The TTAB says the record indicates that the cameras DON'T provide real-time streaming, and it therefore reverses the "descriptive" refusal. The goods were described in the application as "game scouting cameras." Presumably such cameras might or might not provide real time ("live") streaming to a viewer. I believe it is suggestive since it requires some thought as to what the camera may be able to do! Isn't this the definition of suggestive while the definition of descriptive is that the mark immediately tells one what it does. Curious how the Board would have ruled had the Examiner included misdescriptiveness/deceptiveness as an additional ground for refusal. Seems like a dangerous argument to make but it worked for this Applicant. The use of LIVEVIEW may be believable and material to them. Presumably the type of consumer who purchases a "game scouting camera" knows and will not believe that it has any "live view" features.īut what about general camera consumers who know and understand what a "live view" camera feature is. I don't think there is any misdescriptiveness because the mark does not convey any concrete, hard fact a consumer would rely upon to decide to purchase the goods. How about a possible double-entendre with the word "live" (as in live animals)? I think the decision is reasonable, the mark is suggestive & the examiner was being a real refusenik stickler. Is it misdescriptive because the camera does not provide a "live view", as that term is understood? TTABlog note: Well, how did you do? Do you agree with the decision? Is the mark misdescriptive of the goods as identified in the application? Read comments and post your comment here. The Board concluded that a multi-stage reasoning process would be required to recognize that LIVEVIEW could refer to observing animals in their natural habit by means of a recorded image that is not really "live."Īnd so the Board reversed the refusal to register. The preview frame idea is incongruous vis-a-vis applicant's camera because the pictures are taken when the user is absent. The record showed, however, that the term "live view" usually refers to either the preview frame of a camera's LCD or the function of real time streaming of the "live view" from a camera. In other words, LIVEVIEW describes the fact that the user may VIEW the film that was shot LIVE of LIVE animals. She urged that the mark describes the function of the camera, i.e., to allow "the user to capture live images or views of actual, real live animals on film in their natural environment, and the images may be viewed, examined or inspected carefully at a later time.". The Examining Attorney, relying on dictionary definitions of the constituent words, contended that LIVEVIEW is merely descriptive because LIVE and VIEW are each descriptive of the goods, and their combination retains that descriptive significance.
