`
`NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
`
`Office action.   
`
`Issue date:  December 26, 2019
`
`The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`the issues below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`SEARCH OF OFFICE’S DATABASE OF 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).  TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
`Section 2(e)(1) Refusal - Merely Descriptive
`Substitute Specimen Required
`
`SECTION 2(e)(1) REFUSAL - MERELY DESCRIPTIVE
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature or characteristic of applicant’s services.  Trademark Act Section
`2(e)(1), 15 U.S.C. §1052(e)(1); see TMEP §§1209.01(b), 1209.03 et seq.
`
`A mark is merely descriptive if it describes an ingredient, quality, characteristic, function, feature, purpose, or use of an applicant’s services.  
`TMEP §1209.01(b); see, e.g., In re TriVita, Inc., 783 F.3d 872, 874, 114 USPQ2d 1574, 1575 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (quoting In re Oppedahl & Larson
`LLP, 373 F.3d 1171, 1173, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1371 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); In re Steelbuilding.com, 415 F.3d 1293, 1297, 75 USPQ2d 1420, 1421
`
`(Fed. Cir. 2005) (citing Estate of P.D. Beckwith, Inc. v. Comm’r of Patents , 252 U.S. 538, 543 (1920)).  
`
`In this case, applicant seeks to register “PROPS AND LOCKS” for an ongoing television program.
`
`The wording “PROP” is used in gambling to mean “a bet regarding the occurrence or non-ocurrence during a game of an event not directly
`affecting the game’s final outcome.” See attachment from wikipedia.org; see also attachments from oddshark.com and thelines.com.
`
`  
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`The wording “LOCK” is used in gambling to mean an “easy winner, or clear no lose situation.” See attachment from sportingcharts.com; see
`also attachment from vegas.com.
`
`The attachment from phillyvoice.com shows this television program will be about sports gambling.
`
`Generally, if the individual components of a mark retain their descriptive meaning in relation to the services, the combination results in a
`composite mark that is itself descriptive and not registrable.  In re Fat Boys Water Sports LLC, 118 USPQ2d 1511, 1516 (TTAB 2016) (citing In
`re Tower Tech, Inc., 64 USPQ2d 1314, 1317-18 (TTAB (2002)); TMEP §1209.03(d); see, e.g., Apollo Med. Extrusion Techs., Inc. v. Med.
`Extrusion Techs., Inc., 123 USPQ2d 1844, 1851 (TTAB 2017) (holding MEDICAL EXTRUSION TECHNOLOGIES merely descriptive of
`medical extrusion goods produced by employing medical extrusion technologies); In re Cannon Safe, Inc., 116 USPQ2d 1348, 1351 (TTAB
`2015) (holding SMART SERIES merely descriptive of metal gun safes); In re King Koil Licensing Co., 79 USPQ2d 1048, 1052 (TTAB 2006)
`
`(holding THE BREATHABLE MATTRESS merely descriptive of beds, mattresses, box springs, and pillows).  
`
`Only where the combination of descriptive terms creates a unitary mark with a unique, incongruous, or otherwise nondescriptive meaning in
`relation to the services is the combined mark registrable.  See In re Colonial Stores, Inc., 394 F.2d 549, 551, 157 USPQ 382, 384 (C.C.P.A.
`1968); In re Positec Grp. Ltd., 108 USPQ2d 1161, 1162-63 (TTAB 2013).
`
`In this case, both the individual components and the composite result are descriptive of applicant’s services and do not create a unique,
`incongruous, or nondescriptive meaning in relation to the services.  Specifically, applicant’s mark merely conveys that the gambling program
`will feature discussion of prop bets and locks.
`
`Therefore, the mark “PROPS AND LOCKS” as applied to the identified services, merely describes a feature or characteristic of the services,
`namely, that the gambling program will feature discussion of prop bets and locks.  Accordingly, the proposed mark is merely descriptive and
`registration is refused on the Principal Register under Section 2(e)(1).
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.  However, if applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirement set forth below.
`
`SUBSTITUTE SPECIMEN REQUIRED
`
`Registration is refused because the specimen does not show use in commerce of the applied-for mark with the identified services in International
`Class 41.  Trademark Act Sections 1 and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051, 1127; 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a),
`1301.04(f)(ii), (g)(i).  Specifically, the specimen fails to show the mark used in a way that would create in the minds of potential consumers a
`sufficient nexus or direct association between the mark and the services being offered.   In re Universal Oil Prods. Co., 476 F.2d 653, 655, 177
`USPQ 456, 457 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1301.04(f)(ii); see also In re JobDiva, Inc., 843 F.3d 936, 942, 121 USPQ2d 1122, 1126 (Fed. Cir.
`
`2016); In re Adver. & Mktg. Dev., Inc., 821 F.2d 614, 620, 2 USPQ2d 2010, 2014 (Fed. Cir. 1987).  
`
`An application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) must include a specimen showing the applied-for mark in use in commerce for each
`international class of services identified in the application or amendment to allege use.  15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv),
`2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).  A service mark is used in commerce “when it is used or displayed in the sale or advertising of services.”   See
`
`15 U.S.C. § 1127; 37 C.F.R. §2.56(b)(2).   
`
`When determining whether a mark is used in connection with the services in the application, a key consideration is the perception of the user.  In
`re JobDiva, Inc., 843 F.3d at 942, 121 USPQ2d at 1126 (citing Lens.com, Inc. v. 1-800 Contacts, Inc., 686 F.3d 1376, 1381-82, 103 USPQ2d
`1672, 1676 (Fed Cir. 2012)).  A specimen must show the mark used in a way that would create in the minds of potential consumers a sufficient
`nexus or direct association between the mark and the services being offered.  In re Universal Oil Prods. Co., 476 F.2d at 655, 177 USPQ2d at
`457; TMEP §1301.04(f)(ii); see also In re JobDiva, Inc., 843 F.3d at 942, 121 USPQ2d at 1126; In re Adver. & Mktg. Dev., Inc., 821 F.2d at 620,
`
`2 USPQ2d at 2014.  
`
`To show a direct association, specimens consisting of advertising or promotional materials must (1) explicitly reference the services and (2) show
`the mark used to identify the services and their source.  In re WAY Media, Inc., 118 USPQ2d at 1698 (quoting In re Osmotica Holdings, Corp.,
`95 USPQ2d 1666, 1668 (TTAB 2010)); TMEP §1301.04(f)(ii).  Although the exact nature of the services does not need to be specified in the
`specimen, there must be something which creates in the mind of the purchaser an association between the mark and the services.  In re Adair, 45
`USPQ2d 1211, 1215 (TTAB 1997) (quoting In re Johnson Controls Inc., 33 USPQ2d 1318, 1320 (TTAB 1994)).
`
`In the present case, the specimen does not show a direct association between the mark and services in that the services are not apparent, nor are
`the services referenced.
`
`Applicant may respond to this refusal by satisfying one of the following for each applicable international class:
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`(1)       
`
`Submit a different specimen (a verified “substitute” specimen) that (a) was in actual use in commerce at least as early as the
`filing date of the application or prior to the filing of an amendment to allege use and (b) shows the mark in actual use in commerce
`for the services identified in the application or amendment to allege use.  A “verified substitute specimen” is a specimen that is
`accompanied by the following statement made in a signed affidavit or supported by a declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20:  “The
`substitute (or new, or originally submitted, if appropriate) specimen(s) was/were in use in commerce at least as early as the filing
`date of the application or prior to the filing of the amendment to allege use.”   The substitute specimen cannot be accepted without
`this statement.
`
`(2)       
`
`Amend the filing basis to intent to use under Section 1(b), for which no specimen is required.  This option will later necessitate
`additional fee(s) and filing requirements such as providing a specimen.
`
`For an overview of the response options above and instructions on how to satisfy them using the Trademark Electronic Application System
`(TEAS) response form, see the Specimen webpage.
`
`RESPONSE GUIDELINES
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal by submitting evidence and arguments in support
`of registration.

`
`A proposition bet in sports betting are more commonly known as a “prop bet." This kind of betling is very popuiar overseas. It is now one
`of the fastest-growing segments of the sports betting industry in the United States. The growth of prop betting in Nevada sportsbooks IS
`evolving and constantiy changing as gaming control boards open up to the new kinds oi opportunities.

`
`Some prop bets may sometimes appear to be similar to futures bets. The difference between the two bets is that a prop bet is a wager on
`an individual player or specific event. However, the majority of prop bets at a sportsbook are on individual players and not the entire team
`during a game. Both opponunmes may De available depending on me game.
`For example, Super Bowl 53 touchdown props:
`
`In this example, Sony Michel was the ONLY player to score in the 13—3 Super Bowl win for the Patriots. Therefore he hit the +600 FIRST
`TO SCORE prop; the +600 LAST TO SCORE prop; and the —134 T0 SCORE prop. All other player props on this list failed to cash sinoe
`nobody else scored in the game.

`
`PROP BETI'ING ORIGINS
`Prop bets became popular in the United States with the Super Bowl. The specific explosion of prop betting started at the Westgatle in Las
`Vegas (previously known as Las Vegas Hilton). The team at the Las Vegas SuperBook was the first Nevada sportsbook operator to otter a
`large number at prop beLs for an individual game
`Today, all sponsbook operators in Nevada offer hundreds of Super Bowl prop bets, and online sportsbook operators in New Jersey (like
`DraftKings Sponsoook pictured above), Pennsylvania and more legalized states have followed.
`Prop betting started modestly with the Super Bowl but continues to grow. Some sportsbook operators otter prop bets every week during
`the pro football season. Fewer sportsbook operators offer prop bets every day for other sports. The evolution of prop betting in United
`States sporlsbooks is taking the wagers off the field.
`
`MODERN PROP BETS
`Prop bets in Nevada may be available for non-game events such as award winners (i.e. Mike Trout to win AL MVP), major league dratts
`(i.e. NFL draft), and even simple yes or no bets on teams to do something (i.e. Will the New York Jets make the playoffs).
`Sportsbook operator William Hill even allows customers to email or tweet suggestions for an individual prop bet. As long as the bet
`proposition works within the Nevada Gaming Control Board guidelines William Hill will add them to their mobile spons wagering app
`menu.
`
`Every-thing rmm' who will be preéiuerit tome number otyards a Wide reEeiVer "1:555: have. That's not m'e'cas'e in tt'te‘United States.-
`Even though the growth at prop bets seems limitless, gaming regulators have limits that keep prop bets in sportsbooks limited to, well,
`sports. Additionally, all prop bets must be reconcilable through information and data from the sport being wagered on. Even awards in
`sports must be reooncilable by official league information.
`Having said that, sportsbook operators have a good amount of freedom within gaming control board parameters. It a player is on a hot
`streak, a sportsbook operator may choose to make short-term prop bets available. Since the information is tabulated on the field, these are
`quickly made available.

`I [1858 I'IOI'I-
`IZXOHC ptDp bets are only uttered by some sponsbooks around "IE world.
`traditional prop bets are not necessarily based on activities that take place during a game.
`The most popular of these exotic prop bets such as the length of the national anthem or the
`coin toss results, happen during the Super Bowl.
`These props can be as outlandish as the sportsbook operator wants them to be. They
`usualty take place during the most publicly popular events such as a Royal Wedding in the
`United Kingdom or who will play a specific role in a movie series.
`While they may be fun, these kind exotic proposition bets are not legal in America. The
`Nevada Gaming Control Board has not seen these wagers lit for approval yet. This could
`change in Nevada and in other states that may legalize sports betting in America.

`PERSONAL PROP BETS
`Proposition betting doesn't only take place in a sportsbook. Bets with a friend for random activities also fall into the category at a prop bet.
`For example, a bet that a triend can't finish 40 pushups during a game of poker might be considered a personal prop bet between friends.
