I. Introduction
Applicant, Gifted Invictus LLC, (“Applicant”), by and through their undersigned legal counsel, submit Applicant’s Motion for Summary Judgement under Rule 56 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(a); 37 C.F.R. §2.127. Applicant respectfully asks the Board to deny INVICTA S.p.A.’s (“Opposer”) claim in opposition of Applicant’s trademark
GIFTED INVICTUS under Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act on account of Opposer’s INVICTA trademarks.
There is no dispute as to any material fact relevant to the issue of likelihood of confusion between Applicant’s Trademark and Opposer’s Trademarks in connection with the goods and services as listed in Applicant’s trademark application and Opposer’s Trademark Registrations.
4 of 14 Applicant is therefore entitled to judgement as a matter of law on the grounds that no likelihood of confusion exists between Applicant’s Trademark and Opposer’s Trademarks.
II. Argument
A. Legal Standard for Summary Judgment
Summary judgment is appropriate when the record shows that there is no genuine issue of material fact and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law. Fed. R. Civ.
P. 56(c); See Lincoln Logs Ltd. v. Lincoln Pre-Cut Log Homes, Inc., 971 F.2d 732, 734 (Fed.
Cir. 1992); Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 323 (1986). A dispute as to a material fact issue is genuine only if a reasonable fact finder viewing the entire record could resolve the dispute in favor of the nonmoving party. See Olde Tyme Foods Inc. v. Roundy’s Inc., 961 F.2d 200, 22 USPQ2d 1542, 1544 (Fed. Cir. 1992).
The nonmoving party may not rest on the “mere allegations” of their pleading and assertions of counsel, but must designate specific portions of the record or produce additional evidence showing the existence of a genuine issue of material fact for trial. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(e).
B. Legal Standard to Establish a Likelihood of Confusion
“Whether there is a likelihood of confusion is a question of law based on underlying facts, such as the similarity of the marks and the relatedness of the goods or services.” Shen
Manufacturing Co., Inc. v. The Ritz Hotel Limited, 393 F.3d 1238, 1241 (Fed. Cir. 2004) (citing
In re Dixie Restaurants, Inc., 105 F.3d 1405, 1406, 41 USPQ2d 1531 (Fed. Cir. 1997)); see also
Recot Inc. v. M.C. Becton, 214 F.3d 1322, 1326, 54 USPQ2d 1894 (Fed. Cir. 2000). “Likelihood of confusion ‘is a legal conclusion’ and cannot be ‘admitted’ as a fact.” Giant Food, Inc. v.
5 of 14 Nation's Foodservice, Inc., 710 F.2d 1565, 1569, 218 USPQ 390, 394 (Fed. Cir. 1983);
Interstate Brands Corp. v. Celestial Seasonings, Inc., 576 F.2d 926, 929, 198 USPQ 151, 153 (CCPA 1978)).
The Board determines likelihood of confusion on a case-specific basis, using the factors set forth in DuPont. See In re E.I. DuPont DeNemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361, 177 USPQ
563, 567 (CCPA 1973). Recot Inc. v. M.C. Becton, 214 F.3d at 1326. The Board does not need to consider every single DuPont factor. Rather, only factors that are relevant need be considered. See Shen Manufacturing Co., Inc. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d at 1241. “We know of no reason why, in a particular case, a single DuPont factor may not be dispositive” and holding that ‘substantial and undisputed differences’ between two competing marks justified a conclusion of no likelihood of confusion on summary judgment.” Champagne Louis Roederer,
S.A. v. Delicato Vineyards, 148 F.3d 1373, 1375, 47 USPQ2d 1459 (Fed. Cir. 1998) (quoting
Kellogg Co. v. Pack'em Enters., 951 F.2d 330, 332-33, 21 USPQ2d 1142, 1144-45 (Fed. Cir. 1991)). The Board and federal courts throughout the United States continue to reinforce the foundational principle that the predominant inquiry in likelihood of confusion matters rests upon the similarity or dissimilarity of the trademarks themselves. See e.g., Herbko Intern., Inc. v.
Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1165 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (quoting In re E.I. DuPont DeNemours
& Co., 476 F.2d at 1361, 177 USPQ at 567; Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281 F.3d 1261, 1265 (Fed. Cir. 2002)).
The trademarks at issue should not be analyzed in piecemeal. See Franklin Mint Corp. v.
Master Mfg. Co., 667 F.2d 1005, 1007, 212 USPQ 233, 234 (CCPA 1981). “The ultimate conclusion of similarity or dissimilarity of the marks must rest on consideration of the marks in their entirety.” Packard Press v. Hewlett-Packard, 227 F.3d 1352, 1358 (Fed. Cir. 2000). While it is proper to afford more weight to particular portions of a trademark, such analysis “does not
6 of 14 excuse consideration of the other components of the mark as a whole.” Id.( citing Sleepmaster
Prods. Co. v. American Auto-Felt Corp., 241 F.2d 738, 741, 113 USPQ 63, 66 (CCPA 1957)); see also In Re National Data Corporation, 753 F.2d 1056, 1059, 224 USPQ 749 (Fed. Cir. 1985). “Arguments to the effect that one portion of a mark possesses no trademark significance leading to a direct comparison between only what remains is an erroneous approach.” Specialty
Brands, Inc. v. Coffee Bean Distribs., Inc., 748 F.2d 669, 673 (Fed. Cir. 1984) (citing Spice
Islands, Inc. v. Frank Tea & Spice Co., 505 F.2d 1293, 1295, 184 USPQ 35, 37 (CCPA 1974)).
See also Magnavox Co. v. Multivox Corp. of America, 341 F.2d 139, 52 CCPA 1025 (1965).
A. Context for Evaluating Trademarks for Likelihood of Confusion
“[S]imilarity is not a binary factor but is a matter of degree.” In re St. Helena Hospital, 774
F.3d 747, 113 USPQ2d 1082, 1085 (Fed. Cir. 2014) (quoting In re Coors Brewing Co., 343 F.3d 1340, 68 USPQ2d 1059, 1062 (Fed. Cir. 2003)). When determining whether a likelihood of confusion exists, the proper inquiry is not an evaluation of whether the trademarks at issue, or the goods or services in connection with those trademarks are likely to be confused by the consuming public. Rather, the correct manner of analysis is into whether a likelihood of confusion exists regarding the source or sponsorship of the goods or services that the trademarks are used in connection with. See, e.g., Paula Payne Products Co. v. Johnson’s
Publishing Co., 473 F.2d 901, 902, 177 USPQ 76, 77 (CCPA 1973) (“[T]he question is not whether people will confuse the marks, but rather whether the marks will confuse people into believing that the goods they identify emanate from the same source.”) See also Helene Curtis
Industries Inc. v. Suave Shoe Corp., 13 USPQ2d 1618, 1624 (TTAB 1989). Likelihood of confusion requires “a probability of confusion”, not just a “mere possibility.”
Xtreme Lashes, LLC v. Xtended Beauty, Inc., 576 F.3d 221, 226 (5th Cir. 2009). “We are not
7 of 14 concerned with mere theoretical possibilities of confusion, deception, or mistake or with de minimis situations but with the practicalities of the commercial world, with which the trademark laws deal.” Electronic Design Sales Inc. v. Electronic Data Systems Corporation, 954 F. 2d 713,
21 USPQ2d 1388, 1391, (quoting Witco Chem. Co. v. Whitfield Chem. Co., 418 F.2d 1403, 164
USPQ 43, 44-45 (CCPA 1969), aff’g 153 USPQ 412 (TTAB 1967)); see also Carter-Wallace,
Inc. v. Procter & Gamble Co., 434 F.2d 794, 804, 167 USPQ 713, 720 (9th Cir. 1970). “No mechanical rule determines likelihood of confusion, and each case requires weighing of the facts and circumstances of the particular mark.” In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 94 USPQ2d 1257, 1259 (Fed. Cir. 2010).
C. Likelihood of Confusion Factors
The only du Pont factor at issue in this matter is the entirely dissimilar nature of the trademarks at issue. See du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1362-63, 177 USPQ at 568-69. “This factor examines the relevant features of the marks, including appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial impression.” Hewlett-Packard Co. v. Packard Press, Inc., 281 F.3d at 1265-1266
(citing Recot, Inc. v. M.C. Becton, 214 F.3d at 1329). See also In Re Bed & Breakfast Registry, 791 F.2d 157, 159, 229 USPQ 818, 819 (Fed. Cir. 1986). This factor is a key consideration in any likelihood of confusion analysis. See Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard Paper Co., 544
F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (CCPA 1976); In re Iolo Techs., LLC, 95 USPQ2d 1498,
1499 (TTAB 2010); In re Max Capital Grp. Ltd., 93 USPQ2d 1243, 1244 (TTAB 2010); In re
Thor Tech, Inc., 90 USPQ2d 1634, 1635 (TTAB 2009). “The proper test is not a side-by-side comparison of the marks, but instead whether the marks are sufficiently similar in terms of their commercial impression such that persons who encounter the marks would be likely to assume a connection between the parties.” Coach
8 of 14 Servs., Inc. v. Triumph Learning LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1377, 101 USPQ2d 1713, 1721 (Fed. Cir. 2012). Applicant’s Trademark and Opposer’s Trademarks are distinctly different in their sight, sound, and commercial impression.
Applicant’s Trademark, GIFTED INVICTUS, begins with the word ‘gifted’, a two syllable term with numerous connotations on its own. Merriam-Webster defines ‘gifted’ as “having great natural ability; revealing a special gift”.1 Cambridge dictionary defines ‘gifted’ as “having special ability in a particular subject or activity”.2 Therefore, a consumer who encounters Applicant’s
Trademark is immediately presented with a situation which requires them to determine which definition of the term ‘gifted’ is applicable. Thereafter, the consumer is presented with the term,
‘invictus’, which is not defined by Merriam-Webster or Cambridge dictionaries.3 4 As such, a consumer presented with Applicant’s Trademark has no definitive definition to rely upon. Rather, the meaning of the trademark GIFTED INVICTUS is left open to interpretation.
Applicant respectfully requests that the Board take judicial notice of the preceding dictionary definitions based upon its precedent of doing so when the record shows that the evidence is “the electronic equivalent of a print publication”. In re Red Bull GmbH, 78 USPQ2d
1375, 1378 (TTAB 2006). See also In re Cordua Rests. LP, 110 USPQ2d 1227, 1229 n.4 (TTAB
2014), aff’d, 823 F.3d 594, 118 USPQ2d 1632 (Fed. Cir. 2016); Threshold.TV Inc. v. Metronome
Enters. Inc., 96 USPQ2d 1031, 1038 n.14 (TTAB 2010).
1 See Exhibit 1 showing the definition of ‘gifted’ as displayed on merriam-webster.com. 2 See Exhibit 2 showing the definition of ‘gifted’ as displayed on dictionary.cambridge.org. 3 See Exhibit 3 showing the lack of an entry in the Merriam Webster dictionary for the term ‘invictus’, as displayed on merriam-webster.com. 4 See Exhibit 4 showing the lack of an entry in the Cambridge dictionary for the term ‘invictus’, as displayed on dictionary.cambridge.org.
9 of 14 Opposer’s Trademarks for INVICTA, consists of one word, which contains three syllables. The English translation of Opposer’s “INVICTA” trademarks is “invincible”, as evidenced by the translation statement included on the associated registrations.5
D. Analysis of Specific DuPont Factors A determination of likelihood of confusion between two trademarks is made based upon the specific facts and evidence made of record in each case. See In re Dixie Restaurants, Inc., 105 F.3d at 1406-07, 41 USPQ2d at 1533. “No mechanical rule determines likelihood of confusion, and each case requires weighing of the facts and circumstances of the particular mark." In re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1346, 94 USPQ2d 1257, 1259 (Fed. Cir 2010).
Additionally, any one of the DuPont factors may control a particular case. See id. See also du
Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361-62, 177; Cunningham v. Laser Golf Corp., 222 F.3d 943, 946, 55 USPQ2d 1842, 1845 (Fed. Cir. 2000). After comparing the marks in appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial impression, it is blatantly clear that they are different in far more ways than they are alike. See Price Candy Co. v. Gold Medal Candy Corp., 220 F.2d 759, 105 USPQ 266 (CCPA 1955) (where there are both similarities and differences in the marks, these must be weighed against one another to see which predominate). This alone should be sufficient for Applicant to prevail. See Odom's Tennessee Pride Sausage, Inc. v. FF Acquisition,
L.L.C., 600 F.3d 1343, 1346-47 (Fed. Cir. 2010) (affirming summary judgment based on dissimilarity between marks alone, finding that individual aspects of the marks collectively created a difference in overall commercial impression); Kellogg Co. v. Pack'Em Enters. Inc., 951 F.2d 330, 21 USPQ2d 1142 (granting summary judgment solely based on dissimilarity between
5 See Exhibit 5 which shows printouts from the TSDR system of the USPTO for U.S. Registration Numbers 2151279, 3976519, 5409829, and 5409408.
10 of 14 the marks “Froot Loops” and “Frootee Ice,” which are arguably more similar than the marks at issue in the instant proceeding).
“What is important is not whether people will confuse the marks, but whether the marks will be likely to confuse people into believing that the goods or services they are purchasing emanate from the same source.” Kangol Ltd. v. KangaROOS U.S.A. Inc., 974 F.2d 161, 23
USPQ2d 1945 (Fed. Cir. 1992) (citing Paula Payne Prods. Co. v. Johnson Publishing Co., 473 F.2d 901, 177 USPQ at 77).
The trademarks at issue should not be analyzed in piecemeal. See Franklin Mint Corp. v.
Master Mfg. Co., 667 F.2d at 1007, 212 USPQ at 234. “We have said, so often as not to require citation of authority, that marks must be viewed as the public sees them, i.e., in their entireties.”
Coca-Cola Company v. Seven-Up Company 497 F.2d 1351 (CCPA 1974). The analysis cannot be predicated on dissecting the marks into their various components; that is, the decision must be based on the entire marks, not just part of the marks. See In Re National Data Corporation,
753 F.2d at 1058, 224 USPQ at 751. See also Franklin Mint Corp. v. Master Mfg. Co., 212 USPQ at 234. “The overall commercial impression derived from viewing the marks in their entireties is controlling.” Dan Robbins Associates v. Questor Corp., 599 F.2d 1009, 1013 (CCPA
1979) (citing New England Fish Co. v. The Hervin Co., 511 F.2d 562, 563, 184 USPQ 817, 818 (CCPA 1975)).
Such unequivocal level of dissimilarity precludes a finding of likelihood of confusion. See
Shen Manufacturing Co., Inc. v. Ritz Hotel Ltd., 393 F.3d at 1243; Champagne Louis Roederer,
S.A. v. Delicato Vineyards, 148 F.3d at 1375 (affirming TTAB determination of no likelihood of confusion between CRISTAL and CRYSTAL CREEK wines).
11 of 14 I. Conclusion
As is often the case, the most important factor in this proceeding is the “dissimilarity in commercial impression” of the trademarks at issue. Keebler Co. v. Murray Bakery Prods., 866 F.2d 1386, 1388, 9 USPQ2d 1736, 1739 (Fed. Cir. 1989). “The ultimate question remains whether relevant consumers are likely to believe that the products or services offered by the parties are affiliated in some way.” Homeowners Group, Inc. v. Home Marketing Specialists,
Inc., 931 F.2d 1100, 1107 (6th Cir. 1991). The mere fact that one trademark causes a consumer to think of another trademark does not on its own demonstrate a likelihood of confusion regarding the source of the goods. See Application of Ferrero, 479 F.2d 1395, 1397 (CCPA 1973). Therefore, the question in this case, as is the concern in all trademark matters, is whether consumers of Applicant’s goods are likely to think that the origin of such goods is the cited trademark. See Taubman Co. v. Webfeats Taubman Co. v. Webfeats, 319 F. 3d 770, 776 (6th Cir. 2003).
The correct manner of analysis is to determine the perspective of the average consumer.
See EI DuPont De Nemours & Co. v. Yoshida Internat'l, Inc., 393 F. Supp. 502, 513 (E.D.N.Y.
1975) (citing Florence Mfg. Co. v. J. C. Dowd & Co., 178 F. 73, 75 (2 Cir. 1910)); Coca-Cola
Company v. Gemini Rising, Inc., 346 F. Supp. 1183, 1190 (E.D.N.Y. 1972). While the average consumer is not necessarily a trademark or brand expert, the “purchasing public must be credited with at least a modicum of intelligence,” or “with a minimum capacity for discrimination.”
EI DuPont De Nemours & Co. 393 F. Supp. at 513 (quoting Carnation Co. v. California Growers
Wineries, 97 F.2d 80, 81, 25 CCPA 1277 (1938)); Hiram Walker & Sons v. Penn-Maryland
Corporation, 79 F.2d 836, 839 (2 Cir. 1935). The differences between Applicant’s and
12 of 14 Opposer’s trademarks predominate any similarities between them. See Price Candy Co. 220 F.2d 759, 105 USPQ 266.
Therefore, Applicant respectfully asserts that the Board should deny Opposer’s opposition to Applicant’s trademark registration, and grant Applicant’s Motion for Summary
Judgement.
