The document is a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board regarding Opryland USA Inc.'s application to register the mark 'MUSIC CITY EVENTS' for catering services. The Examining Attorney initially refused registration due to potential confusion with the registered mark 'MUSIC CITY ROADHOUSE' for restaurant services. The Board ultimately reversed the refusal, concluding that the differences in the marks and services were significant enough to avoid confusion among consumers. The dissenting opinion argued that confusion was likely due to similarities in the marks and related nature of the services.
