United States Federal Circuit
In re Chippendales USA, Inc., 09-1370
In plaintiff's application seeking to register its Cuffs & Collar mark as inherently distinctive for "adult entertainment services, namely exotic dancing for women," in the nature of live performances, the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board's (Board) affirmance of the examining attorney's refusal to register the mark as inherently distinctive is affirmed as, the Board's determination that the Cuffs & Collar mark was not inherently distinctive is supported by substantial evidence, and plaintiff's additional arguments for setting aside the Board's decision are without merit.
