such classes, if appropriate.(cid:160) TMEP §806.03(h).(cid:160) (The basis cannot be changed for applications filed under
`Trademark Act Section 66(a).(cid:160) TMEP §1904.01(a).)
`
`Identification of Goods
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he wording “car magnets” “car flags”, “fleeces” and “Christmas ornaments” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified
`because it is too broad and could include goods in other international classes.(cid:160) See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03. (cid:160) Applicant classified the goods
`and/or services “watches” in International Class 9, and “car magnets” in Class 16; however, the correct classification is International Class 14
`for watches, and International Class 9 for “car magnets”. (cid:160) Applicant must either delete these goods and/or services or amend the classification of
`these items.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(7),(cid:160) 2.85; TMEP §§1401.02(a), 1401.04(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant may substitute the following wording and classification, if accurate:(cid:160)(cid:160)

`LASS 21
`Christmas ornaments of porcelain not for Christmas trees
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`LASS 28
`Christmas tree ornaments
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`dentifications of goods can be amended only to clarify or limit the goods; adding to or broadening the scope of the goods is not permitted.(cid:160) 37
`C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07.(cid:160) Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include goods that are not
`within the scope of the goods set forth in the present identification.

`or assistance with identifying and classifying goods and/or services in trademark applications, please see the online searchable Manual of
