Say Goodbye To CCR and Hello To SAM
Client Alert | 1 min read | 05.21.12
According to a post on Central Contractor Registration's website, "On May 29, 2012, the Central Contractor Registration (CCR) system is going away. CCR, along with Federal Agency Registration (FedReg), the Online Representations and Certifications Application (ORCA), and the Excluded Parties List System (EPLS), will be migrated into the new System for Award Management, or SAM." While some details about this transition to SAM are currently available, the government is planning on providing additional information and training materials soon, and contractors should follow these developments closely because the government is reporting that CCR will stop accepting data at 11:59 pm on Wednesday, May 23, 2012, and no new registrations or updates can be submitted via CCR after that time.

Are All Baby Products Related? TTAB Says “No”
The United States Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB or Board) recently issued a refreshed opinion in the trademark dispute Naterra International, Inc. v. Samah Bensalem, where Naterra International, Inc. petitioned the TTAB to cancel Samah Bensalem’s registration for the mark BABIES' MAGIC TEA based on its own BABY MAGIC mark. On remand from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, the TTAB reconsidered an expert’s opinion about relatedness of goods based on the concept of “umbrella branding” and found that the goods are unrelated and therefore again denied the petition for cancellation.
