`STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER
`TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE
`RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.
`
`OFFICE ACTION
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`SSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/28/2012
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`PPLICATION STATUS
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issue(s) below.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`EARCH FOR CONFLICTING MARKS
`
`The trademark examining attorney has searched the Office’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no conflicting marks that
`would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).(cid:160) TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`(cid:160)D
`
`ISCLAIMER
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “FIGHT CLUB” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes characteristics of
`the services.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`(cid:160)T
`
`he Office can require an applicant to disclaim an unregistrable part of a mark consisting of particular wording, symbols, numbers, design
`elements or combinations thereof.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1056(a).(cid:160) Under Trademark Act Section 2(e), the Office can refuse registration of an entire mark
`if the entire mark is merely descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, or primarily geographically descriptive of the goods.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C. §1052(e).(cid:160)
`Thus, the Office may require an applicant to disclaim a portion of a mark that, when used in connection with the goods or services, is merely
`descriptive, deceptively misdescriptive, primarily geographically descriptive, or otherwise unregistrable (e.g., generic).(cid:160) See TMEP §§1213,
`
`1213.03.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The word “fight” means in part to engage in boxing or wrestling. The term “club” is defined in part as “an organization for people who have a
`common interest in a particular activity or subject.” (cid:160) See attached online dictionary definition.
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160) Material obtained from the Internet is generally accepted as competent evidence.(cid:160) See In re Davey Prods. Pty Ltd., 92 USPQ2d 1198, 1202-03
`
`(TTAB 2009) (accepting Internet evidence to show relatedness of goods in a likelihood of confusion determination); In re Rodale Inc., 80
`USPQ2d 1696, 1700 (TTAB 2006) (accepting Internet evidence to show genericness); In re White, 80 USPQ2d 1654, 1662 (TTAB 2006)
`(accepting Internet evidence to show false suggestion of a connection); In re Joint-Stock Co. “Baik”, 80 USPQ2d 1305, 1308-09 (TTAB 2006)
`(accepting Internet evidence to show geographic significance); In re Consol. Specialty Rests. Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1921, 1927-29 (TTAB 2004)
`(accepting Internet evidence to show geographic location is well-known for particular goods); In re Gregory, 70 USPQ2d 1792, 1793, 1795
`(TTAB 2004) (accepting Internet evidence to show surname significance); In re Fitch IBCA Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1058, 1060-61 (TTAB 2002)
`(accepting Internet evidence to show descriptiveness); TBMP §1208.03; TMEP §710.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)C
`
`ollectively, “FIGHT CLUB” immediately conveys to consumers that applicant is an organization for people interested in boxing, wrestling,
`and mixed martial arts.(cid:160) Indeed, applicant’s submitted specimen shows that applicant offers a membership for events and membership benefits
`related to boxing, fights and mixed martial arts. Therefore, the wording “FIGHT CLUB” is descriptive in the context of the services and must be
`disclaimed.
`
`(cid:160)F
`
`ailure to comply with a disclaimer requirement can result in a refusal to register the entire mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1213.01(b).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
` “disclaimer” is a statement that applicant does not claim exclusive rights to an unregistrable component of a mark. (cid:160) TMEP §1213.(cid:160) A
`
`disclaimer does not affect the appearance of the applied-for mark.(cid:160) See TMEP §1213.10.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`A disclaimer does not physically remove the disclaimed matter from the mark, but rather is a written statement that applicant does not claim
`exclusive rights to the disclaimed wording and/or design separate and apart from the mark as shown in the drawing.(cid:160) TMEP §§1213, 1213.10.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he following cases further explain the disclaimer requirement:(cid:160) Dena Corp. v. Belvedere Int’l Inc ., 950 F.2d 1555, 21 USPQ2d 1047 (Fed. Cir.
`1991); In re Brown-Forman Corp., 81 USPQ2d 1284 (TTAB 2006); In re Kraft, Inc., 218 USPQ 571 (TTAB 1983).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer.(cid:160) TMEP
`§1213.08(a)(i).(cid:160) The following is the standard format used by the Office:
`
`No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “FIGHT CLUB” apart from the mark as shown.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`SSISTANCE
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.(cid:160) All relevant e-
`mail communications will be placed in the official application record; however, an e-mail communication will not be accepted as a response to
`this Office action and will not extend the deadline for filing a proper response.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §2.191; TMEP §§304.01-.02, 709.04-.05.(cid:160) Further,
`although the trademark examining attorney may provide additional explanation pertaining to the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in this Office
`action, the trademark examining attorney may not provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights. (cid:160) See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.
