`
`FINAL OFFICE ACTION
`
`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) and/or Electronic System for Trademark Trials and Appeals (ESTTA).   A
`
`link to the appropriate TEAS response form and/or to ESTTA for an appeal appears at the end of this Office action.   
`
`Issue date:  October 21, 2021
`
`This Office Action is in response to applicant’s correspondence dated 10/16/21.
`
`The following requirement(s) have been satisfied and are now withdrawn: 1) Identification.
`TMEP §714.04.
`
`The following refusal and/or requirements are now made FINAL: 1) Section 2(e)(1) Refusal.
`37 C.F.R. §2.64(a).
`
`Section 2(e)(1) Refusal
`
`The Section 2(e)(1) refusal is continued and made final.  
`
`Registration is refused because the applied-for mark merely describes features 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.  In addition to being merely descriptive, the applied-for mark appears to
`be generic in connection with the identified goods and/or services.  “A generic mark, being the ‘ultimate in descriptiveness,’ cannot acquire
`distinctiveness” and thus is not entitled to registration on either the Principal or Supplemental Register under any circumstances.  In re La. Fish
`Fry Prods., Ltd., 797 F.3d 1332, 1336, 116 USPQ2d 1262, 1264 (Fed. Cir. 2015) (quoting H. Marvin Ginn Corp. v. Int’l Ass’n of Fire Chiefs,
`Inc., 782 F.2d 987, 989, 228 USPQ 528, 530 (Fed. Cir. 1986)); see TMEP §§1209.01(c) et seq., 1209.02(a).  Therefore, the trademark examining
`attorney cannot recommend that applicant amend the application to proceed under Trademark Act Section 2(f) or on the Supplemental Register
`as possible response options to this refusal.  See TMEP §1209.01(c).
`
`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’s mark is LACE TINT for “Cosmetics, namely, hair wig lace spray.”
`
`Generally, if the individual components of a mark retain their descriptive meaning in relation to the goods and/or 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., 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 goods and/or 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 goods and/or services and do not create a unique, incongruous, or nondescriptive meaning in
`relation to the goods and/or services.
`
`Based on the attached evidence from Wikipedia, “lace” is a “delicate fabric made of yarn or thread in an open weblike pattern.”   Applicant’s
`identification specifically notes that the goods are a spray for “lace.”   Thus, the term “lace” is descriptive of a feature of the goods. 
`Additionally, the evidence from Wikipedia informs that “lace” wigs are a “special type of hairpiece or wig in which human hair or synthetic hair
`is tied by hand to a sheer lace base which goes over the scalp.”   The Wikipedia article further notes that “Full lace wigs may have a base made
`entirely of lace.”   The SimplyWigs webpage evidence notes the differences with lace front wigs and full lace wigs, and shows that “lace” is a
`sought after material used for wigs.  The newly attached evidence shows a wide range of “lace” wigs for sale at Amazon, LaceWigsBuy, and
`Tinashe.  Furthermore, in its 12/31/20 response, applicant notes that “lace” means “that the customers' strands of hair are attached to a lace base
`or natural hair. The goods give a natural look (or matching color) to the customers' hair in cosmetics or wig industry. In the simplest terms, lace
`tint is a pigmented lotion meant to make the lace wig blend in (or natural looking) with the hair of the customers.”
`
`Based on the attached dictionary evidence, “tint” refers to a “substance used for changing the colour of someone’s hair.”   The term “tint” has
`
`already been disclaimed as descriptive.  
`
`Taken together, the combined wording immediately conveys information about the goods. Specifically, the wording informs that applicant’s hair
`wig lace spray is used for wig “lace,” and the function or purpose of the spray is to “tint” or change the color of the wig “lace.”   The evidence
`from the ThatSister webpage demonstrates that wigs of “lace” are often colored or tinted to create a better appearance.  The webpage specifically
`informs that users “might need to bleach the frontal lace,” as needed.  The webpage also includes a YouTube video demonstrating how the lace
`is tinted by the user using a brush apparatus (See attached at 2:06/11:50 minute mark).   Thus, consumers would perceive the term “lace tint” as
`
`immediately describing information about the goods.  
`
`Websites and webpages, dictionary evidence, as well applicant’s specimen and any explanatory text therein are generally a competent source for
`determining how the public perceives the mark in connection with applicant’s goods and/or services.  See In re N.C. Lottery, 866 F.3d 1363,
`1367-68, 123 USPQ2d 1707, 1709-10 (Fed. Cir. 2017); In re Nett Designs, Inc., 236 F.3d 1339, 1341, 57 USPQ2d 1564, 1566 (Fed. Cir. 2001)
`(citing In re Bed & Breakfast Registry, 791 F.2d 157, 160, 229 USPQ 818, 819 (Fed. Cir. 1986)); TMEP §1209.01(b).  The previously attached
`web page evidence demonstrates the widespread use of “lace tint” in the industry to convey a type of cosmetics “tint” product for use on a
`consumer’s lace wig.  For example, Wig Dealer markets a lace tint product, Hair Queen offers a lace tint mousse, The Hair Diagram website
`sells a lace tint product, and Amazon lists 1st Class providing a lace tint spray.  Additionally, the Stylecaster webpage describes how lace tintsare
`used for coloring or tinting around lace wigs.  The previously attached evidence from applicant’s own webpage informs that the product is a
`
`“tinted spray” used to “make your lace disappear.”   Thus, the wording describes features or information about applicant’s hair wig lace sprays.   
`
`Applicant’s evidence that the mark is a “double entendre” is not persuasive.  A “double entendre” is an expression that has a double
`connotation or significance as applied to the goods and/or services.  TMEP §1213.05(c); see In re Colonial Stores Inc., 394 F.2d 549, 552-53, 157
`USPQ 382, 384-85 (C.C.P.A. 1968) (finding SUGAR & SPICE a double entendre and not descriptive for bakery products because it evokes the
`nursery rhyme “sugar and spice and everything nice”).   A mark that comprises a “double entendre” will not be refused registration as merely
`descriptive if one of its meanings is not merely descriptive in relation to the goods and/or services.  TMEP §1213.05(c).  However, the multiple
`meanings that make an expression a “double entendre” must be well-recognized by the public and readily apparent from the mark itself in the
`context of the applied-for goods and/or services.  See Robinson v. Hot Grabba Leaf, LLC, 2019 USPQ2d 149089, at *8 (TTAB 2019); In re
`Calphalon Corp., 122 USPQ2d 1153, 1163-64 (TTAB 2017) (quoting TMEP §1213.05(c)).  If the alleged second meaning of the mark is only
`apparent to purchasers “after they view the mark in the context of the applicant's trade dress, advertising materials or other matter separate from
`the mark itself,” the mark is not a double entendre.  In re Yarnell Ice Cream, LLC, 2019 USPQ2d 265039, at *7 (TTAB 2019) (quoting In re The
`Place, Inc., 76 USPQ2d 1467, 1470 (TTAB 2005)).  In the present case, applicant has not demonstrated what the meaning or significance is of
`any purported “double entendre.”
`
`A mark is suggestive if some imagination, thought, or perception is needed to understand the nature of the goods and/or services described in the
`mark; whereas a descriptive term immediately and directly conveys some information about the goods and/or services.  See Stoncor Grp., Inc. v.
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`

`

`Specialty Coatings, Inc., 759 F.3d 1327, 1332, 111 USPQ2d 1649, 1652 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (citing DuoProSS Meditech Corp. v. Inviro Med.
`Devices, Ltd., 695 F.3d 1247, 1251-52, 103 USPQ2d 1753, 1755 (Fed. Cir. 2012)); TMEP §1209.01(a). The foregoing evidence demonstrates
`that the proposed mark is not suggestive, but actually describes features of the goods, and that several companies use the “lace tint” wording in
`the marketplace to convey information about related goods.
`
`Two major reasons for not protecting descriptive marks are (1) to prevent the owner of a descriptive mark from inhibiting competition in the
`marketplace and (2) to avoid the possibility of costly infringement suits brought by the trademark or service mark owner.  In re Abcor Dev.
`Corp., 588 F.2d 811, 813, 200 USPQ 215, 217 (C.C.P.A. 1978); TMEP §1209.  Businesses and competitors should be free to use descriptive
`language when describing their own goods and/or services to the public in advertising and marketing materials.  See In re Styleclick.com Inc., 58
`USPQ2d 1523, 1527 (TTAB 2001).
`
`For the reasons set forth above, the Section 2(e)(1) refusal is continued and made final.

`
`Lace wig
`From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
`
`A lace wig or a lace front wig is a special type of hairpiece or wig in which humanhair or synthetic hair is tied by hand to a
`sheer lace base which goes overthe scalp.
`
`Wigs have been used since antiquity as hairstyles and costumes; ancient Egyptians wore wigsto shield their shaved heads
`from the sun. Wigs were kept in place by using beeswax and resin. Wigs were once made from horsehair, wool, buffalo hair
`or even feathers."st" "e424 Other ancient cultures, including the Assyrians,'" Phoenicians, Greeks and Romans, also used
`wigs as an everyday fashion.” There was intermittent use of wigs in many cultures throughouthistory including the
`prophylactic use of them in England in the 1600s to help protect from headlice.
`
`The modern wig was adopted by Louis XIIl to cover his balding head. By the late 1600s, both wigs and handmade lace
`headpieces were common with European and North American upper classes as daily fashion. Wigs were made of human,
`horse, and yak hair and sewn onto a frame with silken thread were meant to be obvious as wigs and not the wearer's actual
`hair! Powdered wigs in rows of curls, Known as periwigs, were adopted as court dress in many cultures with elaborate
`curls and style.
`
`After the American Revolutionary War, styles in North America changed and the wig as a sign of
`
`social class died outof use.!!(*! Wigs began to be used more to augment natural hair for

`
`elaborate hairstyles, for religious reasons, or to cover hair loss in both genders and therefore
`were required to blend with the wearer's natural hair. The selling of human hair by the lower
`classes for use in wigs by the upper classes was capturedin storieslike "The Gift of the Magi"
`andLittle Women.
`
` ay
`
`In the 19th century a new wig-making method beganto replace the weft method most
`commonly used prior. A small hook called a "ventilating needle", similar to the tambour hooks
`used for decorating fabric with chain-stitch embroidery at that period, is used to knot a few
`strandsof hair at a time directly to a suitable foundation material.!""="" ""*"4l By the 1870s, the
`lace machine had madelace affordable through mass production and the use of lace as
`foundation material for wigs entered popular use."“! Using lace allowed for a more natural-
`looking wig because the flesh-colored lace is almost imperceptible.The more commonuse wasa strip of lace just at the
`front, known as a /ace front wig, which gives the impressionof a naturalhairline."7!
`
`Actor in a human hair,
`lacefront wig
`
`Modern usage [edit]
`Full lace wigs may have a base madeentirely of lace. Full lace wigs can be pulled into a high ponytail and up-do's, as
`opposed to lace front wigs. Full lace wigs allow for the most versatility when it comes to styling for all lace wig types. They
`allow for a natural hairline and natural looking parting areas throughoutthe wig. If a lace front wig was pulled back, it is
`usually obvious thatit is a wig.!”! In 2016, 360 Degree Lace Wigs were created allowing wig wearers to wear undetectable
`ponytail styles.
`
`Lace front wigs are more common and the remainderof the wig is made outof a less fragile material whichis less
`susceptible to ripping or tearing than the lace." Thelacefront wig allows the wearer to chooseahairline.” The lace is only
`in the front half of the wig, to allow the wearer to part the hair any way they want. Modern day lace wigs can be worn while
`doing activities like swimming and exercising, which make it a popular choice amongalternatives. It is also an excellent
`alternative for anyone looking to avoid adding hair to the scalp via surgical methods.
`
`Thelace wig is usually attached with the assistance of glues and tapes, which are applied to the front hairline area. Once
`the glue hasdried, the front lace portion of the wig is affixed to the area where the glue has been applied on the hairline,
`creating a tight bond which keeps the lace wig in place on the head. Somelace wigs also have whatis referred to as "baby
`hair" around the temple areas whichis used to cover up anyvisible signs of lace on the forehead, and the baby hair also
`helps to create a realistic hairline. Once applied the lace or lace front wig can stay in place for weeks at a time and

`
`maintained with shampoo andstyling in the meantime.
`
`Lace wig density is measured as a percentage. The higher the percentage, the thicker the hair density on the wig. The
`popular density on the market is 130% and 150%. The higher the percentage, the higher price consumers pay. Like other
`hair extension products, the texture of wigs varies from straight, loose wave, natural wave, to deep curly,etc.

`
`In terms of breathability, full lace wigs allow more air to your head as the
`
`whole base is made of lace. However, if you don't like using a wig cap
`
`then perhaps lace front wigs are the better option for you. Although lace
`
`fronts use a different material to make up the rest of the cap, they are
`
`seen as being comfortable and generally a wig cap isn’t seen as a
`
`necessity for use.

`
`One of the many benefits of lace front wigs is the natural hairline effect
`
`they create at the front of the hair. With lace fronts, you can choose to
`
`part your hair in the middle or on the sides, depending on your favoured
`
`style. However, with full lace wigs, your parting decisions are not limited
`
`and a natural lookis effortlessly achievable, as the illusion of natural
`
`hair is apparent from all angles. This is also true with lace fronts, but
`
`you just need to make sure everything is covered at the back, so your
`
`wig remains undetected.
`
`Style Versatility
`
`Full lace wigs can be styled in any way youlike, from high ponytails to
`
`braids, you can get as creative as youlike without giving the game away
`
`that you’re wearing a wig. It’s important to rememberthatfull lace wigs
`
`are often thinner than lace front wigs and therefore they tend not to
`
`have as much natural volume. Lace fronts have plenty of natural
`
`volume, but can’t be styled in as many waysasfull lace fronts can be
`
`due to having a different material forming part of the cap.
`
`Durability and Maintenance
`
`With the correct wig care, both wig types can last between 6-12 months,
`
`depending on how often you wear them and how you store and care for

`
`guide on the best waysof looking after your wig.
`
`Application
`
`Lace front wigs are only attached at the front edges of the head and, as
`
`far as wig application goes, they’re pretty easy to apply once youfigure
`
`out your preferred method for securing wigs. Full lace wigs are easy to
`
`apply too, howeveras previously mentioned. a wig cap is recommended
`
`for the application so that the wig is secure and doesn'tirritate your
`
`scalp.
`
`So, whichis better,full lace or front lace? It’s entirely your
`
`decision, based on yourstyle, wig-wearing habits and
`
`overall budget. Both types of wigs have many benefits;
`
`you just needto figure out which ones are mostsuited to
`
`you. Remember,feeling comfortable is the key to feeling
`
`confident, so be sureto take that into consideration

`before investing in any wig. To take a lookat our full
