`
`he 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)H
`

`

`

`(cid:160)R
`
`egistration is refused because the applied-for mark is primarily geographically descriptive of the origin of applicant’s services.(cid:160) Trademark Act
`Section 2(e)(2), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(2); see TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(a).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
` mark is primarily geographically descriptive when the following is demonstrated:
`
`(1) The primary significance of the mark is a generally known geographic place or location;
`
`(2) The goods and/or services for which applicant seeks registration originate in the geographic place identified in the mark; and
`
`(3) Purchasers would be likely to make a goods-place or services-place association; that is, purchasers would be likely to believe that the
`goods and/or services originate in the geographic place identified in the mark.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`MEP §1210.01(a); see In re Societe Generale des Eaux Minerales de Vittel S.A., 824 F.2d 957, 959, 3 USPQ2d 1450, 1452 (Fed. Cir. 1987); In
`re Hollywood Lawyers Online, 110 USPQ2d 1852, 1853 (TTAB 2014).
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he proposed mark is MIAMICENTRAL for “leasing of retail space, real estate management and retail management services in a transportation
`terminal; leasing of office space and of residential units” in Class 36 and “railroad transportation services and operation of a transportation
`terminal” in Class 39.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he primary significance of the mark is “MIAMI,” a generally known geographic location, as evidenced by the attached screenshots from The
`
`Columbia Gazetteer of the World Online.(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The services for which applicant seeks registration will originate in Miami, as evidenced by the attached information, available at
`http://www.micdot.com/miami_central_station.html.(cid:160) The attached website describes Miami Central Station as follows: “Ground transportation
`hub for Miami-Dade County and the South Florida region” and “The Miami Central Station (MCS) is the crown jewel of the Miami Intermodal
`Center (MIC) Program and will serve as Miami-Dade County's first all-inclusive ground transportation hub.” (italics added) (cid:160) See also the
`attached from http://www.micdot.com/mic_program.html, which describes the transportation hub in Miami.
`
`(cid:160)P
`
`urchasers would be likely to believe that the services originate in the geographic place identified in the mark because when there is no genuine
`issue that the geographical significance of a term is its primary significance, and the geographical place is neither obscure nor remote, a public
`association of the goods and/or services with the place is presumed if an applicant’s goods and/or services originate in the place named in the
`mark.(cid:160) TMEP §1210.04; see, e.g., In re Cal. Pizza Kitchen Inc., 10 USPQ2d 1704, 1706 (TTAB 1988) (holding CALIFORNIA PIZZA
`KITCHEN primarily geographically descriptive of restaurant services rendered in California); In re Handler Fenton Ws., Inc., 214 USPQ 848,
`849-50 (TTAB 1982) (holding DENVER WESTERNS primarily geographically descriptive of western-style shirts originating in Denver).(cid:160) In
`this case, there is no genuine issue that the geographical significance of “MIAMI” is its primary significance and it is neither obscure nor
`remote.(cid:160) Moreover, the applicant’s services will originate in Miami.
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`he term “CENTRAL” is defined as “a center or hub for a specified activity.” (cid:160) See the attached definition from Merriam-Webster's Online
`Dictionary, 11th Edition.(cid:160) It describes a feature of applicant’s real estate management and leasing services as well as its transportation services,
`all of which will take place or originate in this transportation center or hub.(cid:160) The addition of generic or highly descriptive wording to a
`geographic word or term does not diminish that geographic word or term’s primary geographic significance.(cid:160) TMEP §1210.02(c)(ii); see, e.g., In
`re Hollywood Lawyers Online, 110 USPQ2d 1852, 1853-54 (TTAB 2014) (holding HOLLYWOOD LAWYERS ONLINE primarily
`geographically descriptive of attorney referrals, online business information, and an online business directory); In re Cheezwhse.com, Inc., 85
`USPQ2d 1917, 1920 (TTAB 2008) (holding NORMANDIE CAMEMBERT primarily geographically descriptive of cheese).
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`ccordingly, registration is refused under Section 2(e)(2) of the Trademark Act because the wording “MIAMICENTRAL” is primarily
`geographically descriptive of the origin of applicant’s services.
`
`Supplemental Register Advisory
`
`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough an amendment to the Supplemental Register would normally be an appropriate response to this refusal, such a response is not
`appropriate in the present case.(cid:160) The instant application was filed under Trademark Act Section 1(b) and is not eligible for registration on the
`Supplemental Register until an acceptable amendment to allege use meeting the requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76 has been timely filed.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R.
`§2.47(d); TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)I
`
`f applicant files an acceptable allegation of use and also amends to the Supplemental Register, the effective filing date of the application will be
`the date on which applicant met the minimum filing requirements of 37 C.F.R. §2.76(c) for the amendment to allege use.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.75(b);
`TMEP §§816.02, 1102.03.(cid:160) In addition, the undersigned trademark examining attorney will conduct a new search of the USPTO records for
`conflicting marks based on the later application filing date.(cid:160) TMEP §§206.01, 1102.03.
`
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`(cid:160)
`

`

`(cid:160)A
`
`lthough registration on the Supplemental Register does not afford all the benefits of registration on the Principal Register, it does provide the
`following advantages:
`
`The registrant may use the registration symbol ®;
`The registration is protected against registration of a confusingly similar mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d);
`The registrant may bring suit for infringement in federal court; and
`The registration may serve as the basis for a filing in a foreign country under the Paris Convention and other international agreements.
`
`(cid:160)S
`
`ee 15 U.S.C. §§1052(d), 1091, 1094; TMEP §815.
`
`Amendment to Allege Use Advisory
`
`(cid:160)T
`
`o amend the application filing basis from an intent-to-use application under Trademark Act Section 1(b) to a use in commerce basis under
`Section 1(a), applicant must file, prior to approval of the mark for publication, an amendment to allege use that satisfies the requirements of 37
`C.F.R. §2.76.(cid:160) See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c); 37 C.F.R. §2.35(b)(8); TMEP §§806.01(b), 1103.
`
`(cid:160)T

`
`(2)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The date of first use of the mark anywhere on or in connection with the goods and/or services.
`
`(3)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)(cid:160)
`
`The date of first use of the mark in commerce as a trademark or service mark.
`
`The goods and/or services specified in the application.
`
`A specimen showing how applicant uses the mark in commerce for each class of goods and/or services for which use is being
`asserted.(cid:160) If a single specimen supports multiple classes, applicant should indicate which classes the specimen supports rather than
`providing multiple copies of the same specimen.
`
`A filing fee of $100 per class for each international class of goods and/or services for which use is being asserted (current fee
`information should be confirmed at http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/tm_fee_info.jsp).

`
`n amendment to allege use may be filed online at http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/index.jsp.(cid:160) An amendment to allege use is not
`considered a response to an Office action.(cid:160) 37 C.F.R. §2.76(h); TMEP §1104.(cid:160) Applicant must file a separate response to any outstanding Office
`action.(cid:160) TMEP §1104; see 37 C.F.R. §2.76(h).
`

`
`lthough applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.

`
`f applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.
