These are some of the laws that the USPTO adheres to when going through your trademark application. Note: Although Moco de Gorila is the registered trademark, in English, it means Gorilla Snot.The USPTO uses the Doctrine of Foreign Equivalents which means that if it translates to a similar registered trademark or pending trademark application, it can still be confusingly similar.įirst, I am going to lay out the definitions of confusingly similar that we get through case law. Is there a similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression when looking at Gorilla Glue and Gorilla Snot Gel (Moco de Gorila). In this blog post, we are only going to analyze the first two factors (similarity and dissimiliarity of the marks and the relatedness of goods/services). The first two are heavily weighted, and the rest are considered in a likelihood of confusion determination, if there is evidence in the record. The existence of a valid consent agreement between the applicant and the owner of the previously registered mark.The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar good.The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e., “impulse” vs.Thee similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels.

The relatedness of the goods or services.The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression.The duPont factors are as follows (as cited in TMEP 1207.01): These are called the duPont factors, which were first listed in I n re E.I. When looking for likelihood of confusion, the USPTO looks at many factors when deciding whether or not this would be an issue among consumers. If you’ve ever thought about registering a trademark, likelihood of confusion is one of the analyses that a USPTO trademark examiner goes through to determine whether or not to register a trademark. And I decided to do my own analysis on whether there is confusion between the two trademarks. When hearing about this, my trademark attorney ears perked. Many indicated that she thought it was the same as the hair gel, Gorilla Snot. See my Disclosure page for additional information.Unless you’re living under a rock, you’ve heard about the story of the young lady who put Gorilla Glue in her hair. It can be found online and in select Target stores $2.69 The product(s) in this post was purchased with my own my sisters money. I haven’t had any issues with drying using the Gorilla Snot on my edges, but I wouldn’t use it on my entire head without applying a really good leave-in conditioner first. The only negative thing is that alcohol is the third ingredient and alcohol can dry out the hair.

This is the best edge control that I’ve tried so far. At night I rinse it off with water when I wash my face to avoid build up, and reapply the next day. The Gorilla Snot Gel provides the look and hold that I want and stays put without flaking. I like a very subtle look when it comes down to gelled edges, nothing too dramatic or all down the sides of my face like my old JHS days. Once dry, my edges stay in place all day. I wet my edges and lay them down with a toothbrush (designated for my hair), then I apply a small amount of the Gorilla Snot and brush it in. Straight on sleek like my old relaxed edges. I decided to try the Gorilla Snot Gel on my uncooperative edges and when I say my 4c edges were laid, girllll they were laid. The jar makes it easy for me to dab my finger in and get a small amount, but it’s also available in a squeeze tube which is easier for dispensing larger amounts. The name (albeit a bit disgusting) is very befitting as the gel has a very sticky, snot like texture. This review is for PUNK which is described as indestructible and has a hold of 10, which is the strongest. It comes in different formulations, each with a different level of holding power. Gorilla Snot or Moco de Gorilla is a hair styling gel with extraordinary hold, formulated for anti-gravitational hairstyles like mohawks.

They even had my momma sold so I had to try it out for myself, and had them go and pick me up a jar. I’ve been living under a rock because I had never heard of Gorilla Snot Gel until this past weekend when my little sisters were raving about it.
