    Are you making a distinction between a space and no space? <br>
    <br>
    I'm not convinced by the argument that "pantyrose" is a play on
    words that is so apparent that it comes to mind to the purchaser
    when viewing the goods. If it was pantyhose that was in the shape of
    a rose, then yes, but not panties. It's just a compound word to me.<br>
    <br>
    One <a moz-do-not-send="true"
      href="https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/rose">definition</a>
    of "rose" is "something resembling a rose in form." There are paper
    roses, compass roses and rose windows. When we say [noun] rose, it
    is telling you that the object is in the shape of a rose. These are
    panties that are sold resembling a rose in form. I just don't know
    what else you could call them if you want to describe their packaged
    appearance. <br>
    <br>
    Today's <a moz-do-not-send="true"
href="https://thettablog.blogspot.com/2025/06/wyha-ttab-finds-docretention-merely.html">TTABlog</a>
    post has exactly the arguments why this use is descriptive - you
    have to look at the mark in the context of the goods; just because
    no one has used the term before doesn't mean it's not descriptive.
    This is just not one that I think is outrageously wrong, especially
    not compared to the whoppers we seem to be seeing more and more of.<br>

                  objection based on packaging?</font>
                <div> </div>
              </div>
              <div>I often disagree with Ed, but it usually goes the
                other way around - he supports the decision of the
                Office and I do not.<br>
                <br>
                In this case I think this is a perfectly reasonable
                descriptiveness refusal. I don't suppose your objection
                is that the refusal is only ascertainable by looking at
                the specimen - I expect that is why an SOU goes back to
                the examining attorney, for a second look. It would be
                very easy to game the system on descriptiveness if you
                could file an application and never disclose how the
                mark is used in context.<br>
                <br>
                I also think that the fact that the item is packaged to
                appear as a rose on a stem is a characteristic or
                feature of the product and therefore the refusal is
                appropriate. The panties are packaged that way that
                represents roses and the intention is that one use them
                in ways that one would traditionally use roses. I would
                consider this a feature of the product.<br>
