Roman Campos Attorney Docket No.: 0251/0101OT IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD In the Matter of Application Serial No. 90262909 For the mark: Published: May 18, 2021 X – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – WENZHOU ZHONGBANG SMOKING-SET : MANUFACTURING CO., LTD., : Opposition No. 91269491 Opposer, : : v. : : Fengmei Gu, : : Applicant. : – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – X AMENDED NOTICE OF OPPOSITION WENZHOU ZHONGBANG SMOKING-SET MANUFACTURING CO., LTD. ("Opposer"), an limited company existing under the laws of China with a principal place of business at No.55 Gaoying Road, Gaoxiang Industrial, Zone, Xinqiao, Ouhai District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang CHINA 325000, believes that it will be damaged by the issuance of a registration for the mark ZOBO as shown in Fengmei Gu’s ("Applicant") Application Serial No. 90262909 (the "Challenged Application") in connection with “Hookahs; Pipes for tobacco; Cigarette filters; Re-useable cigarette filters; Cigarette cases; Cigarette holders; Cases for re-usable cigarette filters” in International Class 34, and hereby opposes the Challenged Application on grounds of likelihood of confusion and fraud/lack of ownership pursuant to Section 13 of the Lanham Trademark Act of 1946 ("Lanham Act"), 15 U.S.C. § 1063. As grounds for opposition, Opposer alleges as follows: COUNT I – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION 1. Opposer is a limited company existing under the laws of China with a principal place of business at No.55 Gaoying Road, Gaoxiang Industrial, Zone, Xinqiao, Ouhai District, Wenzhou City, Zhejiang CHINA 325000. 2. Opposer has engaged, and is now engaged in the rendering, distribution, sale, advertising, and promotion in interstate commerce of consumer goods in Class 34, “Hookahs; Ashtrays for smokers; Cigar cutters; Cigarette-rolling machines; Cigarette cases; Cigarette filters; Cigarette holders; Cigarette rolling machines; Filter tips; Lighters for smokers; Snuff boxes; Tobacco grinders; Tobacco jars; Tobacco pipes.” 3. As Opposer is in the business of selling the goods identified in the Challenged Application, namely “Hookahs; Pipes for tobacco; Cigarette filters; Re-useable cigarette filters; Cigarette cases; Cigarette holders; Cases for re-usable cigarette filters,” and is using the marks ZOBO and , (“the ZOBO Marks”), in connection with these goods, the Challenged Application and any resulting registration interfere with the Opposer's current business and business plans. Opposer therefore has a real interest in opposing the Challenged Application and standing to bring this action. 4. Opposer commenced use long prior to Applicant’s claimed date of first use of June 29, 2019 in connection with its goods, namely, as early as February 2007 for the word mark and September 2011 for the word & design mark. 5. Opposer owns numerous registrations such in China, European Union, Indonesia, Russia, India, Japan, Republic of Korea, Vietnam and several pending U.S. applications for the mark ZOBO in multiple consumer goods classes including pending Application Serial Nos. 90552165, 90552210, 90552157, 90552191 for the following goods in Classes 6, 7 and 34: “Safes; Buckles of common metal; Door handles of metal; Hinge pin door closers of metal; Hinges of metal; Locks of metal for vehicles; Locks of metal, other than electric; Split rings of common metal for keys; Spring-loaded door closers of metal,” “Friction lighters for igniting gas; Utility lighters for lighting grills, fireplaces and candles,” “Hookahs; Ashtrays for smokers; Cigar cutters; Cigarette-rolling machines; Cigarette cases; Cigarette filters; Cigarette holders; Cigarette rolling machines; Filter tips; Lighters for smokers; Snuff boxes; Tobacco grinders; Tobacco jars; Tobacco pipes.” Attached hereto in Exhibit A. 6. As a result of its widespread, continuous, and exclusive use of the ZOBO Marks to identify its goods and Opposer as their source, Opposer owns valid common law rights to the ZOBO Marks. 7. Opposer has made a substantial investment in promoting its goods under its Mark. Opposer has extensively used, promoted, and offered Opposer’s goods in connection with Opposer’s Mark to the public through various channels of trade in commerce, with the result that Opposer’s customers and the public in general have come to know and recognize Opposer’s Mark and associate same with Opposer and/or the goods offered by Opposer. Opposer has built extensive goodwill in connection with the provision of its goods under its Mark. 8. Applicant’s mark so resembles Opposer’s Mark as to be likely, when used in connection with the goods of Applicant, to cause confusion or mistake or to deceive purchasers resulting in damage and detriment to Opposer and its reputation. 9. Opposer, upon information and belief, avers that its customers, and the public in general, are likely to be confused, mistaken, or deceived as to the origin and sponsorship of Applicant’s goods marketed under Applicant’s challenge mark and misled into believing that such goods are produced by, emanate from, or are otherwise in some way directly or indirectly associated with Opposer, to the damage and detriment of Opposer and its reputation. 10. Applicant is clearly benefitting from, and trading off of, Opposer’s extensive goodwill in connection with the provision of its goods and services under its Mark, resulting in damage and detriment to Opposer and its reputation. COUNT II – LACK OF OWNERSHIP/FRAUD Opposer herein repeats and realleges paragraphs 1 through 10 above. 11. Upon information and belief, notwithstanding Opposer’s rights in and to its Mark, on October 19, 2020. Applicant, knowing he was not the legitimate owner of the mark, filed an application for registration of the Challenged Application for the mark ZOBO & Design for “Hookahs; Pipes for tobacco; Cigarette filters; Re-useable cigarette filters; Cigarette cases; Cigarette holders; Cases for re-usable cigarette filters” in International Class 34. Applicant filed the Challenged Application based on an intent to use the mark ZOBO in U.S. commerce under Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §1051(b). Said application was assigned Serial No. 90262909 and was published for Opposition in the Official Gazette of May 18, 2021. 12. On information and belief, the Representation of the ownership of the mark ZOBO was false at the time of the filing. 13. On information and belief, Applicant knew the Representation was false at the time the Application was filed. 14. On information and belief, Applicant mislead the USPTO to cause the USPTO to approve the Challenged Application for publication. 15. On information and belief, Opposer sold its good to a person with the same address as Applicant on March 15, 2021, and April 16, 2021, in a shopping website in China. Attached hereto as Exhibit B. 16. On information and belief, Applicant’s specimen of record is Opposer’s specimen and the individual appearing on the specimen authorized Opposer to use his image for a period of two years on September 15, 2020, which predates the Applicant’s filing date. The image spokesperson Ray Lui is a popular film and TV actor in Hong Kong, China. The authorization of use, its translation and Wikipedia excerpts attached hereto as Exhibit C. 17. The false Representation was material because, but for the false Representation, the USPTO would not have approved the Challenged Application for publication. However, in reliance on the false Representation, the USPTO approved the Challenged Application for publication on May 18, 2021. 18. Opposer is being harmed and will be further harmed by issuance of the registration for the ZOBO & Design mark sought by the Challenged Application because it will block registration of Opposer’s ZOBO Marks and cause confusion in the marketplace.

PERSISTANCE DE LA NOUVELLE VAGUE Notre sélection rend hommage à la créativité persistante des cinéastes de Hong Kong et au mariage improbable de deux tendances complémentaires : l’ambitieuse Nouvelle Vague artistique et le film d’action des années 1980. Bien qu’elle soit exclue de notre sélection, il est utile d’insister sur le fait que la production chinoise 20 ANS / FILMS KONG, HONG de cinéastes et de vedettes originaires de Hong Kong, tels que Jackie Chan, Donnie Yen, Stephen Chow et Tsui Hark, continue à caracoler en tête du box-office chinois. Les deux films Journey to the West avec Stephen Chow (le deuxième réalisé par Tsui Hark) et La Sirène (avec Stephen Chow également) ont connu un immense succès en République Populaire. Ils n’auraient pas été possibles sans l’œuvre antérieure de leurs auteurs, sans la souplesse formelle qui caractérise le cinéma de Hong Kong. L’histoire et l’avenir de l’industrie hongkongaise se lit clairement dans la carrière d’un pionnier de la Nouvelle Vague, Tsui Hark, qui a rodé son savoir-faire en matière d’effets spéciaux d’arts martiaux dans ses premières productions télévisuelles et cinématographiques à Hong Kong durant les années 70 et 80.

  • Jin Yong's Novels and Hong Kong's Popular Culture Mr Cheng Ching

    Jin Yong's Novels and Hong Kong's Popular Culture Mr Cheng Ching

    Jin Yong’s Novels and Hong Kong’s Popular Culture Mr Cheng Ching-hang, Matthew Jin Yong’s martial arts novel, The Book and the Sword, was first serialised in the New Evening Post on 8 February 1955. His novels have been so well received since then that they have become a significant and deeply rooted part of Hong Kong’s popular culture. Jin Yong’s novels are uniquely positioned, somewhere between part literature and part plebeian entertaining read. That is why they have a wide readership following. From serials published in newspapers to films and hit TV drama series, they are at the same time acknowledged by academics as home-grown literature of Hong Kong, and take pride of place in the genre of Chinese novel-writing. The origins of the martial arts novel (also known as the “wuxia novel”) can be traced back to the ancient Shiji (The Records of the Grand Historian), specifically to chapters such as the “Biographies of Knight-errants” and “Men with Swords”. However, the genre draws inspiration from many parts of Chinese history and culture, including the Tang dynasty novels about chivalry, such as Pei Xing’s Nie Yinniang and Du Guangting’s The Man with the Curly Beard; The Water Margin, which was written between the Yuan and Ming dynasties; and the Qing dynasty novels about heroism, such as The Seven Heroes and Five Gallants and Adventures of Emperor Qianlong. In 1915, Lin Shu (Lin Qinnan) wrote a classic Chinese novella, Fumei Records, and its publication in the third issue of the periodical Xiao Shuo Da Guan was accompanied by the earliest use of the term “martial arts novel”.

Mobility, Marriage and Gender in Transitional China Ching Wu Lake Lui A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of Washington 2015 Reading Committee: Sara R. Curran, Chair Gary G. Hamilton Julie Brines Program Authorized to Offer Degree: Department of Sociology University of Washington Abstract Moving Up or Staying Put? Mobility, Marriage and Gender in Transitional China Ching Wu Lake Lui Chair of the Supervisory Committee: Professor Sara R. Curran Jackson School of International Studies Department of Sociology In China, despite longstanding inequalities based on gender, social class, and rural/urban status, several factors have potentially challenged the existing socially stratified structure in the recent decade – namely the prevalence of migration, recent socio-political reforms, cultural similarities, better education for the general public, and improvement in transportation. This dissertation asks how China’s stratified structure is shifting and/or reworking through marriage. Special attention is paid to intermarriages between rural and urban people, as these couples characterize how walls that delineate rural-urban boundaries begin to erode and how other structures like gender and class factor in. To answer these questions, my dissertation is organized into three chapters. First, I draw on the Chinese General Social Survey to examine the trends, prevalence, and the characteristics of rural-urban marriages. The results show that intermarriages are rare across periods despite the rising trend. The intermarriages that occur are characterized by exchange relationships in which rural people trade their higher education with the “urban” status of their spouse.

The University of Texas at Austin, 2015 Supervisor: Huaiyin Li This work is a modern history of Changsha, the capital city of Hunan province, from the late nineteenth to mid twentieth centuries. The story begins by discussing a battle that occurred in the city during the Taiping Rebellion (1850-1864), a civil war that erupted in China during the mid nineteenth century. The events of this battle, but especially its memorialization in local temples in the years following the rebellion, established a local identity of resistance to Christianity and western imperialism. By the 1890’s this culture of resistance contributed to a series of riots that erupted in south China, related to the distribution of anti-Christian tracts and placards from publishing houses in Changsha. During these years a local gentry named Ye Dehui (1864-1927) emerged as a prominent businessman, grain merchant, and community leader.
  • Cantonese As a World Language from Pearl River and Beyond

    Cantonese As a World Language from Pearl River and Beyond

    Volume 10 Issue 2 (2021) Cantonese as a World Language From Pearl River and Beyond Jiaqing Zeng1 and Asif Agha2 1St. Paul’s School, Concord, NH, USA 2University of Pennsylvania, Philadelphia, PA, USA DOI: https://doi.org/10.47611/jsrhs.v10i2.1435 ABSTRACT In this paper, I will be comparing different registers of Cantonese from all around the world, mainly focusing on the Pearl River Delta region after the 1800s. Yet my larger purpose is to draw attention to how these different registers relate to the cultural values and social lives of the people living in those places. Max Weinreich, a pioneer sociolinguist and Yiddish scholar once said, “a language is a dialect with an army and a navy (Fishman).” Cantonese is no exception, and the state of this language has been dependent upon four factors: the geographic distribution of the Cantonese- speaking population, the economic development of Cantonese-speaking regions, official status, and international sig- nificance. Introduction Cantonese is one of the Chinese dialects and the mother tongue for the Guangfu people of Han Chinese, who were originally from China’s Lingnan region. The language has a complete set of nine tones, retaining many features of Middle Ancient Chinese since the area seldom suffered from wars and was unaffected by the nomadic minorities in northern China. It has a complete series of characters that can be expressed independently from other Chinese lan- guages, and it is the only Chinese language that has been studied in foreign universities in addition to Mandarin. It originated from Canton (Guangzhou) because of the important role that Canton had played in China’s important pol- itics, economy, and culture since ancient times, and it still has official status in Hong Kong and Macau today.
  • Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette

    Communication, Empire, and Authority in the Qing Gazette

    COMMUNICATION, EMPIRE, AND AUTHORITY IN THE QING GAZETTE by Emily Carr Mokros A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland June, 2016 © 2016 Emily Carr Mokros All rights Reserved Abstract This dissertation studies the political and cultural roles of official information and political news in late imperial China. Using a wide-ranging selection of archival, library, and digitized sources from libraries and archives in East Asia, Europe, and the United States, this project investigates the production, regulation, and reading of the Peking Gazette (dibao, jingbao), a distinctive communications channel and news publication of the Qing Empire (1644-1912). Although court gazettes were composed of official documents and communications, the Qing state frequently contracted with commercial copyists and printers in publishing and distributing them. As this dissertation shows, even as the Qing state viewed information control and dissemination as a strategic concern, it also permitted the free circulation of a huge variety of timely political news. Readers including both officials and non-officials used the gazette in order to compare judicial rulings, assess military campaigns, and follow court politics and scandals. As the first full-length study of the Qing gazette, this project shows concretely that the gazette was a powerful factor in late imperial Chinese politics and culture, and analyzes the close relationship between information and imperial practice in the Qing Empire. By arguing that the ubiquitous gazette was the most important link between the Qing state and the densely connected information society of late imperial China, this project overturns assumptions that underestimate the importance of court gazettes and the extent of popular interest in political news in Chinese history.

His plays range from the most serious and pathetic to the fantastic and farcical, drawing material from legends, historical events, current and contemporary issues. The object of this study is to investigate the range and quality of Chen's plays, and thence to identify those characteristics which he shared with other modern Chinese playwrights and those peculiar to him. This thesis consists of six chapters. The first two are of introductory nature, giving an idea of the objective and methods used in the study, as well as some background information on Chen's life and his playwriting career.
