store services featuring cosmetics, make-up, skincare, baby, and beauty products; On-line wholesale store services featuring cosmetics, make-up, skincare, baby and beauty products. The

Trademark Office has refused to register Applicant’s mark in classes 003 and 035 because of a likelihood of confusion with U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH in class 003 for

Cosmetic body scrubs for the lips; Cosmetics, namely, lip repairers; Exfoliants for lips; Lip polisher. 1Applicant respectfully disagrees and provides its arguments below in support thereof.

I. The Marks Have Different Distinct Commercial Impressions

When comparing marks, they must be examined in their entireties. Sears, Roebuck & Co. v. Hoffman, 119 U.S.P.Q. 137 (C.C.P.A. 1958). When looking at the Cited Registration vs. the

Applicant’s mark in their entireties, the commercial impressions are substantially different. The

Examining Attorney contends in her final office action that “the only real difference in the

phonetic sound of the marks is the addition of the ‘I’ at the nd e of the proposed mark.”

1 The Examining Attorney withdrew the refusal based on Registration No. 4,407,449 for BERRY CRUNCH in international class 003, namely for Bath gel; Bath salts; Bath soaps; Body cream; Body lotion; Body oil; Body scrub; Body sprays; Bubble bath; Dusting powder; Foot scrubs; Lip balm; Lip gloss; Liquid soap; ; Reeds and scented oils sold as a unit for use in room scent diffusers in her Denial of the Request for Reconsideration of November 22, 2016.

However, the Examining Attorney fails to recognize the significance of the additional letter “I”

in the proposed mark, which creates a distinct overall commercial impression very different than

that of the Cited Registrations.

For example, in Champagne Louis Roederer S.A. v. Delicato Vineyards, 148 F.3d 1373

(Fed. Cir. 1998), although two highly similar marks were usedn i connection with identical

goods, (“CRISTAL” and “CRYSTAL CREEK”), the Federal Circuit affirmed the TTAB’s

decision to allow registration because the sound, connotation nd a commercial impression

differed. See also, In re Hearst Corp., 25 U.S.P.Q.2d 1238, 1239 (C.A.F.C. 1992) (“THE

VARGA GIRL” was sufficiently different from the registered mark “VARGAS” to permit

registration even when the marks were for virtually identicalroducts); p Anderson, Clayton & Co.

v. Christie Food Prods. Inc., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1555, 1557 (T.T.A.B. 1987) (The common use of one

word insufficient to establish likelihood of confusion, where marks include other components,

even when used in identical or similar goods and services.).

In the Applicant’s case, the commercial impression between the Applicant’s mark and the

U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH are quite different. The word K’RUNCH of U.S.

Registration No. 4760421 conveys a very different meaning than the word CRUNCHI in the

Applicant’s mark. A significant distinctiveness can be created even if the marks in question differ only with respect to a single letter. See Jacobs v. Int’l Multifoods Corp., 212 U.S.P.Q. 641

(C.C.P.A. 1982) (“BOSTON SEA PARTY” and “BOSTON TEA PARTY”); Lever Brothers

Company v. Babson, 94 U.S.P.Q. 161, 164 (C.C.P.A.1952) (“SURF” and “SURGE”). The “I”

portion of the word CRUNCHI transforms the word “crunch” into a completely different word having a different meaning than the word “crunch”. Applicant’smark uses a homophone word

with a double meaning, resulting in an artistic, but wholesome, appearance for Applicant’s mark.

CRUNCHI is thus a trendy form of crunchy.

The word “crunchy” is slang to describe “health or environmental issues” and is short for

“crunchy granola (considered as natural and wholesome).” See Exhibit A. The word “crunchy”

is an adjective meaning “having a healthy diet and way of living; natural; earthy: She’s a crunchy

granola girl….” Id. The Free Dictionary.com further defines slang crunchy as “[i]f they’re

crunchy types, consider camping out along the way instead of staying at motels.” See Exhibit B.

Again this signifies someone in touch with nature, i.e. natural or wholesome. Wiktionary defines

crunchy as “[h]aving sensibilities of a counter-culture nature lover or hippie; derived from the

concept of crunchy granola.” See Exhibit C. Stated differently, natural is the theme of the slang word crunchy. Finally, Urban Dictionary defines crunchy as:

Used to describe persons who have adjusted or altered their lifestyle for environmental reasons. Crunchy persons tend to be politically strongly left- leaning and may be additionally but not exclusively categorized as vegetarians, vegans, eco-tarians, conservationists, environmentalists, neo-hippies, tree huggers, nature enthusiasts, etc. Also used to describe establishments where alternative foods and products are sold, i.e. natural food stores. Modified derivative of granola.

See Exhibit D. Respectfully speaking, there is an abundance of evidence that the Examining

Attorney has not considered when looking at Applicant’s mark. CRUNCHI gives a natural, wholesome, organic commercial impression. This is further demonstrated in Applicant’s website located at www.crunchi.com wherein the Applicant defines the word CRUNCHI as “socially,

environmentally and health conscious”. See Exhibit E.

On the other hand, the mark K’RUNCH of U.S. Registration No. 4760421, assuming arguendo that K’RUNCH is pronounced similar to the word “crunch”, has a very different

commercial impression. The word “crunch” is a verb or noun and means “to crush or grind

noisily … to chew with a crushing sound…” See Exhibit F. Additionally, it appears the

commercial impression intended to be given by the mark K’RUNCH is intended to be associated

with some type of pirate-like theme. See Exhibit G. The specimen filed with the USPTO

mentions that the mark K’RUNCH is one of three products of “JAMESON’S” “LIP BOOTY”,

and that K’RUNCH comes in the BLACK BOX packaging. Id. Applicant submits that the term

BOOTY is a fairly common term associated with pirates. See Exhibit H. Additionally the packaging has two outward facing opposing pirate style swords and stylized lettering in stylized font that further gives the impression of a pirate like atmosphere. Applicant submits that the intended sound of U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH is a long R (as if spoken by a pirate, i.e), which when in Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH would actually sound like

KRRRRUNCH. This sound along with the pirate like theme commercial impression implied by

U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH - a verb - has a very different commercial impression than the chic wholesome, natural and health conscious feelings given off by the

Applicant’s mark CRUNCHI.

Further, as it relates to class 035 for on-line retail store services, an apostrophe cannot be used on a domain website name, thus mark K’RUNCH cannot be used as a domain name

(www.k’runch.com). On the other hand, Applicant’s mark CRUNCHI can be used as a domain

name (www.crunchi.com). This further signifies the importance of the differences between the

marks given the use of an apostrophe in the cited registration. Therefore, the textual portions,

commercial impressions and overall look of the marks, when viewed in their entireties, are quite

different and invoke different images in consumers’ minds. Therefore, Applicant’s mark would

not confuse the consumer as compared to U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH.

II. Textual Portions of the Marks Differ

Further, a significant distinctiveness can be created even if the marks in question differ

only with respect to a single letter. See Jacobs v. Int’l Multifoods Corp., 212 U.S.P.Q. 641

(C.C.P.A. 1982) (“BOSTON SEA PARTY” and “BOSTON TEA PARTY”);Lever Brothers

Company v. Babson, 94 U.S.P.Q. 161, 164 (C.C.P.A. 1952) (“SURF” and “SURGE”).e Th marks must be considered in the way they are used and perceived, with all components given appropriate weight. Id. Similarity of the marks in one respect – sight, sound, orning mea – will not automatically result in a determination that confusionikely is l even if the goods are identical or closely related.See In re Thor Tech, Inc., 90 USPQ2d 1634, 1635 (TTAB 2009); In re White

Swan Ltd., 8 USPQ2d 1534, 1535 (TTAB 1988).

The textual portions of the marks are different and also sound quite different. Indeed, the

letters “crunch” is a component of both marks. However, the word of the Applicant’s mark is

CRUNCHI while the Cited Registration begins with K’. Further, the Applicant’s use of the “I”

at the end of the mark, which as more fully explained above, creates a very different commercial

impression. The textual portions of Applicant’s mark CRUNCHI and the Cited Registration

K’RUNCH differ in size, parts of speak, punctuation, and look romf the textual portions of the

mark of the Cited Registration. As a result, therefore, there can be no likelihood of confusion

between Applicant’s mark and the mark of U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for K’RUNCH.

III. Conclusion

Based on the arguments provided herein, there is no likelihood of confusion between the

applied for mark in international class 003 and 035 and U.S. Registration No. 4760421 for

K’RUNCH in class 003. Therefore, the Applicant’s Mark should be deemed capable of registration.

1. To process, usually in a time­consuming or complicated way. Connotes an essentially trivial operation that is nonetheless painful to perform. The pain may be due to the triviality's being embedded in a loop from 1 to 1,000,000,000. "Fortran programs do mostly number crunching (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/number­­crunching)." 2. To reduce the size of a file without losing information by a scheme such as Huffman coding (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/huffman­coding). Since such lossless compression usually takes more computations than simpler methods such as run­length encoding (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/run­length­encoding), the term is doubly appropriate. 3. The hash character (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/hash­character). Used at XEROX (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/xerox) and CMU (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/cmu), among other places. ­real­words­in­this­pokemon­quiz/) 4. To squeeze program source to the minimum size that will still compile or execute. The term came from a BBC Microcomputer (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/bbc­microcomputer) program that crunched BBC BASIC source (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/source) in order to make it run more quickly (apart from storing keywords (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/keywords) as byte codes, the language was wholly interpreted, so the number of characters mattered). Obfuscated C Contest (http://www.dictionary.com/browse/obfuscated­c­contest) entries are often crunched; see the first example under that entry.
