We were able to overcome the refusal by stating that the prior registrant was a franchisee of the junior applicant. It's not quite the same but the theory might be the same, they are both under the control of the licensor.<br>

<p class="MsoNormal">Got a refusal with an interesting twist. Here\u2019s the scenario: celebrity (let\u2019s say Taylor Swift) gives permission to an entity to use her name for, say wine, that entity registers WINE BY TAYLOR SWIFT. Then she gives permission to a different
entity to use her name in connection with beer. USPTO issues a refusal for BEER BY TAYLOR SWIFT based on prior wine registration. Ownership issues aside, can you argue \u201cunity of control\u201d if Taylor is, in fact exercising quality control over both products
even though they are manufactured by different entities? The TMEP sections on unity of control don\u2019t seem to address this issue.<o:p></o:p></p>
