SWARTHMORE COLLEGE ) GARNET LONDON Petitioner, ) v ) Serial No. 85-875,940 LEE SHARK NY INC ) ® 4,519,049 Registrant. ) International Classes 18, 25

PETITION TO CANCEL

Swarthmore College, a Pennsylvania nonprofit corporation, with address 500 College Ave, Swarthmore PA 19081-1397, believes that it is being damaged by registration of GARNET LONDON, ® 4,519,049, because the Trademark Examiner has refused registration of Swarthmore’s GARNET application in Class 25 for clothing. Moreover, it appears Registrant obtained its registration by fraud on the Trademark Office, submitting false specimens of use. Furthermore, on information and belief, Registrant is not now using and has not for at least three years used a GARNET LONDON trademark in the ordinary course of trade.

Petitioner appoints as its attorneys in this proceeding Daniel L. Kegan and Jay R. Giusti, attorneys duly licensed by the Supreme Court of the State of Illinois, whose post office addresses are 79 W. Monroe St #1310, Chicago IL 60603-4931. All communications are to be held with lead attorney Daniel Kegan.

As grounds for cancellation proceeding, Petitioner alleges the following.

Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 1

1. Petitioner, Swarthmore College, was established in 1864, and has become known as a highly selective, leading private liberal arts college (Exhibit 1, ® 1,599,954; Exhibit 2, Wikipedia, Swarthmore College).

2. Swarthmore has been known as the source of its Swarthmore clothing since at least 1960 (Exhibit 3, ® 5,133,478).

3. Swarthmore has also been known by its sports nickname, GARNET, since at least 1889.

4. It is common for colleges and universities to be known by their nicknames (Exhibit 2, Wikipedia, Swarthmore, “Nickname: Garnet”; Exhibit 4, Nicknames of other colleges and universities).

5. A nickname well associated with an entity acquires secondary meaning and creates trademark rights (Volkswagenwerk Aktiengesellschaft v Rickard, 181 USPQ 611 (TTAB, 1974).

6. Swarthmore has used its nickname, GARNET for its educational and entertainment services since at least 1889, and for diverse types of clothing since at least 2009.

7. Swarthmore has applied to register its nickname GARNET in Class 25, Sn 87-086,274. The Trademark Examiner refused registration 11 October 2016, citing Lee Shark’s GARNET LONDON registration.

8. Registrant Lee Shark NY Inc, has informed the Trademark Office its address is 640 Crawford Ave, Brooklyn NY 11223, with email [email protected], website .

Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 2

9. Registrant is known, to the extent it might be known, as “a small organization in the business services industry located in Brooklyn, NY” with “2 employees” (Exhibit 5, FindTheCompany.com).

10. Registrant presents itself as a computer and information technology company (Exhibit 6, Lee Shark web home pages and services). If Lee Shark sells GARNET LONDON clothing and handbags, such cannot easily be found on the Internet.

Count I, Priority

11. Petitioner, Swarthmore College, has more than a century priority over registrant in use of GARNET.

12. Swarthmore has alumni, students, applicants, and colleagues throughout the United States.

13. Swarthmore has for decades played other schools in Pennsylvania and other states. Swarthmore is now affiliated with NCAA Division III and ECAC, in the Centennial Conference.

14. Swarthmore teams have been competing since the 1860s and have won eight national championships.

15. Registrant claimed first use of GARNET LONDON as of 5 November 2013.

16. Swarthmore has clear priority over Registrant.

Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 3

Count II, Fraudulent Use Statement

17. Registrant filed its Use Statement 6 January 2014.

18. Its only use specimen showing any clothing items is a photo of the top of a pair of pants (Exhibit 7, 6Jan2014, Specimen, Page 5).

19. The photo on the inside of the waistband displays a white rectangle with the words “Garnet London” and an asymmetric blue underline.

20. The “Garnet London” label appears to be a photo-edited addition to a photo of pants, it does not appear to be a label affixed to the pants.

21. The button in the photo displays a E21 logo; E21 appears to have no connection with Registrant.

22. On information and belief, the jeans photo used to obtain registration was not “used in commerce,” and was not a bona fide use of the mark in the ordinary course of trade, but was photographed merely to reserve a right in the mark.

23. On information and belief, Registrant's use specimen was a material misrepresentation made with the intent to deceive the Trademark Examiner in order to obtain a federal trademark registration.

Count III, Invalid Declarations

24. Applicant Lee Shark filed its trademark application 11 March 2013 with a Declaration allegedly signed by Naseer Almed, described as “Officer” (Exhibit 8, 14Mar2013, Application, Page 9). Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 4

25. Applicant Lee Shark filed its Use Statement 6 January 2014 with a Declaration allegedly signed by Naseer Ahmed, described as “Officer” (Exhibit 9, 6Jan2014, Specimen, Page 7).

26. The signatures of Naseer Ahmed in Exhibits 8 and 9 completely differ.

27. The signature of Naseer Ahmed in Exhibit 8 has a dotted “I”, there is no I in Naseer Ahmed.

28. On information and belief at least one of the two Declarations was not signed by Naseer Ahmed.

29. It is not unlikely that neither of the two Declarations was signed by Naseer Ahmed.

30. The signatory for a trademark application and the signatory for a use statement “must personally sign his or her own name. 37 CFR §§2..193(a)(1), (c)(1); TMEP §804.04.

31. “It is unacceptable for a person to sign another person’s name to a verification pursuant to a general power of attorney. See In re Cowan, 18 USPQ2d 1407, 1409 (Comm’r Pats. 1990).

32. That the Trademark Examiner might not notice an inconsistency in Declaration signatory does not relieve the Applicant from the duty to file proper application and use statement Declarations if the resulting registration is to be valid. TMEP §804.04 (“The USPTO presumes that the verification or declaration is properly signed.”)

Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 5

33. The generic description “officer” does not sufficiency describe the asserted signatory’s position with the applicant. Not all officers are authorized to sign for a corporation. Typical authorized corporate officers have titles such as “President,” or “Secretary.”

Count IV, Abandonment and Fraudulent Use Statements

34. On information and belief, given Registrant's apparent fraudulent use statements and specimens for its Class 25 application, Registrants specimens for its Class 18 goods were not "used in commerce" by Registrant as their source, and was not a bona fide use of the mark by Registrant (then Applicant) in the ordinary course of trade, but were photographed merely to reserve a right in the mark.

35. On information and belief, Registrant has not sold nor transported its registered Class 25 goods in Commerce for almost three years and has no objective intent to begin, or resume sales.

36. On information and belief, Registrant has not sold nor transported its registered Class 18 goods in Commerce for almost three years and has no objective intent to begin, or resume sales.

Conclusion

37. Petitioner believes and alleges that it has priority over Registrant to the use of GARNET and confusingly similar marks for clothing; that Registrant’s registration is void ab inito due to its fraudulent use specimen for clothing; that

Swarthmore College v Lee Shark NY Inc • GARNET LONDON ® 4,519,049 • Petition to Cancel • Page 6

Registrant’s registration is void ab initio due to the invalidity of its application Declaration and due to the invalidity of its Use Statement.

38. By reason of the foregoing facts, Petitioner will be irreparably damaged by Lee Shark’s junior and fraudulently obtained federal registration.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner, Swarthmore College, respectfully requests this petition be granted and the registration be cancelled.

5 April 2017 Respectfully submitted,

/Daniel L. Kegan/ [Kk Ref 116,011,399] Daniel L. Kegan, ext 21 KEGAN & KEGAN, LTD. 79 W. Monroe St. #1310 Chicago, IL 60603-4931 312-782-6495 Attorneys for Petitioner

History

The university was established as State College for Alameda County, with its primary mission to serve the higher education needs of both Alameda County and Contra Costa County. Its construction was part of the California Master Plan for Higher Education as proposed by Clark Kerr and the original site for the school was Pleasanton, California. The campus was moved to Hayward before plans were ﬁnalized due to the efforts of State Assembly member Carlos Bee and other boosters from the Hayward community, including S.E. Bond Jr, and E. Guy Warren, namesake of Warren Hall.[11] At the time of its opening in 1959, classes were ﬁrst held on the campus of Sunset Elementary School and then Hayward High School. With the addition of the school, higher education in the San Francisco Bay Area became more accessible. To the south was San Jose State College (now San Jose State University) serving the South Bay counties. To the west was San Francisco State College (now San Francisco State University) serving San Francisco and San Mateo Counties. To the north is Sonoma State University, serving Marin, Napa and Sonoma counties. Chabot College, a part of the California Community College system, opened nearby in Hayward in 1961.

The university has undergone numerous transitions in its history, making name changes accordingly. In 1961, the school was moved to its present location in the Hayward Hills and renamed Alameda County State College. In 1963, the name was changed to California State College at Hayward. The school was granted university status in 1972, changing its name to California State University, Hayward. In 2005, the university implemented a new, broader mission to serve the eastern San Francisco Bay Area and adopted the name California State University, East Bay. The proposal to rename the campus to California State University, East Bay was approved by the California State University Board of Trustees on January 26, 2005.[12]

Campus

California State University, East Bay's main campus is located in Hayward, California. It is situated on a plateau east of the Hayward fault overlooking the southeast part of the city.[13] CSUEB also has a campus in Concord, California in Contra Costa County, and a professional development center in Oakland.

History

Loyola was established as St. Ignatius College on June 30, 1870 by Jesuit priest and educator Fr. Arnold Damen.[9] At that time Chicago was a much smaller but rapidly growing city just shy of 300,000 people, and as a result the original campus was located much closer to the city center along Roosevelt Road. In 1909 the school was renamed Loyola University, and in 1912 it began the process of moving to the current Lake Shore Campus; today the original building is part of St. Ignatius College Prep, adjacent to the University of Illinois at Chicago.

To meet the growing needs of Chicago, Loyola established professional schools in law (1908), medicine (1909), business (1922), and nursing (1935). The Chicago College of Dental Surgery became part of the university in 1923, and was closed 70 years later. A downtown campus was founded in 1914, and with it the School of Sociology. As the predecessor to the Social of Social Work it enrolled Loyola's ﬁrst female Madonna della Strada Chapel students, though the school would not become fully coeducational until 1966. Loyola Academy, a college prep high school, occupied Dumbach Hall on the Lake Shore Campus until it was relocated to north suburban Wilmette in 1957.

History

The University of Michigan was established in Detroit on August 26, 1817[1] as the Catholepistemiad, or University of Michigania, by the governor and judges of Michigan Territory. Judge Augustus B. Woodward specifically invited The Rev. John Monteith and Father Gabriel Richard, a Catholic priest, to establish the institution. Monteith became its first President and held seven of the professorships, and Richard was Vice President and held the other six professorships. Concurrently, Ann Arbor had set aside 40 acres University of Michigan (1855) Jasper (16 ha) in the hopes of being selected as the state capital. But when Francis Cropsey Lansing was chosen as the state capital, the city offered the land for a university. What would become the university moved to Ann Arbor in 1837 thanks to Governor Stevens T. Mason. The original 40 acres (160,000 m2) was the basis of the present Central Campus.[10] The first classes in Ann Arbor were held in 1841, with six freshmen and a sophomore, taught by two professors. Eleven students graduated in the first commencement in 1845.[11]

In 1955, State .edu) Senator Mahlon Brown "sponsored the legislation to provide $200,000 to construct the campus's first building" - Frazier Hall.[6] Groundbreaking on the original 60-acre (24 ha) site was in April 1956, and the university purchased a 640-acre (260 ha) site in North Las Vegas for future expansion. UNLV was officially founded by the Nevada Board of Regents as the Southern Division of the University of Nevada on September 10, 1957. The first classes were held on the current campus in the post and beam Mid Century Modern Maude Frazier Hall designed by the local architectural firm, Zick & Sharp. Twenty-nine students graduated in the first commencement ceremonies in 1964.[7][8]

In 1965, the Nevada Legislature named the school Nevada Southern University, and the Board of Regents hired the campus's ﬁrst president, Donald C. Moyer.[9] who died in 2008 at the age of 88.[10]

In 1968, Nevada Southern was given equal status with its parent institution in Reno, and the present name was approved by the Regents in January 1969, during a winter session and without input by representatives from the University of Nevada, Reno . During this time Nevada Southern University also adopted the southern "Rebel" athletics moniker and a mascot dressed in a southern Confederate uniform named Beauregard. The popular reasoning behind such a controversial moniker and mascot is that they did it to oppose the northern Union traditions and symbols of their northern rival, the University of Nevada. It was not long, however, before protests from NSU/UNLV students forced a slight change to their Confederate mascot, but the "Rebels" moniker remains to this day. Since its founding, the university has grown rapidly, expanding both its academic programs and campus facilities.

In 1969, the Board of Regents approved the new name of University of Nevada at Las Vegas and the abbreviation UNLV.[8]

In 1973 Jerry Tarkanian was hired as the men's basketball coach by UNLV's second president, Roman Zorn.[11]

History

Colonial era: 1693–1776

A school of higher education for both Native American young men and the sons of the colonists was one of the earliest goals of the leaders of the Colony of Virginia. The College was founded on February 8, 1693, under a royal charter (legally, letters patent) to "make, found and establish a certain Place of Universal Study, a perpetual College of Divinity, Philosophy, Languages, and other good arts and sciences...to be supported and maintained, in all time coming."[12] Named in honor of the reigning monarchs King William III and Queen Mary II, the College is the second oldest college in the United States. The original plans for the College date back to 1618 but were thwarted by the Indian Massacre of 1622, a change in government (in 1624, the Virginia Company's charter was revoked by King James I and the Virginia Colony was transferred to royal authority as a crown colony), events related to the English Civil War, and Bacon's Rebellion. In 1695 before the town of Williamsburg existed, construction began on the College Building, now known as the Sir Christopher Wren Building, in what was then called Middle Plantation (Virginia). It is the oldest college Reverend Dr. James Blair, building in America. The College is one of the country's nine Colonial Colleges founded founder of William & Mary before the American Revolution. The Charter named James Blair as the College's ﬁrst president (a lifetime appointment which he held until his death in 1743). William & Mary was founded as an Anglican institution; students were required to be members of the Church of England, and professors were required to declare adherence to the Thirty-Nine Articles.[13]

In 1693, the College was given a seat in the House of Burgesses and it was determined the College would be supported by tobacco taxes and export duties on furs and animal skins. The College acquired a 330 acres (1.3 km2) parcel for the new school,[14] 8 miles (13 km) from Jamestown. In 1694, the new school opened in temporary buildings.
