Attachments Notice of Opposition - Serial. No. 87771224 - 10.31.2018.pdf(928051 bytes ) Signature /Thomas H. Prochnow/ Name Thomas H. Prochnow Date 10/31/2018 IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD In the Matter of Trademark Application Serial No. 87/771,224 Mark: KANSAS CITY SCOUTS __________________________________________x : NATIONAL HOCKEY LEAGUE : : Opposer, : Opposition No. __________ : v. : : NOTICE OF OPPOSITION LORETTO HOLDINGS, LLC : : Applicant. : : _________________________________________ x The National Hockey League (“NHL”), an unincorporated association organized as a joint venture and having a business address of 1185 Avenue of the Americas, New York, New York 10036 (“Opposer”), believes it will be damaged by the registration of the subject mark of Application Serial No. 87/771,224, KANSAS CITY SCOUTS, (the “Application”) filed on an intent-to-use basis by Loretto Holdings, LLC (“Applicant”), and hereby opposes the Application. The grounds for opposition are as follows: 1. The NHL is the world’s foremost professional ice hockey league. Founded in 1917, the NHL is an association of member clubs that compete against each other during an approximately nine-month-long season. Since the NHL’s founding, more than 50 separate clubs have been members of the NHL as a result of expansion, merger, reorganization, relocation, and re-branding. Although some of these NHL member clubs have moved or changed names, fans continue to recognize all of the NHL’s current and former member clubs and associate them with the NHL. 1 2. From 1974 to 1976, the member club then known as the Kansas City Scouts used the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS trademark to identify itself with a wide variety of goods and services related to the sport of ice hockey. 3. The Kansas City Scouts relocated to Denver, Colorado in 1976 and changed the name of the club to the Colorado Rockies. In 1982, the Rockies relocated to New Jersey and changed the name of the club to the New Jersey Devils who remain in the NHL today. 4. The NHL and its affiliates have continued to use the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark in connection with the sport of ice hockey, including through the NHL Vintage Hockey program that commemorates historic NHL member clubs through the sale of licensed merchandise bearing the names and logos of such historic NHL member clubs. As part of this program, the NHL engages in a collateral licensing program featuring the mark. Licensed apparel and merchandise featuring the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark are sold through the online stores of NHL licensees and third party retailers. Examples of licensed KANSAS CITY SCOUTS apparel and merchandise available for sale online include the items depicted on the following pages: 2 3 4 5 6 5. The KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark is symbolic of the extensive goodwill and consumer recognition that Opposer and its predecessors have acquired through substantial expenditures of time, effort, and other resources in the promotion of the goods and services offered and sold under the mark. Consequently, the public associates the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark uniquely and unmistakably with the goods and services of Opposer. 6. Applicant filed the Application to register the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark on January 25, 2018 on an intent-to-use basis for a variety of hockey- and hockey team-related goods and services, long after Opposer had acquired significant recognition and goodwill in the same KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark. The Application claims an intent to use the mark in connection with audio and video recordings featuring the sport of hockey, electronic database in the field of hockey information and statistics recorded on computer media, calendars, flags and pennants of paper, magazines in the field of hockey, notepads, posters, printed pamphlets, brochures, manuals, books, booklets, leaflets, informational flyers, informational sheets and newsletters, adhesive backed stickers, and kits comprised solely of one or more of the foregoing materials in the field of hockey, athletic apparel, namely, shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps, athletic uniforms, belts, gloves, jackets, jerseys, men's and women's jackets, coats, trousers, vests, sweaters, wristbands as clothing, computerized on-line retail store services in the field of hockey apparel, printed material, and novelty items, entertainment services in the nature of hockey exhibitions, entertainment services, namely, providing a web site featuring photographic, audio, video and prose presentations featuring hockey, and fan clubs. 7 7. In a letter dated August 8, 2018, Opposer’s counsel contacted Applicant to object to the Application, setting forth the history of the NHL’s ongoing use of the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS trademark. 8. Upon information and belief, in September 2018, a representative of Applicant stated in an open letter to the Kansas City Youth Hockey Association that “Kansas City has a rich history of Hockey and we couldn’t think of a better name [than KANSAS CITY SCOUTS] to help inspire our young players.” 9. Upon information and belief, this statement reflects Applicant’s intent to use the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark purposefully to trade off the goodwill of the public’s association of the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark with Opposer and/or with NHL hockey. 10. The goods set forth in the Application are identical and/or closely related to the goods and services offered by Opposer and its licensees in connection with the KANSAS CITY SCOUTS mark. 11. The public is likely to be misled into believing that Applicant’s goods and services are associated with Opposer or with Opposer’s goods and services, that Applicant’s goods emanate from or are sponsored, endorsed or licensed by Opposer, or that there is some relationship between Applicant and Opposer. 12. The Application and the presumption of exclusivity that would arise to Applicant from registration of the designation set forth therein are inconsistent with Opposer’s prior rights in the mark. 13. Opposer will be damaged by the registration sought by Applicant because such registration will support and assist Applicant in the confusing and misleading use of the mark 8 sought to be registered and will give color of exclusive statutory rights to Applicant in violation and derogation of the prior and superior rights of Opposer. 14. Opposer believes it will be damaged by the registration sought by Applicant under Section 13 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1063, on the ground that Applicant’s use and registration of the mark will falsely suggest a connection between Applicant and Opposer to the detriment of Opposer in violation of Section 2(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(a). 15. Opposer believes it will be damaged by the registration sought by Applicant under Section 13 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.

  • Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings Destination: Europe the Canadiens and Red Wings Become the First Teams to Play a Series of Postseason Exhibition Games in Europe
    NHL OVERSEAS HISTORY 1938: Montreal Canadiens, Detroit Red Wings Destination: Europe The Canadiens and Red Wings become the first teams to play a series of postseason exhibition games in Europe. New York Herald Tribune sportswriter Sparrow Robertson on the games played in Paris: "The professional ice hockey players of the two teams in Paris are a fine lot of players. Next week the two teams are scheduled to play in London and the hockey enthusiasts of the big city will see the fastest competition game played by humans as it should be played. It is really thrilling to witness ice hockey such as we have seen played in Paris by the Montreal Canadiens and Detroit Red Wings." May 1959: Boston Bruins, New York Rangers Destination: Europe After the 1959 season, the Boston Bruins and New York Rangers embarked on a 10-city, 23- game European tour. The Bruins had finished second in the six-team league that year, while the Rangers had placed fifth. But European fans were treated to competitive, exciting games and introduced to some of North America's brightest stars. The tour stopped in London, England; Geneva, Switzerland; Paris, France; Antwerp, Belgium; Zurich, Switzerland; Dortmund, Germany; Essen Germany; Krekfeld, Germany; Berlin, Germany and Vienna, Austria. April 1976: Washington Capitals, Kansas City Scouts Destination: Japan The second-year Scouts, who would later become the Colorado Rockies and then the New Jersey Devils, faced the Washington Capitals, also a second-year franchise, in a four-game series in Tokyo and Sapporo. The Caps, who had finished the regular season at the foot of the Wales Conference standings, handed the Scouts, the bottom team in the Campbell Conference, a 3-1 defeat in the series.

  • Master Thesis
    Master Thesis Location decisions in professional ice hockey “Is the Greater Toronto/Southern Ontario region a viable market for National Hockey League relocation?” Rijksuniversiteit Groningen Faculteit der Ruimtelijke wetenschappen Jaïr de Paauw S1573152 28-09-2007 Eerste Begeleider: Drs. P.J.M. van Steen Tweede Begeleider: Dr. P.R.A. Terpstra Preface This paper is the result of a thesis research concluding the master Economic Geography at the Rijksuniversiteit Groningen. This research has been conducted at the State University of New York at Geneseo, thanks to the partnership the between the two respective spatial sciences faculties and adds an international dimension to my master thesis. The research topic is franchise relocations in professional sports, and in particular in ice hockey. Being an avid hockey fan myself, this topic appeals to me. The phenomenon that hockey franchises could just move, and especially move from Canadian cities that breathe hockey, to Sunbelt cities has always fascinated me. By this research I was able to combine two passions; hockey and geography. While conducting my research I soon realized how complex and sometimes illogic geographical decisions made in the American sports industry are. It triggered me to continue my research with the same enthusiasm as when I started. Apart from remaining interested in this dynamic topic throughout the research, the actual research and its practical implementations caused a whole new learning experience as well. Concluding the entire thesis experience has been interesting and helpful in obtaining academic knowledge. Even though the research was conducted abroad and regularly meetings with my advisor were not possible, I remained in contact by e-mail, and the cooperation was very pleasant and productive.
