The Board affirmed two Section 2(e)(1) refusals of the proposed
mark
CLEAR for footwear, lingerie, and other
clothing items, and for handbags, purses, wallets and related
items, all excluding transparent goods, finding the
term to be deceptively misdescriptive of the goods. The Board
observed that consumers are not aware of the nontransparent limitation in the application, and not
all purchases of Applicant Dolce Vita s goods are made after
direct inspection of the goods.

SAN FRANCISCO (AP) Jack Palladino, the flamboyant private investigator whose clients ranged from presidents and corporate whistleblowers to scandal-plagued celebrities, Hollywood moguls and sometimes suspected drug traffickers, died Monday at age 76.
Palladino suffered a devastating brain injury Thursday after a pair of would-be robbers tried to grab his camera outside his home in San Francisco’s Haight-Ashbury district.
He held on to the camera but fell and struck his head, and the photos he took before his attackers fled were used by police to track down two suspects. They were charged with assault with a deadly weapon and other crimes.
