DATABASE SEARCH:
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(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.
Summary of Issue(s) Applicant Must Address:

Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion
Ownership of Cited Registration
SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL – 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. 5727494. Trademark
Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the attached registration.
STANDARD OF REVIEW
Trademark Act Section 2(d) bars registration of an applied-for mark that is so similar to a registered mark that it is likely consumers would be
confused, mistaken, or deceived as to the commercial source of the goods and/or services of the parties. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). Likelihood of
confusion is determined on a case-by-case basis by applying the factors set forth in In re E. I. du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361,
177 USPQ 563, 567 (C.C.P.A. 1973) (called the “ du Pont factors”). In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d 1315, 1322, 123 USPQ2d 1744, 1747
(Fed. Cir. 2017). Only those factors that are “relevant and of record” need be considered. M2 Software, Inc. v. M2 Commc’ns, Inc., 450
F.3d 1378, 1382, 78 USPQ2d 1944, 1947 (Fed. Cir. 2006) (citing Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d 1238, 1241, 73 USPQ2d
1350, 1353 (Fed. Cir. 2004)); see In re Inn at St. John’s, LLC , 126 USPQ2d 1742, 1744 (TTAB 2018).
Although not all du Pont factors may be relevant, there are generally two key considerations in any likelihood of confusion analysis: (1) the
similarities between the compared marks and (2) the relatedness of the compared goods and/or services. See In re i.am.symbolic, llc, 866 F.3d at
1322, 123 USPQ2d at 1747 (quoting Herbko Int’l, Inc. v. Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164-65, 64 USPQ2d 1375, 1380 (Fed. Cir. 2002));
Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard Paper Co., 544 F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (C.C.P.A. 1976) (“The fundamental inquiry mandated
by [Section] 2(d) goes to the cumulative effect of differences in the essential characteristics of the goods [or services] and differences in the
marks.”); TMEP §1207.01.
COMPARISON OF MARKS
Both marks at issue consist of the wording “I AM A VOTER.” Therefore, they are similar for the purpose of Section 2(d).
COMPARISON OF GOODS AND SERVICES
Both parties offer Lapel pins; Ornamental lapel pins in Class 18; Clothing, namely, t-shirts, shirts, hats, caps in Class 25; and Providing
information regarding political issues, knowing how to vote and knowing how to register to vote; Promoting public awareness of the need for
educating people about issues that affect them and encouraging people to participate in the political process by registering, voting and speaking
out in Class 35. Therefore, the goods and services are identical and registration is refused pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act.
CLAIM OF OWNERSHIP OF REGISTRATIONS
If the mark in the cited registration is owned by applicant, applicant may provide evidence of ownership of the mark by satisfying one of the
following:
(1) Record the assignment with the USPTO’s Assignment Recordation Branch (ownership transfer documents such as assignments
can be filed online at http://etas.uspto.gov) and promptly notify the trademark examining attorney that the assignment has been
duly recorded.
(2) Submit copies of documents evidencing the chain of title.
(3) Submit the following statement, verified with an affidavit or signed declaration under 37 C.F.R. §2.20: “ Applicant is the owner
of U.S. Registration No. 5727494.” To provide this statement using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), use
the “Response to Office Action” form; answer “yes” to wizard questions #3 and #10; then, continuing on to the next portion of
the form, in the “Additional Statement(s)” section, find “Active Prior Registration(s)” and insert the U.S. registration numbers in
the data fields; and follow the instructions within the form for signing. The form must be signed twice; a signature is required
both in the “Declaration Signature” section and in the “Response Signature” section.
TMEP §812.01; see 15 U.S.C. §1060; 37 C.F.R. §§2.193(e)(1), 3.25, 3.73(a)-(b); TMEP §502.02(a).
Recording a document with the Assignment Recordation Branch does not constitute a response to an Office action. TMEP §503.01(d).

If applicant does not respond to this Office action within six months of the issue/mailing date, or responds by expressly abandoning the
application, the application process will end and the trademark will fail to register. See 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.65(a), 2.68(a); TMEP
§§718.01, 718.02. Additionally, the USPTO will not refund the application filing fee, which is a required processing fee. See 37 C.F.R.
§§2.6(a)(1)(i)-(iv), 2.209(a); TMEP §405.04.
When an application has been abandoned for failure to respond to an Office action, an applicant may timely file a petition to revive the
application, which, if granted, would allow the application to return to active status. See 37 C.F.R. §2.66; TMEP §1714. The petition must be
filed within two months of the date of issuance of the notice of abandonment and may be filed online via TEAS with a $100 fee. See 37 C.F.R.
§§2.6(a)(15)(ii), 2.66(a)(1), (b)(1).
ADVISORY AS TO INFORMAL / TELEPHONE / EMAIL COMMUNICATIONS WITH THE EXAMINING ATTORNEY
Trademark applicants, registrants, and parties to proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board and their attorneys or agents are
required to conduct their business with decorum and courtesy. See 37 C.F.R. §2.192. The examining attorney who prepared the action, and not the
supervisory or reviewing examining attorney, should be the person contacted by telephone or e-mail. See TMEP § 709.04.
HOWEVER, informal communications such as email and telephone may not be used to request advisory opinions as to the likelihood of
overcoming a substantive refusal or requirement. The examining attorney advises the applicant to file a formal response for consideration of
arguments regarding any substantive refusal or requirement. See TMEP §709.05. Also, USPTO employees, including examining attorneys cannot
comment on the validity of registered marks (see TMEP §1801) or answer questions as to whether a particular mark or type of mark is eligible
for registration (see TMEP §108.02).
Further, telephone or E-mail may not be used to file applications for registration of marks, responses to Office actions, pre- or post-publication
amendments to an application, changes of correspondence address, appointments or revocations of attorneys, attorney withdrawal requests,
petitions, documents required by statute to show use of a mark in commerce or to request an extension of time to show such use, and post-
registration maintenance documents or proposed amendments. These documents may be filed electronically using TEAS. Responses to Office
actions sent via e-mail will not be accorded a date of receipt. 37 C.F.R. §2.62(c).

“Documents.”
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.
(2) TIMELY RESPONSE IS REQUIRED: Please carefully review the Office action to determine (1) how to respond, and (2) the applicable

response period. For information regarding response time periods, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/process/status/responsetime.jsp.
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. Instead, the USPTO recommends that you respond online using the TEAS response form located at
http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/response_forms.jsp.
(3) QUESTIONS: For questions about the contents of the Office action itself, please contact the assigned trademark examining attorney. 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.

NONFINAL OFFICE ACTION
The USPTO must receive applicant’s response to this letter within six months of the issue date below or the application will be abandoned.
Respond using the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS). A link to the appropriate TEAS response form appears at the end of this
Office action.
Issue date: December 12, 2019
TEAS PLUS OR TEAS REDUCED FEE (TEAS RF) APPLICANTS – TO MAINTAIN LOWER FEE, ADDITIONAL
REQUIREMENTS MUST BE MET, INCLUDING SUBMITTING DOCUMENTS ONLINE: Applicants who filed their application online
using the lower-fee TEAS Plus or TEAS RF application form must (1) file certain documents online using TEAS, including responses to Office
actions (see TMEP §§819.02(b), 820.02(b) for a complete list of these documents); (2) maintain a valid e-mail correspondence address; and (3)
agree to receive correspondence from the USPTO by e-mail throughout the prosecution of the application. See 37 C.F.R. §§2.22(b), 2.23(b);
TMEP §§819, 820. TEAS Plus or TEAS RF applicants who do not meet these requirements must submit an additional processing fee of $125
per class of goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §§2.6(a)(1)(v), 2.22(c), 2.23(c); TMEP §§819.04, 820.04. However, in certain situations, TEAS
Plus or TEAS RF applicants may respond to an Office action by authorizing an examiner’s amendment by telephone or e-mail without incurring
this additional fee.
This non-final action addresses applicant’s response of November 12, 2019. Applicant must address the new issue(s) below.
NEW ISSUE – INFORMATIONAL MATTER – INCAPABLE
Registration is refused because the applied-for mark is a slogan or term that does not function as a trademark or service mark to indicate the
source of applicant’s goods and/or services and to identify and distinguish them from others. Trademark Act Sections 1, 2, 3, and 45, 15 U.S.C.
§§1051-1053, 1127. In this case, the applied-for mark is an informational social, political, religious, or similar kind of message that merely
conveys support of, admiration for, or affiliation with the ideals conveyed by the message. See In re Hulting, 107 USPQ2d 1175, 1177-79
(TTAB 2013) (holding NO MORE RINOS!, a slogan meaning “No More Republicans In Name Only,” not registrable for a variety of paper
items, shirts, and novelty buttons because the mark would be perceived merely as a commonly used political message); In re Eagle Crest, Inc., 96
USPQ2d 1227, 1229-31 (TTAB 2010) (holding ONCE A MARINE, ALWAYS A MARINE not registrable for clothing items because the mark
would be perceived merely as an old and familiar military expression); TMEP §1202.04(b).
Terms and phrases that merely convey an informational message are not registrable. See In re Eagle Crest, Inc., 96 USPQ2d at 1229.
Determining whether a term or phrase functions as a trademark or service mark depends on how it would be perceived by the relevant public. In
re Eagle Crest, Inc., 96 USPQ2d at 1229; In re Aerospace Optics, Inc., 78 USPQ2d 1861, 1862 (TTAB 2006); TMEP §1202.04.
Here, applicant’s website plainly states that the mark is a political / social statement, namely, a “movement that aims to create a cultural shift
around voting and civic engagement by unifying around a central truth; our democracy works best when we all participate.” Put differently,
applicant’s mark states something about the individual, namely, that they are a voter rather than identify the source of the goods and services in
the marketplace.
An applicant may not overcome this refusal by amending the application to seek registration on the Supplemental Register or asserting a claim of
acquired distinctiveness under Section 2(f). TMEP §1202.04(d); see In re Eagle Crest, Inc., 96 USPQ2d at 1229. Nor will submitting a
substitute specimen overcome this refusal. See TMEP §1202.04(d).

RESPONSE GUIDANCE
Missing the response deadline to this letter will cause the application to abandon. A response or notice of appeal must be received by
the USPTO before midnight Eastern Time of the last day of the response period. TEAS and ESTTA maintenance or unforeseen
circumstances could affect an applicant’s ability to timely respond.
Responses signed by an unauthorized party are not accepted and can cause the application to abandon. If applicant does not have an
attorney, the response must be signed by the individual applicant, all joint applicants, or someone with legal authority to bind a juristic
applicant. If applicant has an attorney, the response must be signed by the attorney.
If needed, find contact information for the supervisor of the office or unit listed in the signature block.

issued an official letter that you must respond to by the specified deadline or your application will be abandoned. Please follow the
steps below.
(1) Read the official letter.
(2) Direct questions about the contents of the Office action to the assigned attorney below.
571-272-6563 (phone)
Siddharth.Jagannathan@uspto
Direct questions about navigating USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your
application, and/or whether there are outstanding deadlines or documents related to your file to the Trademark Assistance Center
(TAC).
(3) Respond within 6 months (or earlier, if required in the Office action) from December 12, 2019, using the Trademark Electronic

GENERAL GUIDANCE
· Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid
missing critical deadlines.
· Update your correspondence email address, if needed, to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your
application.
· Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about your application. Private companies not associated with
the USPTO use public information available in trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices –
most of which require fees. All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”
