| Goods and Services | The College originally submitted the application under Class 41, which is educational and the College believes that the mark/logo is properly identified Service Mar, The mark "WE/ME" both identifies Paul Quinn College, and its institutional ethos. The mission of the College is to provide a quality, faith-based education that address the academic, social, and Christian development of students and prepares them to be servant leaders and agents of change in the global marketplace. The Institutional Ethos of the College, as set forth in its webpage is thus: "Our ethos is simple: WE Over Me. Forged through times of struggle and strife, our students make the world a better place by centering on this: The needs of the community supersede the wants of the individual". For this reason, the WE is over the Me in the Trademark/logo, It is distinctive both in its design and use of purple, the College's. Its institutional ethos and the concept behind the words "WE" and "ME" to stress that the individual student and Paul Quinn both help its students and graduates make the world a better place. In other words, Paul Quinn is dedicated in going beyond just the individual to a community, be it the other students, the College educational staff and the needs of the community over the wants of the individual (thus the WE/ME). It is used on the college web page, stationary, buildings and College vans. TThe College believes that the mark is unique and, as it is used and configured, does not result in any confusion, including the mark identified by the examiner. To begin with is the design. The We and the Me are not in any recognizable and universally used font. They are painted strokes, always uniquely recognized and always in purple. The We is always on top and the Me is always on the bottom. They are separated by a horizontal painted line, which is not a punctuation mark. There also is no confusion with the WE Me Program identified in the rejection letter. The WE ME Program is for consulting programs, not educational programs. It does not have the unqiue characteristic of design and color as does the Paul Quinn mark. The same is true of the We Me Limitied Liability Company of California |
