Green Bay Packers, Inc., Opposition No. ______Opposer, U.S. App. Serial No. 87/554,702 v. Mark: TITLETOWN, TX McClatchy U.S.A., Inc.,

Applicant.

NOTICE OF OPPOSITION

Green Bay Packers, Inc. (“Opposer”) believes that it will be damaged by registration of

the TITLETOWN, TX mark as applied for in Application Serial No. 87/554,702 (“Application”)

by McClatchy U.S.A., Inc. (“Applicant”) and hereby opposes the same, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §

1063(a).

The grounds for this Opposition are as follows:

1. Opposer is a corporation organized under the laws of Wisconsin, with its principal

place of business located at 1265 Lombardi Avenue, Green Bay, WI 54304.

2. Opposer fields a professional football team, the Green Bay Packers (“Packers”),

which plays in the (“NFL”).

3. The Packers are one of the oldest teams in the NFL and have won 13 league

championships—more than any other team in the NFL.

4. The Packers appear on national television during the pre-season, regular season, and frequently in the post-season.

QB\137173.00070\50169334.2 5. The Packers have an extremely loyal and geographically diverse fan base and

command immense amounts of goodwill as a result.

Opposer’s Common Law Marks

6. Opposer is the owner of all rights, title, and interest in the mark TITLETOWN and variations thereof. These marks include TITLETOWN, TITLETOWN U.S.A., and

TITLETOWN TOWEL (collectively, “TITLETOWN marks”).

7. Since as early as the , Opposer has made widespread and continuous use of

the TITLETOWN marks in connection with the Packers.

8. Opposer has used and is continuing to use the TITLETOWN marks in connection

with: entertainment services related to football; video recordings and broadcast media related to

football; digital content available via the Internet; news and commentary services related to

football; education, training, entertainment, and cultural activities; and merchandise associated

with the Packers’ team, such as football related clothing and memorabilia.

9. Commencing long prior to the filing date of the Application and Applicant’s date of alleged first use of the TITLETOWN, TX mark and continuing through the present, Opposer has used the TITLETOWN marks in United States interstate commerce for entertainment services related to football, for video recordings and broadcast media related to football, on merchandise associated with the Packers’ team, such as clothing and memorabilia, and for real estate development.

10. Since first adopting and using the TITLETOWN marks, Opposer has made a substantial investment in advertising and promoting the TITLETOWN mark in association with the Packers’ entertainment initiatives. For example, the Packers recently completed Titletown— a $65 million 45-acre real-estate development project, adjacent to the Packers’ football stadium

2 in Green Bay, Wisconsin, that features a full-sized football field that displays the Titletown logo mid-field and the TITLETOWN mark in the zone. Titletown also includes a public plaza, park, hotel, brewery and restaurant, and a health clinic. In addition, the Packers have announced expansion plans for Titletown to include new residences and retail space and TitletownTech—a technology and innovation center in partnership with Microsoft.

11. By virtue of Opposer’s long, continuous, and exclusive use of the TITLETOWN mark and extensive advertising and promotion of goods and services under the TITLETOWN mark, purchasers, potential purchasers, and the general public have come to widely recognize the

TITLETOWN mark as being associated with a single source, and further recognize the single source as Opposer.

12. Opposer’s TITLETOWN mark is distinctive with regard to entertainment services related to football, video recordings and broadcast media related to football, news and commentary services related to football, merchandise associated with the Packers’ football team, and real estate development.

services in connection with its TITLETOWN marks.

Opposers’ Distinctive Family of Marks

21. Opposer’s TITLETOWN marks are part of a family of marks because they all share the same common “TITLETOWN” prefix, which is the distinguishing element of the marks.

22. Opposer’s customers, fans, and the relevant purchasing public in general have come to know and recognize the TITLETOWN prefix and associate the same with Opposer and/or the goods and services offered, sold, and rendered by Opposer.

23. Opposer has established goodwill in connection with the sales of its goods and services in connection with its family of TITLETOWN marks.

24. Accordingly, Opposer’s family of TITLETOWN marks is distinctive and has acquired secondary meaning.

Opposers’ Marks’ Famousness

25. Opposer has used, promoted, and advertised its TITLETOWN marks in connection with the Packers’ football team and on an ever-expanding range of goods and services since the 1960s.

26. Opposer’s long-standing use of its TITLETOWN marks has made the

TITLETOWN marks famous and exclusively associated with the Opposer in the mind of the

consuming public.

27. Opposer’s association with TITLETOWN is documented in third-party media

accounts. For example, a newspaper ran a “TITLETOWN U.S.A. ‘61” “special edition”

highlighting the Packers’ championship season. In December of 1996, ESPN ran a nationally

televised program titled “Inside Titletown USA” which documented the Packers’ ascension and

8

reign as Titletown USA. Moreover, a random sampling of third-party news articles demonstrates

the continuing associations of the Packers and TITLETOWN in the media.

28. A recent survey concluded the term TITLETOWN is known to virtually the entire

population of consumers surveyed and a substantial majority of those who are aware of the term

TITLETOWN, associate it specifically with the Green Bay Packers.

29. The USPTO has denied at least three applications to register TITLETOWN

related marks because “‘Titletown’ is a term that is used to identify the Green Bay Packers.

Therefore, Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter

which may falsely suggest a connection with the GREEN BAY PACKERS. Although the

GREEN BAY PACKERS are not connected with the goods and/or services provided by

applicant under the applied-for mark, the GREEN BAY PACKERS are so famous that

consumers would presume a connection.” (Exhibit G, Application Serial No. 77/491,519,

09/20/2008 Office Action; Exhibit H, Application Serial No. 77/505,293, 09/20/2008 Office

Action; Exhibit I, Application Serial No. 77/515,965, 09/21/2008 Office Action).

30. Accordingly, prior to Applicant’s filing date, Opposer’s TITLETOWN mark

and/or common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks have achieved widespread

recognition with the general public to be connected exclusively with the goods and services

offered by Opposer, making the TITLETOWN marks and family of TITLETOWN marks

famous as understood by Trademark Act Section 43(c), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).

Applicant’s Previous Application

31. Upon information and belief, on August 19, 2016, Applicant McClatchy U.S.A.,

Inc. filed an application for registration of TITLETOWN, TX. Said application was given Serial

No. 87/145,061 by the USPTO.

9

32. Captured information from the TESS and TSDR electronic databases of the

USPTO for U.S. Application Serial No. 87/145,061 for TITLETOWN, TX are collectively attached as Exhibit J.

33. As filed, the goods and services recited in Application Serial No. 87/145,061 were:

Class 38: Providing non-downloadable documentary films featuring sports teams and human interest stories through video streaming via the Internet

34. As filed, the date of first use alleged in Application Serial No. 87/145,061 was

August 17, 2016.

35. On December 14, 2016, the USPTO mailed an Office Action informing Applicant that Opposer's prior-filed pending application—U.S. Application Serial No. 86/332,543 for

TITLETOWN—preceded Applicant's filing date and that Applicant's mark might be refused for registration because of a likelihood of confusion between the two marks:

The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial No. 86332543 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.

36. On July 12, 2017, the USPTO issued a Notice of Abandonment for Application

Serial No. 87/145,061 because Applicant did not submit a response to the December 14, 2016

Office Action within the 6-month response period.

10

Applicant’s Mark and Application

37. Upon information and belief, on August 3, 2017, McClatchy U.S.A., Inc. filed

another application for registration of the alleged TITLETOWN, TX mark. Said application was

given Serial No. 87/554,702 by the USPTO and is the subject of this Opposition.

38. Upon information and belief, Applicant McClatchy U.S.A., Inc. is a corporation

organized under the laws of Delaware with its principal place of business located at 2100 Q

Street, Sacramento, 95816.

39. Upon information and belief, the TITLETOWN, TX mark of Application Serial

No. 87/554,702 was published for Opposition in the Official Gazette on December 19, 2017.

40. As published for Opposition, the goods and services recited in Application Serial

No. 87/554,702 are:

Class 41: Entertainment services, namely, providing temporary use of non- downloadable documentary films featuring sports teams and human interest stories made available through video streaming via the Internet

41. Upon information and belief, Applicant uses the TITLETOWN, TX mark of

Application Serial No. 87/554,702 on football related documentaries available publicly for streaming via the Internet.

42. As published for Opposition, the date of first use alleged in Application Serial No.

87/554,702 is August 17, 2016.

FIRST GROUND OF OPPOSITION PRIORITY AND LIKLIHOOD OF CONFUSION

43. Opposer repeats, re-alleges, and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-42 above.

44. Applicant’s TITLETOWN, TX mark so resembles Opposer’s common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks that, when applied to the proposed goods and/or services of Applicant, use and registration of Applicant’s TITLETOWN, TX mark would be

11 likely to cause confusion, mistake, and/or deception as to the source or origin of Applicant’s goods and services in violation of Trademark Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).

45. The goods and services identified in the Application are so similar and/or so closely related to the goods and services offered by Opposer under its common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks that the public is likely to be confused, to be deceived, and to erroneously believe that Applicant’s goods and/or services are produced and/or rendered by, emanate from, or are in some way associated with Opposer, or that Applicant is in some way connected with, sponsored by, endorsed by, or affiliated with Opposer.

46. Likelihood of confusion is enhanced by the fact that Opposer’s common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks are strong, well-known, and entitled to broad scope of protection.

47. Likelihood of confusion is enhanced by the fact that the goods and services in the

Application are likely to be offered through the same channels of trade as to the same classes of prospective purchasers or consumers as the goods and services offered by Opposer under its common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks.

48. Likelihood of confusion is enhanced by the fact that the services identified in the

Application are likely to be advertised and promoted in the same or similar types of media, trade shows, and channels of trade as the goods and services offered by Opposer under its common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks.

49. Applicant is not affiliated with, connected with, or endorsed or sponsored by

Opposer. Opposer has not approved or authorized Applicant to register or use the

TITLETOWN, TX mark in United States commerce with regard to the goods and services identified in Applicant’s Application Serial No. 87/554,702.

12

50. Applicant’s use and registration of its TITLETOWN, TX mark will injure and

damage Opposer and the goodwill and reputation of Opposer’s common law and registered family of TITLETOWN marks.

51. Applicant’s use and registration of its TITLETOWN, TX mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception in the minds of the public and will cause damage and injury to both Opposer and the public. Therefore, the alleged TITLETOWN, TX mark, as set forth in

Applicant’s Application Serial No. 87/554,702, should be denied registration, inter alia, under

15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).

SECOND GROUND OF OPPOSITION DILUTION

52. Opposer repeats, re-alleges, and incorporates by reference paragraphs 1-51 above.

53. Opposer has used its common law and registered TITLETOWN marks for such a period of time and has invested such extensive resources promoting and advertising its goods and services with its TITLETOWN marks, that Opposer’s TITLETOWN marks and/or Opposer’s family of TITLETOWN marks have achieved widespread renown with the general public and are thus famous as understood by Trademark Act Section 43(c), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).

54. Applicant’s TITLETOWN, TX mark is a nearly identical imitation of, and so resembles Opposer’s famous TITLETOWN marks and/or Opposer’s family of TITLETOWN marks as to be likely to dilute the distinctive quality of Opposer’s famous TITLETOWN marks and/or family of TITLETOWN marks, in violation of Trademark Act Section 43(c), 15 U.S.C. §

1125(c).

55. Opposer, upon information and belief, avers that it will be damaged by the registration by Applicant of the alleged TITLETOWN, TX mark, as set forth in Applicant’s

13

Application Serial No. 87/554,702, in that the mark is likely to dilute the distinctive quality of

Opposer’s famous TITLETOWN marks and/or family of TITLETOWN marks.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, Opposer files this Notice of Opposition and requests that this Opposition be sustained and that the Board deny Applicant’s registration for the TITLETOWN, TX mark as set forth in Application Serial No. 87/554,702.

The required filing fee for this Opposition is being submitted herewith through ESTTA.

The Commissioner is hereby authorized to charge any additional fees which may be required, or credit any overpayment, to Deposit Account No. 17-0055.

Dated this 17th day of January, 2018. Respectfully submitted,

OFFICE ACTION

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 9/20/2008

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

Trademark Act Section 2(d) – Likelihood of Confusion

Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 1,802,761. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the enclosed registration.

Regarding the issue of likelihood of confusion, all circumstances surrounding the sale of the goods and/or services are considered. These circumstances include the marketing channels, the identity of the prospective purchasers, and the degree of similarity between the marks and between the goods and/or services. See Indus. Nucleonics Corp. v. Hinde, 475 F.2d 1197, 177 USPQ 386 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01. In comparing the marks, similarity in any one of the elements of sound, appearance or meaning may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion. In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b). In comparing the goods and/or services, it is necessary to show that they are related in some manner. See On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000); TMEP §1207.01(a)(vi).

The goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion. See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i). Rather, they need only be related in some manner, or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the same purchasers under circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source. In re Total Quality Group, Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984).

Consumers are likely to be confused by the use of similar marks on or in connection with goods and with services featuring or related to those goods. TMEP §1207.01(a)(ii); see In re Hyper Shoppes (), Inc., 837 F.2d 463, 6 USPQ2d 1025 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (holding BIGG’S for retail grocery and general merchandise store services likely to be confused with BIGGS for furniture); In re United Serv. Distribs., Inc., 229 USPQ 237 (TTAB 1986) (holding design for distributorship services in the field of health and beauty aids likely to be confused with design for skin cream); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (holding 21 CLUB for various items of men’s, boys’, girls’ and women’s clothing likely to be confused with THE “21” CLUB (stylized) for restaurant services and towels); In re U.S. Shoe Corp., 229 USPQ 707 (TTAB 1985) (holding CAREER IMAGE (stylized) for retail women’s clothing store services and clothing likely to be confused with CREST CAREER IMAGES (stylized) for uniforms); Steelcase Inc. v. Steelcare Inc., 219 USPQ 433 (TTAB 1983) (holding STEELCARE INC. for refinishing of furniture, office furniture, and machinery likely to be confused with STEELCASE for office furniture and accessories); Mack Trucks, Inc. v. Huskie Freightways, Inc., 177 USPQ 32 (TTAB 1972) (holding similar marks for trucking services and on motor trucks and buses likely to cause confusion).

Applicant seeks registration of the mark TITLETOWN COMBAT CHAMPIONSHIP for services identified as “organizing sporting events, namely, mixed martial arts.” The mark TITLETOWN U.S.A. in Reg. No. 1,802,761 for goods identified as “men’s, women’s and children’s wearing apparel; namely, t-shirts, sweatshirts, knit shirts, and caps” has been cited as a bar to registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). The marks create similar commercial impressions. Marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where there are similar terms or phrases or similar parts of terms or phrases appearing in both applicant’s and registrant’s mark. See Crocker Nat’l Bank v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, 228 USPQ 689 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490, 1 USPQ2d 1813 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (21 CLUB and “21” CLUB (stylized)); In re Corning Glass Works, 229 USPQ 65 (TTAB 1985) (CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS); In re Collegian Sportswear Inc., 224 USPQ 174 (TTAB 1984) (COLLEGIAN OF CALIFORNIA and COLLEGIENNE); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558 (TTAB 1983) (MILTRON and MILLTRONICS); In re BASF A.G., 189 USPQ 424 (TTAB 1975) (LUTEXAL and LUTEX); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii). In addition, the goods and services would be considered to be related. As evidenced by the attached print out from PACKERTIME.COM, sports teams and professional athletes market a wide variety of licensed products, such as t- shirts or jerseys under both sports teams’ names and athletes’ names. Therefore, consumers could reasonably believe that there was some sort of association of relationship between the Applicant’s sports competitions and the goods in the cited registration. Inasmuch as the marks are similar and the goods and services are related, a likelihood of confusion exits.

Applicant should note the following additional ground for refusal.

Trademark Act Section 2(a) – False Suggestion of a Connection

As demonstrated by the attached print outs from AMAZON.COM; from G Green Bay Packers, available at SPORTSLINE.COM. from City of Green Bay, available at GREEN-BAY.WI.US; from GOOGLE BOOK SEARCH, available at BOOKS.GOOGLE.COM, from , available at LAMBEAUFIELD.COM, from NBC Sports, available at NBCSPORTS.CM.SEENON.COM; from (Wednesday, September 17, 2008), available at NYTIMES.COM, from NFL GameDay, available at PACKERS.COM, from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, available at PROFOOTBALLHOF.COM, from Sports Nicknames 20,000 Professionals Worldwide (McFarland & Co., Inc. 2001); from Wisconsin Insurance News, available at OCI.WI.GOV, and from US Navy Today (June 26, 2008), available at NEWS.NAVY.MIL, “Titletown” is a term that is used to identify the Green Bay Packers. Therefore, Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter which may falsely suggest a connection with the GREEN BAY PACKERS. Although the GREEN BAY PACKERS are not connected with the goods and/or services provided by applicant under the applied-for mark, the GREEN BAY PACKERS are so famous that consumers would presume a connection. Trademark Act Section 2(a), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a); see TMEP §§1203.03, 1203.03(e). See generally Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316 (TTAB 1990); Univ. of Ala. v. BAMA-Werke Curt Baumann, 231 USPQ 408 (TTAB 1986); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428 (TTAB 1985).

The following is required for a showing of false connection under Trademark Act Section 2(a):

(1) The mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the name or identity of another person or institution;

(2) The mark would be recognized as such, in that it points uniquely and unmistakably to that person or institution;

(3) The person or institution identified in the mark is not connected with the goods sold or services performed by applicant under the mark; and

(4) The fame or reputation of the named person or institution is of such a nature that a connection with such person or institution would be presumed when applicant’s mark is used on its goods and/or services.

In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316, 1317 (TTAB 1990); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi- Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985); TMEP §1203.03(e).

A combination of terms that, independent of each other would not falsely suggest a connection with another person or institution, may do so when combined. See, e.g., In re U.S. Bicentennial Soc’y , 197 USPQ 905, 907 (TTAB 1978) (finding that while “U.S.” alone and “BICENTENNIAL” alone may not imply involvement by the Federal Government in the sponsorship of applicant’s goods, the combination of these two terms is “too slick to pass as a legitimate trademark” and falsely suggests a connection).

The term at issue need not be the actual, legal name of the party falsely associated with applicant’s mark to be unregistrable. TMEP §1203.03(a); see, e.g., Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985) (holding the wording MARGARITAVILLE to be the persona of singer Jimmy Buffett). The term must, however, be so uniquely and unmistakably associated with the named party as to constitute that party’s name or identity. TMEP §1203.03; see, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ at 429.

Where a term falsely suggests a connection with a person or institution in violation of Trademark Act Section 2(a), the phonetic equivalent of that term also violates Section 2(a). See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (“there can be no question . . . that ‘WESTPOINT’ written together as one word is the equivalent of ‘WEST POINT’ written as two words”).

Dictionary definitions alone may be competent to demonstrate that the mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the named person or institution. See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (holding that the wording WESTPOINT for various firearms falsely suggested a connection with the United States Military Academy, when the Board considered only dictionary definitions made of record).

The fact that applicant did not intend to adopt the name of, or trade upon the goodwill of, the named person or institution does not obviate a false connection refusal. Trademark Act Section 2(a) does not require such intent. TMEP §1203.03(e); see, e.g., S & L Acquisition Co. v. Helene Arpels, Inc., 9 USPQ2d 1221 (TTAB 1987); Consol. Natural Gas v. CNG Fuel Sys., Ltd., 228 USPQ 753 (TTAB 1985). However, evidence of such intent is highly probative that the public will make the intended false connection. Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); TMEP §1203.03(e).

If applicant’s goods and/or services are of a type that the named person or institution sells or uses, and the named party is sufficiently famous, then it may be inferred that purchasers of the goods and/or services would be misled into making a false connection of sponsorship, approval, support or the like with the named party. In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570 (TTAB 1976).

The fact that purchasers would realize, at some point after purchase, that no connection exists between the listed goods and/or services and the person or institution falsely connected, is not relevant. The focus is on “the initial reaction or impact of the mark when viewed in conjunction with the applicable goods or services.” In re Bicentennial Soc’y , 197 USPQ 905, 906 (TTAB 1978) (quoting In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570, 572 (TTAB 1976)).

In the alternative, the following third refusal to register is now issued:

Trademark Act Section 2(e)(2) – Geographically Deceptive and Primarily Geographically Deceptively Misdescriptive

Applicant seeks registration on the Principal Register of the mark TITLETOWN COMBAT for services identified as “Organizing sporting events, namely, Mixed Martial Arts.” As demonstrated by the attached print out of a GOOGLE.COM search of TITLETOWN “GREEN BAY’ and from the C ity of Green Bay, available at GREEN-BAY.WI.US, “titletown” is a slang term for Green Bay, Wisconsin. Commonly used nicknames for geographic locations are generally treated as equivalent to the proper geographic name of the place identified. TMEP §1210.02(a); see, e.g., In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542, 1543 (TTAB 1998) (holding CAROLINA APPAREL primarily geographically descriptive of retail clothing store services where evidence showed that “Carolina” is used to indicate either the state of or South Carolina); In re Charles S. Loeb Pipes, Inc., 190 USPQ 238, 245 (TTAB 1976) (holding OLD DOMINION is “the accepted nickname for the State of Virginia”). Here, the record indicates that the Applicant is from Sheboygan, Wisconsin and the specimens indicate that the sports event is in Kimberly, Wisconsin. Therefore, the following refusal is now issued:

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter in relation to the identified goods and/or services. Trademark Act Sections 2(a) and 2(e)(3), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); see In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 67 USPQ2d 1539 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 66 USPQ2d 1853 (Fed. Cir. 2003), In re Budge Mfg. Co., 857 F.2d 773, 8 USPQ2d 1259 (Fed. Cir. 1988); TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(b)-(c).

A mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive if the following is shown:

(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 do not originate in the geographic place identified in the mark;

(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; and

(4) The misrepresentation regarding the geographic origin of the goods and/or services is material to the purchaser’s decision to buy the goods or use the services in question.

In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 1341, 66 USPQ2d 1853, 1859 (Fed. Cir. 2003); TMEP §1210.01(b)-(c).

Geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter need not be the entire mark, or even the dominant portion of the mark. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); TMEP §1210.06(b). A refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(a) or 2(e)(3) is appropriate if some portion of the applied-for mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive with respect to the goods and/or services in question. See e.g., Am. Speech-Language-Hearing Ass’n v. Nat’l Hearing Aid Soc’y , 224 USPQ 798, 808 (TTAB 1984); see TMEP §1210.06(b).

Evidence of services-place association must show more than that the geographic location in the mark is known for the performance of the services. Some additional reason is needed for a consumer to associate the services with the geographic location invoked by the mark. In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373-74, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541-42 (Fed. Cir. 2003).

In addition, the misleading services-place association must be a material factor in the consumer’s decision regarding the services. To show materiality, there must be some heightened association between the services and the geographic denotation; in other words, a showing of a very strong services-place association. In re Les Halles De Paris, 334 F.3d at 1373-74, 67 USPQ2d at 1541-42; In re Consol. Specialty Rests., Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1921, 1928 (TTAB 2004); TMEP §1210.05(b)(ii).

For example, materiality may be shown for restaurant services if the evidence demonstrates that the geographic location is famous for providing the specialized culinary training exhibited by the chef, and this fact is advertised as a reason to choose this restaurant. Materiality may also be shown if the evidence demonstrates that the food was imported from the location identified in the mark and customers would patronize the restaurant because of this fact. In re Les Halles De Paris, 334 F.3d at 1374-75, 67 USPQ2d at 1541-42; TMEP §1210.05(b)(ii).

Applicant must provide a written statement explaining whether the services or any aspect of the services is, or will be, rendered in, or has any other connection with, the geographic place named in the mark. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §1210.03.

Applicant must respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.

Identification of Services

The identification of services must be clarified because it is unacceptable as indefinite. See TMEP §1402.01. Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate: Organizing sporting events, namely, mixed martial arts competitions.

Identifications of services can be amended only to clarify or limit the services; adding to or broadening the scope of the services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include services that are not within the scope of the services set forth in the present identification.

Disclaimer

As evidenced by the attached print out from the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, available at ASKOXFORD.COM, “combat” is defined as “fighting” and “championship” is defined as a “sporting contest for the position of champion.” Since Applicant’s mixed marital arts competitions involve fighting and contests to determine a champion, Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “Combat Championship” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes a quality, characteristic or feature of the services. See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).

The computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer. TMEP §1213.08(a)(i). The following is the standard format used by the Office:

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “Combat Championship” apart from the mark as shown.

TMEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).

Request for Information

An applicant can be required to provide more information if it is necessary for proper examination of the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§814, 1402.01(e); see In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).

Therefore, applicant must submit samples of advertisements or promotional materials for the identified services. In addition, applicant must describe in detail the nature, purpose and channels of trade of the services.

If applicant has questions about its application or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned trademark examining attorney.

How can a city w ith only 100,000 people in northern W isconsin suppo1t the most legendary football team in the nation? Clearly, Green Bay is simply TitleTown USA.

Green Bay doesn't have the flair of a Boston, New York, Dallas or L.A. team, but they have the "IT" factor. You and I both know it's there. We may not know or agree on what the ''IT" factor is, but we both agree that "IT" is in Green Bay.

I know the Packers haven't won a title for a few years, but this shouldn't matter in this r.ompPtition . Thii:: r.ity h.=ii:: w on iti:: f.::iir i::h;::irp in thP n.::ii::t.

You need to realize that Green Bay is at a disadvantage compared to the other Title Town favorites. Green Bay has football and football. Other cities have football, men's basketball, women's basketball, , soccer, along with large DI sports teams (Green Bay does have a DI basketball team, but that's it).

Oh by the way, won the MVP title three years in a row .

Submitted by powersuns Green Bay will always be TitleTown USA, just like Detroit will always be HockeyTown USA (ignoring my despisal of the Red Wings).

Let's start a contest with these cities to see which one really is "My Kind of Town."

More cars are being built in podunk towns throughout Kentucky and Tennessee than in Detroit. Let's start voting for the "REAL" Motor City.

Since Los Angeles has surpassed Chicago in population, should we strip Chicago of the title "Second City?"

After we steal every city's moniker we shouldn't stop there. Let's nominate our favorite country for "Next Superpower."

Submitted by misspackerfan Through 17 weeks of heated competition, all NFL teams seek one goal and only one goal and that is the Lombardi Trophy. http://sports. espn. go. com/espn/titletown/news/story?id=3424435 09/16/2008 0312 45 PM

The Lombardi Trophy is the coveted chalice that ALL NFL players and coaches strive for and anything else is looking toward the next season.

His legacy lives here and only here in a place that we all call I itle I own u:;A ((.;reen t:1ay, Wis.).

So, look at it this way, "If it ain't broken, don't fix it."

Submitted by paulb485 I THINK it is kinda funny how everyone THINKS their town should be Title Town USA because the 100,000+ residents (including myself) of Green Bay, Wis., KNOW we live in TitleTown USA.

If anyone doubts me, do a search key word "City of Green say seal." Let me know what it says underneath the city of Green Bay.

So no matter whom ESPN proclaims TitleTown USA, it doesn't ·count until it is on your city seal and off ours.

Submitted by mcvean1680 The nickname belongs t o Green Bay.

What an amazing story: Small meatpacking company town turns a team into a legendary NFL franchise that transcends time and all of the crap t hat is happening in sports today.

Do n o t tcirnioh the glory o f thio omcill t o w n . It n,c,y be one o f the lciot g ood things left cibout sports in America.

Submitted by azdbacksfan1 Where did the namesake of TitleTown come from? Not Norman, Okla. Not San Francisco. Not New York. Not Chicago. Not Chapel Hill, N.C., or any other little "I dream of being a TitleTown" town.

It came from the (.;reen t:lay f'ackers. How can any other town/ city be called I itle I own u:;A without thinking of Green Bay?

All the rest are wannabes.

saxydogg7 (3 months ago) ''TitleTown USA" should be given to some small town that no one's ever really heard of, a I place who's highschool baseball team has been dominating for decades or something like that.

koperni k 1971 (3 months ago) TitleTown should not be one team wonder . Ev,ery dog gets its day, so by having one team winning a title is not s uch a big deal. Want names, Papa Bear, Ditka, Sweetnes, MJ, Sayers , Butkus, Pipen, Jackson, Grange, Banlks, Sosa, Thomas, Hull, Mikita just to to name few. And fans, where else will you ,s-ell out games for a team that haven't won in 100 years. Without Papa Bear there is no NFL, without Ml and the Bulls in the 90's NBA would not be as big around the world as it is. Want history, how many original Pro teams are there in Chicago. TitleTown USA is Chicag o, hands down.

Five of their eight home games were play ed in Green Ba y s Lambeau Field and the remaining three a.t Milw aukee County Stadium in Milw aukee. Today the Packers play exclusively in Lambeau Field.

OFFICE ACTION

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 9/20/2008

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

Trademark Act Section 2(d) – Likelihood of Confusion

Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 1,802,761. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the enclosed registration.

Regarding the issue of likelihood of confusion, all circumstances surrounding the sale of the goods and/or services are considered. These circumstances include the marketing channels, the identity of the prospective purchasers, and the degree of similarity between the marks and between the goods and/or services. See Indus. Nucleonics Corp. v. Hinde, 475 F.2d 1197, 177 USPQ 386 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01. In comparing the marks, similarity in any one of the elements of sound, appearance or meaning may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion. In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b). In comparing the goods and/or services, it is necessary to show that they are related in some manner. See On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000); TMEP §1207.01(a)(vi).

The goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion. See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i). Rather, they need only be related in some manner, or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the same purchasers under circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source. In re Total Quality Group, Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984).

Consumers are likely to be confused by the use of similar marks on or in connection with goods and with services featuring or related to those goods. TMEP §1207.01(a)(ii); see In re Hyper Shoppes (Ohio), Inc., 837 F.2d 463, 6 USPQ2d 1025 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (holding BIGG’S for retail grocery and general merchandise store services likely to be confused with BIGGS for furniture); In re United Serv. Distribs., Inc., 229 USPQ 237 (TTAB 1986) (holding design for distributorship services in the field of health and beauty aids likely to be confused with design for skin cream); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (holding 21 CLUB for various items of men’s, boys’, girls’ and women’s clothing likely to be confused with THE “21” CLUB (stylized) for restaurant services and towels); In re U.S. Shoe Corp., 229 USPQ 707 (TTAB 1985) (holding CAREER IMAGE (stylized) for retail women’s clothing store services and clothing likely to be confused with CREST CAREER IMAGES (stylized) for uniforms); Steelcase Inc. v. Steelcare Inc., 219 USPQ 433 (TTAB 1983) (holding STEELCARE INC. for refinishing of furniture, office furniture, and machinery likely to be confused with STEELCASE for office furniture and accessories); Mack Trucks, Inc. v. Huskie Freightways, Inc., 177 USPQ 32 (TTAB 1972) (holding similar marks for trucking services and on motor trucks and buses likely to cause confusion).

Applicant seeks registration of the mark TITLETOWN COMBAT for services identified as “organizing sporting events, namely, mixed martial arts.” The mark TITLETOWN U.S.A. in Reg. No. 1,802,761 for goods identified as “men’s, women’s and children’s wearing apparel; namely, t-shirts, sweatshirts, knit shirts, and caps” has been cited as a bar to registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). The marks create similar commercial impressions. Marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where there are similar terms or phrases or similar parts of terms or phrases appearing in both applicant’s and registrant’s mark. See Crocker Nat’l Bank v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, 228 USPQ 689 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490, 1 USPQ2d 1813 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (21 CLUB and “21” CLUB (stylized)); In re Corning Glass Works, 229 USPQ 65 (TTAB 1985) (CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS); In re Collegian Sportswear Inc., 224 USPQ 174 (TTAB 1984) (COLLEGIAN OF CALIFORNIA and COLLEGIENNE); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558 (TTAB 1983) (MILTRON and MILLTRONICS); In re BASF A.G., 189 USPQ 424 (TTAB 1975) (LUTEXAL and LUTEX); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii). In addition, the goods and services would be considered to be related. As evidenced by the attached print out from PACKERTIME.COM, sports teams and professional athletes market a wide variety of licensed products, such as t-shirts or jerseys under both sports teams’ names and athletes’ names. Therefore, consumers could reasonably believe that there was some sort of association of relationship between the Applicant’s sports competitions and the goods in the cited registration. Inasmuch as the marks are similar and the goods and services are related, a likelihood of confusion exits.

Applicant should note the following additional ground for refusal.

Trademark Act Section 2(a) – False Suggestion of a Connection

As demonstrated by the attached print outs from AMAZON.COM; from G Green Bay Packers, available at SPORTSLINE.COM. from City of Green Bay, available at GREEN-BAY.WI.US; from GOOGLE BOOK SEARCH, available at BOOKS.GOOGLE.COM, from Lambeau Field, available at LAMBEAUFIELD.COM, from NBC Sports, available at NBCSPORTS.CM.SEENON.COM; from The New York Times (Wednesday, September 17, 2008), available at NYTIMES.COM, from NFL GameDay, available at PACKERS.COM, from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, available at PROFOOTBALLHOF.COM, from Sports Nicknames 20,000 Professionals Worldwide (McFarland & Co., Inc. 2001); from Wisconsin Insurance News, available at OCI.WI.GOV, and from US Navy Today (June 26, 2008), available at NEWS.NAVY.MIL, “Titletown” is a term that is used to identify the Green Bay Packers. Therefore, Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter which may falsely suggest a connection with the GREEN BAY PACKERS. Although the GREEN BAY PACKERS are not connected with the goods and/or services provided by applicant under the applied-for mark, the GREEN BAY PACKERS are so famous that consumers would presume a connection. Trademark Act Section 2(a), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a); see TMEP §§1203.03, 1203.03(e). See generally Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316 (TTAB 1990); Univ. of Ala. v. BAMA-Werke Curt Baumann, 231 USPQ 408 (TTAB 1986); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428 (TTAB 1985).

The following is required for a showing of false connection under Trademark Act Section 2(a):

(1) The mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the name or identity of another person or institution;

(2) The mark would be recognized as such, in that it points uniquely and unmistakably to that person or institution;

(3) The person or institution identified in the mark is not connected with the goods sold or services performed by applicant under the mark; and

(4) The fame or reputation of the named person or institution is of such a nature that a connection with such person or institution would be presumed when applicant’s mark is used on its goods and/or services.

In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316, 1317 (TTAB 1990); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi- Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985); TMEP §1203.03(e).

A combination of terms that, independent of each other would not falsely suggest a connection with another person or institution, may do so when combined. See, e.g., In re U.S. Bicentennial Soc’y , 197 USPQ 905, 907 (TTAB 1978) (finding that while “U.S.” alone and “BICENTENNIAL” alone may not imply involvement by the Federal Government in the sponsorship of applicant’s goods, the combination of these two terms is “too slick to pass as a legitimate trademark” and falsely suggests a connection).

The term at issue need not be the actual, legal name of the party falsely associated with applicant’s mark to be unregistrable. TMEP §1203.03(a); see, e.g., Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985) (holding the wording MARGARITAVILLE to be the persona of singer Jimmy Buffett). The term must, however, be so uniquely and unmistakably associated with the named party as to constitute that party’s name or identity. TMEP §1203.03; see, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ at 429.

Where a term falsely suggests a connection with a person or institution in violation of Trademark Act Section 2(a), the phonetic equivalent of that term also violates Section 2(a). See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (“there can be no question . . . that ‘WESTPOINT’ written together as one word is the equivalent of ‘WEST POINT’ written as two words”).

Dictionary definitions alone may be competent to demonstrate that the mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the named person or institution. See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (holding that the wording WESTPOINT for various firearms falsely suggested a connection with the United States Military Academy, when the Board considered only dictionary definitions made of record).

The fact that applicant did not intend to adopt the name of, or trade upon the goodwill of, the named person or institution does not obviate a false connection refusal. Trademark Act Section 2(a) does not require such intent. TMEP §1203.03(e); see, e.g., S & L Acquisition Co. v. Helene Arpels, Inc., 9 USPQ2d 1221 (TTAB 1987); Consol. Natural Gas v. CNG Fuel Sys., Ltd., 228 USPQ 753 (TTAB 1985). However, evidence of such intent is highly probative that the public will make the intended false connection. Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); TMEP §1203.03(e).

If applicant’s goods and/or services are of a type that the named person or institution sells or uses, and the named party is sufficiently famous, then it may be inferred that purchasers of the goods and/or services would be misled into making a false connection of sponsorship, approval, support or the like with the named party. In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570 (TTAB 1976).

The fact that purchasers would realize, at some point after purchase, that no connection exists between the listed goods and/or services and the person or institution falsely connected, is not relevant. The focus is on “the initial reaction or impact of the mark when viewed in conjunction with the applicable goods or services.” In re Bicentennial Soc’y , 197 USPQ 905, 906 (TTAB 1978) (quoting In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570, 572 (TTAB 1976)).

In the alternative, the following third refusal to register is now issued:

Trademark Act Section 2(e)(2) – Geographically Deceptive and Primarily Geographically Deceptively Misdescriptivescriptive

Applicant seeks registration on the Principal Register of the mark TITLETOWN COMBAT for services identified as “Organizing sporting events, namely, Mixed Martial Arts.” As demonstrated by the attached print out of a GOOGLE.COM search of TITLETOWN “GREEN BAY’ and from the C ity of Green Bay, available at GREEN-BAY.WI.US, “titletown” is a slang term for Green Bay, Wisconsin. Commonly used nicknames for geographic locations are generally treated as equivalent to the proper geographic name of the place identified. TMEP §1210.02(a); see, e.g., In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542, 1543 (TTAB 1998) (holding CAROLINA APPAREL primarily geographically descriptive of retail clothing store services where evidence showed that “Carolina” is used to indicate either the state of North Carolina or South Carolina); In re Charles S. Loeb Pipes, Inc., 190 USPQ 238, 245 (TTAB 1976) (holding OLD DOMINION is “the accepted nickname for the State of Virginia”). Here, the record indicates that the Applicant is from Sheboygan, Wisconsin and the specimens indicate that the sports event is in Kimberly, Wisconsin. Therefore, the following refusal is now issued:

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter in relation to the identified goods and/or services. Trademark Act Sections 2(a) and 2(e)(3), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); see In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 67 USPQ2d 1539 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 66 USPQ2d 1853 (Fed. Cir. 2003), In re Budge Mfg. Co., 857 F.2d 773, 8 USPQ2d 1259 (Fed. Cir. 1988); TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(b)-(c).

A mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive if the following is shown:

(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 do not originate in the geographic place identified in the mark;

(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; and

(4) The misrepresentation regarding the geographic origin of the goods and/or services is material to the purchaser’s decision to buy the goods or use the services in question.

In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 1341, 66 USPQ2d 1853, 1859 (Fed. Cir. 2003); TMEP §1210.01(b)-(c).

Geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter need not be the entire mark, or even the dominant portion of the mark. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); TMEP §1210.06(b). A refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(a) or 2(e)(3) is appropriate if some portion of the applied-for mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive with respect to the goods and/or services in question. See e.g., Am. Speech-Language-Hearing Ass’n v. Nat’l Hearing Aid Soc’y , 224 USPQ 798, 808 (TTAB 1984); see TMEP §1210.06(b).

Evidence of services-place association must show more than that the geographic location in the mark is known for the performance of the services. Some additional reason is needed for a consumer to associate the services with the geographic location invoked by the mark. In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373-74, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541-42 (Fed. Cir. 2003).

In addition, the misleading services-place association must be a material factor in the consumer’s decision regarding the services. To show materiality, there must be some heightened association between the services and the geographic denotation; in other words, a showing of a very strong services-place association. In re Les Halles De Paris, 334 F.3d at 1373-74, 67 USPQ2d at 1541-42; In re Consol. Specialty Rests., Inc., 71 USPQ2d 1921, 1928 (TTAB 2004); TMEP §1210.05(b)(ii).

For example, materiality may be shown for restaurant services if the evidence demonstrates that the geographic location is famous for providing the specialized culinary training exhibited by the chef, and this fact is advertised as a reason to choose this restaurant. Materiality may also be shown if the evidence demonstrates that the food was imported from the location identified in the mark and customers would patronize the restaurant because of this fact. In re Les Halles De Paris, 334 F.3d at 1374-75, 67 USPQ2d at 1541-42; TMEP §1210.05(b)(ii).

Applicant must provide a written statement explaining whether the services or any aspect of the services is, or will be, rendered in, or has any other connection with, the geographic place named in the mark. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §1210.03.

Applicant must respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.

Identification of Services

The identification of services must be clarified because it is unacceptable as indefinite. See TMEP §1402.01. Applicant may adopt the following identification, if accurate: Organizing sporting events, namely, mixed martial arts competitions.

Identifications of services can be amended only to clarify or limit the services; adding to or broadening the scope of the services is not permitted. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq., 1402.07. Therefore, applicant may not amend the identification to include services that are not within the scope of the services set forth in the present identification.

Disclaimer

As evidenced by the attached print out from the Compact Oxford English Dictionary, available at ASKOXFORD.COM, “combat” is defined as “fighting.” Since Applicant’s mixed marital arts competitions involve fighting, Applicant must disclaim the descriptive wording “Combat” apart from the mark as shown because it merely describes a quality, characteristic or feature of the services. See 15 U.S.C. §1056(a); TMEP §§1213, 1213.03(a).

The computerized printing format for the Office’s Trademark Official Gazette requires a standardized format for a disclaimer. TMEP §1213.08(a)(i). The following is the standard format used by the Office:

No claim is made to the exclusive right to use “Combat” apart from the mark as shown.

TMEP §1213.08(a)(i); see In re Owatonna Tool Co., 231 USPQ 493 (Comm’r Pats. 1983).

Request for Information

An applicant can be required to provide more information if it is necessary for proper examination of the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§814, 1402.01(e); see In re Planalytics, Inc., 70 USPQ2d 1453, 1457-58 (TTAB 2004).

Therefore, applicant must submit samples of advertisements or promotional materials for the identified services. In addition, applicant must describe in detail the nature, purpose and channels of trade of the services.

If applicant has questions about its application or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned trademark examining attorney.

Submifled by p,aulb485 I THINK it is kinda funny how ev eryone THlNKS their tow n slhou.ld be Titl.eTo w n USA because the 100,000+ residents (including my self) of Green Bay, Wis ., KNOW w e li,ve in Titl,eTo w n USA.

If anyone doubts me, d·o a search key w ord' ··city of Green Bay sea i: :· let me know what it says underneath the city of Green Ba y.

So no matter w hom ESPN proclaims Titl.eTo w n USA, it doesn't count until' it i,s on your city seal arid' off ours.

Submitted by mcv,e.a n1680 The nickname belong·s to Gre·e.n Bay.

What an amazing story: Small meatpacking· company tow n tums. a team into a leg·endary NFL franchise, that trans,ce nds time and al l of the crap that is happening, in sports today.

OFFICE ACTION

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT, THE OFFICE MUST RECEIVE A PROPER RESPONSE TO THIS OFFICE ACTION WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE.

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 9/21/2008

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62, 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

Trademark Act Section 2(d) – Likelihood of Confusion

Registration of the applied-for mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 1,802,761. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the enclosed registration.

Information regarding pending Application Serial Nos. 77491519 and 77505293 is enclosed. The filing dates of the referenced applications precede applicant’s filing date. There may be a likelihood of confusion under Trademark Act Section 2(d) between applicant’s mark and the referenced marks. If one or more of the referenced applications registers, registration may be refused in this case under Section 2(d). 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq. Therefore, upon entry of a response to this Office action, action on this case may be suspended pending final disposition of the earlier-filed applications.

If applicant believes that there is no potential conflict between this application and the earlier-filed applications, then applicant may present arguments relevant to the issue in a response to this Office action. The election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits applicant’s right to address this issue at a later point.

Regarding the issue of likelihood of confusion, all circumstances surrounding the sale of the goods and/or services are considered. These circumstances include the marketing channels, the identity of the prospective purchasers, and the degree of similarity between the marks and between the goods and/or services. See Indus. Nucleonics Corp. v. Hinde, 475 F.2d 1197, 177 USPQ 386 (C.C.P.A. 1973); TMEP §1207.01. In comparing the marks, similarity in any one of the elements of sound, appearance or meaning may be sufficient to find a likelihood of confusion. In re White Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988); In re Lamson Oil Co., 6 USPQ2d 1041, 1043 (TTAB 1987); see TMEP §1207.01(b). In comparing the goods and/or services, it is necessary to show that they are related in some manner. See On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475 (Fed. Cir. 2000); TMEP §1207.01(a)(vi).

The goods and/or services of the parties need not be identical or directly competitive to find a likelihood of confusion. See Safety-Kleen Corp. v. Dresser Indus., Inc., 518 F.2d 1399, 1404, 186 USPQ 476, 480 (C.C.P.A. 1975); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i). Rather, they need only be related in some manner, or the conditions surrounding their marketing are such that they would be encountered by the same purchasers under circumstances that would give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods and/or services come from a common source. In re Total Quality Group, Inc., 51 USPQ2d 1474, 1476 (TTAB 1999); TMEP §1207.01(a)(i); see, e.g., On-line Careline Inc. v. Am. Online Inc., 229 F.3d 1080, 1086-87, 56 USPQ2d 1471, 1475-76 (Fed. Cir. 2000); In re Martin’s Famous Pastry Shoppe, Inc. , 748 F.2d 1565, 1566-68, 223 USPQ 1289, 1290 (Fed. Cir. 1984).

Consumers are likely to be confused by the use of similar marks on or in connection with goods and with services featuring or related to those goods. TMEP §1207.01(a)(ii); see In re Hyper Shoppes (Ohio), Inc., 837 F.2d 463, 6 USPQ2d 1025 (Fed. Cir. 1988) (holding BIGG’S for retail grocery and general merchandise store services likely to be confused with BIGGS for furniture); In re United Serv. Distribs., Inc., 229 USPQ 237 (TTAB 1986) (holding design for distributorship services in the field of health and beauty aids likely to be confused with design for skin cream); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (holding 21 CLUB for various items of men’s, boys’, girls’ and women’s clothing likely to be confused with THE “21” CLUB (stylized) for restaurant services and towels); In re U.S. Shoe Corp., 229 USPQ 707 (TTAB 1985) (holding CAREER IMAGE (stylized) for retail women’s clothing store services and clothing likely to be confused with CREST CAREER IMAGES (stylized) for uniforms); Steelcase Inc. v. Steelcare Inc., 219 USPQ 433 (TTAB 1983) (holding STEELCARE INC. for refinishing of furniture, office furniture, and machinery likely to be confused with STEELCASE for office furniture and accessories); Mack Trucks, Inc. v. Huskie Freightways, Inc., 177 USPQ 32 (TTAB 1972) (holding similar marks for trucking services and on motor trucks and buses likely to cause confusion).

Applicant seeks registration of the mark TITLETOWN for goods identified as “Belts; Bibs not of cloth or paper; Caps; Children's and infants' cloth bibs; Children's cloth eating bibs; Cloth bibs; Cloth bibs for adult diners; Cloth diapers; Clothing for wear in judo practices; Clothing for wear in wrestling games; Clothing, namely, arm warmers; Clothing, namely, hand-warmers; Clothing, namely, khakis; Clothing, namely, knee warmers; Clothing, namely, neck tubes; Clothing, namely, thobes; Clothing, namely, wrap-arounds; Figure skating clothing, namely, SHIRTS, HATS; Hoods; Infant and toddler one piece clothing; Jerseys; Leather belts; Mufflers; Paper hats for use as clothing items; Shoulder wraps; Ties; Tops; Triathlon clothing, namely, triathlon tights, triathlon shorts, triathlon singlets, triathlon shirts, triathlon suits; Wearable garments and clothing, namely, shirts; Wraps.” The mark TITLETOWN U.S.A. in Reg. No. 1,802,761 for goods identified as “men’s, women’s and children’s wearing apparel; namely, t-shirts, sweatshirts, knit shirts, and caps” has been cited as a bar to registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). The marks create similar commercial impressions. Marks may be confusingly similar in appearance where there are similar terms or phrases or similar parts of terms or phrases appearing in both applicant’s and registrant’s mark. See Crocker Nat’l Bank v. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce , 228 USPQ 689 (TTAB 1986), aff’d sub nom. Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce v. Wells Fargo Bank, Nat’l Ass’n , 811 F.2d 1490, 1 USPQ2d 1813 (Fed. Cir. 1987) (COMMCASH and COMMUNICASH); In re Phillips-Van Heusen Corp., 228 USPQ 949 (TTAB 1986) (21 CLUB and “21” CLUB (stylized)); In re Corning Glass Works, 229 USPQ 65 (TTAB 1985) (CONFIRM and CONFIRMCELLS); In re Collegian Sportswear Inc., 224 USPQ 174 (TTAB 1984) (COLLEGIAN OF CALIFORNIA and COLLEGIENNE); In re Pellerin Milnor Corp., 221 USPQ 558 (TTAB 1983) (MILTRON and MILLTRONICS); In re BASF A.G., 189 USPQ 424 (TTAB 1975) (LUTEXAL and LUTEX); TMEP §1207.01(b)(ii)-(iii). In addition, the goods and goods are identical and, therefore, related. Inasmuch as the marks are similar and the goods are related, a likelihood of confusion exits.

Applicant should note the following additional ground for refusal.

Trademark Act Section 2(a) – False Suggestion of a Connection

As demonstrated by the attached print outs from AMAZON.COM; from G Green Bay Packers, available at SPORTSLINE.COM. from City of Green Bay, available at GREEN-BAY.WI.US; from GOOGLE BOOK SEARCH, available at BOOKS.GOOGLE.COM, from Lambeau Field, available at LAMBEAUFIELD.COM, from NBC Sports, available at NBCSPORTS.CM.SEENON.COM; from The New York Times (Wednesday, September 17, 2008), available at NYTIMES.COM, from NFL GameDay, available at PACKERS.COM, from the Pro Football Hall of Fame, available at PROFOOTBALLHOF.COM, from Sports Nicknames 20,000 Professionals Worldwide (McFarland & Co., Inc. 2001); from Wisconsin Insurance News, available at OCI.WI.GOV, and from US Navy Today (June 26, 2008), available at NEWS.NAVY.MIL, “Titletown” is a term that is used to identify the Green Bay Packers. Therefore, Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes matter which may falsely suggest a connection with the GREEN BAY PACKERS. Although the GREEN BAY PACKERS are not connected with the goods and/or services provided by applicant under the applied-for mark, the GREEN BAY PACKERS are so famous that consumers would presume a connection. Trademark Act Section 2(a), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a); see TMEP §§1203.03, 1203.03(e). See generally Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316 (TTAB 1990); Univ. of Ala. v. BAMA-Werke Curt Baumann, 231 USPQ 408 (TTAB 1986); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428 (TTAB 1985).

The following is required for a showing of false connection under Trademark Act Section 2(a):

(1) The mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the name or identity of another person or institution;

(2) The mark would be recognized as such, in that it points uniquely and unmistakably to that person or institution;

(3) The person or institution identified in the mark is not connected with the goods sold or services performed by applicant under the mark; and

(4) The fame or reputation of the named person or institution is of such a nature that a connection with such person or institution would be presumed when applicant’s mark is used on its goods and/or services.

In re Nuclear Research Corp., 16 USPQ2d 1316, 1317 (TTAB 1990); In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi- Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985); TMEP §1203.03(e).

The term at issue need not be the actual, legal name of the party falsely associated with applicant’s mark to be unregistrable. TMEP §1203.03(a); see, e.g., Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ 428, 429 (TTAB 1985) (holding the wording MARGARITAVILLE to be the persona of singer Jimmy Buffett). The term must, however, be so uniquely and unmistakably associated with the named party as to constitute that party’s name or identity. TMEP §1203.03; see, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985); Buffett v. Chi-Chi’s, Inc. , 226 USPQ at 429.

Where a term falsely suggests a connection with a person or institution in violation of Trademark Act Section 2(a), the phonetic equivalent of that term also violates Section 2(a). See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (“there can be no question . . . that ‘WESTPOINT’ written together as one word is the equivalent of ‘WEST POINT’ written as two words”).

Dictionary definitions alone may be competent to demonstrate that the mark sought to be registered is the same as, or a close approximation of, the named person or institution. See, e.g., In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202, 204 (TTAB 1985) (holding that the wording WESTPOINT for various firearms falsely suggested a connection with the United States Military Academy, when the Board considered only dictionary definitions made of record).

The fact that applicant did not intend to adopt the name of, or trade upon the goodwill of, the named person or institution does not obviate a false connection refusal. Trademark Act Section 2(a) does not require such intent. TMEP §1203.03(e); see, e.g., S & L Acquisition Co. v. Helene Arpels, Inc., 9 USPQ2d 1221 (TTAB 1987); Consol. Natural Gas v. CNG Fuel Sys., Ltd., 228 USPQ 753 (TTAB 1985). However, evidence of such intent is highly probative that the public will make the intended false connection. Univ. of Notre Dame du Lac v. J.C. Gourmet Food Imps. Co., 703 F.2d 1372, 217 USPQ 505 (Fed. Cir. 1983); TMEP §1203.03(e).

If applicant’s goods and/or services are of a type that the named person or institution sells or uses, and the named party is sufficiently famous, then it may be inferred that purchasers of the goods and/or services would be misled into making a false connection of sponsorship, approval, support or the like with the named party. In re Cotter & Co., 228 USPQ 202 (TTAB 1985); In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570 (TTAB 1976).

The fact that purchasers would realize, at some point after purchase, that no connection exists between the listed goods and/or services and the person or institution falsely connected, is not relevant. The focus is on “the initial reaction or impact of the mark when viewed in conjunction with the applicable goods or services.” In re Bicentennial Soc’y , 197 USPQ 905, 906 (TTAB 1978) (quoting In re Nat’l Intelligence Acad. , 190 USPQ 570, 572 (TTAB 1976)).

In the alternative, the following third refusal to register is now issued:

Trademark Act Section 2(e)(2) – Geographically Deceptive and Primarily Geographically Deceptively Misdescriptive

Applicant seeks registration of the mark TITLETOWN for goods identified as “Belts; Bibs not of cloth or paper; Caps; Children's and infants' cloth bibs; Children's cloth eating bibs; Cloth bibs; Cloth bibs for adult diners; Cloth diapers; Clothing for wear in judo practices; Clothing for wear in wrestling games; Clothing, namely, arm warmers; Clothing, namely, hand-warmers; Clothing, namely, khakis; Clothing, namely, knee warmers; Clothing, namely, neck tubes; Clothing, namely, thobes; Clothing, namely, wrap-arounds; Figure skating clothing, namely, SHIRTS, HATS; Hoods; Infant and toddler one piece clothing; Jerseys; Leather belts; Mufflers; Paper hats for use as clothing items; Shoulder wraps; Ties; Tops; Triathlon clothing, namely, triathlon tights, triathlon shorts, triathlon singlets, triathlon shirts, triathlon suits; Wearable garments and clothing, namely, shirts; Wraps.” Commonly used nicknames for geographic locations are generally treated as equivalent to the proper geographic name of the place identified. TMEP §1210.02(a); see, e.g., In re Carolina Apparel, 48 USPQ2d 1542, 1543 (TTAB 1998) (holding CAROLINA APPAREL primarily geographically descriptive of retail clothing store services where evidence showed that “Carolina” is used to indicate either the state of North Carolina or South Carolina); In re Charles S. Loeb Pipes, Inc., 190 USPQ 238, 245 (TTAB 1976) (holding OLD DOMINION is “the accepted nickname for the State of Virginia”). Here, the record indicates that the Applicant is located in Boca Raton, Florida. Therefore, the following refusal is now issued:

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark consists of or includes geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter in relation to the identified goods and/or services. Trademark Act Sections 2(a) and 2(e)(3), 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); see In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 67 USPQ2d 1539 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 66 USPQ2d 1853 (Fed. Cir. 2003), In re Budge Mfg. Co., 857 F.2d 773, 8 USPQ2d 1259 (Fed. Cir. 1988); TMEP §§1210, 1210.01(b)-(c).

A mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive if the following is shown:

(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 do not originate in the geographic place identified in the mark;

(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; and

(4) The misrepresentation regarding the geographic origin of the goods and/or services is material to the purchaser’s decision to buy the goods or use the services in question.

In re Les Halles De Paris J.V., 334 F.3d 1371, 1373, 67 USPQ2d 1539, 1541 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 1341, 66 USPQ2d 1853, 1859 (Fed. Cir. 2003); TMEP §1210.01(b)-(c).

Geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive matter need not be the entire mark, or even the dominant portion of the mark. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(a), (e)(3); TMEP §1210.06(b). A refusal under Trademark Act Section 2(a) or 2(e)(3) is appropriate if some portion of the applied-for mark is geographically deceptive and primarily geographically deceptively misdescriptive with respect to the goods and/or services in question. See e.g., Am. Speech-Language-Hearing Ass’n v. Nat’l Hearing Aid Soc’y , 224 USPQ 798, 808 (TTAB 1984); see TMEP §1210.06(b).

Evidence of goods-place association need only show a reasonable basis for concluding that the public is likely to believe the mark identifies the place from which the goods originate. In re Cal. Innovations Inc., 329 F.3d 1334, 1338, 66 USPQ2d 1853, 1855 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (quoting In re Loew’s Theatres, Inc. , 769 F.2d 764, 768, 226 USPQ 865, 868 (Fed. Cir. 1985)). Thus, to make a goods-place association, case law permits an inference that the consumer associates the product with the geographic location because that place is known for producing the product. See id. However, the goods-place association must also be material to a consumer’s purchasing decision in geographically deceptive and geographically deceptively misdescriptive refusals. In re Cal. Innovations, 329 F.3d at 1340-41, 66 USPQ2d at 1857-58; TMEP §1210.05(b).

Materiality is shown when one of the following is satisfied by the evidence of record: (1) the goods in question are a principal product of the place named in the mark, (2) the place is noted for or renowned for such goods, or (3) the goods are, or are related to, the traditional products of the place named in the mark. See In re Cal. Innovations, 329 F.3d at 1341, 66 USPQ2d at 1857; In re Save Venice N.Y., Inc., 259 F.3d. 1346, 1352, 59 USPQ2d 1778, 1782 (Fed. Cir. 2001); In re Wada, 194 F.3d 1297, 1300, 52 USPQ2d 1539, 1540-41 (Fed. Cir. 1999); In re Loew’s Theatres, 769 F.2d at 768, 226 USPQ at 868; In re House of Windsor, Inc., 221 USPQ 53, 56-57 (TTAB 1983); TMEP §1210.05(b)(i).

Applicant must provide a written statement explaining whether the goods are or will be manufactured, packaged, shipped from, sold in or have any other connection with the geographic location named in the mark. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §1210.03.

Applicant must respond to the requirement(s) set forth below.

Request for Information

An applicant can be required to provide more information if it is necessary for proper examination of the application. 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §§814, 1402.01(e); see In re DTI P’ship LLP , 67 USPQ2d 1699, 1701-02 (TTAB 2003).

Therefore, applicant must submit samples of advertisements or promotional materials and/or a photograph of the identified goods. If such materials are not available, applicant must submit samples of advertisements or promotional materials and a photograph of similar goods.

Submifled by p,aulb485 I THINK it is kinda funny how ev eryone THlNKS their tow n slhou.ld be Titl.eTo w n USA because the 100,000+ residents (including my self) of Green Bay, Wis ., KNOW w e li,ve in Titl,eTo w n USA.

If anyone doubts me, d·o a search key w ord' ··city of Green Bay sea i: :· let me know what it says underneath the city of Green Ba y.

So no matter w hom ESPN proclaims Titl.eTo w n USA, it doesn't count until' it i,s on your city seal arid' off ours.

OFFICE ACTION

STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 12/14/2016

INTRODUCTION

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.

SUMMARY OF ISSUES:

Prior-Filed Pending Application Sections 1, 2, 3, and 45 Refusal – Failure to Function as a Service Mark New Specimen Required Identification of Services Multiple-Class Application Requirements

PRIOR-FILED PENDING APPLICATION

The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has found no similar registered marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). 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. 86332543 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.

SECTIONS 1, 2, 3, AND 45 REFUSAL – FAILURE TO FUNCTION AS A SERVICE MARK

Registration is refused because the applied-for mark, as used on the specimen of record, is used only as the title of a single television program; it does not function as a service mark to identify and distinguish applicant’s services from those of others and to indicate the source of applicant’s services. Trademark Act Sections 1, 2, 3, and 45, 15 U.S.C. §§1051-1053, 1127; see In re Posthuma, 45 USPQ2d 2011, 2013-14 (TTAB 1998) (citing In re Cooper, 254 F.2d 611, 612-16, 117 USPQ 396, 398-400 (C.C.P.A. 1958)); TMEP §§904.07(b), 1301.02(d).

Single creative works include works in which the content does not change significantly from one performance to another. TMEP §1202.08(a); see In re Posthuma, 45 USPQ2d at 2013-14 (citing In re Scholastic, Inc., 23 USPQ2d 1774, 1776 (TTAB 1992)).

Applicant may respond to this refusal by submitting evidence that the applied-for mark is used to identify a series, rather than a single work. See TMEP §1301.02(d). The name of a series of creative works may be registrable if the designation serves to identify and distinguish the source of the series. See In re Posthuma, 45 USPQ2d at 2013-14; TMEP §§1202.08(c), 1301.02(d); cf. In re Scholastic, Inc., 23 USPQ2d at 1777-78. Evidence of a series includes advertising for radio or television programs (not for the same show) that show the mark as a source identifier for the series as well as distinguish the mark from the individual titles of the programs. See TMEP §§1202.08(c), 1301.02(d). For example, applicant may submit additional specimens displaying the applied-for mark for multiple episodes.

If applicant cannot satisfy the requirement for evidence of a series, applicant may amend the application from a use in commerce basis under Trademark Act Section 1(a) to an intent to use basis under Section 1(b), and the refusal will be withdrawn. See TMEP §806.03(c). However, if applicant amends the basis to Section 1(b), registration will not be granted until applicant later amends the application back to use in commerce by filing an acceptable allegation of use along with evidence of use on a series. See 15 U.S.C. §1051(c), (d); 37 C.F.R. §§2.76, 2.88; TMEP §1103. If the same specimen is submitted with an allegation of use without further evidence of a series, the same refusal will issue.

To amend to Section 1(b), applicant must submit the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20: “ 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 filing date of the application.” 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(2); TMEP §806.01(b); see 15 U.S.C. §1051(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.35(b)(1), 2.193(e)(1).

Applicant should note the following additional ground for refusal.

NEW SPECIMEN REQUIRED

Registration also is refused because the specimen does not show the applied-for mark in use in commerce in International Class 38. 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(g)(i). Specifically, applicant’s has identified services that identify both streaming services and entertainment services in the nature of a non-downloadable series. The submitted specimen is a screenshot of an episode of a series. While this screenshot, together with additional specimens as addressed above, may support a series in International Class 41 (entertainment services in the nature of a non-downloadable series), the specimen does not support or reference a streaming service offered by applicant under the applied-for mark.

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. 15 U.S.C. §1051(a)(1); 37 C.F.R. §§2.34(a)(1)(iv), 2.56(a); TMEP §§904, 904.07(a).

Applicant may respond to this refusal by satisfying one of options above in the SECTIONS 1, 2, 3, AND 45 REFUSAL – FAILURE TO FUNCTION AS A SERVICE MARK section.

If applicant responds to the refusal, applicant must also respond to the requirements set forth below.

IDENTIFICATION OF SERVICES

The wording in the identification of services must be clarified because it is too broad and could include services in other international classes. See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.03. Specifically, applicant has identified its services as “ providing non-downloadable documentary films featuring sports teams and human interest stories through streaming via the Internet”. If applicant’s service is a streaming service, such a service is properly classified in International Class 38. However, an entertainment service in the nature of a non-downloadable film is classified in International Class 41. As written, is appears applicant may be providing an entertainment service, a streaming service, or both. Thus, applicant must clarify the entry.

Applicant may substitute any or all of the following wording, if accurate. Additions to the identification are bolded and underlined. Deletions are in italics and struck through:

“ Streaming of video, namely, Providing non-downloadable documentary films featuring sports teams and human interest stories through video streaming via the Internet” in International Class 38;

“ Entertainment services, namely, providing temporary use of non-downloadable documentary films featuring sports teams and human interest stories made available through video streaming via the Internet” in International Class 41

If applicant adopts the suggested amendment of the services, then applicant must amend the classification to International Classes 38 and 41. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.32(a)(7), 2.85; TMEP §§805, 1401.

Applicant may amend the identification to clarify or limit the services, but not to broaden or expand the 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 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.

MULTIPLE-CLASS APPLICATION REQUIREMENTS

The application identifies services in more than one international class; therefore, applicant must satisfy all the requirements below for each international class based on use in commerce under Section 1(a):

(1) List the services by their international class number in consecutive numerical order, starting with the lowest numbered class.

(2) Submit a filing fee for each international class not covered by the fee already paid (view the USPTO’s current fee schedule at http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/tm_fee_info.jsp). The application identifies services that are classified in at least two classes; however, applicant submitted a fee sufficient for only one class. Applicant must either submit the filing fee for the class not covered by the submitted fee or restrict the application to the one class covered by the fee already paid.

(3) Submit verified dates of first use of the mark anywhere and in commerce for each international class.

(4) Submit a specimen for each international class. The current specimen is not acceptable for any international class.

Examples of specimens for services include advertising and marketing materials, brochures, photographs of business signage and billboards, and website printouts that show the mark used in the actual sale, rendering, or advertising of the services.

(5) Submit a verified statement that “ The specimen was in use in commerce on or in connection with the services listed in the application at least as early as the filing date of the application.”

See 15 U.S.C. §§1051(a), 1112; 37 C.F.R. §§ 2.32(a)(6)-(7), 2.34(a)(1), 2.86(a); TMEP §§904, 1403.01, 1403.02(c).

The fees for adding classes to a regular TEAS application are $325 per class when the fee is paid using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) and $375 per class when the fee is paid in a paper submission. See 37 C.F.R. §2.6(a)(1)(i)-(ii); TMEP §§810, 1403.02(c).

The Office action may not be immediately viewable, to allow for necessary system updates of the application, but will be available within 24 hours of this e-mail notification.

Do NOT hit “Reply” to this e-mail notification, or otherwise e-mail your response because the USPTO does NOT accept e-mails as responses to Office actions.

Failure to file the required response by the applicable response deadline will result in the ABANDONMENT of your application. For more information regarding abandonment, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/basics/abandon.jsp.

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION: Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations. These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document. Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.”

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation. All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” For more information on how to handle private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
