The document is a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board regarding Gast Manufacturing Corporation's application to register the mark 'SMART AIR' for air compressors and vacuum pumps. The initial refusal of registration was based on the claim that the mark was merely descriptive. However, after considering arguments from both the applicant and the Examining Attorney, the Board concluded that 'SMART AIR' is suggestive rather than descriptive, as it requires imagination to connect the term with the goods. Consequently, the refusal to register under Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act was reversed.

Got questions?

We have answers to the most popular questions from our customers. If you can't find an answer to your question, please contact us.

How to check a trademark status?

To access TSDR, enter a valid trademark serial number or registration number and select either the Status or Documents buttons. For average Trademark filing wait times, visit the Current wait times webpage. If you have questions about using TSDR, contact the Trademark Assistance Center.

Are trademarks public records?

Can I register a trademark anonymously? Not entirely - while you cant hide ownership from the USPTO, you can register the trademark under a business entity like an LLC. If that entity is formed in a privacy-friendly state, your personal identity can be shielded from public view.

How do I check if a U.S. patent is valid?

Everything you need to determine whether a patent is still in force is available on the USPTO website. You could also use Google Patents. Most patents will be viewable in text format, though for certain older patents you will only be able to view them by image, in PDF format.

Can you look up U.S. patent by number?

Basic search To start a quick lookup, enter a single patent or publication number and select the Search button.

Can you see who owns a trademark?

Yes. The public uses USPTO application and registration records to identify the owner of a trademark and their attorneys and representatives. This information is valuable to the public and is often used to perform a clearance search when another party is considering whether to use a mark.
