RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION
COMMUNICATION
This responds to the Of?ce Action issued February 27, 2015 in connection with
Application Serial No. 76/717,138 (the Applica??.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Applicant Safedate, LLC (Applicant) offers downloadable software in the nature of a
web platform that allows potential dating partners to communicate securely and anonymously
with one another and through background veri?cation to know that the person on the other
end of the conversation is who he or she says. This platform solves two problems that are
ubiquitous in online dating: ?rst, ensuring that a potential dating partner has not misrepresented
him or herself, or some part of his or her background; and second, giving potential dating
partners a way to securely and anonymously communicate with one another, while disclosing
only as much information as they wish to share. As such, the application, marketed under the
SAFEDATE mark, is The Bridge Between Dating Online and Meeting in Person.1
(See Exhibit A, SafeDate screenshots (website visited August 21, 2015).) In conjunction
with this Response, Applicant is amending its application to an intent-to-use ?ling basis
In contrast to the integrated and innovative SAFEDATE application, the services
provided under the DATESAFE mark are conventional background investigation services, and
consumers are not likely to confuse the two.
The Examining Attomeys refusal should be withdrawn for at least three reasons. First,
Applicants choice to use SAFE as the dominant portion of its mark creates a distinctly different
commercial impression from the more commonly phrased DATESAFE. Emphasizing the SAFE
element places the focus on security, suggesting both the secure nature of a SAFEDATE users
communications with potential dating partners and the peace of mind associated with being able
to verify the identity of the person with whom one is interacting online, as well as the security
that goes along with meeting through a software application before meeting in person.
Second, Applicants goods are distinct from the services provided under the cited mark.
Consumers looking for the interactive, secure experience provided by Applicants software are
not likely to go looking for the traditional private investigation services marketed by
DATESAFE. The Of?ce Action does not provide any evidence to the contrary.
Third, the word DATE is ubiquitous in the online dating world, as evidenced by third-
party registrations, and is also common in the world of background investigation services.
Accordingly, to the extent Applicants Mark bears some similarity to the cited mark, consumers
have been conditioned to distinguish between marks such as the ones involved here, and would
not be confused by the transposition of terms.
under Section 1(b). Since the ?ling of the Application, Applicant has used the mark in
commerce.
In sum, Applicants Mark creates a distinct commercial impression, is applied to distinct
goods, and is easily distinguished by consumers from the more common phrasing of the cited
mark. Applicants Mark should therefore proceed to registration.
W
On October 30, 2014, Applicant applied to register the trademark SAFEDATE in Class 9
for:
Downloadable software in the nature of a web based and mobile application for
use in performing background checks about potential dating partners and
providing secure communication, including videochat and voicechat functions.
(Applicants Mark). On February 27, 2015, the Examiner refused registration of Applicants
Mark, contending that it is confusingly similar to the mark in DATESAFE, Registration No.
2990505 (the Registered Mark). Applicant respectfully submits that there is in fact no
likelihood of confusion between DATESAFE and the Applicants Mark, and asks that
registration be allowed.
LEGAL STANDARD
Refusal to register a mark under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act is appropriate only if
the mark so resembles a previously registered mark as to be likely, when used on or in
connection with the goods of the applicant, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to
deceive as to the source or sponsorship of the goods or services. 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d); see also
T.M.E.P. § 1207.01. In evaluating likelihood of confusion, the following factors must be
considered when the record contains evidence relating to them: (1) the similarity or
dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and commercial
impression; (2) the similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in
an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use; (3) the similarity
or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels; (4) the conditions under which
and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. impulse vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing; (5) the
fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use); (6) the number and nature of similar
marks in use on similar goods; (7) the nature and extent of any actual confusion; (8) the length of
time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent use without evidence of actual
confusion; (9) the variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used; (10) the market interface
between applicant and the owner of the prior mark; (1 1) the extent to which applicant has a right
to exclude others from use of its mark on its goods; (12) the extent of potential confusion, i.e.,
whether de minimis or substantial; and (13) any other established fact probative of the effect of
use. In re E.I. DuPont DeNemours & C0., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. 1973).
In assessing the likelihood of confusion between two marks whose primary difference is
the transposition of elements, the key question is whether the transposition creates a distinctly
different commercial impression. T.M.E.P. § l207.01(b)(vii). Where a transposition evokes a
distinct commercial impression, con?ision is not likely. Id.
In this case, the Examining Attorney correctly identi?ed the similarity of the marks and
the similarity of the goods and services as key factors. However, other factors are also crucial to
understanding the distinction between Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark. These include
the conditions under which consumers purchase the goods and services, and the number and
nature of similar marks to the Registered Mark.
ARGUMENT
I. SAFEDATE Creates A Distinct Commercial Impression From DATESAFE.
In reviewing the marks SAFEDATE and DATESAF E, the Examining Attorney relied on
the fact that the Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark are the same words transposed, and
concluded that the marks create a highly similar commercial impression, because [c]onsumers
will interpret both marks as suggesting that the goods and services allow the user to date safely.
In fact, however, this is a case in which the reversal of terms conveys a distinctly different
commercial impression. See T.M.E.P. § 1207.01(b)(vii) (stating that confusion is not likely
where the transposition creates a distinctly different commercial impression). Speci?cally, by
avoiding the more common and natural order of terms date safe Applicants Mark puts the
focus on the security of its web-based application, and suggests to the consumer that its goods
will provide both a secure way to interact with potential partner, and the peace of mind of
knowing that the potential partner is in fact who he or she says.
As an initial matter, the ?rst portion of each mark is generally the dominant element in a
mark, and is the most likely to be impressed upon the mind of a purchaser and remembered.
Presto Prods. Inc. v. Nice-Pak Prods. Inc., 9 U.S.P.Q.2d 1895 (T.T.A.B. 1988). Unlike the
Registered Mark, which suggests simply that the private investigation services offered by
Registrant will allow the consumer to date safely, Applicants use of SAFE as the dominant
element in its mark conveys a distinct focus on the security of its goods a web application.
Speci?cally, Applicants emphasis on SAFE suggests two aspects of the goods: ?rst, that those
who use the application will have a safe dating experience; second, that the application itself
provides a secure means by which to connect with potential dating partners. Using SAFE as the
dominant element in the mark emphasizes this focus, and informs the consumer of the purpose of
the goods. On the other hand, the use of DATE as the dominant portion of the Registered Mark
for the Registrants services suggests only that the service will allow the consumer to date safely,
which is a different and therefore distinct message and commercial impression.
Second, this is a case in which the transposition of terms, when applied to the speci?c
goods and services at issue, projects a different meaning. See In re Sears, Roebuck & Co., 2,
U.S.P.Q.2d 1312 (T.T.A.B. 1987). In Sears, the Board concluded that the mark CROSS-OVER
applied to brassieres was not likely to be confused with CROSSOVER applied to ladies
sportswear. The Board reasoned that CROSS-OVER for brassieres suggested the construction of
the bras, while CROSSOVER conveyed no such meaning. So too here. The dominant element in
SAFEDATE is suggestive of a feature of the goodssecure communicationin addition to
conveying that use of the application will result in a safe dating experience. DATESAFE does
not convey such a double entendre meaning (and cannot, given that the Registered Mark is for
[p]rivate investigation services, rather than an interactive web application).
In short, Applicants Mark, far from creating a highly similar commercial impression to
the Registered Mark, in fact creates a distinctly different commercial impression. By using
SAFE as the dominant element of the mark, Applicant suggests the security of the web
application and communication platform, as well as the safety of the interactions that take place
through it. The Registered Mark does not create that impression. Moreover, Applicants mark,
when applied to its services, has a different meaning from that conveyed by the Registered Mark.
Accordingly, Applicants Mark is not likely to be confused with the Registered Mark, and
Applicants Mark should proceed to registration.
II. The Applied-For Services Are Distinct From the DATESAFE Services.
The Examining Attorney concluded that the goods and services are closely related, thus
resulting in a likelihood that consumers would be confused. Applicant respectfully disagrees.
To the extent the Examining Attorney relied on the fact that Applicants goods and
Registrants services are broadly directed to the dating community, that is not a suf?cient
ground for concluding that the goods and services are related. See In re White Rock Distilleries
Inc., 92 U.S.P.Q.2d 1282 (T.T.A.B. 2009) (holding that although wine and caffeine-in?ised
vodka were both broadly directed to persons of legal drinking age, there was no evidence that
the goods typically emanate from a single source under a single mark). Rather, the question is
whether relevant members of the consuming public would believe that the two products
emanate from a single source. Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel, Ltd, 393 F.3d 1238, 1245 (Fed. Cir.
2004) (holding gloves and barbeque mitts are not related services). Here, that is unlikely.
Applicant applies its Mark solely to Class 9 goods downloadable software in the nature
of a web based and mobile application. True to the description in the application, Applicants
goods allow a user to interactively verify his or her own background (to convey to potential
dating partners that he or she is who he or she says) or the background of potential dating
partners. The SAFEDATE application further allows potential dating partners to engage in
secure communication with one another, including through the use of secure video and voice
chat. The result is an integrated and innovative platform for consumers to safely and securely
interact with potential dating partners, while at the same time having the peace of mind that
comes with having verified the potential partners identity and background.
In stark contrast, the Registered Mark is registered solely in Class 45 for traditional
[p]rivate investigation services; background investigation services, namely, background check,
screening, and personal veri?cation services. Unlike an integrated online communication
platform, traditional background check services involve simply the consumers selection of a
target to investigate and the performance of an investigation by the Registrant. Thus, rather than
an interactive process, the services described in the Registration involve only one party to the
potential dating relationship. To the extent it is appropriate to consider the evidence attached to
the Of?ce Action, as well as Registrants actual use, that evidence makes clear that Registrants
services function in the traditional manner described in the Registration. Registrants website
offers an order form requesting Subject Information And the levels of service demonstrate that
the packages are geared toward the one-sided nature of a traditional background checka
consumer is not likely to want a potential dating partner to discover that he has ordered a Gold
Diggers Package to investigate her. (See Exhibit B, Website and Order Form (both websites
visited August 21, 2015).)
Thus, this case involves the comparison between an interactive, integrated platform for
potential dating partners to verify identities and securely communicate with one another, and the
traditional private investigation services offered by Registrant. Given the distinct needs met by
each, as described above, in this context no reasonable person would mistakenly ?nd a product
in the course of looking for a service; neither is the reverse possible. In re Best Prods. Co. 231
U.S.P.Q. 988 (T.T.A.B. 1986) (?nding no likelihood of confusion between BEST JEWELRY for
jewelry store services and JEWELERS BEST for bracelets). Consumers looking for an
interactive product with which to communicate with potential dating partners will not go looking
for traditional background investigation services, nor will someone interested in traditional
background check services be satis?ed with an interactive application. The Examining Attorney
has not provided any evidence to the contrary. See In re Coors Brewing Co., 343 F.3d 1340,
1346 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (?nding no likelihood of confusion between BLUE MOON for beer and
BLUE MOON for restaurant services where Examining Attorney provided insuf?cient evidence
that consumers viewed such goods and services as typically offered under similar marks).
III. Other Factors Support The Conclusion That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion.
Although the Examining Attorney did not consider the remainder of the DuPont factors,
two are particularly pertinent here, and support the registrability of Applicants Mark: the care
with which consumers of online dating goods and services act, and the number and nature of
similar marks in use on similar goods and services. Application ofE1. DuPont DeNemours &
Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. 1973). Speci?cally, consumers of online goods and services
related to dating must sort through a crowded ?eld, and are thus likely to distinguish one website
from another with particular care. Moreover, many of these sites use the word Date as part of
their name, which further conditions the consumer to look to the existence and placement of
other elements of the mark to distinguish between otherwise similar-looking marks.
There can be no doubt that the online dating market is crowded. By one estimate, from an
industry publication, there are approximately 2,500 online dating sites in the United States and
more than 5,000 online dating services worldwide. a :2 Of these, countless include the word date
as a portion of their name. A non-exhaustive list would include:
date.com
speeddate.com
dateamillionaire.com
datemyschool.com
dateacougar.com
jdate.com
asiandatc.com
christiandate.com
(See Exhibits C through J, Screenshots of Third-Party Websites (all websites visited on August
21, 2015).) Beyond this, countless third-party registrations use DATE as a portion of a mark for
goods or services directed at the dating community. Indeed, use of DATE in connection with
background investigation services is also quite common, with at least six third-party registrations
in addition to the DATESAFE mark, and two other marks with Notices of Allowance. (See
Exhibits K through R, Copies of Third-Party Registrations and Notices of Allowance.) Indeed,
http://www.onlinedatingmaggzine.com/fag/howmanyon|inedatingsitesaretherehtml
(visited August 21, 2015.
DATESAFE for background investigation services has coexisted on the Principal Register and in
the marketplace with DATESMART for personal veri?cation services for almost a decade. (See
Exhibit S, DateSmart Website (visited August 21, 2015).)
This evidence of actual third-party use and multiple third-party registrations demonstrates
that consumers have been exposed to many dating-related services, including background
investigation services, that use a mark containing the element DATE as a source identi?er.
Accordingly, consumers will carefully distinguish between otherwise similar marks, and are
unlikely to be confused by the similarities between Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark.
See In re Hartz Hotel Servs., 102 U.S.P.Q.2d 1150 (T.T.A.B. 2012) (accepting website and third-
party registration evidence as indicating that consumers could distinguish between different
GRAND HOTEL marks based on small differences in the marks).

CONCLUSION
In light of the foregoing authority, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining
Attorney withdraw her refusal to register Applicants Mark on likelihood of confusion grounds.
Under the circumstances, the transposition of terms creates a distinct commercial impression and
makes confusion unlikely. Just as importantly, Applicants Class 9 web-based application is
distinct from the Class 45 services provided under the Registered Mark, and consumers looking
for one are unlikely to ?nd the other, or think that the two emanate from a single source. Finally,
even if consumers in the broad dating community were to encounter both marks, they will
have been conditioned to understand that in the crowded ?eld of online dating goods and
services, they must distinguish between somewhat similar marks, particularly those that include
the word DATE. Accordingly, there is no likelihood of confusion and the SAFEDATE mark
should proceed to registration.

RESPONSE TO OFFICE ACTION
COMMUNICATION
This responds to the Of?ce Action issued February 27, 2015 in connection with
Application Serial No. 76/717,138 (the Applica??.
PRELIMINARY STATEMENT
Applicant Safedate, LLC (Applicant) offers downloadable software in the nature of a
web platform that allows potential dating partners to communicate securely and anonymously
with one another and through background veri?cation to know that the person on the other
end of the conversation is who he or she says. This platform solves two problems that are
ubiquitous in online dating: ?rst, ensuring that a potential dating partner has not misrepresented
him or herself, or some part of his or her background; and second, giving potential dating
partners a way to securely and anonymously communicate with one another, while disclosing
only as much information as they wish to share. As such, the application, marketed under the
SAFEDATE mark, is The Bridge Between Dating Online and Meeting in Person.1
(See Exhibit A, SafeDate screenshots (website visited August 21, 2015).) In conjunction
with this Response, Applicant is amending its application to an intent-to-use ?ling basis
In contrast to the integrated and innovative SAFEDATE application, the services
provided under the DATESAFE mark are conventional background investigation services, and
consumers are not likely to confuse the two.
The Examining Attomeys refusal should be withdrawn for at least three reasons. First,
Applicants choice to use SAFE as the dominant portion of its mark creates a distinctly different
commercial impression from the more commonly phrased DATESAFE. Emphasizing the SAFE
element places the focus on security, suggesting both the secure nature of a SAFEDATE users
communications with potential dating partners and the peace of mind associated with being able
to verify the identity of the person with whom one is interacting online, as well as the security
that goes along with meeting through a software application before meeting in person.
Second, Applicants goods are distinct from the services provided under the cited mark.
Consumers looking for the interactive, secure experience provided by Applicants software are
not likely to go looking for the traditional private investigation services marketed by
DATESAFE. The Of?ce Action does not provide any evidence to the contrary.
Third, the word DATE is ubiquitous in the online dating world, as evidenced by third-
party registrations, and is also common in the world of background investigation services.
Accordingly, to the extent Applicants Mark bears some similarity to the cited mark, consumers
have been conditioned to distinguish between marks such as the ones involved here, and would
not be confused by the transposition of terms.
under Section 1(b). Since the ?ling of the Application, Applicant has used the mark in
commerce.
In sum, Applicants Mark creates a distinct commercial impression, is applied to distinct
goods, and is easily distinguished by consumers from the more common phrasing of the cited
mark. Applicants Mark should therefore proceed to registration.
W
On October 30, 2014, Applicant applied to register the trademark SAFEDATE in Class 9
for:
Downloadable software in the nature of a web based and mobile application for
use in performing background checks about potential dating partners and
providing secure communication, including videochat and voicechat functions.
(Applicants Mark). On February 27, 2015, the Examiner refused registration of Applicants
Mark, contending that it is confusingly similar to the mark in DATESAFE, Registration No.
2990505 (the Registered Mark). Applicant respectfully submits that there is in fact no
likelihood of confusion between DATESAFE and the Applicants Mark, and asks that
registration be allowed.
LEGAL STANDARD
Refusal to register a mark under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act is appropriate only if
the mark so resembles a previously registered mark as to be likely, when used on or in
connection with the goods of the applicant, to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to
deceive as to the source or sponsorship of the goods or services. 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d); see also
T.M.E.P. § 1207.01. In evaluating likelihood of confusion, the following factors must be
considered when the record contains evidence relating to them: (1) the similarity or
dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and commercial
impression; (2) the similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in
an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use; (3) the similarity
or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels; (4) the conditions under which
and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. impulse vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing; (5) the
fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use); (6) the number and nature of similar
marks in use on similar goods; (7) the nature and extent of any actual confusion; (8) the length of
time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent use without evidence of actual
confusion; (9) the variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used; (10) the market interface
between applicant and the owner of the prior mark; (1 1) the extent to which applicant has a right
to exclude others from use of its mark on its goods; (12) the extent of potential confusion, i.e.,
whether de minimis or substantial; and (13) any other established fact probative of the effect of
use. In re E.I. DuPont DeNemours & C0., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. 1973).
In assessing the likelihood of confusion between two marks whose primary difference is
the transposition of elements, the key question is whether the transposition creates a distinctly
different commercial impression. T.M.E.P. § l207.01(b)(vii). Where a transposition evokes a
distinct commercial impression, con?ision is not likely. Id.
In this case, the Examining Attorney correctly identi?ed the similarity of the marks and
the similarity of the goods and services as key factors. However, other factors are also crucial to
understanding the distinction between Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark. These include
the conditions under which consumers purchase the goods and services, and the number and
nature of similar marks to the Registered Mark.
ARGUMENT
I. SAFEDATE Creates A Distinct Commercial Impression From DATESAFE.
In reviewing the marks SAFEDATE and DATESAF E, the Examining Attorney relied on
the fact that the Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark are the same words transposed, and
concluded that the marks create a highly similar commercial impression, because [c]onsumers
will interpret both marks as suggesting that the goods and services allow the user to date safely.
In fact, however, this is a case in which the reversal of terms conveys a distinctly different
commercial impression. See T.M.E.P. § 1207.01(b)(vii) (stating that confusion is not likely
where the transposition creates a distinctly different commercial impression). Speci?cally, by
avoiding the more common and natural order of terms date safe Applicants Mark puts the
focus on the security of its web-based application, and suggests to the consumer that its goods
will provide both a secure way to interact with potential partner, and the peace of mind of
knowing that the potential partner is in fact who he or she says.
As an initial matter, the ?rst portion of each mark is generally the dominant element in a
mark, and is the most likely to be impressed upon the mind of a purchaser and remembered.
Presto Prods. Inc. v. Nice-Pak Prods. Inc., 9 U.S.P.Q.2d 1895 (T.T.A.B. 1988). Unlike the
Registered Mark, which suggests simply that the private investigation services offered by
Registrant will allow the consumer to date safely, Applicants use of SAFE as the dominant
element in its mark conveys a distinct focus on the security of its goods a web application.
Speci?cally, Applicants emphasis on SAFE suggests two aspects of the goods: ?rst, that those
who use the application will have a safe dating experience; second, that the application itself
provides a secure means by which to connect with potential dating partners. Using SAFE as the
dominant element in the mark emphasizes this focus, and informs the consumer of the purpose of
the goods. On the other hand, the use of DATE as the dominant portion of the Registered Mark
for the Registrants services suggests only that the service will allow the consumer to date safely,
which is a different and therefore distinct message and commercial impression.
Second, this is a case in which the transposition of terms, when applied to the speci?c
goods and services at issue, projects a different meaning. See In re Sears, Roebuck & Co., 2,
U.S.P.Q.2d 1312 (T.T.A.B. 1987). In Sears, the Board concluded that the mark CROSS-OVER
applied to brassieres was not likely to be confused with CROSSOVER applied to ladies
sportswear. The Board reasoned that CROSS-OVER for brassieres suggested the construction of
the bras, while CROSSOVER conveyed no such meaning. So too here. The dominant element in
SAFEDATE is suggestive of a feature of the goodssecure communicationin addition to
conveying that use of the application will result in a safe dating experience. DATESAFE does
not convey such a double entendre meaning (and cannot, given that the Registered Mark is for
[p]rivate investigation services, rather than an interactive web application).
In short, Applicants Mark, far from creating a highly similar commercial impression to
the Registered Mark, in fact creates a distinctly different commercial impression. By using
SAFE as the dominant element of the mark, Applicant suggests the security of the web
application and communication platform, as well as the safety of the interactions that take place
through it. The Registered Mark does not create that impression. Moreover, Applicants mark,
when applied to its services, has a different meaning from that conveyed by the Registered Mark.
Accordingly, Applicants Mark is not likely to be confused with the Registered Mark, and
Applicants Mark should proceed to registration.
II. The Applied-For Services Are Distinct From the DATESAFE Services.
The Examining Attorney concluded that the goods and services are closely related, thus
resulting in a likelihood that consumers would be confused. Applicant respectfully disagrees.
To the extent the Examining Attorney relied on the fact that Applicants goods and
Registrants services are broadly directed to the dating community, that is not a suf?cient
ground for concluding that the goods and services are related. See In re White Rock Distilleries
Inc., 92 U.S.P.Q.2d 1282 (T.T.A.B. 2009) (holding that although wine and caffeine-in?ised
vodka were both broadly directed to persons of legal drinking age, there was no evidence that
the goods typically emanate from a single source under a single mark). Rather, the question is
whether relevant members of the consuming public would believe that the two products
emanate from a single source. Shen Mfg. Co. v. Ritz Hotel, Ltd, 393 F.3d 1238, 1245 (Fed. Cir.
2004) (holding gloves and barbeque mitts are not related services). Here, that is unlikely.
Applicant applies its Mark solely to Class 9 goods downloadable software in the nature
of a web based and mobile application. True to the description in the application, Applicants
goods allow a user to interactively verify his or her own background (to convey to potential
dating partners that he or she is who he or she says) or the background of potential dating
partners. The SAFEDATE application further allows potential dating partners to engage in
secure communication with one another, including through the use of secure video and voice
chat. The result is an integrated and innovative platform for consumers to safely and securely
interact with potential dating partners, while at the same time having the peace of mind that
comes with having verified the potential partners identity and background.
In stark contrast, the Registered Mark is registered solely in Class 45 for traditional
[p]rivate investigation services; background investigation services, namely, background check,
screening, and personal veri?cation services. Unlike an integrated online communication
platform, traditional background check services involve simply the consumers selection of a
target to investigate and the performance of an investigation by the Registrant. Thus, rather than
an interactive process, the services described in the Registration involve only one party to the
potential dating relationship. To the extent it is appropriate to consider the evidence attached to
the Of?ce Action, as well as Registrants actual use, that evidence makes clear that Registrants
services function in the traditional manner described in the Registration. Registrants website
offers an order form requesting Subject Information And the levels of service demonstrate that
the packages are geared toward the one-sided nature of a traditional background checka
consumer is not likely to want a potential dating partner to discover that he has ordered a Gold
Diggers Package to investigate her. (See Exhibit B, Website and Order Form (both websites
visited August 21, 2015).)
Thus, this case involves the comparison between an interactive, integrated platform for
potential dating partners to verify identities and securely communicate with one another, and the
traditional private investigation services offered by Registrant. Given the distinct needs met by
each, as described above, in this context no reasonable person would mistakenly ?nd a product
in the course of looking for a service; neither is the reverse possible. In re Best Prods. Co. 231
U.S.P.Q. 988 (T.T.A.B. 1986) (?nding no likelihood of confusion between BEST JEWELRY for
jewelry store services and JEWELERS BEST for bracelets). Consumers looking for an
interactive product with which to communicate with potential dating partners will not go looking
for traditional background investigation services, nor will someone interested in traditional
background check services be satis?ed with an interactive application. The Examining Attorney
has not provided any evidence to the contrary. See In re Coors Brewing Co., 343 F.3d 1340,
1346 (Fed. Cir. 2003) (?nding no likelihood of confusion between BLUE MOON for beer and
BLUE MOON for restaurant services where Examining Attorney provided insuf?cient evidence
that consumers viewed such goods and services as typically offered under similar marks).
III. Other Factors Support The Conclusion That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion.
Although the Examining Attorney did not consider the remainder of the DuPont factors,
two are particularly pertinent here, and support the registrability of Applicants Mark: the care
with which consumers of online dating goods and services act, and the number and nature of
similar marks in use on similar goods and services. Application ofE1. DuPont DeNemours &
Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361 (C.C.P.A. 1973). Speci?cally, consumers of online goods and services
related to dating must sort through a crowded ?eld, and are thus likely to distinguish one website
from another with particular care. Moreover, many of these sites use the word Date as part of
their name, which further conditions the consumer to look to the existence and placement of
other elements of the mark to distinguish between otherwise similar-looking marks.
There can be no doubt that the online dating market is crowded. By one estimate, from an
industry publication, there are approximately 2,500 online dating sites in the United States and
more than 5,000 online dating services worldwide. a :2 Of these, countless include the word date
as a portion of their name. A non-exhaustive list would include:
date.com
speeddate.com
dateamillionaire.com
datemyschool.com
dateacougar.com
jdate.com
asiandatc.com
christiandate.com
(See Exhibits C through J, Screenshots of Third-Party Websites (all websites visited on August
21, 2015).) Beyond this, countless third-party registrations use DATE as a portion of a mark for
goods or services directed at the dating community. Indeed, use of DATE in connection with
background investigation services is also quite common, with at least six third-party registrations
in addition to the DATESAFE mark, and two other marks with Notices of Allowance. (See
Exhibits K through R, Copies of Third-Party Registrations and Notices of Allowance.) Indeed,
http://www.onlinedatingmaggzine.com/fag/howmanyon|inedatingsitesaretherehtml
(visited August 21, 2015.
DATESAFE for background investigation services has coexisted on the Principal Register and in
the marketplace with DATESMART for personal veri?cation services for almost a decade. (See
Exhibit S, DateSmart Website (visited August 21, 2015).)
This evidence of actual third-party use and multiple third-party registrations demonstrates
that consumers have been exposed to many dating-related services, including background
investigation services, that use a mark containing the element DATE as a source identi?er.
Accordingly, consumers will carefully distinguish between otherwise similar marks, and are
unlikely to be confused by the similarities between Applicants Mark and the Registered Mark.
See In re Hartz Hotel Servs., 102 U.S.P.Q.2d 1150 (T.T.A.B. 2012) (accepting website and third-
party registration evidence as indicating that consumers could distinguish between different
GRAND HOTEL marks based on small differences in the marks).

CONCLUSION
In light of the foregoing authority, Applicant respectfully requests that the Examining
Attorney withdraw her refusal to register Applicants Mark on likelihood of confusion grounds.
Under the circumstances, the transposition of terms creates a distinct commercial impression and
makes confusion unlikely. Just as importantly, Applicants Class 9 web-based application is
distinct from the Class 45 services provided under the Registered Mark, and consumers looking
for one are unlikely to ?nd the other, or think that the two emanate from a single source. Finally,
even if consumers in the broad dating community were to encounter both marks, they will
have been conditioned to understand that in the crowded ?eld of online dating goods and
services, they must distinguish between somewhat similar marks, particularly those that include
the word DATE. Accordingly, there is no likelihood of confusion and the SAFEDATE mark
should proceed to registration.
