• holding that “Wet Ones” is suggestive and stating: ‘Wet Ones, like Wite-Out, could plausibly describe a wide variety of products.”
• concluding that district court correctly found “Wet Ones” to be a suggestive mark for pre-moistened towelettes
• noting that “consumers cannot be expected to invest much time or effort in distinguishing among inexpensive bath tissues”
• noting that the confusion of an internet search engine in distinguishing between similar marks did not amount to consumer confusion
• concluding that “moist” and “wet” were dissimilar despite being “almost synonymous”
• holding “Wet Ones” was a suggestive mark because, “without more, [the mark] does not itself conjure up the image of a towelette”
