Denial of Application for Recordation of Trade Name: ``WINFING''

ACTION: Denial of Application for Recordation of Trade Name, DOT.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

SUMMARY: By notice published in the Federal Register dated June 27, 
1997, application was filed pursuant to section 133.12, Customs 
Regulations (19 CFR 133.12), for the recordation under section 42 of 
the Act of July 5, 1946, as amended (15 U.S.C. 1124), of the trade name 
``WINFING,'' used by PrintScan International, Inc., a corporation 
organized under the laws of the State of New Jersey, located at 1432 
Drum Hill Road, Martinsville, New Jersey 08836.
    The application states that the alleged trade name is used in 
connection with a demonstration and evaluation software. Its main 
purpose is to give an insight into the internal working mechanism of 
the PrintScan core library and to demonstrate the performance of the 
fingerprint analysis procedure.
    Before final action was taken on the application, consideration was 
given to any relevant data, views, or arguments submitted in writing by 
any person in opposition to the recordation of this alleged trade name. 
No comments were received relative to this application.
    Customs has completed its review of this matter and has determined 
that the word ``Winfing'' is not used as a trade name, but rather, in a 
trademark sense with demonstration and evaluation software. 
Accordingly, the application is denied.

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: George F. McCray, Esq., Intellectual 
Property Rights Branch, 1300 Pennsylvania Avenue, N.W., Washington, 
D.C. 20229 (202-927-2330).
