Case Study:
We received the following trademark matter from a U.S trademark attorney located in New Jersey. He required us to conduct a trademark search on the USPTO federal trademark database, provide an opinion and file the mark. We conducted the search and found a potentially conflicting mark. The attorney advised his client of this but his client wanted to proceed with the filing. We filed the trademark application with the USPTO. Subsequently, we received an office action rejecting the application on the basis of likelihood of confusion with the previously registered mark. The attorneys requested us to prepare a suitable response. We drafted a response in accordance with TMEP guidelines quoting TTAB and federal decisions in support of registration of our client’s mark and filed it with the USPTO. The examining attorney refused the registration of the mark and issued a final refusal. We then prepared a request for reconsideration and filed it with the USPTO and simultaneously an appeal brief which we filed with the TTAB. The TTAB reviewed and found it in favour of our client. The TTAM ordered the registration of the mark. The U.S attorney who outsourced the case to us has since then sent us over 45 trademark cases.
