`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`
`(cid:160)D
`
`escription Of Mark
`The applied-for mark is not in standard characters and applicant did not provide a description of the mark with the initial application.(cid:160)
`Applications for marks not in standard characters must include an accurate and concise description of the entire mark that identifies literal
`
`elements as well as any design elements.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.37; TMEP §§808.01, 808.02, 808.03(b).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, applicant must provide a description of the applied-for mark.(cid:160) The following is suggested:
`
`The mark consists of the stylized letters “HB”. (cid:160) Written vertically inside the left portion of the letter H is the word HUGO, and
`written vertically inside the left portion of the letter B is the word BOSS.
`
`Claim Of Ownership Of Prior Registrations
`If applicant owns U.S. Registration Nos. 1594225, 1614935, 4045496 and others, then applicant must submit for the application record a claim
`
`of ownership of these registrations.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812.(cid:160) See the attached copies of the registrations.(cid:160) See TMEP §812.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Applicant may use the following format to claim ownership of these registrations:
`
`Applicant is the owner of U.S. Registration Nos. 1594225, 1614935, 4045496 and others.
`
`Name Of An Individual
`The applied-for mark contains the name “Hugo Boss” and appears to identify a particular living individual; however, the application does not
`include this named party’s written consent to registration of the name as a trademark/service mark.(cid:160) Written consent is required for registration
`of a mark containing a name, including a pseudonym, stage name or nickname, or signature, if the name or signature identifies a particular living
`individual.(cid:160) Trademark Act Section 2(c), 15 U.S.C. §1052(c); TMEP §§813, 1206.04(a).(cid:160) Therefore, applicant must clarify whether this
`name/signature identifies a particular living individual and, if so, provide a written consent from this individual, as explained further below.(cid:160) 37
`
`C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§813, 1206.04(a).(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`If the name or signature in the mark does not identify a particular living individual, then applicant must submit a statement that the name
`“HUGO BOSS” does not identify a living individual. (cid:160) TMEP §§813.01(b), 1206.05; see 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f the name or signature in the mark does identify a particular living individual, then applicant must submit the following:(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`(1)(cid:160) A statement that the name “HUGO BOSS” identifies a living individual whose consent is of record.(cid:160) If the name represents that of a
`pseudonym, stage name, or nickname, applicant must include a statement that (cid:160) HUGO BOSS identifies the [indicate pseudonym/stage
`name/nickname] of [specify actual name], a living individual whose consent is of record; and
`
`(2)(cid:160) A written consent, personally signed by the individual whose name or signature appears in the mark, authorizing applicant to register
`the name, pseudonym, stage name, nickname, or signature as a trademark and/or service mark with the USPTO (e.g., “I consent to the
`use and registration by Hugo Boss Trade Mark Management of my name “HUGO BOSS” as a trademark and/or service mark with the
`USPTO”).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §§813, 813.01(a), 1206.04(a); see 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b).
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`ailure to respond to this inquiry is a sufficient basis for refusing registration.(cid:160) See In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85 USPQ2d 1917, 1919 (TTAB
`2008); In re DTI P’ship LLP , 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §814.
`
`(cid:160)P
`
`lease be advised that consent is required for registration of a pseudonym, stage name or nickname, if the name identifies a specific living
`individual.(cid:160) TMEP §813.
`
`Identification Of Goods – International Class 18
`The identification of goods is too broad and must be clarified because it could include products classified in more than one international class.(cid:160)
`See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.(cid:160) Not all leather products are classified in International Class 18 and bags could include a
`wide variety of products in several international classes. (cid:160) Similarly, headgear could include products classified in more than one international
`class. The identification must be specific, definite and concise.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he identification of goods also contains parentheses.(cid:160) Generally, parentheses and brackets should not be used in identifications.(cid:160) Parenthetical
`information is permitted in identifications only if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in
`such a way that it does not affect the clarity of the identification, e.g., “obi (Japanese sash).” (cid:160) TMEP §1402.12.(cid:160)
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification of goods and/or services and incorporate the parenthetical information
`
`into the description.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of goods and/or services from that
`assigned by the International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). (cid:160)
`Further, in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer goods and/or services from one existing international class to
`another.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); see TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, any modification to this wording must identify goods and/or services in International Class 18, the classification specified in the
`application for these goods and/or services.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following substitute wording is suggested, if accurate:(cid:160) “Leather and imitations of leather, and goods made of these materials, namely,
`[identify each and every product using common commercial terms, e.g., all-purpose leather straps, attaché cases made of leather and of
`imitation leather, briefcases, key case of leather and imitation leather and hat boxes of leather]; trunks and suitcases; leather and imitation
`leather bags; umbrellas and parasols.”
`
`Identification Of Goods – International Class 25
`The wording “clothing” in the identification of goods is indefinite and must be clarified because it does not specify the types of clothing for
`which the mark is used.(cid:160) See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.(cid:160) Applicant must amend the identification by inserting the word “namely,” after
`“clothing” and indicating the specific types of clothing items (e.g., shirts, pants, coats, dresses). (cid:160) See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03(a).
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of goods and/or services from that
`assigned by the International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). (cid:160)
`Therefore, although clothing can be classified in international classes other than International Class 25 (e.g., International Classes 9, 10, and 18),
`any modification to the identification must identify goods in International Class 25 only, the class specified in the application for such goods.
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`dditionally, the identification of goods and/or services contains parentheses.(cid:160) Generally, parentheses and brackets should not be used in
`identifications.(cid:160) Parenthetical information is permitted in identifications only if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding
`
`the parenthetical phrase in such a way that it does not affect the clarity of the identification, e.g., “obi (Japanese sash).” (cid:160) TMEP §1402.12.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification of goods and/or services and incorporate the parenthetical information
`
`into the description.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`The following substitute wording is suggested, if accurate:(cid:160) “Clothing for men, women and children , namely, [identify each and every product
`using common commercial terms, e.g., shorts, shirts, pants, skirts, dresses, coats, jackets, hats, socks, pajamas and bathing suits];
`stockings; headwear; underwear; nightwear; swimwear; bathrobes; belts, also made of leather; shawls; accessories, namely headscarves, neck
`scarves, shoulder scarves, dress handkerchiefs in the nature of [clarify goods, noting that handkerchiefs of paper are classified in
`International Class 16 and textile handkerchiefs are classified in International Class 24]; ties; gloves; shoes and boots.”
`
`Identification Of Goods – International Class 26
`The wording “pins” and “badges” in the identification of goods and/or services is too broad and must be clarified because it could include
`goods classified in more than one international class.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03.(cid:160) The identification is also indefinite
`and must be amended to identify each product using common commercial terms.(cid:160) The identification must be specific, definite and concise.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he identification of goods also contains parentheses.(cid:160) Generally, parentheses and brackets should not be used in identifications.(cid:160) Parenthetical
`information is permitted in identifications only if it serves to explain or translate the matter immediately preceding the parenthetical phrase in
`
`such a way that it does not affect the clarity of the identification, e.g., “obi (Japanese sash).” (cid:160) TMEP §1402.12.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`Therefore, applicant must remove the parentheses from the identification of goods and/or services and incorporate the parenthetical information
`
`into the description.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In an application filed under Trademark Act Section 66(a), an applicant may not change the classification of goods and/or services from that
`assigned by the International Bureau in the corresponding international registration.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); TMEP §§1401.03(d), 1904.02(b). (cid:160)
`Further, in a multiple-class Section 66(a) application, an applicant may not transfer goods and/or services from one existing international class to
`another.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.85(d); see TMEP §§1402.07(a), 1904.02(c).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, any modification to this wording must identify goods and/or services in International Class 26, the classification specified in the
`application for these goods and/or services.
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following substitute wording is suggested, if accurate:(cid:160) “Lace and embroidery, ribbons and braid; buttons, hooks and eyes, sewing pins and
`needles; artificial flowers; ornamental novelty badges; patches in the nature of appliques; bands and cords for clothing, namely, [clarify
`goods, e.g., arm bands, expanding bands for holding sleeves and decorative cords]; brooches for clothing; snap fasteners; iron-on patches
`for mending textiles; belt clasps; collar stays; zip fasteners; zip fasteners for bags; shoe laces; shoe eyelets; shoe buckles.”
`
`Additions To Identification Not Permitted
`An applicant may amend an identification of goods and services only to clarify or limit the goods and services; adding to or broadening the
`scope of the goods and/or services is not permitted.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07 et seq.
