| Description of Mark | The mark consists of The mark consists of a stylized silhouette of a mountain nyala standing upright and facing left. Below the animal figure appears the word "WALIYA" in uppercase. Beneath the word "WALIYA" is the tagline " Signature Collection DESIGN WITH DEPTH. WORN WITH PRIDE.." in uppercase. The design elements are arranged vertically and centered, all in black against a white background. Re: Serial No. 99316734 (WALIYA SIGNATURE COLLECTION DESIGN WITH DEPTH WORN WITH PRIDE.) Applicant respectfully requests withdrawal of the Section 2(d) refusal based on U.S. Reg. No. 5869408 ("W WALIA"). There is no likelihood of confusion for the following reasons: 1. DISSIMILARITY IN APPEARANCE AND COMMERCIAL IMPRESSION: The Applicant's mark is a highly complex composite mark featuring a prominent, unique silhouette of a mountain nyala and extensive wording. This creates a specific "DESIGN WITH DEPTH WORN WITH PRIDE " commercial impression that is entirely absent from the cited mark. The cited mark is a simple, minimalist text-and-letter combination. 2. DIFFERENCES IN SIGHT AND SOUND: The Applicant's mark is spelled "WALIYA" (with a 'Y') and includes a long tagline that significantly alters the phonetic sound compared to the cited "WALIA." The visual length and graphical density of the Applicant's mark ensure that consumers will not mistake it for the shorter, simpler cited mark. 3. DISCRIMINATING CONSUMERS: The goods are sold to consumers who are likely to exercise a higher degree of care when purchasing "signature collection" and heritage-branded apparel. Such consumers are trained to distinguish between brands based on specific logo graphics (like the mountain nyala) rather than just a name. |
