I. INTRODUCTION

Registrant Szafarski brings this motion for summary judgment on Petitioner Allied Lomar, Inc.’s claims that Szafarski’s Registration No. 5,811,545 (“Registrant’s ‘545 Registration”) is invalid under 15

USC §1052(d) (Trademark Act §14(3) and § (2)(a)). (See, Petition for Cancellation, dkt no 1)

In spite of a U.S. District Court finding of abandonment of Petitioner’s mark COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL, and Petitioner’s admission of such abandonment in cancellation proceeding no. 92060851

against Petitioner’s 2,777,811 Registration (“Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration”), Petitioner brings this

proceeding. Aside from the invalidity of Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, there is no likelihood of confusion

of CALIFORNIA COWBOY and Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL. The marks

are quite different and there are many users of COWBOY for whiskey and other alcohol goods.

In addition, Petitioner seeks cancellation on the grounds of its recently filed Application No.

88775912 (“Petitioner’s ‘912 Application”) on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, which was filed after

Registrant’s ‘545 Registration issued, based on priority. This is the same mark as in the ‘811 Registration,

and therefore there is no likelihood of confusion with it too.

Petitioner also asserts common law rights in COWBOY. Petitioner has no such mark. For

example, Petitioner asserted rights in COWBOY in a 2014 lawsuit against the user of COWBOY

BOURBON and lost that suit. Petitioner was not the first to use COWBOY in connection with whiskey

and has no rights. There is also another prior user of PANIOLO (“COWBOY”) for whiskey, and several

additional users of marks having COWBOY therein for whiskey and wine. Moreover, there is no

likelihood of confusion with CALIFORNIA COWBOY.

Petitioner further seeks cancellation based on false suggestion grounds under 15 USC

§1052(a)(Lanham Act §2(a)) because of the word “California” in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration, but there

is no false suggestion. “California” modifies “Cowboy” in CALIFORNIA COWBOY and is not

suggesting where the goods are distilled. Registrant’s front label, approved by the TTB, clearly indicates

distillation in Kentucky and bottling in California.

II. UNDISPUTED FACTUAL BACKGROUND

1. Registrant’s ‘545 Registration is on CALIFORNIA COWBOY for whiskey and was duly issued by the US Trademark Office on July 23, 2019. See Reg. No. 5,811,545.

2. Registrant’s application was filed November 27, 2018 leading to Registrant’s ‘545 Registration.

See Reg. No. 5,811,545.

3. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL was filed January 28, 2020 on the word mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL for “alcoholic beverages, except beer” in class 033. See App

No. 88775912.

4. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is not registered. See App No. 88775912 file.

5. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application was filed after the application leading to Registrant’s ‘545

Registration. See Reg No. 5,811,545 and App No. 88775912.

6. Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL is the subject of a cancellation proceeding no. 92060851, in which Petitioner has admitted that the mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL was abandoned. See Hoffman Decl., ¶s 26-28, Exs. 25-27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in particular, Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (dkt no 25 Petitioner’s Response, p. 1, lines 14-17)).

7. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (“District Court”) found, after a jury verdict, that Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL was invalid based on abandonment.; See Hoffman Decl., ¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket Sheet); ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict); and ¶4, Ex. 3

(Judgment), all from Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery,

Case No. 14-CA-1078, Western District of Texas (“The Texas Litigation”).

8. Petitioner’s appeal in The Texas Litigation was unsuccessful and is over. The U.S. Court of

Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the District Court’s judgment of abandonment of the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration. See Hoffman Decl., ¶6, Ex. 5 (Allied Lomar,

Incorporated v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Appeal No. 17-50148,

United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, July 18, 2018)(“The Fifth Circuit Appeal”); see also,

¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket Sheet, p. 12, dkt no. 189).

2 | Page

9. Petitioner also admitted that it had not sold any COWBOY or COWBOY LITTLE BARREL whiskey products from and including 2012 until September 29, 2016 (almost 4 years). Hoffman Decl.,

¶24, Ex. 23 (Interrogatory Responses Nos. 5 and 3).

10. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted COWBOY BOURBON was sold by a third party,

Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery (“Lone Star”) at least as early as May 2013.

See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), e.g., p. 10, ¶s 34-35).

11. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted that Lone Star “emphasize[s] the word “COWBOY” in its branding, marketing, and advertising and on the labels of Defendant’s [Lone Star’s] whiskey products….” See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g., p. 10, ¶36).

12. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted that “the word “COWBOY” is the dominant portion of Defendant’s [Lone Star’s] mark “COWBOY BOURBON.” See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g., p. 11, ¶37).

13. In The Texas Litigation, the court found no likelihood of confusion between Lone Star’s mark

COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey and Petitioner’s mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL. See

Hoffman Decl., ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict, p. 2, Question/Answer No. 1); and ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment, pp. 1-2).

14. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner asserted that it had common law rights in “COWBOY” based on its COWBOY LITTLE BARREL labels showing the word “COWBOY” in a larger font than “LITTLE

BARREL.” Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g., pp. 4-5, ¶s 13-14 and on p. 14, ¶55, first cause of action for infringement of Petitioner’s alleged marks COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE BARREL).

15. In the judgment in The Texas Litigation, Petitioner did not prevail and so its claim of rights in

COWBOY failed. Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment, bottom of page 1: “IT IS ORDERED,

ADJUDGED, and DECREED that Allied Lomar, Inc. TAKE NOTHING….”)

16. Various third parties have used and/or are using marks having COWBOY therein and/or have registrations and/or applications pending thereon, as shown in the tables below. All four of these marks are for whiskey and are in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 7-9, Exs. 6-8 (evidencing purchase and thus use of the marks); Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A (evidencing purchase and thus use); Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg

no. 4,684,956) and ¶29, Ex. 28 (App No. 85/544,721).

20. Petitioner Allied Lomar did not file an application for a COLA (certificate of label approval from the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) for COWBOY until May, 2015. Hoffman Decl., ¶16,

Ex. 15 (Petitioner’s COLAs for COWBOY produced in response to request for production).

21. Petitioner Allied Lomar has no evidence of use of COWBOY, independently of the mark

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, prior to 2016 (especially given the lack of a COLA until 2015 and given admission of paragraph 9 above). Hoffman Decl., ¶s 16 and 18, Exs. 15 and 17 (Response to request for production and all COLAs produced by Petitioner for COWBOY).

22. Petitioner’s blended whiskey currently on sale ranges from $19.99 to $34.99 per bottle, depending in part upon the size: 375 ml vs 750 ml. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (documents produced by Petitioner showing its blended whiskey and rye whiskey offered for sale). Petitioner has yet to produce any evidence of its bourbon being on sale. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (no documents produced with

respect to bourbon).

III. SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARDS

Summary judgment must be granted where "there is no genuine issue as to any material fact and ... the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." F. R. Civ. P. 56(c). A primary purpose of this summary judgment procedure is to identify and dispose of factually unsupported claims. Celotex Corp. v. Caterett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265, 106 S.

Ct. 2548 (1986).

To defeat a properly supported summary judgment motion, the non-movant cannot rest on his allegations alone, but must come forward with credible, admissible evidence showing a genuine issue of fact as to each element of his claim. Id. at 324-325. Disputed facts that do not resolve or affect the outcome of the litigation will not preclude the entry of summary

5 | Page judgment. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (I 986). "Where the record taken as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no

'genuine issue for trial,' and the moving party must prevail as a matter of law). Id. at 587.

IV. THERE IS NO LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION OF REGISTRANT’S CALIFORNIA COWBOY WITH PETITIONER’S ALLEGED MARK COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

A. Du Pont Factors

To determine whether the mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY is likely to be confused with

Petitioner’s marks, one looks to the pertinent du Pont factors, which are as follows:

(1) The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression. (2) The similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use. (3) The similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels. (4) The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. "impulse" vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing. (5) The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use). (6) The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods. (7) The nature and extent of any actual confusion. (8) The length of time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent use without evidence of actual confusion. (9) The variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used (house mark, "family" mark, product mark). (10) The market interface between applicant and the owner of a prior mark: (a) a mere "consent" to register or use. (b) agreement provisions designed to preclude confusion, i. e. limitations on continued use of the marks by each party. (c) assignment of mark, application, registration and good will of the related business. (d) laches and estoppel attributable to owner of prior mark and indicative of lack of confusion. (11) The extent to which applicant has a right to exclude others from use of its mark on its goods. (12) The extent of potential confusion, i. e., whether de minimis or substantial. (13) Any other established fact probative of the effect of use.

In re E. I. Du Pont de Nemours & Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 1361, 177 USPQ 563 (CCPA 1973). See also, In re Majestic Distilling Co., Inc., 315 F.3d 1311, 65 USPQ2d 1201 (Fed. Cir. 2003).

6 | Page

Not all of the DuPont factors may be relevant or of equal weight in a given case, and "any one of

the factors may control a particular case," In re Dixie Rests., Inc., 105 F.3d 1405, 1406-07, 41 USPQ2d

1531, 1533 (Fed.Cir.1997). Although the weight given to the relevant du Pont factors may vary, the first

two factors are key considerations in any likelihood of confusion determination: similarity/dissimilarity

of the marks and relatedness of the goods/services. See, e.g., Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard

Paper Co., 544 F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (C.C.P.A. 1976) (“The fundamental inquiry

mandated by § 2(d) goes to the cumulative effect of differences in the essential characteristics of the

goods and differences in the marks”); In re Majestic Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 65 USPQ2d 1201,

1203 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Thor Tech, Inc., 90 USPQ2d 1634, 1635 (TTAB 2009).

B. Here CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Sufficiently Different from COWBOY LITTLE BARREL That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion Often the controlling factors are “similarity of the marks and relatedness of the goods.” Coach

Servs., Inc v. Triumph Learning, LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting Herbko Int’l,

Inc. v. Kappa Books. Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164 (Fed. Cir. 2002)). "Not all of the DuPont factors are

relevant to every case, and only factors of significance to the particular mark need be considered." In

re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1346 (Fed. Cir. 2010). For example, the Board can "focus ... on

dispositive factors, such as similarity of the marks and relatedness of the goods." Herbko Int'l, Inc. v.

Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (citation omitted).

While the goods here may be the same or essentially the same, “whiskey” in Registrant’s

‘545 Registration and “bourbon whiskey” in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, the marks are not close.

Even if one assumes for purposes of argument that the goods are the same and assumes that there is a

complete or substantial overlap of markets, the marks are sufficiently different that there would be no

likelihood of confusion.

The marks are compared “in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and

commercial impression.” du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361. In that vein, “[i]t is well-established that it is

7 | Page

improper to dissect a mark, and that marks must be viewed in their entireties.” Coach Servs., 668

F.3d at 1368 (quoting In re Shell Oil Co., 992 F.2d 1204, 1206 (Fed. Cir. 1993)).

Dissimilarity to the extent here is more than enough to be dispositive as a matter of law. See,

Kellogg Co. v. Pack’em Enters, Inc., 951 F.2d 330, 332, 21 USPQ2d 1142, 1145 (Fed. Cir.

1991)(famous FRUIT LOOPS mark versus FROOTEE ICE; no likelihood of confusion); see also,

Swatch AG v. M. Z. Berger & Co., Inc. 108 USPQ2d 1463 (TTAB 2013) (IWATCH for assorted watches and timekeeping devices not likely to be confused with well-known SWATCH brand, even though goods are the same). As noted by the Board in the Kellogg Co. case:

[c]onsidering the marks in their entireties, ... they differ so substantially in appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression that there is no likelihood that their contemporaneous use by different parties will result in confusion.

Kellogg Co. v. Pack’em Enters, Inc., 951 F.2d 330, 332, 21 USPQ2d 1142, 1145 (Fed. Cir.

1991)(Federal Circuit quoting the Board). See also, Citigroup Inc v. Capital City Bank Group Inc.,

637 F.3d 1344, 1351, 98 USPQ2d 1253, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(Mark CAPITAL CITY BANK for

banking services not confusingly similar to famous mark CITIBANK for the same services

particularly due to word CAPITAL, spelling and no actual confusion in spite of other factors favoring

likelihood of confusion).

Likewise, here, the dissimilarity between CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL is readily apparent.

When comparing the CALIFORNIA COWBOY mark in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration and

the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL of Petitioner’s marks in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and

Petitioner’s ‘912 Application, the comparison cannot focus merely on the common word COWBOY.

Rather, when comparing the marks as a whole, the focus is on the “sound, connotation and

commercial impression” of the marks in their entireties.

When viewing Registrant’s mark as a whole in a light most favorable to Petitioner, the look

and sound are different. Consumers will readily see that there is emphasis on CALIFORNIA in

8 | Page

CALIFORNIA COWBOY, and that the mark connotes a “cowboy from California.” Moreover,

CALIFORNIA comes first in Registrant’s mark. It is a long and alliterative word with COWBOY.

Therefore, even if one were to consider COWBOY as the dominant part of the mark, its domination is

small. CALIFORNIA packs a lot of punch.

By contrast, COWBOY LITTLE BARREL has COWBOY first and connotes and gives the

impression of a craft whiskey, not made in large volume. Since COWBOY comes first in this mark,

the emphasis is different. The sound is different. The commercial impression is different. The only

common thing is COWBOY, which is just not enough to overcome a clear difference in sound,

connotation and commercial impression between the two marks.

Therefore, it is not likely that consumers would confuse CALIFORNIA COWBOY with

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL based on a comparison of the marks, without the need to resort to other

du Pont factors.

C. It Has Already Been Held by a District Court and Affirmed on Appeal that a Third Party’s Mark COWBOY BOURBON Is Not Confusingly Similar to COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

In 2014, Petitioner sued Lone Star for trademark infringement of its COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL for bourbon mark. Hoffman Decl., ¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket sheet for The Texas Litigation). At the time Lone Star was using and is still using COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4

(FAC, ¶s 34-35 allegation/admission by Petitioner that COWBOY BOURBON is on sale as of May 2013;

and Hoffman Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6 (current purchase/on sale information for COWBOY BOURBON).

Specifically, Petitioner asserted its COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark of Petitioner’s ‘811

Registration. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶11). The U.S. District Court for the Western District of

Texas (“District Court”) in The Texas Litigation found that there was no likelihood of confusion between

Lone Star’s mark COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey and Petitioner’s mark COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL for the same goods, bourbon whiskey. See Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment in

case no. 14-cv-1078, dated January 24, 2017, pp. 1-2 (“IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED

9 | Page

that Allied Lomar, Inc. TAKE NOTHING….” And “IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and

DECREED that trademark No. 2,777,811 for “Cowboy Little Barrel” … for bourbon whiskey … has

been abandoned and it is no longer valid.”)); Hoffman Decl., ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict form, Question 1,

Likelihood of Confusion “Do you find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Garrison Brothers’

sale of COWBOY BOURBON created a likelihood of confusion with Allied’s trademark COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL? … ANSWER: NO”).

Petitioner’s appeal was unsuccessful. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶6, Ex. 5 (Decision in The Fifth

Circuit appeal).

Given the “no likelihood of confusion” result in the Allied Lomar v Lone Star case where the

alleged infringing mark COWBOY BOURBON was much closer to Petitioner’s COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL and the goods were identical, it is evident that there is no likelihood of confusion here.

D. Several Other du Pont Factors Favor a Finding of No Likelihood of Confusion

Du Pont Factors (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (13) also favor a finding of no likelihood of confusion, as explained below.

1. Factor (4): The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. "impulse" vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing.

Petitioner’s blended whiskey currently on sale ranges from $19.99 to $34.99 per bottle, depending in part upon the size: 375 ml vs 750 ml. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (documents produced

by Petitioner showing its blended whiskey and rye whiskey offered for sale). Petitioner has yet to produce

any evidence of its bourbon being on sale. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (no documents produced with

respect to bourbon).

Whiskey, and in particular costing about $20 to $35, is not an impulse buy. Whiskey comes in several types: blended whiskey, rye whiskey, bourbon whiskey, scotch whiskey, etc. See, 27 CFR §5.22.

Given the price of whiskey and the several different types, there is at some reasonable purchaser care exercised by whiskey drinkers beyond an impulse buy.

10 | Page

2. Factor (5): The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use) COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (and COWBOY) are not famous. The length of use since abandonment is not that long, i.e., since September 29, 2016. (See below re abandonment and COLA.) No evidence of sales, ongoing sales or evidence of significant sales has been produced even though

Registrant served discovery requests for same on June 17, 2020. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 17-19, Exs. 16-18.

The web pages produced by Petitioner are for rye whiskey and blended whiskey, not the bourbon whiskey goods in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (Petitioner’s documents).

Moreover, the mark is not strong because it was abandoned and had years of nonuse. See,

Hoffman Decl., ¶s 2-4, Exs.1-3 (Order denying JMOL, Verdict and Judgment in The Texas

Litigation). Petitioner has also admitted that the mark was abandoned. See, e.g., Hoffman Decl., ¶28,

Ex. 27 (“Response,” dkt no. 25, filed 11/22/2019, p. 1, lines 14-17 in Cancellation Proceeding No.

92060851 against Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration).

Further, Petitioner’s mark is not strong as there are several users of marks with the word

“COWBOY” therein in International Class 033. (See Section 3 below re Factor (6).) Moreover,

Petitioner has admitted it did not start up sales again of the asserted marks COWBOY and

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL until at least September 29, 2016. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex. 23

(Interrogatory responses nos. 3 and 5).

In sum, Petitioner’s mark is not famous, Petitioner has provided no evidence of actual sales (no invoices or the like), and Petitioner’s use, to the extent there is any, is at most about four years.

3. Factor (6): The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods.

There are several users of COWBOY for the same goods or similar goods (whiskey, spirits and other alcohol in class 033) as Petitioner. In the first chart below, CHART OF COWBOY FOR

WHISKEY USERS, all four of these marks are for whiskey and are in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 7-9, Exs. 6-

8; Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A.

One of the users in the chart above is Lone Star Distillery, LLC (dba Garrison Brothers Distillery)

which has used and is using COWBOY BOURBON and which filed an application on the mark

COWBOY BOURBON as shown in the CHART OF COWBOY FOR WHISKEY USERS. Hoffman

Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6.

Another user is LeVecke Corporation which uses PANIOLO which means “cowboy” in

Hawaiian. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (label images and purchase information); ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg No.

4,684,956, translation statement: “The English translation of “Paniolo” in the mark is “cowboy”);

Hoffman Decl., ¶11, Ex. 10 (Merriam-Webster definition of “Paniolo” as Hawaiian for “cowboy”) and

¶10, Ex. 9 (Dictionary.com defining “Paniolo” as “a person who herds cattle; cowboy.”). In addition to

the dictionary definition and meaning of PANIOLO, the PANIOLO front and rear label make it evident to

purchasers that PANIOLO means COWBOY. See, PANIOLO whiskey lavel with a photo of a cowboy on

the label and the tagline below PANIOLO on the label: “The Spirit of the Hawaiian Cowboy.” Hoffman

Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (front and rear labels of PANIOLO whiskey).

As shown in the chart, COWBOY COUNTRY and GRIFF’S COWBOY WHISKEY are also

12 | Page

current users of COWBOY for whiskey. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶9, Ex. 8; Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A.

There are also several other users and registrants of marks with COWBOY therein in

International Class 033, including for wine as shown in the chart below:

All four wines in the table are still on sale using the marks therein. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 12-15, Exs. 11-14.

Whiskeys and wines are often sold by the same sellers. There are many sellers of both wine and

whiskey. In fact, Petitioner produced web site page printouts displaying its whiskey and COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL. All fourteen of these sites that Petitioner produced web pages for also offer wine.

Hoffman Decl., ¶20, Ex. 19; and see ¶19, Ex. 18 (Petitioner’s produced website print outs).

Moreover, BevMo, Cask Cartel, Ray’s Wine and Spirits, Spirits & Spice, Total Wine & More and

WineDeals.com also sell both whiskey and wine. Hoffman Decl., ¶22, Ex. 21. Therefore, there is no

doubt that wine and whiskey are often sold in the same channels of trade. All of the users of COWBOY

listed in the above table have U.S. trademark registrations back to 2007-2009 and 2013. Hoffman Decl.,

¶s 33-36, Exs. 32-35 (Reg. Nos. 3512066, 3589200, 3228971 and 4399898).

Even if the complete dissimilarity of the marks CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL alone were not dispositive, the weakness of the word COWBOY in the alcohol goods

is apparent given the other users of COWBOY in whiskey and bourbon products. In sum, there are many

users of COWBOY in their marks for whiskey and other alcohol in International Class 033. For these

reasons, the word COWBOY is commonly used in class 033 and has very little strength therein.

13 | Page

4. Factor (7): The nature and extent of any actual confusion.

No evidence of any actual confusion has been observed by Registrant and no evidence of any actual confusion has been provided by Petitioner. Szafarski Decl., ¶2; Hoffman Decl., ¶18. This factor favors a no likelihood of confusion finding.

5. Factor (8): The length of time during and conditions under which there has been concurrent use without evidence of actual confusion.

The parties have used the same marks in the same channels of trade for at least one and a half years. Szafarski Decl., ¶2. While this time may not seem long, when one considers that use has been in some of the same stores, it becomes more significant. Hoffman Decl., ¶21, Ex. 20 (see, e.g., COWBOY

search results at woodencork.com, displaying COWBOY LITTLE BARREL rye whiskey and

CALIFORNIA COWBOY whiskey; similar result at delmesaliquor.com. This factor favors a finding of

no likelihood of confusion.

6. Factor (13): Any other established fact probative of the effect of use. The goods in question are whiskey, a distilled spirit, regulated by the TTB. Under TTB regulations, the label must have brand name (27 CFR §5.34), name and address of the bottler (27 CFR

§5.36(a)) and other information. The label is submitted for a “COLA” (Certification of Label Approval) and must be on the bottle. For whiskey, there must also be an age statement where the whiskey has not been aged for at least four years, and the same is true for blended whiskeys if the youngest whiskey is not more than four years old. 27 CFR 5.40(a). Under 27 CFR §5.22, the standards to be able to call the spirit

“whisky” and each type of whisky (such as “bourbon whisky,” “rye whisky” and “corn whisky”) are set forth in detail as to proof, mash ingredients, barrels or containers, time in the barrel or container, and other factors.

Given the TTB requirements for whiskey labelling, there are further ways for whiskey purchasers to distinguish the Registrant’s goods from the Petitioner’s goods. And given that du Pont factors (4), (5),

(6), (7), (8) and (13) also strongly favor a finding of no likelihood of confusion, there is no likelihood of confusion.

14 | Page

E. Registrant’s Mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Also Not Confusingly Similar to COWBOY LITTLE BARREL in Petitioner’s ‘912 Application

Petitioner also seeks to cancel Registrant’s ‘545 Registration based on Petitioner’s ‘912

Application. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is on the same mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL as in

Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration discussed above. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application was filed well after

Registrant’s ‘545 Registration. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is for “alcoholic beverages, except beer,” which is broader than Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration for bourbon whiskey. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application claims first use in commerce in 2016.

Regardless of whether Petitioner’s priority claim is proper (given the abandonment discussed herein), there is no likelihood of confusion under 2(d) for the same reasons as set forth in Sections A to D above with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration.

F. Conclusion

For the above reasons, including that the significant differences in appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression between Registrant’s CALIFORNIA COWBOY and

Petitioner’s COWBOY LITTLE BARREL strongly favor Registrant, Registrant is entitled to summary judgment on the 2(d) grounds with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and

Petitioner’s ‘912 Application.

Moreover, even assuming the undiscussed factors all favor Petitioner, factors (4), (5), (6),

(7), (8) and (13) also favor a finding of no likelihood of confusion. Factor (6) very strongly favors

Registrant Szafarski where it is clear that there are a number of users of similar marks having

COWBOY therein on the same and on similar goods. When one further considers that whiskey is not an impulse buy and that COWBOY LITTLE BARREL is not famous, that there is no actual confusion, and that the TTB labelling requirements are strict, Registrant is entitled to summary

judgment on the 2(d) grounds with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and Petitioner’s ‘912

Application.

V. PETITIONER’S CLAIMS OF RIGHTS IN THE ALLEGED COMMON LAW MARK “COWBOY” AND ALLEGED LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION WITH CALIFORNIA COWBOY BOTH FAIL IN VIEW OF PREVIOUSLY EXISTING AND EXTENSIVE THIRD PARTY PRIOR RIGHTS AND FOR OTHER REASONS

A. Petitioner Lacks Any Rights in COWBOY

As explained in Section IV.D.3. above, there are many users of marks having COWBOY therein for whiskey, wine and other alcohol in International Class 033. For this reason, Petitioner cannot have rights in COWBOY alone as a mark for alcohol.

1. It Is Not Possible for Petitioner to Have Rights in COWBOY Alone Given the Prior Use and Application of COWBOY BOURBON and The Texas Litigation

One of the users of COWBOY (referred to in Section IV.D.3. above) is Lone Star which has used and is using COWBOY BOURBON. Lone Star filed a federal trademark application on February 16,

2012. Hoffman Decl., ¶29, Ex. 28 (Lone Star’s App. No. 85/544,721). Lone Star started use at least as early as 2013. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶s 34-35: Petitioner’s admission of Lone Star’s use of

COWBOY BOURBON). The mark COWBOY BOURBON is shown in the above CHART OF

COWBOY FOR WHISKEY USERS and is still in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6 (evidence of current use of COWBOY BOURBON).

Petitioner also admitted that Lone Star has been using COWBOY as the dominant part of

COWBOY BOURBON. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (Petitioner’s admission of use of COWBOY

BOURBON in FAC, pp. 10-11, ¶s 36-38). Petitioner’s claim of rights in COWBOY and infringement by

Lone Star failed and this failure is subsumed in the judgment that Petitioner take nothing in The Texas

Litigation. Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment). The issue of who had superior rights in COWBOY was litigated as it was in Petitioner’s FAC. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶s 13-14, 55). And it would be essential to a judgment in that case to have denied any rights in COWBOY to Lone Star. As noted by the

Federal Circuit, “[t]he principle of Blonder-Tongue Labs., Inc. v. University of Illinois Foundation, 402

U.S. 313, 91 S.Ct. 1434, 28 L.Ed.2d 788, 169 USPQ 513 (1971), respecting collateral estoppel also applies to unenforceability. General Electro Music Corp. v. Samick Music Corp., 19 F. 3d 1405, 1413

16 | Page

(Fed. Cir. 1994). Petitioner had a jury trial and an appeal in The Texas Litigation and lost to Lone Star. It

had a full and fair opportunity to litigate this issue.

“[I]ssues which are actually and necessarily determined by a court of competent jurisdiction are

normally conclusive in a subsequent suit involving the parties to the prior litigation.” Mother's

Restaurants Incorporated v. Mama's Pizza, Inc., 723 F.2d 1566, 1569 (Fed. Cir. 1983). Therefore,

Petitioner is precluded from asserting herein that it has superior rights in COWBOY as compared to Lone

Star’s rights.

Under the doctrine of merger and bar, Petitioner lost to Lone Star. See, e.g., Migra v. Warren City

School Dist. Bd. of Educ., 465 U.S. 75, 77 n. 1, 104 S.Ct. 892, 79 L.Ed.2d 56 (1984) ("Claim preclusion

therefore encompasses the law of merger and bar.") Therefore, Lone Star’s rights are superior to

Petitioner’s rights. Accordingly, collateral estoppel applies to bar Petitioner from asserting that it has rights to COWBOY. See, e.g., Parklane Hosiery Co. v. Shore, 439 U.S. 322, 326-328 (1979)(mutuality of parties is not required for collateral estoppel).

Petitioner was also found to have abandoned its usage in The Texas Litigation. Hoffman Decl., ¶s

3-4, Exs. 2-3. Petitioner admitted this abandonment in cancellation proceeding no. 92060851. See

Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in particular, dkt no 25,

Petitioner’s Response at p. 1, lines 14-17).

Petitioner did not apply for a COLA on a label with COWBOY alone until 2015. See Hoffman

Decl., ¶16, Ex. 15. Petitioner has provided no evidence that Petitioner used COWBOY alone on a label for almost twenty years without a COLA from the TTB. Id. This is yet another reason that Petitioner

abandoned its alleged mark and/or had inferior rights to Lone Star and therefore no rights in COWBOY.

Petitioner even admitted no usage of COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE BARREL from and including

2012 to September 29, 2016. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex. 23 (Interrogatory Responses 3 and 5). This well

over three-year period kicks in the presumption of abandonment. 15 USC §1127.

Because of Petitioner’s abandonment, and its admission of the usage of COWBOY BOURBON

by Lone Star, Lone Star’s usage predates any alleged rights of Petitioner in COWBOY, and thus

17 | Page

precludes Petitioner from having any such rights in COWBOY. “Undoubtedly, the general rule is that, as between conflicting claimants to the right to use the same mark, priority of appropriation determines the question.” United Drug Co. v. Theodore Rectanus Co., 248 U.S. 90, 100, 248 US 90, 39 S. Ct. 48, 63 L.

Ed. 141 (1918).

2. It Is Not Possible for Petitioner to Have Rights in COWBOY Alone Given the Prior Use and Registration of PANIOLO Which Means “COWBOY”

Another COWBOY user for whiskey is LeVecke Corporation. LeVecke uses PANIOLO which

means “cowboy” in Hawaiian. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (evidence of current use of PANIOLO)

Hoffman Decl., ¶s 10-11, Exs. 9-10 (dictionary meaning of PANIOLO in Hawaiian is “cowboy”).

LeVecke also filed a federal trademark application on May 9, 2011 and was issued a federal registration.

Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg. No. 4,684,956). PANIOLO’s registration issued February 10, 2015, and its Section 8 & 15 affidavit has been filed and accepted by the USPTO. The registration is incontestable.

See Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg No. 4,684,956). Further, because Petitioner abandoned its mark as held in The Texas Litigation and as admitted by Petitioner in the cancellation proceeding against

Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, PANIOLO has superior rights to Petitioner. See Section V.A.1. above and see Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in particular, dkt no 25,

Petitioner’s Response at p. 1, lines 14-17). Petitioner has no rights in COWBOY alone.

3. There Is Also a Pending Application No. 86336251 Filed July 14, 2014 on COWBOY by Domino Brands, LLC by Petitioner’s Counsel Which Is on Bourbon Whiskey and Which Has Been Rejected and Suspended

A company called Domino Brands, LLC filed a trademark application on COWBOY serial no.

86336251 (Domino’s ‘251 Application) for bourbon whiskey on July 14, 2014. Petitioner claims that

Domino Brands, LLC owns the rights and Petitioner has an exclusive distributor and marketing agent relationship with Domino Brands, LLC but has failed to produce any agreement. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex.

23 (Interrogatory Response No. 2).

Domino’s ‘251 Application on COWBOY was rejected under §2(d) over application serial no.

85316043 on PANIOLO for whiskey and application serial no. 85544721 on COWBOY BOURBON for

18 | Page

whiskey, filed February 16, 2012. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 31-32, Exs. 30-31 (App. No. 86336251 and Office

Action dated August 18, 2014, especially first page, “PRIOR-FILED APPLICATIONS” section).

4. Petitioner cannot have rights in COWBOY alone given many users thereof

The charts and text of Section IV.D.3. above set forth several other users of marks for various

alcohol including whiskey and wine that have COWBOY therein including:

Mark Owner Goods COWBOY BOURBON Lone Star Distillery, LLC Whiskey PANIOLO LeVecke Corporation Whiskey (means “COWBOY” in English) COWBOY COUNTRY Cowboy Country Distillery Whiskey GRIFF’S COWBOY WHISKEY Griffin Ranch Micro Distillery, Whiskey LLC ANGELS & COWBOYS Cannonball Wine & Spirits, Wine LLC PURPLE COWBOY Vintage Wine Estates, Inc. Wine COWBOY RED Maple Creek Partners, LLC Wine VINTAGE COWBOY Pozo Valley LLC Wine See, Section IV.D.3. above, Hoffman Decl., ¶s 7-15, Exs. 6-14, and Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A.

These third-party uses include ANGELS & COWBOYS, PURPLE COWBOY, COWBOY RED

and VINTAGE COWBOY registered 2007 to 2009 and 2013, well before any alleged use in commerce

of COWBOY by Petitioner. All of the above listed marks are still in use. See Section IV.D.3. above.

In view of this many third-party users of COWBOY for whiskey and other alcohol, Petitioner lacks sufficient rights in COWBOY to assert a §2(d) claim against Registrant’s ‘545 Registration.

5. Conclusion: Petitioner Has No Rights in COWBOY Alone

In view of the above, especially the prior rights of others in PANIOLO and in COWBOY

BOURBON, Petitioner has no rights in COWBOY. In addition, given the many users of marks for whiskey and wine with COWBOY in them, it is not possible for Petitioner to have any rights in the asserted common law mark COWBOY. Moreover, any allegation of superior rights (priority) over

COWBOY BOURBON or over PANIOLO or various other users and registrations is specious in view of

The Texas Litigation, the admission of abandonment of COWBOY LITTLE BARREL and other reasons set forth above.

19 | Page

B. CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Sufficiently Different from COWBOY Given Petitioner’s Very Narrow Rights, If Any, Such That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion

Petitioner asserts that it has common law rights in the term COWBOY for whiskey or bourbon.

Given the many users of COWBOY for whiskey and wine in International Class 033, Petitioner cannot have any exclusive rights in the asserted common law mark COWBOY. CALIFORNIA COWBOY is different in appearance, sound and meaning from just COWBOY. As noted above, CALIFORNIA is a long, alliterative word. Moreover, Petitioner’s rights in COWBOY, if any, are extremely narrow given the many users of marks with COWBOY for whiskey and wine. The remaining du Pont factor discussion is the same as explained above in Section IV. Due to the weakness of COWBOY and differences in the marks, there would be no likelihood of confusion between CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY.

The situation in the present cancellation proceeding is similar to that of the Citigroup Inc case. In that case, Citigroup Inc. opposed registration of CAPITAL CITY BANK in view of its mark CITIBANK.

Therefore, the Federal Circuit compared CITIBANK and CAPITAL CITY BANK, and found that the word “Capital” in front of “City Bank” along with a small difference in spelling/meaning was sufficient to

distinguish CAPITAL CITY BANK from CITIBANK, even though the services were the same and even

though CITIBANK is very famous. Citigroup Inc v. Capital City Bank Group Inc., 637 F.3d 1344, 1351,

98 USPQ2d 1253, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(Mark CAPITAL CITY BANK for banking services not

confusingly similar to famous mark CITIBANK for banking services particularly due to word CAPITAL,

spelling/meaning and no actual confusion in spite of other factors favoring confusion).

Here, as explained above, where Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY is not famous and in fact is weak given the many third party users of COWBOY in marks for the same and related goods (whiskey and wine), Petitioner’s 2(d) claim fails.

VI. PETITIONER’S FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN CLAIM IS NOT TENABLE

Petitioner asserts that Registrant’s mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY is misleading to consumers.

Petition, ¶5. Specifically, Petitioner asserts that “use of the term “California” in Respondent’s mark falsely suggests that the goods originate from Petitioner, which is also located in California.” This claim

20 | Page

cannot stand. The mark, on its face, means CALIFORNIA COWBOY, i.e., a cowboy from California.

There is no credible evidence that the mark is misleading. “California” is only suggesting that the

Cowboy is a Californian, and not the origin of the goods. “California,” as used on the label, does not identify a place. It is a spirit and to the extent it identifies anything, it identifies where the cowboy is from. Further, the TTB approved the label. Hoffman Decl., ¶23, Ex. 22 (Registrant’s COLA from TTB).

The TMEP provides as follows:

To establish a prima facie case for refusal to register a mark under the "wines and spirits" provision of §2(a), the following is required: (1) The primary significance of the relevant term or design is geographic, e.g., a place name, abbreviation, nickname, or symbol; or an outline or map of a geographic area (see TMEP §§1210.02(a)–1210.02(b)(iv)); (2) Purchasers would be likely to think that the goods originate in the geographic place identified in the mark, i.e., purchasers would make a goods/place association (see TMEP §§1210.04–1210.04(d)); (3) The goods do not originate in the place identified in the mark (see TMEP §1210.03); (4) A purchaser's erroneous belief as to the geographic origin of the goods would materially affect the purchaser's decision to buy the goods (see TMEP §§1210.05(c)–1210.05(c)(ii)); and (5) The mark was first used in commerce by the applicant on or after January 1, 1996.

TMEP §1210.08(a).

Here, the primary significance of CALIFORNIA COWBOY is not the name of a place. There is

no place alleged to be named CALIFORNIA COWBOY.

Moreover, purchasers viewing the mark would not be likely to think the goods originate in

California given the mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY. The mark merely suggests a toughness and

coolness of a cowboy from California and does not indicate the origin of the goods to a purchaser.

Further, the COLA and label themselves prominently display near the bottom that the whiskey is

bottled in California and distilled in Kentucky. Hoffman Decl., ¶23, Ex. 22.

Last, there is no evidence that it would be material to a purchaser’s decision to buy the goods.

California is not renown for whiskey production. Kentucky and Tennessee are. However, the western

U.S. (of which California is a part) is known for cowboys. See, Dictionary Definitions of COWBOY.

Hoffman Decl., ¶25, Ex. 24.

VII. CONCLUSION

In view of the foregoing, and in particular important differences in the marks, many third-party users of COWBOY for whiskey and wine, Petitioner’s admitted abandonment of its mark, and limited if any evidence of use thereof, as well as the Western District of Texas decision holding that there was no likelihood of confusion of the mark COWBOY BOURBON with Petitioner’s alleged mark, granting this motion for summary judgment is respectfully requested.

Respectfully submitted,

On behalf of Registrant/Respondent JEFFREY SZAFARSKI

IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD

______Allied Lomar, Inc.,

Petitioner, Cancellation No. 92073878 v. Registration No. 5,811,545

Jeffrey Szafarski,

Registrant. ______

DECLARATION OF DAVID L. HOFFMAN

I, David L. Hoffman, do hereby declare:

1. I am an attorney duly admitted to practice before all the courts of the State of California

and I am the attorney of record herein on behalf of Jeffrey Szafarski, the Registrant and moving party.

2. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the docket sheet for the case of

Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Case No. 14-CA-1078,

Western District of Texas (“The Texas Litigation”) filed in 2014 by Allied Lomar, Inc., the Petitioner herein, against Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery (“Lone Star”) for trademark infringement of Registrant’s trademark registration no. 2,777,811 (“Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration”). I

downloaded the docket sheet from PACER. It shows the parties, the case number, that suit was filed on

July 15, 2014 (see dkt #1), that judgment was entered January 24, 2017 (see dkt #170), that an appeal was

filed on February 22, 2017 (see dkt #179) by Petitioner, and that on August 9, 2018 the district court

1 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman received a certified copy of the appellate court’s judgment affirming the district court judgment. No

further appeal was taken.

3. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the jury verdict dated January 11, 2017 against Petitioner in The Texas Litigation that there was no likelihood of confusion between Lone Star’s mark COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey and Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (Question/Answer 1) and that Petitioner had abandoned its mark in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration (Question/Answer 2).

4. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the judgment entered January 24, 2017 in The Texas Litigation that Petitioner take nothing

and that Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration is invalid due to abandonment of the mark COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL.

5. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the first amended complaint (FAC) filed February 10, 2015 by Petitioner in The Texas

Litigation. The FAC shows assertion by Petitioner of trademark rights in COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

and COWBOY (e.g., paragraphs 2, 13-14), admission that Petitioner’s rights in COWBOY are asserted

based on the label COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (e.g., paragraph 14 on page 4 and images at top of page

5), admission that Lone Star has been using COWBOY BOURBON for whiskey with an emphasis on

COWBOY (paragraphs 27, 36-39 and 41-46), admission that Lone Star filed a COLA application on

March 5, 2012 for COWBOY BOURBON for whiskey and approved on April 3, 2012 (paragraphs 29-30)

and that Lone Star had its first sale May 10, 2013 (paragraph 34). The First Claim for Relief is for

Trademark Infringement under 15 U.S.C. §1114, et seq. In paragraph 55, Allied Lomar claims the mark

COWBOY as well as COWBOY LITTLE BARREL and claims that Lone Star infringes.

6. Attached hereto as Exhibit 5 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from the

Fifth Circuit’s website of the decision on appeal of The Texas Litigation, Allied Lomar,

Incorporated v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Appeal No. 17-

2 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman 50148, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, July 18, 2018. The decision upholds

the verdict and judgment. Of particular note is footnote 1 (on page 2) where Allied Lomar’s post abandonment/post lawsuit use would require a ruling on admissibility. Also note that Lone Star disputed “Palatella’s [Allied Lomar’s principal’s] reliance on a bourbon shortage as a reason for

Allied Lomar’s failure to sell “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon after 2009,” and that

Palatella gave inconsistent testimony (page 3, second to last paragraph).

7. Attached hereto as Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy of images of the front label of

Lone Star’s COWBOY BOURBON (first two pages), the side panel of the COWBOY BOURBON box showing the mark (third page), the cover of a pamphlet (Fifth release pamphlet) shipped with the goods in

the box and showing the mark (fourth page), UPS label showing shipping information and ship date of

August 25, 2020 (fifth page), and my purchase/order information of the COWBOY BOURBON bourbon whiskey from CaskCartel at CaskCartel.com on August 25, 2020 (sixth to eleventh pages).

8. Attached hereto as Exhibit 7 is a true and correct copy of images of the front label of

PANIOLO whiskey (mark PANIOLO; photo of cowboy; tagline “The Spirit of the Hawaiian Cowboy”; first page), rear label (mark PANIOLO; tagline “The Spirit of the Hawaiian Cowboy”; story of

Vaqueros/PANIOLOs; second page), my purchase/order information of the PANIOLO whiskey from wine.com on August 22, 2020 (third to seventh pages) and PANIOLO whiskey web page at www.PanioloWhiskey.com/team as downloaded by me on August 21, 2020.

9. Attached hereto as Exhibit 8 is a true and correct copy of web pages of Spirit Hub

(www.SpiritHub.com) as downloaded by me on September 2, 2020 showing COWBOY COUNTRY

DISTILLING CO.’s Gold Spur Special Reserve Corn Whiskey in my cart at Spirit Hub. The labelling shows use of COWBOY COUNTRY (below the logo on the product image; first two pages), mark

COWBOY COUNTRY when goods of COWBOY COUNTRY DISTILLING CO. are displayed at Spirit

Hub (second and third page), and the whiskey in my shopping cart showing on sale at Spirit Hub (fourth

3 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman to sixth pages). I was not able to complete the purchase because Spirit Hub does not current ship to my state, California.

10. Attached hereto as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct screenshot I took on August 30, 2020 from Dictionary.com’s definition of PANIOLO at www.dictionary.com/browse/paniolo defining

PANIOLO as “a person who herds cattle; cowboy” and indicating of Hawaiian origin.

11. Attached hereto as Exhibit 10 is a true and correct printout I made on August 30, 2020 of

Merriam-Webster’s definition of PANIOLO located on its website at the web page www.Mirriam-

Webster.com/dictionary/paniolo?src=search-dict-box defining PANIOLO as “cowboy” and indicating it is of Hawaiian origin.

12. Attached hereto as Exhibit 11 is a true and correct copy of images of the front and rear labels of a wine using the mark ANGELS & COWBOYS (first two pages), and shipping and my purchase/order information for the ANGELS & COWBOYS wine from BevMo at BevMo.com on August

26, 2020 (third to sixth pages).

Wines/WineDeals at winedeals.com on August 26, 2020 (second to fourth pages).

14. Attached hereto as Exhibit 13 is a true and correct copy of shipping and my purchase/order information for COWBOY RED wine from Maple Creek Winery at

MapleCreekWine.com on August 26, 2020. COWBOY RED is displayed on the photo of the goods. The goods have not arrived as of the execution of this declaration.

15. Attached hereto as Exhibit 14 is a true and correct copy of images of the front and rear labels of a wine using the mark VINTAGE COWBOY (first two pages), and shipping and my purchase/order information of August 31, 2020 for the VINTAGE COWBOY wine from Vintage

Cowboy Winery as well as a flyer showing the VINTAGE COWBOY winery mark received with the goods (third to fifth pages) and a web page from the winery showing the goods and mark (sixth page).

4 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman 16. Attached hereto as Exhibit 15 is a true and correct copy of Petitioner’s Certificate of

Label Approvals (COLAs) for COWBOY for whiskey products issued by the TTB, as produced in discovery by Petitioner in this proceeding. The earliest of these COLAs was filed on May 13, 2015 and issued June 4, 2015.

17. Attached hereto as Exhibit 16 is a true and correct copy of the face sheet and proof of service of document requests entitled Respondent/Registrant’s First Set of Requests for Documents

(“Request”) served on June 17, 2020 on Petitioner (via counsel Mr. Reidl).

18. Attached hereto as Exhibit 17 is a true and correct copy of relevant pages of the

Petitioner’s Responses to Requests for Production (“Response”) to the Request. The Response lists out the requests. No documentation (e.g., invoices) of any sales of COWBOY were produced. I sent a reminder via email to Mr. Reidl who merely responded that he is still working on it. To date, no invoices or other documents evidencing actual sales of any whiskey by Petitioner using the mark COWBOY have been produced. Petitioner has not produced or disclosed any actual confusion evidence.

19. Attached hereto as Exhibit 18 is a true and correct copy of all of the documents produced by Petitioner in response to request no. 21 (prices for Petitioner’s whiskey products using alleged marks), request no. 25 (websites etc. selling Petitioner’s whiskey products using alleged marks) and request no.

33 (channels of trade for Petitioner’s whiskey products using alleged marks). All of the documents show

Petitioner’s products displayed in online stores (fourteen total stores). These web pages reflect rye whiskey and blended whiskey but not bourbon whiskey as recited in the Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration.

20. Attached hereto as Exhibit 19 is a true and correct copy of printouts I made from all fourteen of the web stores in Petitioner’s produced documents of Exhibit 19 showing that all fourteen offer wine (as well as whiskey). These web stores are as follows:

24. Attached hereto as Exhibit 23 is a true and correct copy of Petitioner’s Interrogatory

Responses as served on me on July 17, 2020. Response no. 2 refers to Petitioner being “exclusive distributor and marketing agent for Domino Brands, LLC,” and Domino Brands, LLC being the owner of

6 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman U.S. Registration No. 2,777,811 as well as the asserted COWBOY common law rights. It shows Allied

Lomar as the owner of Petitioner Allied Lomar’s U.S. Application No. 88/775912. Petitioner produced no

documents as to Allied Lomar’s exclusive distributorship and marketing agent relationship with Domino

Brands, LLC. Response no. 3 (copied below) refers to Petitioner selling “whiskey” using the mark

COWBOY. Response No. 5 (copied below) indicates first use of Petitioner’s COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL and/or COWBOY alleged marks since and including 2012 only started as of September 29,

2016.

Interrogatory no. 3 and Petitioner’s response:

Interrogatory no. 5 and Petitioner’s response:

25. Attached hereto as Exhibit 24 are true and correct printouts of dictionary definitions of

COWBOY that I obtained on August 30, 2020 from Cambridge English Dictionary, Dictionary.com and

7 | Page Declaration of David L. Hoffman Oxford Advanced Learner’s Dictionary which all define COWBOY as a man who usually rides a horse and whose job it is to tend cattle, especially in the “western U.S.” or “western parts of the U.S.”

26. Attached hereto as Exhibit 25 is a true and correct copy of a Petition for Cancellation filed by Lone Star against Allied Lomar, Inc’s U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,777,811 on February

10, 2015 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851) alleging, among other things, that the ‘811

Registration is invalid due to abandonment of the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark.

27. Attached hereto as Exhibit 26 is a true and correct copy of a “Response to the TTAB

Status Update Request Dated October 18, 2019” as filed October 21, 2019 by Lone Star in Cancellation

Proceeding No. 92060851 indicating that Lone Star prevailed in The Texas Litigation, and that “[t]he jury

found that Respondent had abandoned the trademark on which the Registration is based and the District

Court entered an order that the Registration be cancelled.” (Paragraph 3) The Response further indicates

that the Fifth Circuit affirmed the judgment, and that the time to file a petition for certiorari passed on

October 17, 2018. (Paragraph 4)

28. Attached hereto as Exhibit 27 is a true and correct copy of a “Response to TTAB Order”

as filed November 22, 2019 by Allied Lomar, Inc in Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 admitting

18, 2018 indicating that Application No. 86336251 on COWBOY for bourbon whiskey is potentially rejected on Section 2(d) grounds of a likelihood of confusion with PANIOLO for whiskey in Registration

1 INTRODUCTION 2 1. This is an action to redress violations of the federal trademark and unfair 3 competition laws (15 U.S.C. § 1114 et seq., and § 1125 et seq.), as the result of Defendants’ 4 willful and unauthorized use of Allied’s registered trademark and trade name, as more fully set 5 forth herein. Allied seeks injunctive relief restraining Defendants’ ongoing and continued willful 6 infringement of Allied’s trademarks and trade names, as well as damages that are the direct and 7 proximate result of the infringement. In addition to damages and permanent injunctive relief, 8 Allied seeks an accounting, the imposition of a constructive trust upon Defendants’ illegal 9 profits, and other relief. 10 THE PARTIES 11 2. Plaintiff Allied Lomar, Inc., is a California corporation organized and existing 12 under the laws of California with a principal place of business at 401 California Dr., Suite 500, 13 Burlingame, California 94010. Allied is in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing 14 distilled spirits, including bourbon and whiskey under the federally registered trademark 15 “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” mark. 16 3. Upon information and belief, Lone Star Distillery, LLC, dba Garrison Brothers Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 Distillery, is a company organized an existing under the laws of Texas, with a principal place of 18 business at 1827 Hye Albert Rd., Hye, Texas 78635, and a post office box address of P.O. Box 19 5932, Austin, Texas 78763. Allied is in the business of selling, marketing, and distributing 20 distilled spirits, including bourbon and whiskey under the unregistered “COWBOY BOURBON” 21 and “COWBOY” marks. 22 4. The true names and capacities, whether individual, corporate, associate or 23 otherwise, of Defendants DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, are unknown to Allied, who therefore 24 sues said Defendants by such fictitious names. Allied will seek leave of the Court to amend this 25 Complaint when the names of said Defendants have been ascertained. 26 5. Allied is informed and believes, and upon such information and belief alleges, 27 that at all times herein mentioned Defendant DOES 1 through 10, inclusive, were the agents, 28 employees, servants, consultants, principals, employers or masters of each of their Co- -2- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 Defendants and each Defendant has ratified, adopted or approved the acts or omissions 2 hereinafter set forth of the remaining Defendants. Allied is further informed and believes, and 3 upon such information and belief alleges, that each of these fictitiously named Defendants is 4 responsible in some manner for acts and/or omissions herein alleged. 5 6. Upon information and belief, Defendants individually and collectively are 6 involved in the distilling, distribution, marketing and/or sales of distilled spirits, including 7 whiskey marketed and sold using the unregistered name “COWBOY BOURBON,” with an 8 emphasis on the word “COWBOY.” 9 7. Upon information and belief, Defendants have marketed, advertised, sold and 10 offered for sale and intend to continue marketing, advertising, selling and offering to sell their 11 bourbon and whiskey products, including “COWBOY BOURBON” or “COWBOY,” unless 12 enjoined.

13 JURISDICTION AND VENUE 14 8. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 15 U.S.C. § 1121 and 28 U.S.C. 15 § 1338(a), in that this case arises under the trademark laws of the United States. Specifically, 16 this is an action for federal trademark infringement arising under Section 32 of the Lanham Act, Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 15 U.S.C. § 1114 et seq.; and federal law infringement and unfair competition because of false 18 advertising and false designation of origin under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. 19 §1125(a). The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the related unfair competition 20 claims pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §1338(b) because those claims are joined with substantial and 21 related claims brought under the trademark laws. 22 9. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants, and venue is proper in this 23 Judicial District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) because, inter alia, (a) Defendants and/or their 24 agents, are doing business in this District and operating an interactive website; and (b) events 25 giving rise to this lawsuit, as well as substantial injury to Allied, have occurred or will occur in 26 interstate commerce, in the State of Texas, and in the Western District of Texas as a result of 27 Defendants’ violations of the asserted trademark as alleged in detail below.

1 activities in this forum. For example, Defendants advertise their products, including “COWBOY 2 BOURBON” for sale to retail stores and restaurants, bars, hotels, and airports in the state of 3 Texas. 4 10. Venue is proper in this District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1400(a) in that Defendants 5 conduct commercial activities in this District, and pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(c) as Defendants 6 are corporations and are deemed to reside in any judicial district in which it is subject to personal 7 jurisdiction at the time the action is commenced. Defendants sought and obtained transfer of this 8 case to this venue.

9 FACTS 10 A. Allied’s Registered Trademark 11 11. Allied owns a valid federally registered trademark in the United States for the 12 word mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” in International Class 033 for Bourbon Whiskey. 13 U.S. Registration No. 2777811 was filed on February 8, 2001, and registered on October 28, 14 2003, with a first use in commerce at least as early as August 31, 1995. [EXHIBIT 1] 15 12. Allied’s registration for the mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” is valid, 16 subsisting, and conclusive evidence of the validity of the mark, Allied’s ownership of the mark, Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 and Allied’s exclusive right to use the mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” in commerce on or 18 in connection with the goods and services specified therein. 19 13. Allied uses the “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks in 20 commerce as a word mark and a stylized logo in its advertising and sale of bourbon and whiskey 21 and has used the mark in commerce since at least as early as 1995. 22 14. Allied’s labels for “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon and whiskey 23 emphasize the word “COWBOY” in commerce in as a word mark and a stylized logo in its 24 advertising and sale of bourbon and whiskey. For example, Allied’s labels have depicted a 25 silhouette of a cowboy on a horse above the word “COWBOY.” Below are three images of 26 Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” mark used on bottles of bourbon and whiskey. These 27 images are from specimens filed with the USPTO related to U.S. Registration No. 2777811, each 28 of which shows the word COWBOY in larger sized font above the words LITTLE BARREL: -4- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 15. Whiskey is defined in the “Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits” in the Code 13 of Federal Regulations on “Labeling and Advertising of Distilled Spirits.” Title 27 CFR, Part 5. 14 According to Title 27 CFR, Part 5(c), specifically Section 5.22, there are several different 15 “types” of whiskey, including, “bourbon whisky,” “rye whisky,” “wheat whisky,” “malt 16 Gordon & Rees LLP

San Francisco, CA 94111 whisky,” “rye malt whisky,” “corn whisky,” “spirit whisky,” “light whisky,” “Scotch whisky,” 275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 “Irish whisky,” and “Canadian whisky.” The word “COWBOY” is not defined in Section 5.22. 18 The word “COWBOY” does not describe any particular type or attribute of whiskey. Rather, 19 Allied’s use of the word “COWBOY” as a brand refers consumers and distributors of distilled 20 spirits to Allied, the owner of the federally registered trademark as the source. 21 16. Allied has a long history of using the marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY 22 LITTLE BARREL” as an indication of source in marketing and sales of bourbon and whiskey. 23 As a result, consumers, including distributors, have and will continue to associate the marks 24 “COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”, when related to distilled spirits, whiskey, 25 and/or bourbon, with Allied and its federally registered trademark. 26 17. Allied, while based in California, has offered for sale, advertised, and sold 27 distilled spirits domestically and internationally for years. 28 -5- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

EXHIBIT 4 Page 5 of 21 Case 1:14-cv-01078-SS Document 52 Filed 02/10/15 Page 6 of 34

1 18. Allied has offered for sale, advertised, and sold whiskey under the trade names 2 “COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” out of its California offices since at least as 3 early as 1995. 4 19. Allied has transported in interstate commerce bourbon and whiskey under the 5 marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” domestically, and advertised, 6 promoted, and sold bourbon and whiskey under the marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY 7 LITTLE BARREL” internationally in foreign commerce from California. Allied’s “COWBOY 8 LITTLE BARREL” bourbon and whiskey has more than one variety, including Kentucky 9 bourbon and whiskey. Historically, several types of “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon 10 and whiskey have been bottled and labeled in Kentucky, shipped via interstate commerce from 11 Kentucky to California, where Allied stores it in its warehouse before exporting for foreign 12 distribution. 13 20. Allied has the right to expand its market into the United States and into the State 14 of Texas, for Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” branded bourbon and 15 whiskey based on Allied’s federally registered trademark in the United States, which was 16 registered prior to Defendants’ unauthorized use. Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 21. Allied intends to sell bourbon and whiskey under the marks “COWBOY” and 18 “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” domestically, including in the State of Texas, in the immediate 19 future and has been preparing for domestic distribution. Allied has filed for a certificate of label 20 approval (“COLA”) with the United States Department of the Treasury’s Alcohol and Tobacco 21 Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) for its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” branded distilled spirits 22 for sales in the United States. Upon approval of the label, Allied can distribute, advertise, 23 promote, and sell its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”/“COWBOY” branded bourbon and 24 whiskey domestically in all fifty states in the United States, including in the State of Texas. 25 Allied has been working with and will continue to work with distributors to distribute, promote, 26 advertise, and sell its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” branded bourbon and 27 whiskey in the United States, including in the State of Texas. 28 22. Allied has marketed, promoted and advertised “COWBOY LITTLE -6- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 BARREL”/“COWBOY” bourbon and whiskey to distributors of distilled spirits who have 2 expressed an intent to sell and promote “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”/“COWBOY” bourbon 3 and whiskey in the United States, including in the State of Texas, once the TTB approves 4 Allied’s label. 5 23. Upon information and belief, distributors are extremely concerned about investing 6 in, promoting and distributing a brand like Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon 7 and whiskey while a competitor Lone Star is using a confusingly similar “COWBOY” mark to 8 sell its competing brand of bourbon or whiskey. The distilled spirits network is a closely knit 9 industry and Defendants’ sales, promotion, advertising, and intent to continue selling, promoting, 10 and advertising a confusingly similar “COWBOY BOURBON” product undermines and 11 compromises Allied’s credibility in the marketplace.

12 B. Defendants’ Infringing Acts 13 24. Upon information and belief, Defendants founded the Garrison Brothers Distillery 14 in 2005. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY BOURBON” mark began at an unknown date and 15 time, and, upon information and belief, continues today, and will continue into the future if not 16 enjoined. Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 25. Upon information and belief, Defendants individually and collectively are 18 involved in the distilling, distribution, marketing and/or sales of Defendants’ bourbon whiskey 19 marketed and sold using the unregistered name “COWBOY BOURBON.” Allied is informed 20 and believes, and upon that basis alleges, Defendants’ advertisement, promotion, and offers for 21 sale are continuing to the present with the intent to continue into the future if not enjoined. 22 26. Upon information and belief, Defendants advertise and market their whiskey 23 through distributors, in their distillery tasting room, online and through their respective websites 24 and have marketed, sold, and/or distributed their products in at least several states throughout the 25 United States, including “COWBOY BOURBON,” and have expressed an intent to continue 26 selling “COWBOY”-branded straight bourbon whiskey in Texas and eventually everywhere in 27 the United States if not enjoined. 28 27.

1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 29. On March 5, 2012, Defendants filed an application for COLA label approval 16 through the TTB for the fanciful name “COWBOY BOURBON” for the class/type code Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 “Straight Bourbon Whisky” for the brand name “Garrison Brothers.” 18 30. Defendants obtained COLA label approval on or around April 3, 2012. (TTB ID: 19 120650010000777 attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT 2). 20 31. On February 20, 2012, Defendant filed a trademark application for the mark 21 “COWBOY BOURBON” in International Class 33 for Whiskey (US Serial No. 85544721). The 22 application was filed as an “intent-to-use” application under 1(b). Upon information and belief, 23 Defendants have not filed a Statement of Use or specimen showing use of the mark. Defendants 24 disclaimed the word “BOURBON,” which is descriptive of the bourbon whiskey product 25 Defendants sell. 26 32. On, June 29, 2012, the Trademark Examiner refused registration of Defendants’ 27 applied-for trademark application based a likelihood of confusion with Allied’s federally 28 registered trademark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” (U.S. Registration No. 2777811).

1 Examiner recognized the importance of the word “COWBOY” on both Allied’s and Defendants’ 2 labels, stating, “The term COWBOY is the dominant feature in both of the marks.” Thus, 3 Defendants and/or their legal representatives have been aware of Allied’s federally registered 4 trademark for “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” since at least June 29, 2012. 5 33. As of Jan. 26, 2013, Defendants’ Application Serial No. 85544721 was suspended 6 for US Serial Nos. Application Serial Nos. 77628779 and 85316043. As of February 9, 2015, 7 Defendants’ Application Serial No. 85544721 was still suspended based on an August 11, 2014 8 Report. 9 34. Allied is informed and believes, and upon that basis alleges, Defendants’ first 10 sales occurred through a distributor on or around April or May of 2013, about a year after 11 Defendants obtained COLA label approval, and approximately nine or ten months after 12 Defendants’ received notice from the USPTO of Allied’s federally registered trademark. (See 13 e.g., Defendants’ statements on Defendants’ website for “The Cowboy”: “April of 2013 was 14 bittersweet in Hye, Texas. A distributor’s truck arrived and hauled off an amazing little 15 bourbon.” and “The Cowboy rode into these towns on Friday, May 10, 2013, and across the state 16 the next week.” http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy website last visited February 9, 2015.)

Garrison Brothers’ “COWBOY BOURBON” 19 (a.k.a. “Garrison Brothers COWBOY BOURBON Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey”) is 20 advertised as a straight bourbon whiskey as a subset of “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight 21 Bourbon Whiskey.” Defendants have expressed intent to expand its market to sell its 22 “COWBOY BOURBON,” its other Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and every one of its 23 products everywhere in the United States. Defendants have expressed an intent to continue 24 selling its “COWBOY BOURBON” in 2015. (See e.g., Defendants’ statements on Defendants’ 25 website for “The Cowboy”: “It won’t be introduced again until 2015.” 26 http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy website last visited February 9, 2015.) 27 36. Defendants emphasize the word “COWBOY” in its branding, marketing, and 28 advertising and on the labels of Defendants’ whiskey products, displaying the word “COWBOY” -10- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 in all capital letters and in a large font. 2 37. Upon information and belief, Defendants use the word “COWBOY” as shorthand 3 for “COWBOY BOURBON,” which is evidence that the word “COWBOY” is the dominant 4 portion of Defendants’ mark “COWBOY BOURBON.” Defendants also disclaimed 5 “BOURBON” as descriptive in their trademark application. 6 38. Upon information and belief, Defendants emphasize the “COWBOY” word and 7 imagery on Defendants’ marketing, labels, and website materials. Defendants’ website indicates 8 that “The Cowboy” was first sold or distributed in April of 2013, and expected to retail at 9 $159.99 to $169.99. (“The Cowboy” http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy last visited February 10 9, 2015). 11 39. Upon information and belief, Defendants have advertised, marketed, distributed, 12 offered to sell and/or sold and continue to advertise, market, distribute, and/or sell its products, 13 namely whiskey, associated with the deceptively similar “COWBOY” and “COWBOY 14 BOURBON” marks in interstate commerce in several states including Texas and on the internet 15 among other locations, including through the following websites www.garrisonbros.com; 16 https://www.caskers.com/garrison-brothers-texas-straight-bourbon-whiskey/; Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

Further evidence of Defendants’ intent to use the mark in interstate commerce 23 (i.e., distribute and sell outside the State of Texas) is demonstrated by Defendants’ 24 aforementioned trademark application which was signed by Defendants’ Dan Garrison on 25 February 16, 2012, and included the representation of a bona fide intent-to-use: “The applicant 26 has a bona fide intention to use or use through the applicant's related company or licensee the 27 mark in commerce on or in connection with the identified goods and/or services.” (Serial No. 28 85544721) -11- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 41. Upon information and belief, Defendants’ have used, are currently using, and 2 have expressed an intent to continue to use of the “COWBOY BOURBON” name and 3 recognition to promote and exploit the “COWBOY” branding to sell Defendants’ other products, 4 including bourbon and dry goods, and services, including distillery tasting room visits, to 5 increase revenues and fame to Defendants and dissipate Allied’s goodwill and opportunity to sell 6 its own goods under its own registered trademark. For example, the aforementioned 7 DrinkUpNY website advertises Defendants’ brand “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon 8 Whiskey” as the “American Micro Whiskey of the Year 2014 – Jim Murray” when, in fact, the 9 American Micro Whiskey of the Year in the book “Whiskey Bible” by Jim Murray was Garrison 10 Brother’s sub-brand “COWBOY BOURBON,” which is, upon information and belief, a sub- 11 brand of “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey.” This is just one example of 12 Defendants continued use of the “COWBOY” brand, recognition, and awards to profit and 13 promote all of Defendants’ goods and services online and throughout the United States to 14 Allied’s detriment. 15 42. Defendants and Allied are in the same industry, alcohol and specifically distilled 16 spirits, and sell the same products, specifically whiskey and bourbon whiskey to through the Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 same trade channels to the same target customers, including distributors. Because of the three- 18 tier system of alcohol distribution in the United States, consisting of producers, distributors, and 19 retailers, both Allied and Defendants must compete against each other to various levels of 20 consumers. First, Allied and Defendants must sell their competing bourbon and whiskey 21 products to the first consumers, distributors, in order to get their product distributed to the second 22 consumers, retailers, and eventually to the end-user consumers. Thus, in this industry, the 23 distributors are consumers and any likelihood of confusion at the distribution stage of the three- 24 tier system will cause harm to Allied. 25 43. Defendants and Allied currently and intend to continue to advertise, distribute, 26 promote, and sell their alcohol-related products in the same or similar trade channels, including 27 through distributors to retail store locations specifically tailored to limited production, rare, hand 28 crafted, craft, small batch, and/or little barrel distilled spirits, namely whiskey and bourbon. -12- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 44. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and 2 other imitations thereof are confusingly similar to Allied’s federally registered “COWBOY 3 LITTLE BARREL” trademark for bourbon and whiskey. 4 45. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and 5 other variations is in direct competition with Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and 6 “COWBOY” marks for the exact same type of product, whiskey and bourbon. 7 46. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and 8 other variations thereof in the alcohol and distilled spirits industry and related industries has 9 caused actual confusion and/or is likely to cause confusion as to source, sponsorship, and/or 10 affiliation in relation to Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks. 11 47. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks harms 12 Allied’s goodwill and dilutes Allied’s trademarks, particularly with distilled spirits distributors. 13 48. Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that Defendants will 14 continue to use the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks unless enjoined from its 15 use. Thus, Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks will 16 continue to harm Allied’s goodwill and will continue to dilute Allied’s mark and trademark Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that Defendants’ use of the 19 word “COWBOY” on its bourbon whiskey product has caused and/or will cause Allied 20 immediate and irreparable harm. Upon information and belief, the distilled beverage market is 21 comprised of many small manufacturers (Allied and Defendants included), and a small number 22 of large distributors. Upon information and belief, large distributors are extremely hesitant 23 and/or completely unwilling to adopt and advertise a small brand if there is a potential of 24 confusion over the brand’s name with similar and/or competitive products. Upon information 25 and belief, Allied has been and will continue to be unable to be adopted and marketed by one of 26 the large distributors because of Defendants’ confusingly similar use of the word “COWBOY” 27 on distilled spirits.

Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that unless restrained and 3 enjoined, Defendants will continue to engage in the acts complained of herein and expand its use 4 of Allied’s marks and trade name, even after Allied obtains COLA label approval, causing 5 continued irreparable damage to Allied, including but not limited to loss of goodwill based on 6 the distributors. Allied’s remedy at law is not adequate to compensate Allied for all the injuries 7 resulting from Defendants’ actions. 8 51. Defendants are not affiliated with Allied.

As set forth above, Allied is the owner of the federally registered trademark for 15 the Allied word mark identified above.

Defendants’ activities constitute infringement of Allied’s trademarks in violation 21 of the Lanham Act, including, but not limited to, 15 U.S.C. § 1114(a). 22 55. Defendants’ wrongful conduct includes the advertising, distribution and/or sales 23 of each and every product sold under the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks that 24 are confusingly similar and almost identical to Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and 25 “COWBOY” marks. Whether imitation, or confusingly similar and deceptive, the infringing 26 products that Defendants have and are continuing to create, use, offer, advertise, distribute and/or 27 sell under the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks are so similar to genuine 28 products bearing Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks that they -14- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 cause actual confusion and/or are likely to cause confusion and mistake as to the source of the 2 product and/or ownership, sponsorship, or affiliation of Allied’s products, including but not 3 limited to distributors. 4 56. On information and belief, and thereon alleged, Defendants have developed, 5 advertised, marketed, distributed, and/or sold its infringing products with the knowledge of 6 Allied’s registered trademark and trade name and with the knowledge of Allied’s federally 7 registered trademark and with the willful and calculated purposes of (a) misleading, deceiving or 8 confusing customers and the public as to the origin of the infringing products/materials and 9 (b) trading upon Allied’s business reputation and goodwill. At a minimum, Defendants acted 10 with knowledge and reckless disregard of Allied’s federally registered and common law 11 trademarks. 12 57. As a result of its wrongful conduct, Defendants are liable to Allied for trademark 13 infringement. Allied has suffered, and will continue to suffer, losses, including, but not limited 14 to, damage to its business reputation and goodwill.

5 SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEF FALSE ADVERTISING AND FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN 6 AND FEDERAL UNFAIR COMPETITION (15 U.S.C. §§ 1125(a) et seq.) 7 8 60. Allied realleges each and every allegation set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 59 9 inclusive, and incorporates them as though fully set forth herein. 10 61. Because Allied has advertised, marketed, distributed, and sold its products and 11 advertises, markets, distributes, and sells its products under the trademarks described in this 12 Complaint, these trademarks are the means by which Allied’s products and materials are 13 distinguished from the products and materials of others in the same or related fields. 14 62. Due to Allied’s long, continuous, and exclusive use of the trademarks, the 15 “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks have come to mean, and are 16 understood by customers, including distributors, and the public, to signify products and services Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 and materials of Allied, particularly when used related to spirits, including whiskey and bourbon. 18 63. Allied has designed and used, and continues to use, its mark, distinctive logos 19 with the Allied’s name, displays, advertising, and packaging for its products and materials just 20 for this purpose. 21 64. Defendants’ wrongful conduct includes the continued use, advertising, marketing, 22 distribution, and/or sale of products bearing Allied’s marks, as well as Allied’s name, and/or 23 imitations of said marks that are virtually indistinguishable from Allied’s mark, in connection 24 with its products. 25 65. Allied is informed and believes, and upon that basis alleges, that Defendants 26 engaged in such wrongful conduct with the willful purpose of misleading, deceiving, or 27 confusing customers and the public as to the origin and authenticity of the products offered, 28 marketed, distributed, and/or sold in connection with Allied’s marks, name, and imitation visual -16- PLAINTIFF ALLIED LOMAR INC.’S FIRST AMENDED COMPLAINT No. 1:14-cv-01078-SS

1 materials and design and is and trading upon Allied’s business reputation and goodwill. 2 66. Defendants’ ongoing and threatened continued conduct constitutes: (a) false 3 designation of origin, (b) false or misleading description, and (c) false or misleading 4 representation that the imitation “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” products originate from or are 5 authorized by Allied, all in violation of section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, set forth at 15 U.S.C. 6 section 1125(a). 7 67. Defendants’ wrongful conduct is likely to continue unless restrained and enjoined. 8 68. As a result of Defendants’ wrongful conduct, Allied has suffered and will 9 continue to suffer losses, including, but not limited to, sales revenues illegally and unfairly 10 captured by Defendants, damage to its business reputation, and loss of good will. 11 69. Allied is entitled to injunctive relief enjoining Defendants’ ongoing wrongful 12 conduct pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a), and to an order impounding all products or 13 materials bearing imitation marks being used, offered, advertised, distributed and/or sold by 14 Defendants. 15 70. Allied has no adequate remedy at law for Defendants’ wrongful conduct because, 16 among other reasons: (a) Allied’s marks, names, and designs are unique and valuable property, Gordon & Rees LLP San Francisco, CA 94111

275 Battery Street, Suite 2000 17 which has no readily determinable market value; (b) Defendants’ advertising, marketing, 18 distribution, and/or sales of imitated marks works a great harm to Allied’s business reputation 19 and goodwill such that Allied could not be made whole by any monetary award; and (c) 20 Defendants’ wrongful conduct, and the resulting damage to Allied, is continuing and likely 21 expanding. 22 71. Allied is also entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs of suit pursuant to 15 23 U.S.C. Section 1117, including for Defendants’ ongoing infringing acts. 24 WHEREFORE, Allied prays for judgment, damages, restitution, seizure, an accounting, 25 and injunctive relief against Defendants, and each of them, as set forth below. 26 THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF 27 (Constructive Trust Upon Illegal Profits) 28 72.

Appeals from the United States District Court for the Western District of Texas USDC No. 1:14-CV-1078

Before HIGGINBOTHAM, SMITH, and CLEMENT Circuit Judges. PER CURIAM:* Plaintiff Allied Lomar, Inc., a California liquor distributor, sued Defendant Lone Star Distillery, L.L.C., d/b/a Garrison Brothers Distillery, a Texas liquor distributor, alleging that Allied owned the mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” for its bourbon whiskey and that Garrison Brothers’ mark

* Pursuant to 5TH CIR. R. 47.5, the court has determined that this opinion should not be published and is not precedent except under the limited circumstances set forth in 5TH CIR. R. 47.5.4.

No. 17-50148

“COWBOY BOURBON” infringed on that trademark. Accordingly, Allied asserted, among other things, trademark infringement, and Garrison Brothers counterclaimed for declaratory judgment findings of non-infringement and cancellation of Allied’s registration due to abandonment or fraud on the United States Patent and Trademark Office. A jury returned a verdict finding, among other things, that Allied abandoned its mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL.”1 Allied timely filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, which the district court denied. Allied appeals. We review de novo the district court’s denial of a motion for judgment as a matter of law.2 “When a case is tried to a jury, a motion for judgment as a matter of law ‘is a challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence supporting the jury’s verdict.’”3 “‘In resolving such challenges, we draw all reasonable inferences and resolve all credibility determinations in the light most favorable to the nonmoving party,’ and will uphold the verdict ‘unless there is no legally sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find as the jury did.’”4 Under the Lanham Act, a mark shall be deemed abandoned when the following occurs: [The mark’s] use has been discontinued with intent not to resume such use. Intent not to resume may be inferred from circumstances. Nonuse for 3 consecutive years shall be prima facie evidence of abandonment. “Use” of a mark means the bona fide use of such mark made in the ordinary course of trade, and not made merely to reserve a right in a mark.5

1 The parties’ first trial ended in a mistral when Allied failed to comply with a pretrial ruling requiring it to “approach the bench, advise of its intention regarding any product released subsequent to the filing of this lawsuit to obtain a ruling on admissibility prior to any exposure of the same to the jury.” 2 Omnitech Int’l, Inc. v. Clorox Co., 11 F.3d 1316, 1322–23 (5th Cir. 1994). 3 Cowart v. Erwin, 837 F.3d 444, 450 (5th Cir. 2016) (quoting Heck v. Triche, 775 F.3d 265, 272 (5th Cir. 2014)). 4 Id. (quoting Heck, 775 F.3d at 273). 5 15 U.S.C. § 1127. 2

EXHIBIT 5 Page 2 of 3 Case: 17-50148 Document: 00514561328 Page: 3 Date Filed: 07/18/2018

No. 17-50148

“The party asserting abandonment must establish that the owner of the mark both (1) discontinued use of the mark and (2) intended not to resume its use.”6 When the party claiming abandonment provides evidence that the mark has not been used for three consecutive years, the burden then shifts to the mark owner to establish that “circumstances do not justify the inference of intent not to resume use.”7 To rebut the presumption of intent not to resume use, a mark owner may produce evidence of either actual use or plans to resume use.8 We conclude that a reasonable jury could determine that Allied failed to rebut the presumption of intent not to resume use. As the district court observed, the jury fairly rejected the testimony of Allied’s founder, Marci Palatella, and Allied’s price lists as evidence of intent to resume use. Allied now claims that a jury could not reasonably disbelieve Palatella’s testimony because “the facts to which Palatella testified are uncontroverted.” The record proves otherwise. That is, Garrison Brothers presented evidence undermining Palatella’s contention that Allied specializes in old, rare, and expensive whiskeys; disputing Palatella’s reliance on a bourbon shortage as a reason for Allied’s failure to sell “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon after 2009; and highlighting Palatella’s inconsistent testimony concerning Allied’s price lists. We therefore decline to overturn the jury’s verdict when Allied’s evidence amounts to “a vague, subjective intent to resume use of a mark at some unspecified future date.”9 Because such evidence cannot defeat abandonment, the jury’s verdict is sound.10 AFFIRMED.

6 Vais Arms, Inc. v. Vais, 383 F.3d 287, 293 (5th Cir. 2004). 7 Exxon Corp. v. Humble Explor. Co., 695 F.2d 96, 99 (5th Cir. 1983). 8 Id. at 102–03. 9 Vais Arms, 383 F.3d at 295 (internal quotation marks omitted). 10 To the extent that the briefing raises additional arguments, we have considered them and find them without merit. 3

VINTAGE COWBOY WINERY SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA

Tasting Room Hours: Saturday & Sunday 11-5

Vintage Cowboy Winery was inspired by our family heritage of cowboys, western lifestyle, and our love for ranching in San Luis Obispo County. We believe in cowboy values and keeping the western way of life alive. For five generations the Arnold family has lived and worked on the original ranch land in Pozo, raising beef cattle, horses, and farming a variety of crops. We planted our 32 acre vineyard in 1995. The vineyard sits beneath the Santa Lucia Mountain Range where it benefits from the coastal influence coming through the mountain passes. The extreme temperature fluctuation during the growing season results in uniquely flavorful wines.

16 Petitioner hereby responds to Respondent’s First Set of Requests for Production.

17 GENERAL OBJECTIONS

18 1. Petitioner objects to Definition C in its requirement that Petitioner produce documents

19 in their native format, as well as financial records in Quickbooks format, as disproportionate to the

20 needs of the case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. With

21 respect to Quickbooks, the request is also overly broad and unduly burdensome in that it essentially

22 would require production of all corporate financial records irrespective of the product at issue and

23 without any time limitation.

24 //

Page 1 PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION EXHIBIT 17 Page 1 of 17

1 2. Petitioner objects to Definition J as disproportionate to the needs of the case and not

2 reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It also exceeds the requirements

4 RESPONSES

5 REQUEST NO. 1: Documents sufficient to show any and all alleged ownership and/or

6 exclusive rights by Petitioner in any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s).

7 RESPONSE

10 relationship to Petitioner.

11 RESPONSE

12 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as not reasonably

13 calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Documents concerning her ownership

14 interest have no bearing on any issue in this case as she is not a party to this matter. Subject to this

15 objection, a responsive document will be produced.

16 REQUEST NO. 3: Documents sufficient to show the relationship, if any, between Domino

17 Brands, LLC and Allied Lomar, Inc. including any license agreements and/or any ownership

18 interests.

19 RESPONSE

20 Subject to the General Objections, Petitioner is unaware of any responsive documents. Its

21 investigation is continuing.

2 whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey from and including and including

3 2012 to present, using any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in commerce regulable by the U.S.

4 Congress.

5 RESPONSE

6 Subject to the General Objections, responsive documents will be produced. 7 REQUEST NO. 5: All documents comprising, referring or relating to any license, 8 licensing, assignment and/or grant of any rights by or to Petitioner to anyone else relating to 9 Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) and/or between Domino Brands, LLC and Allied Lomar, Inc. 10 RESPONSE 11 Subject to the General Objections, Petitioner has not licensed the mark to third parties so there 12 are no responsive documents. 13 REQUEST NO. 6: Documents sufficient to show each source of distribution and/or sales 14 by Petitioner of any whiskey, bourbon, blended whiskey and/or bourbon whiskey using any of 15 Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress. 16 RESPONSE 17 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as beyond the scope of 18 discovery permitted in Board proceedings.

Chromalloy 19 American Corp., 10 USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988) (need not reveal names of customers including 20 dealers). 21 REQUEST NO. 7: All documents referring or relating to and/or tending to show any 22 claim of any strength of any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in commerce regulable by the U.S. 23 Congress. 24 RESPONSE

Page 3 PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION EXHIBIT 17 Page 3 of 17

1 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate to

2 the needs of the case in that it requests “all” such documents. Subject to these objections, representative

3 samples of such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard,

4 LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4

5 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987).

6 REQUEST NO. 8: All documents referring or relating to any search or evaluation of any

7 records conducted by or on behalf of Petitioner to determine whether any others have used, had

8 used and/or sought registration of any mark or designation for any whiskey, blended whiskey,

9 bourbon and/or bourbon whiskey using and/or incorporating the word COWBOY in commerce

10 regulable by the U.S. Congress.

11 RESPONSE

12 Subject to the General Objections, there are no responsive documents.

13 REQUEST NO. 9: All documents referring or relating to, and/or evidencing the total

14 volume and/or revenue from any sales from and including 2012 to the present date by Petitioner

15 and/or any Licensee of Petitioner of whiskey, blended whiskey, bourbon whiskey and/or bourbon

16 using any mark having COWBOY therein in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress.

17 RESPONSE

18 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate to

19 the needs of the case and unduly burdensome in that it requests “all” such documents. This would

20 include every invoice, payment record, production record, and the like. Subject to these objections,

21 representative samples of such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v.

22 Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison Corp. v. Perfecta 23 Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). 24 //

Page 4 PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION EXHIBIT 17 Page 4 of 17

1 REQUEST NO. 10: All documents referring or relating to the nature and amount of any

2 and all advertising or promotional expenditures incurred in connection with Petitioner’s Alleged

3 Mark(s) from and including 2012 to the present in the U.S.

4 RESPONSE

5 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as

6 disproportionate to the needs of the case and unduly burdensome in that it requests “all” such

7 documents. This would every ad, invoice, etc. Subject to these objections, representative samples of

8 such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100

9 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); Mack Trucks, Inc. v. Monroe Auto Equipment Co., 181

10 U.S.P.Q. 286, 288 (TTAB 1974) (allowed to furnish representative samples of advertisements). cf.

11 Bison Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987).

12 REQUEST NO. 11: All documents from and including 2012 to the present evidencing

13 Petitioner’s intent to continue to use Petitioner’s Alleged Mark COWBOY in commerce

14 regulable by the U.S. Congress.

15 RESPONSE

16 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unintelligible because

17 the concept of “intent to continue use” is only relevant in the context of an abandonment claim and no

18 such claim has been pleaded. Petitioner has used the mark continuously since 2016.

19 REQUEST No. 12: All documents referring or relating to Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s)

20 filed with or received in connection with any application to register Registrant’s Alleged Mark

21 in the U.S. and/or any state in the U.S.

22 RESPONSE

23 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as vague and

24 unintelligible. Subject to these objections, Petitioner states that it does not have possession of these

Page 5 PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION EXHIBIT 17 Page 5 of 17

1 documents. They are all available to Respondent on the Patent and Trademark Office’s TSDR web

2 site.

3 REQUEST NO. 13: All documents referring or relating to any objection received by

4 Petitioner from any third-party concerning use, attempted registration, and/or registration of

5 Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in the U.S. and/or any state in the U.S.

6 RESPONSE

7 Subject to the General Objections, responsive documents will be produced.

8 REQUEST NO. 14. All documents referring or relating to any civil, criminal, and/or

9 administrative action or proceeding involving Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s), including without

10 limitation any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any state

11 or federal court.

12 RESPONSE

13 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to the use of the term “all” as

14 disproportionate to the needs of the case and not required by the Board. Johnson & Johnson v. Rexall

15 Drug Co., 186 U.S.P.Q. 167, 172 (TTAB 1975). Petitioner further objects to producing documents

16 concerning the case of Allied Lomar v. Garrison Bros., to the extent it has those documents, as

17 disproportionate to the needs of the case and unduly burdensome. Petitioner further objects because

18 complying with the privilege log requirements would be unduly burdensome and disproportionate to

19 the needs of the case. As Respondent has pleaded, the registration at issue in that case has been deemed

20 to have been abandoned so it is not involved in this case; the common law use in this case arose after

21 the period of abandonment. Petitioner further objects to this request to the extent it seeks records of

22 this case as disproportionate to the needs of the case, unduly burdensome, and improperly impinging

23 on the attorney-client and attorney work product privileges. In any event, Petitioner does not have any

24 of the documents in the Federal Court case or Cancellation no. 92060851. These documents are not

Page 6 PETITIONER’S RESPONSES TO REQUESTS FOR PRODUCTION EXHIBIT 17 Page 6 of 17

1 probative of any issue in the current case. The public dockets for these matters are as available to

2 Respondent as they are to Petitioner, and the burden of downloading them is the same for Petitioner as

3 it is for Respondent. It is beyond the scope of discovery to require Petitioner to download documents

4 from the public dockets that are not in its possession.

5 REQUEST NO. 15. All documents referring or relating to any civil, criminal, and/or

6 administrative action or proceeding involving Petitioner and/or any of its principals, including

7 without limitation any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any

8 state or federal court.

9 RESPONSE

10 In addition to the General Objections and the objections in response to Request 14, it is improper

11 to use a discovery request on a party seek discovery on an individual or for conduct unrelated to the

12 mark at issue that was not undertaken on behalf of the corporation. This request has been posed purely

13 for harassment purposes. As Respondent knows, Petitioner’s owner is a co-defendant in a criminal

14 action in the Western District of Massachusetts. As counsel for Respondent has been told, if she were

15 properly served with a discovery subpoena on this subject matter, she would assert her 5th Amendment

16 right against self-incrimination in response; Respondent is not entitled to discovery in an administrative

17 case that the government cannot obtain in a criminal case. To the extent that Petitioner seeks documents

18 on the public docket for the case, the burden of downloading them is the same for Petitioner as it is for

19 Respondent. It is beyond the scope of discovery to require Petitioner to download documents from the

20 public dockets that are not in its possession.

21 REQUEST NO. 16: All documents referring or relating to any fraud and/or dishonesty

22 of Petitioner and/or any of its principals.

11 including but not limited to all orders, shipping documents, packing slips, invoices, purchase

12 orders, and/or correspondence related to same.

13 RESPONSE

14 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unduly burdensome

15 and disproportionate to the needs of the case in its request for “all” documents. Frito-Lay North

16 America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison

17 Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner also objects to

18 this request as impermissible discovery to the extent it is requesting information about individual

19 retailers or purchasers. See Johnston Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy American Corp., 10

20 USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988) (need not reveal names of customers including dealers). Subject

12 regulable by the U.S. Congress using any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) since and including

13 2017.

14 RESPONSE

15 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unduly burdensome

16 and disproportionate to the needs of the case in its request for “all” documents. Petitioner also objects

17 because the wholesale price of the goods is not relevant to any issue in the case and is beyond the scope

18 of discovery in these proceedings. Subject to these Objections, responsive documents showing the

19 retail price will be produced.

20 REQUEST NO. 22: All documents referring or relating to manufacture and/or purchases

21 by Petitioner of goods and/or bottling and/or materials for selling (in commerce regulable by the

1 RESPONSE

2 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unduly burdensome

3 and disproportionate to the needs of the case. How the goods are made and the components of their

4 COGS is not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Petitioner also

5 objects because the wholesale price of the goods is not relevant to any issue in the case and is beyond

6 the scope of discovery in these proceedings.

7 REQUEST NO. 23: All documents referring or relating to any shipments of whiskey,

8 bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey that were sold in any commerce regulable

9 by the U.S. Congress using Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) from and including 2012 to the present

1 v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner further objects to the

2 request for the personal address of Ms. Palatella and other principals as beyond the scope of discovery

3 and as being imposed solely for harassment. Their business addresses were disclosed in the Initial

4 Disclosures. As stated in Petitioner’s Rule 26 Disclosure, she may be contacted through the

5 undersigned counsel. Subject to these objections, documents sufficient to show the address of allied

6 Lomar and Domino Brands will be produced.

7 REQUEST NO. 25: All documents referring or relating to any locations, merchants,

8 websites, stores, and/or catalogues at which any whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or

15 v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner also objects because

17 Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy American Corp., 10 U.S.P.Q.2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988).

15

16 Petitioner hereby responds to Respondent’s First Set of Interrogatories.

17 GENERAL OBJECTIONS

18 1. Petitioner objects to Definition C in its requirement that Petitioner produce documents

19 in their native format, as well as financial records in Quickbooks format, as disproportionate to the

20 needs of the case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. With

21 respect to Quickbooks, the request is also overly broad and unduly burdensome in that it essentially

22 would require production of all corporate financial records irrespective of the product at issue and

23 without any time limitation.

24 //

Page 1 PETITIONER’S INTERROGATORY RESPONSES EXHIBIT 23 Page 1 of 7

1 2. Petitioner objects to Definition J as disproportionate to the needs of the case and not

2 reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It also exceeds the requirements

3 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

4 RESPONSES

5 1. Identify all owners and officers of Petitioner ALLIED LOMAR, INC. and DOMINO

6 BRANDS, LLC.

7 RESPONSE

8 Subject to the General Objections, this information will be provided.

9 2. Identify all owners and licensees of any trademark rights and/or rights in trademark

10 registrations and/or applications claimed by Petitioner in any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s)

11 and the date on which such owner or licensee obtained such rights, including but not limited to

12 for the following applications and/or common law rights:

13 RESPONSE

14 Subject to the General Objections:

15 U.S. Registration No. 2,777,811 – Domino Brands, LLC; 02/09/18

16 U.S. Application No. 86/336,251 – Domino Brands, LLC; 02/09/18

17 U.S. Application No. 88/775912 – Allied Lomar, Inc; 01/28/20

18 COWBOY common law rights – Domino Brands, LLC; 02/09/18

19 COWBOY LITTLE BARREL common law rights – Allied Lomar, Inc; 09/29/16

20 Allied Lomar is the exclusive distributor and marketing agent for Domino Brands, LLC.

21 3. Identify each product including but not limited to each whiskey, bourbon, bourbon

22 whiskey and/or blended whiskey that Petitioner contends it has used in commerce regulable by

23 the U.S. Congress any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) on from and including 2012 to the present

24 date.

Page 2 PETITIONER’S INTERROGATORY RESPONSES EXHIBIT 23 Page 2 of 7

1 RESPONSE

2 Subject to the General Objections: whiskey.

3 4. For each product identified in response to Interrogatory No. 3, identify all dates of sale in

4 commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress, the purchaser, the location of the purchaser, the type

5 of product, and the manner in which the trademark(s) thereon, and the manner in which any

6 such trademark was placed on the product and/or packaging and/or was otherwise used with

7 respect to each product that was sold.

8 RESPONSE

9 Petitioner objects to this interrogatory because requesting the name of specific purchasers is

10 beyond the scope of permissible discovery. See Johnston Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy

11 American Corp., 10 USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988). Subject to this objection and the General

12 Objections, Petitioner will respond to this interrogatory by producing invoices that provide the

13 requested information. The trademark was used on the front label of the product.

14 5. For each such product identified in response to interrogatory no. 3, state the date of first

15 sale in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress of the product, starting in 2012 and/or

16 thereafter.

17 RESPONSE

18 Subject to the General Objections: 09/29/16.

19 6. For each request in Respondent/Registrant’s requests for production, identify each

20 responsive document by Bates number, and if no bates number is used, identify each responsive

21 document by title, date, number of pages and subject matter sufficient to uniquely identify each

22 such document.

23 //

24 //

Page 3 PETITIONER’S INTERROGATORY RESPONSES EXHIBIT 23 Page 3 of 7

1 RESPONSE

2 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate,

3 unreasonable and unduly burdensome busy work, and far beyond the requirements of the Federal Rules

4 of Civil Procedure. Petitioner will organize the documents in such a way that it is clear which

5 document is responsive to which request.

6 7. For each product identified in response to interrogatory no. 3, state any calendar years

7 that such product was not sold or offered for sale by Petitioner in commerce regulable by the

8 U.S. Congress.

9 RESPONSE

10 Subject to the General Objections: none since 2016.

11 8. Explain any bases Petitioner has for claiming common law trademark rights in

12 COWBOY for any whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey in spite of prior

13 users and registrants of marks using COWBOY for whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or

14 blended whiskey.

15 RESPONSE

16 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this interrogatory as argumentative.

17 Subject to these objections, common law rights exist because Petitioner used the mark in commerce.

18 9. Identify any criminal indictments and/or civil actions against Petitioner and/or any of

19 Petitioner’s principals including but not limited to Marci Palatella for fraud, dishonesty, and/or

20 any other crimes and/or torts involving dishonesty.

21 RESPONSE

22 In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this interrogatory as not reasonably

23 calculated to lead to the development of admissible evidence and as propounded solely for purposes of

24 harassment. As Counsel for Respondent is fully aware, Ms. Palatella is a co-defendant in 1-19-cr-10080

Page 4 PETITIONER’S INTERROGATORY RESPONSES EXHIBIT 23 Page 4 of 7

1 (D. Mass). As he was told during the pre-discovery conference, Ms. Palatella’s private life is not

2 relevant to resolving this trademark dispute and she would assert her 5th Amendment right against self-

3 incrimination in refusing to respond to any questions on this subject. Although opposing counsel

4 asserted that this information is relevant to assessing her credibility, the fact that she is involved in a

5 criminal proceeding does not adversely affect her credibility because of the presumption of innocence.

6 Moreover, the needs of an administrative proceeding do not trump the 5th Amendment.

7 In any event, evidence of an indictment may not be used to impeach a witness. Brown v.

EXHIBIT 25 Page 2 of 5 IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD

In the Matter of Trademark Registration No. 2777811

For the mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

Dates registered: October 28, 2003

LONE STAR DISTRIBUTING, LLC, § Petitioner, § § v. § Cancellation No. § ALLIED LOMAR, INC., § Respondent. §

PETITION TO CANCEL

TO THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD:

Petitioner Lone Star Distillery, LLC d/b/a Garrison Brothers Distillery, a Texas limited liability company with its business address at 517 West 39th Street, Austin, TX 78751, believes that it is being damaged and will continue to be damaged by the above-identified registration, and hereby petitions to cancel this registration. As grounds for cancellation, Petitioner alleges as follows:

1. According to the records of the Patent and Trademark Office, the name and address of the

current owner of the trademark registration for the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark, No.

No. 2777811, is Allied Lomar, Inc., 401 California Drive Burlingame, CA 94010.

I. Standing of Petitioner

2. Petitioner has a pending trademark application for the mark COWBOY BOURBON. The

Examiner cited the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration owned by Allied Lomar, Inc.

against Petitioner’s application for COWBOY BOURBON, finding that there was a likelihood

EXHIBIT 25 Page 3 of 5 of confusion. The Examiner then suspended examination of the COWBOY BOURBON application. Petitioner strongly disagrees that there is a likelihood of confusion between the

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration and Petitioner’s COWBOY BOURBON mark.

Moreover, Petitioner believes that the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration is invalid and should be cancelled, because the registration has been abandoned through non-use and/or because the owner of the mark committed fraud on the Trademark Office in connection with this registration.

II. First Basis for Cancellation - Abandonment

3. Allied Lomar, Inc. obtained the registration for COWBOY LITTLE BARREL in 2003, despite the fact that Allied Lomar, Inc. has never legally sold or distributed the goods upon which the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration is based, anywhere in the United States.

Allied Lomar, Inc. apparently exported goods to one or more foreign countries under the

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL at one time, but, upon information and belief, it ceased this activity and did not use the mark (and cannot show excusable nonuse) for at least 3 consecutive years, thereby abandoning the registration within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §1127.

III. Fraud on the Trademark Office

4. Despite the apparent non-use and abandonment of the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark, Allied Lomar, Inc. filed a Section 8&15 declaration in 2009, alleging continuous use of the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark in interstate commerce and then filed for renewal of the mark in 2013, once again declaring under oath that it had continuously used the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark in interstate commerce. Upon information and belief, one or both of these declarations were false, because Allied Lomar, Inc. was not continuously selling or otherwise distributing the recited goods in interstate commerce under the COWBOY LITTLE

2

EXHIBIT 25 Page 4 of 5 BARREL mark. Upon information and belief, Allied Lomar knowingly made these false

statements to induce the Trademark Office to continue the registration for the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark, and the Trademark Office relied on these false statements in

continuing the registration for the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Petition to Cancel be sustained, that Respondent’s registration be cancelled, and that Petitioner be granted such other and further

relief to which it may be entitled. This Petition to Cancel is submitted electronically and the

undersigned hereby authorizes the payment of all required filing fees or any other fees due from

Deposit Account No. 071892.

LONE STAR DISTILLERY, LLC, § Petitioner, § § v. § Cancellation No. 92060851 § ALLIED LOMAR, INC., § Respondent. §

Response to the TTAB Status Update Request Dated October 18, 2019

TO THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD:

Petitioner Lone Star Distributing, d/b/a Garrison Brothers Distillery, files this response to the request to inform the Board of the status of the civil action which occasioned the suspension of this proceeding dated October 18, 2019.

1. This is a proceeding filed by Petitioner Lone Star Distributing, LLC, to cancel the

Respondent’s registration of the trademark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, Registration

No. 2777811 (“the Registration”).

2. This proceeding was suspended because the Registration was the subject of federal litigation between the Petitioner and Respondent, Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star

Distributing, Case No. 1:14-CV-01078-SS, W.D. Texas, Austin Division (“the Litigation”).

3. Petitioner prevailed in the Litigation. The Jury found that Respondent had abandoned the trademark on which the Registration is based and the District Court entered an order that the Registration be cancelled.

EXHIBIT 26 Page 2 of 3 4. Respondent appealed the judgment in the Litigation. The judgment was affirmed in all respects by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on July 18, 2018. Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone

Star Distillery, LLC, 731 Fed. Appx. 367 (5th Cir. 2018). The time to file a petition for certiorari from the Fifth Circuit’s judgment expired ninety days later, on October 17, 2018. Sup. Ct. R. 13.

Respondent did not seek further review, so the judgment in the Litigation is final.

5. Because the civil action that was the reason for suspension has been resolved, the

Board should lift the suspension and proceed with this cancellation proceeding.

6. Respondent’s suggestion that “there is no need to resume the present action and it should be dismissed with prejudice” is entirely incorrect. Respondent is subject to a final, unappealable judgment cancelling the Registration, so the Board should proceed to cancel

Registration No. 2777811.

13 In response to the Board’s Order of November 14, 2019, Respondent states as follows:

14 Petitioner pleaded two grounds for cancellation: abandonment and fraud. The Board’s

15 judgment should reflect the jury verdict, namely, that the jury found and the Court affirmed that the

16 mark had been abandoned and that there was no likelihood of confusion. Given the reputational injury

17 of a fraud claim, the Board’s should expressly state that it is not granting judgment on the fraud claim

18 because that was not litigated in the Federal Court case.

OFFICE ACTION

STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/18/2014

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney. Applicant must respond timely and completely to the issue(s) below. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

PRIOR-FILED APPLICATIONS

The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 85316043 and 85544721 precedes applicant’s filing date. See attached referenced application. Specifically, in regard to the cited application for PANIOLO (Ser. No. 85316043), the marks are foreign equivalents and are, or will be used with closely related goods. In regard to the cited application for COWBOY BOURBON (Ser. No. 85544721), as the wording “bourbon” in the prior pending application is the generic name for the associated goods, the dominant element of is COWBOY which is identical to the applied-for mark. Furthermore, applicant’s goods are closely related to the goods in the cited application for COWBOY BOURBON (Ser. No. 85544721). If the mark in the referenced applications registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion between the two marks. See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.

PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION: Private companies not associated with the USPTO are using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations. These companies often use names that closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document. Many solicitations require that you pay “fees.”

Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation. All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” For more information on how to handle
