`TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
`REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE:(cid:160) Applicants who filed their application online
`using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office
`actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address; and (3)
`agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application.(cid:160) See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b);
`TMEP §§819, 820.(cid:160) TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $50 per
`international class of goods and/or services.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04.(cid:160) However, in certain situations,
`TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone without incurring
`
`this additional fee.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The 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.
`
`Prior Pending Applications
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he filing date of pending Application Serial Nos. 79067304, 85153958 and 86491036 precedes applicant’s filing date.(cid:160) See attached referenced
`applications.(cid:160) If one or more of the marks in the referenced applications register, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark
`Act Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered mark(s).(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et
`seq.(cid:160) Therefore, upon receipt of applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final disposition
`of the earlier-filed referenced application.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict
`between applicant’s mark and the marks in the referenced applications.(cid:160) Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way
`limits applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ection 2(d) – Likelihood of Confusion
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`HIS REFUSAL APPLIES ONLY TO THE GOODS AND SERVICES SPECIFIED THEREIN
`
`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 3713604.(cid:160) Trademark
`Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.(cid:160) See the enclosed registration.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n any likelihood of confusion determination, two key considerations are similarity of the marks and similarity or relatedness of the goods and/or
`services.(cid:160) Syndicat Des Proprietaires Viticulteurs De Chateauneuf-Du-Pape v. Pasquier DesVignes, 107 USPQ2d 1930, 1938 (TTAB 2013)
`(citing Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard Paper Co., 544 F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (C.C.P.A. 1976)); In re Iolo Techs., LLC, 95
`USPQ2d 1498, 1499 (TTAB 2010); see TMEP §1207.01.(cid:160) That is, the marks are compared in their entireties for similarities in appearance,
`sound, connotation, and commercial impression.(cid:160) In re Viterra Inc., 671 F.3d 1358, 1362, 101 USPQ2d 1905, 1908 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting 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)-(b)(v).(cid:160) Additionally, the
`goods and/or services are compared to determine whether they are similar or commercially related or travel in the same trade channels.(cid:160) See
`Coach Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1369-71, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1722-23 (Fed. Cir. 2012); Herbko Int’l, Inc. v.
`Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1165, 64 USPQ2d 1375, 1381 (Fed. Cir. 2002); TMEP §1207.01, (a)(vi).
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Mark
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`n a likelihood of confusion determination, the marks in their entireties are compared for similarities in appearance, sound, 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)-
`
`(b)(v).(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`In the present case, applicant’s mark is EDGE and registrant’s mark is EDGE.(cid:160) Thus, the marks are identical in terms of appearance and sound.(cid:160)
`In addition, the connotation and commercial impression of the marks do not differ when considered in connection with applicant’s and
`registrant’s respective goods and/or services.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`herefore, the marks are confusingly similar.(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160) Goods/Services
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he applicant’s relevant goods/services are “ Downloadable electronic publications in the nature of mobile, on-computer and on-console
`gaming in the field of games software and hardware,” in Class 009; “ Printed matter, namely, paper signs, books, manuals, curricula,
`newsletters, informational cards and brochures in the field of computer and video game software and hardware,” in Class 016; and “ Non-
`downloadable electronic publications in the nature of mobile, on-computer and on-console gaming in the field of games software and hardware,
`
`(cid:160)(cid:160)
`

`

`” in Class 041. (cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The registrant’s goods are “ printed matter and publications, namely, magazines, newspapers, journals and columns and sections within such
`magazines, newspapers and journals, all in the fields of business, entertainment, and education relating to computers, computer software,
`computer games, video games, hand-held games, interactive media.”
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`(cid:160) The fact that applicant
`he subject matter of the applicant’s and registrant’s publications is video game software and video game hardware.
`also has downloadable and non-downloadable electronic publications does not change the relatedness of the goods and services.(cid:160) It is common
`for gaming publications to have electronic versions and non-downloadable electronic versions (see attachments from PC GAMER and XBOX
`
`Magazine).(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The overriding concern is not only to prevent buyer confusion as to the source of the goods and/or services, but to protect the registrant from
`adverse commercial impact due to use of a similar mark by a newcomer.(cid:160) See In re Shell Oil Co., 992 F.2d 1204, 1208, 26 USPQ2d 1687, 1690
`(Fed. Cir. 1993).(cid:160) Therefore, any doubt regarding a likelihood of confusion determination is resolved in favor of the 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, 1026 (Fed. Cir. 1988).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in
`support of registration.(cid:160) If applicant responds to the refusal(s), applicant must also respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.

`
`(cid:160)A
`
`pplicant submitted a printout from an intellectual property office’s website to satisfy the statutory requirement under Trademark Act Section
`44(e) for a true copy, photocopy, certification, or certified copy of a foreign registration from the applicant’s country of origin.(cid:160) 15 U.S.C.
`§1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01.(cid:160) However, the submitted document was not accompanied by a certification from the
`issuing intellectual property office.(cid:160) A photocopy of an intellectual property office’s publication or a printout from an intellectual property
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)

`country of origin.(cid:160) TMEP §1016.
`

`foreign registration issued to applicant by, or certified by, the intellectual property office in applicant’s country of origin.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C.
`§1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01.(cid:160)
`If the foreign certificate of registration is not written in English, applicant must also
`provide an English translation.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii); TMEP §1004.01(a)-(b).(cid:160) The translation should be signed by the translator.(cid:160) TMEP
