`
`EXAMINING ATTORNEY’S APPEAL BRIEF
`
`
`The applicant has appealed the trademark examining attorney's final refusal to register the leaf design
`
`mark for goods in class 3 on the grounds that the specimen does not show the identified goods.
`
`
`STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`
`On March 7, 2020, applicant Fusion CBD Products LLC applied under Section 1(a) of the Trademark
`
`

`

`Act to register a design ultimately described as "an image of a leaf in light green and dark green" for
`
`goods ultimately identified as "Non-medicated topical skin care preparations, all of the aforementioned
`
`goods containing or derived from CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not
`
`more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis" in class 3.[1]  With the application, applicant provided a
`
`specimen of use showing the mark used on a point-of-sale webpage for goods labeled as "CBD Pain
`
`Relief Cream for Muscles and Joints". 
`
`On June 5, 2020, the examining attorney[2] issued a non-final Office action, which included a refusal of
`
`the specimen for not providing the website date of access. The applicant responded on October 19,
`
`2020, providing a substitute specimen that is identical to the originally-submitted specimen, save for
`
`the inclusion of the access date in the second submission. 
`
`On November 17, 2020, the examining attorney issued a combined Priority Action and Examiner's
`
`Amendment, in which the Priority Action portion consisted of a specimen refusal on the grounds that
`
`the specimen did not show use of the mark with the identified class 3 goods but only with class 5 pain
`
`relief creams. This refusal was initially withdrawn, but on April 20, 2022, the examining attorney
`
`issued a new non-final Office action stating that the withdrawal was in error and reinstating the refusal
`
`on the grounds that the specimen did not show use of the mark with the identified class 3 goods.
`
`On September 25, 2022, applicant responded by arguing that the product pictured in the specimen
`
`should qualify as a class 3 non-medicated skin care preparation. The examining attorney found this
`
`argument insufficient to overcome the specimen refusal, which was made final on November 7, 2022.
`
`Applicant appealed and requested reconsideration on May 5, 2023, again arguing that the pictured
`
`product is not medicated.[3]The Request for Reconsideration was denied on June 30, 2023, and this
`
`appeal was resumed. The applicant timely filed an appeal brief, which was forwarded to the examining
`
`attorney. 
`
`
`EVIDENTIARY ISSUES
`
`
`Applicant has submitted new evidence with its appeal brief, specifically, a number of TESS records for
`
`third-party registrations not previously made part of the application record. 6 TTABVUE 4-15. The
`
`

`

`record in an application should be complete prior to the filing of an appeal. 37 C.F.R. §2.142(d); TBMP
`
`§§1203.02(e), 1207.01; TMEP §710.01(c). Because applicant’s new evidence was untimely submitted
`
`during an appeal, the trademark examining attorney objects to this evidence and requests that the Board
`
`disregard it. See In re tapio GmbH, 2020 USPQ2d 11387, at *3-4 (TTAB 2020); In re Medline Indus.,
`
`Inc., 2020 USPQ2d 10237, at *2 (TTAB 2020); TBMP §§1203.02(e), 1207.01; TMEP §710.01(c).
`
`In its appeal brief, applicant also requests that the Board take judicial notice of the Nice Agreement,
`
`specifically the class headings for classes 3 and 5. 6 TTABVUE 3. As the Board is permitted to take
`
`judicial notice of "international conventions and treaties," the examining attorney does not object to this
`
`request. TBMP §1208.04. However, the examining attorney hereby requests that the Board also take
`
`judicial notice of the presence of "analgesics" and "anti-inflammatories" in the Nice Alphabetical List
`
`for class 5 (highlighted screenshot from WIPO attached for reference). The examining attorney also
`
`requests that the Board take judicial notice of the attached definitions of "analgesic" and "anti-
`
`inflammatory" from the Merriam-Webster dictionary, and the attached definition of "skin care" from
`
`the Cambridge Dictionary.  See TBMP §1208.04.
`
`
`ISSUE
`
`
`The sole issue on appeal is whether applicant has shown use of the mark for the goods identified in the
`
`application, "Non-medicated topical skin care preparations, all of the aforementioned goods containing
`
`or derived from CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a
`
`dry weight basis".
`
`
`ARGUMENTS
`
`
`APPLICANT HAS NOT SHOWN USE OF THE MARK FOR THE IDENTIFIED GOODS
`
`BECAUSE SKIN CARE IS NOT THE PRIMARY PURPOSE OF THE GOODS IN THE
`
`SPECIMEN
`
`An application based on Trademark Act Section 1(a) must include a specimen showing the applied-for
`
`mark as actually used in commerce for each international class of goods identified in the application. 15
`
`

`

`U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a); see In re Gulf Coast
`
`Nutritionals, Inc., 106 USPQ2d 1243, 1247 (TTAB 2013). In this case, the specimen does not show use
`
`with the identified "Non-medicated topical skin care preparations, all of the aforementioned goods
`
`containing or derived from CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than
`
`0.3% on a dry weight basis" in class 3.
`
`Applicant's responses seem to focus on the "non-medicated" portion of the identification, arguing that
`
`the goods do not contain medications and that adding emu oil to a product does not make that product
`
`medicated. See Sept. 25, 2022 Response to Office Action, TSDR p.1; May 5, 2023 Request for
`
`Reconsideration, p. 1. While this may be true, the identification also specifies that the goods are "skin
`
`care preparations" - that is, that their primary purpose[4] is "to keep [the] skin healthy and attractive."
`
`See attached Cambridge Dictionary entry for "skin care". To show the goods identified in the
`
`application, therefore, the applicant's specimen would need to show a product with more than incidental
`
`skin care benefits. The specimen of record does not.
`
`The product description in the specimen only briefly mentions a skin care purpose ("revitalizes dry
`
`skin") in a sentence that also promotes its pain relief benefits ("eases joint and muscle pain"). Indeed,
`
`even while attempting to argue that the product is "an unmedicated moisturizing cream" that contains
`
`"no medicated or analgesic substance," the applicant immediately states that it "may reduce pain by
`
`reducing swelling." Sept. 25, 2022 Response to Office Action, TSDR p. 1. The applicant's evidence
`
`regarding emu oil further reiterates that the fatty acids in emu oil are believed to "reduce pain and
`
`swelling (inflammation)."  Sept. 25, 2022 Response to Office Action, TSDR p. 2. As shown by the
`
`attached definitions, a substance that reduces pain is an analgesic, and if it does so by reducing
`
`inflammation, it is also an anti-inflammatory. Both "analgesics" and "anti-inflammatories" are listed in
`
`the Nice Classification's alphabetical list of class 5 goods; they are not skin care products. The product
`
`shown in the specimen, therefore, which is primarily an analgesic and/or an anti-inflammatory,
`
`therefore, is not a "non-medicated topical skin care preparation" in class 3.
`
`Furthermore, the specimen, an annotated portion of which is reproduced below for ease of reference,
`
`clearly demonstrates that the product is advertised to consumers as an analgesic for muscles and joints,
`
`

`

`not as a skin care product.
`
`
`
`
`Specifically, (1) the product jar pictured on the webpage is labelled "CBD INTENSE RELIEF RUB
`
`FOR MUSCLES & JOINTS" and (2) the product title on the page is "CBD Pain Relief Cream for
`
`Muscles and Joints".   The product description (3) states that "Fusion's CBD Pain Relief Cream is
`
`uniquely formulated to provide instant relief for strained and aching muscles, loosen tense, stiff areas,
`
`and combat inflammation in muscles and joints", that emu oil "eases joint and muscle pain" (4), and
`
`that the product provides "instant relief for sore muscles and joints" (5). The directions for use (6) state
`
`to apply the product "to sore area(s)." The product is clearly promoted as having a primary purpose of
`
`relieving pain in muscles and joints, not as primarily keeping the skin healthy and attractive. Therefore,
`
`the specimen only shows use of the mark for a class 5 pain relief cream, not for the class 3 "Non-
`
`medicated topical skin care preparations, all of the aforementioned goods containing or derived from
`
`CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight
`
`basis" identified in the application. Applicant has not provided the required specimen showing the
`
`

`

`applied-for mark as actually used in commerce for the international class of goods identified in the
`
`application. 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).
`
`
`CONCLUSION
`
`
`For the reasons stated above, the examining attorney respectfully submits that the applicant has not
`
`shown use of the mark in commerce for the class 3 "Non-medicated topical skin care preparations, all
`
`of the aforementioned goods containing or derived from CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC
`
`concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis" identified in the application. Accordingly,
`
`the examining attorney respectfully requests that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board affirm the
`
`refusal to register under Sections 1 and 45.
`
`Respectfully submitted,

`End Notes
`
`1.
`
`The evolution of the identification throughout the prosecution of this application, which is
`somewhat convoluted, may be relevant to the ultimate issue of whether the specimen shows the
`identified goods, and is therefore summarized briefly here. The applicant originally identified
`goods, "Topical skin care preparations, all the foregoing all of the aforementioned goods
`containing or derived from cannabis with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on
`a dry weight basis," that could fall into class 3 or class 5. After being required to clarify the
`goods, applicant amended the identification to specify "Non-medicated topical skin care
`preparations, all of the aforementioned goods containing or derived from CBD derived from
`hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis" in class 3,
`and this amendment was accepted.
`
`

`

`
`Upon receiving the initial specimen refusal, applicant requested that the identification be further
`amended to "Medicated topical skin care preparations, all of the aforementioned goods
`containing or derived from CBD derived from hemp with a delta-9 THC concentration of not
`more than 0.3% on a dry weight basis" in class 5. This amendment was initially accepted,
`however, on April 20, 2022 the examining attorney issued a new non-final Office action stating
`that the approval of the amendment to the class 5 identification was in error because it exceeded
`the scope of the originally-accepted class 3 identification. Applicant did not argue that the class 5
`identification was within the scope of the originally-accepted class 3 identification, but instead
`agreed that the class 3 identification should be restored.
`The application was initially assigned to examiner Olivia Lee, who issued all Office actions that
`predate April 11, 2022, when the application was reassigned to the undersigned examining
`attorney. Both the undersigned and Ms. Lee are referred to as "the examining attorney"
`throughout.
`Applicant also argued that the specimen should be accepted for this application because it had
`been accepted for the copending application Serial No. 88825451. As noted in the June 30, 2023
`Denial of the Request for Reconsideration, this statement appears to be both inaccurate and
`irrelevant. However, as applicant appears to have abandoned this argument, which is not
`mentioned in its Appeal Brief, the examining attorney does not address it further below. 
`Although a multipurpose product may identified with language appropriate for any class that
`corresponds with one of its purposes, if a product has a primary purpose it should be classified
`(and identified) according to this purpose. TMEP §§1401.05(c) and 1401.02(a) (restating the
`general principles of the Nice Classification).

`
`— Laurie McGinley, The Wall Street journal
`Mostanti-inflammatory drugs target the arachidonic acid cascade, which produces
`two major mediators of inflammatory responses, prostaglandins and leukotrienes.
`Nonsteroidal drugs can damonly one side of the cascade—they block productionof
`prostaglandins but leave the leukotrienes unaffected. Steroidal drugs block both
`routes, but their side effects can make them an undesirable, though sometimes
`irreplaceable, treatment.
