`connection with the FAIL BLOG mark, and the quality of those services, the FAIL BLOG mark
`
`April 8, 2009. A copy of the registration information for Opposer's FAIL BLOG mark, obtained
`
`from the Trademark Electronic Search System database, is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`3.
`
`There is no issue of priority concerning application Serial No. 77781021.
`
`Applicant began first use of the EPIC FAIL mark and filed its application for registration long
`
`after Opposer began first use of its FAIL BLOG mark.
`
`4.
`
`FAIL BLOG, as embodied in the market since at least January 3, 2008, is an
`
`online website which allows users of the website to upload photos and videos to the site, add
`
`captions to the photos and videos, and share the postings by means of various social news and
`
`bookmarking applications.
`
`5.
`
`On information and belief, EPIC FAIL, as embodied in the market since at least
`
`April 22, 2009, is an online website providing almost identical services as those provided under
`
`Opposer's FAIL BLOG mark. Consumers are likely to be confi1sed by Applicant's use of the
`
`EPIC FAIL mark for services that are nearly identical to those offered by Opposer.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer's services and Applicant's services are offered through identical channels
`
`of trade. Moreover, the target consumers for both parties‘ services — consumers seeking to post,
`
`view and share humorous photos and videos — are identical. Accordingly, consumer confi1sion is
`
`inevitable.
`
`7.
`
`Opposer has continuously used and advertised the FAIL BLOG mark throughout
`
`the United States for a significant time.
`
`8.
`
`By reason of continuous marketing, advertising and promotion of services in
`
`has extremely valuable goodwill that inures to the benefit of Opposer. This goodwill has been

`
`and will continue to be harmed by the use and registration of the confusingly similar mark EPIC
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer asks that its opposition to Application Serial No. 77781021 be
`
`sustained and that Applicant's proposed registration of the mark EPIC FAIL be refi1sed. Please
`
`direct all correspondence to the attention of Venkat Balasubramani, Focal PLLC, 800 Fifih
`
`Avenue, Suite 4100, Seattle, Washington 98104. The undersigned is authorized to act on
`
`Opposer's behalf.
`
`FAIL sought to be registered by Applicant.
`
`9.
`
`Applicant's mark is similar in appearance and sound to Opposer's mark. Both are
`
`standard character marks, comprised of two four-letter words, with each mark containing the
`
`word "fail." The word "fail" is the dominant component of each mark. Consequently, the marks
`
`create an extremely similar commercial impression.
`
`10.
`
`Applicant's EPIC FAIL mark so resembles Opposer's FAIL BLOG mark as to be
`
`likely, when applied to the Applicant's services, to cause confi1sion, mistake or deception as to
`
`the source or origin of Applicant's goods by creating the erroneous impression that Applicant's
`
`goods originate with, are sponsored, approved, endorsed or licensed by, are affiliated or
`
`associated with, or are in some other way connected to Opposer.
`
`11.
`
`The granting of a trademark registration for the EPIC FAIL mark to Applicant
`
`would be contrary to 15 U.S.C. § l052(d) and would violate or diminish the prior and superior
`
`rights of Opposer in its FAIL BLOG trademark.
`
`12.
`
`Opposer will be damaged if Applicant obtains registration of its mark because
`
`Applicant will obtain statutory rights in the mark in violation and derogation of the established
`
`prior rights of Opposer in its FAIL BLOG mark.
