`
`The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned. 
`Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS).   A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this
`
`NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
`
`Office action.   
`   The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to
`
`Issue date:  May 06, 2020
`
`the issue(s) below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
`
`SUMMARY OF ISSUES:
`
`Section 2(e)(1) refusal
`Section 2(d) prior application advisory
`Significance of the terms
`Identification of goods in class 27
`Unsigned application
`
`Section 2d advisory
`The trademark examining attorney searched the USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting marks that would bar
`registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d).  15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.  However, a mark in a prior-filed pending application may
`present a bar to registration of applicant’s mark.
`
`The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial No.  88749477 precedes applicant’s filing date.  See attached referenced application.  If the
`mark in the referenced application registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a
`likelihood of confusion between the two marks.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.  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.
`
`In 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 mark in the referenced application.  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.
`
`Note that if the mark(s) in the potentially conflicting prior-filed application(s) has been assigned to applicant, applicant may provide evidence of
`ownership of the mark(s) to avoid a possible refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(d) based on a likelihood of confusion.  See 15 U.S.C.
`
`§1052(d); TMEP §812.01.  
`
`Applicant may provide evidence of ownership of the mark(s) by satisfying one of the following:
`
`(1)      
`
`Record the assignment with the USPTO’s Assignment Recordation Branch (ownership transfer documents such as assignments
`can be filed online at http://etas.uspto.gov) and promptly notify the trademark examining attorney that the assignment has been
`duly recorded;
`
`(2)      
`
`Submit copies of documents evidencing the chain of title; or
`
` 
` 
` 
`  
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`(3)      
`
`Submit the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20:  “Applicant is the
`owner of Application Serial No(s). 88749477.”   To provide this statement using the Trademark Electronic Application System
`(TEAS), use the “ Response to Office Action” form; answer “yes” to wizard questions #3 and #9; then, continuing on to the next
`portion of the form, in the “Additional Statement(s)” section, check the box for “Miscellaneous Statement” and write in the free
`form text field for the “Miscellaneous Statement” that  “Applicant is the owner of Application Serial No(s). 88749477,”
`inserting the relevant application serial number(s); and follow the instructions within the form for signing.  The form must be
`signed twice; a signature is required both in the “Declaration Signature” section and in the “Response Signature” section.
`
`TMEP §812.01; see 15 U.S.C. §1060; 37 C.F.R. §§2.193(e)(1), 3.25, 3.73(a)-(b); TMEP §502.02(a).
`
`Recording a document with the Assignment Recordation Branch does not constitute a response to an Office action.  TMEP §503.01(d).
`
`HOWEVER, if the ownership of the applications is the same, then registration will be refused because this application and U.S. Application
`Serial No. 88749477 appear to be duplicate applications.  37 C.F.R. §2.48; TMEP §703.    The USPTO will not issue duplicate registrations.  37
`C.F.R. §2.48; TMEP §703.  Applicant would need to abandon one of them.
`
`Merely Descriptive
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes a feature, characteristic, purpose and use of applicant’s goods and/or
`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 goods and/or
`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)).  
`
`Applicant has applied for the mark “RUGPAD.COM” for “Adhesive shelf and drawer liners; Yoga mats; personal exercise mats; gymnasium
`exercise mats; meditation mats; pilates mats; non-slip rug pads and rug grippers; bath mats; non-slip mats for baths.”
`
`The term “rug pad”    is defined as: “a pad placed under a carpet.”
`
`.COM is “Part of the Internet address of many companies and organizations. It indicates that the site is commercial, as opposed to educational or
`governmental.”
`
`See the attached dictionary definition(s).
`
`  A
`
`  Thus “rug pad” is the generic term for
` portion of applicant’s goods are the rug pads themselves (see “non-slip rug pads and rug grippers”).
`these goods.  Note that the misspelling with no space does not alter the descriptive nature of the mark.  Consumers will understand that the words
`are merely put together and have the same meaning.
`
`As to the remainder of the goods, rug pads are used as various types of other mats and liners and vice versa (ie other mats and liners are used as
`rug pads), including shelf and drawer liners, exercise mats etc.  See for example the following excerpts from representative websites discussing
`
`such usages eg:   
`
`“Our rug pads come in the most pre-cut sizes to meet your needs. For unique sizes and shapes, you can simply trim our pad with a household
`scissor. Just put the pad down, place the rug on top and trim off any excess material. And use the extra for drawer or shelf liners…”
`
`“Shelf liners made from nonskid rubber are an adequate substitute for commercially available rug holders…Appropriate shelf liners may appear
`as a roll or sheet of rubber that has small holes or a waffle-like appearance. Shelf liners that are suitable for use as rug holders often appear the
`same as miniature rug holders.”
`
`“Repurpose an old yoga mat as a non-slip rug pad”
`
`“With improved acoustics, you won’t have to feel bad about jumping up and down during the cardio portion of your pilates workout.”
`(discussing uses of rug pads)
`
`Thus, as to the remaining goods, the mark describes a feature, use and purpose of the goods, which may be used as rug pads and vice versa.
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`  
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`As to .COM in applicant’s mark, t he non-source-identifying generic top-level domain (gTLD) “.com” merely indicates an Internet address for
`use by commercial, for-profit organizations.  See, e.g., In re 1800Mattress.com IP LLC, 586 F.3d 1359, 1364, 92 USPQ2d 1682, 1685 (Fed. Cir.
`2009); In re Hotels.com, L.P., 573 F.3d 1300, 1301, 1304, 91 USPQ2d 1532, 1533, 1535 (Fed. Cir. 2009); In re Oppedahl & Larsen LLP, 373
`F.3d 1171, 1175-77, 71 USPQ2d 1370, 1373-74 (Fed. Cir. 2004); see also TMEP §§1209.03(m), 1215.01. Thus, this addition does not alter the
`descriptive and/or generic nature of the mark.
`
`The applied-for mark shows the wording in stylized lettering with a curved line extending from the R.  Stylized descriptive or generic wording is
`registrable only if the stylization creates a commercial impression separate and apart from the impression made by the wording itself.  See In re
`Cordua Rests., Inc., 823 F.3d 594, 606, 118 USPQ2d 1632, 1639-40 (Fed. Cir. 2016); In re Northland Aluminum Prods., Inc., 777 F.2d 1556,
`1561, 227 USPQ 961, 964 (Fed. Cir. 1985); TMEP §1209.03(w).  Common and ordinary lettering with minimal stylization, as in this case, is
`generally not sufficiently striking, unique, or distinctive as to make an impression on purchasers separate from the wording.  See In re Sadoru
`Grp., Ltd., 105 USPQ2d 1484, 1487 (TTAB 2012).  This R line underlining is not sufficiently distinctive and does not obviate the descriptive
`and/or generic nature of the mark.
`
`Although applicant’s mark has been refused registration, applicant may respond to the refusal(s) by submitting evidence and arguments in
`support of registration.
`
`If applicant responds to the refusal(s), applicant must also respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.  
`
`Significance of the terms
`To permit proper examination of the application, applicant must submit additional information about the meaning of the mark.  See 37 C.F.R.
`
`§2.61(b); TMEP §814.  
`
`Applicant must respond to the following questions and/or requests for documentation to satisfy this request for information:  (1) are the goods rug
`pads and/or derived from rug pads? (2) can the goods be used as rug pads? (3) are the goods rug pads which can be used as the listed types of
`mats and/or liners etc? (4) describe the relationship between rug pads and each of the listed goods (5)   describe the nature of the goods providing
`examples of similar goods and their uses.
`
`See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §814.   
`
`Failure to comply with a request for information is grounds for refusing registration.  In re Harley, 119 USPQ2d 1755, 1757-58 (TTAB 2016);
`TMEP §814.  Merely stating that information about the goods or services is available on applicant’s website is an insufficient response and will
`not make the relevant information of record.  See In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).
`
`Identification of Goods in class 27
`
`The identification of goods in class 27 is indefinite and must be clarified because the nature of the rug grippers must be more clearly specified. 
`See 37 C.F.R. §2.32(a)(6); TMEP §1402.01.  Applicant must amend the identification to specify the common commercial or generic name of the
`goods.  See TMEP §1402.01.  If the goods have no common commercial or generic name, applicant must describe the product, its main purpose,
`and its intended uses.  See id.
`
`Applicant may adopt the following wording, if accurate:  
`
`Yoga mats; personal exercise mats; gymnasium exercise mats; meditation mats; pilates mats; non-slip rug pads and rug underlays in the nature
`of rug grippers; bath mats; non-slip mats for baths, in class 27
`
`Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the goods and/or services, but not to broaden or expand the goods and/or services
`beyond those in the original application or as acceptably amended.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); TMEP §1402.06.  Generally, any deleted goods
`and/or services may not later be reinserted.  See TMEP §1402.07(e).
`
`For assistance with identifying and classifying goods and services in trademark applications, please see the USPTO’s online searchable U.S.
`Acceptable Identification of Goods and Services Manual.  See TMEP §1402.04.

`

`The application was unsigned, resulting in the application not being properly verified.  See TMEP §804.  Applicant must properly sign and

`
`(a)(3)(i), (a)(4)(ii); TMEP §804.02.  
`
`The following statements must be verified:  That applicant has a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce and had a bona fide intention to
`use the mark in commerce as of the application filing date; that applicant believes applicant is entitled to use the mark in commerce on or in
`connection with the goods or services specified in the application; that to the best of the signatory’s knowledge and belief, no other persons,
`except, if applicable, concurrent users, have the right to use the mark in commerce, either in the identical form or in such near resemblance as to
`be likely, when used on or in connection with the goods/services of such other persons, to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive; and that the
`
`facts set forth in the application are true.  37 C.F.R. §§2.33(b)(2), (c), 2.34(a)(2), (a)(3)(i), (a)(4)(ii).

`
`A rug holder keeps a rug from sliding around This prevents injuries‘ tails and other
`maladies that may came from placing a rug upon a slippery surface Many
`commercial and homemade solutions can be used as rug holders, and one of those
`solutions is shell liners Not all shell liners are appropriate, however, and the cost at
`using shelfliner material may be greatly above that of purchasing a commercial rug
`holder,
`
`ShelfLiners
`Shelf liners made from nonskid rubber are an adequate substitute for commercially
`available rug holders Decorative shelf liner paper is not recommended as it Will not
`grip both the floor and the rug, Apprepnate shelf liners may appear as a roll or sheet
`of rubber that has small holes or a waffieilike appearance Shelf liners that are
`suitable for use as rug holders often appear the same as miniature rug holders When
`using shelfliners as rug holders. the shelf lining may slide of its own volition but may
`be secured to the rug via a number of methods. including sewmg, gluing and taping
