`
`MOTION FOR A NINETY-DAY EXTENSION OF TIME
`TO SERVE EXPERT DISCLOSURES AND FOR ALL SUBSEQUENT DATES
`
`
`Commissioner for Trademarks
`P.O. Box 1451
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1451
`
`
`Opposer Jamba Juice Company (hereinafter “Opposer”), by and through its undersigned
`
`counsel, submits this Motion for a Ninety-Day Extension of Time to Serve Expert Disclosures
`
`and For All Subsequent Dates with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”),
`
`respectfully requesting that the Board grant the extension of time through and including March
`
`27, 2015 to serve Expert Disclosures, and that all subsequent case deadlines be re-set by ninety
`
`days, pursuant to TBMP § 509.01.
`
`The new remaining case deadlines would be as follows:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Expert Disclosures Due:
`
`
`
`Discovery Period to Close:
`
`Plaintiff Pretrial Disclosures:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`March 27, 2015
`
`April 26, 2015
`
`June 10, 2015

`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Plaintiff’s 30-Day Trial Period Ends:
`
`July 25, 2015
`
`Defendant’s Pretrial Disclosures:
`
`
`
`August 9, 2015
`
`Defendant’s 30-Day Trial Period Ends:
`
`September 23, 2015
`
`Plaintiff’s Rebuttal Disclosures:
`
`
`
`October 8, 2015
`
`Plaintiff’s 15-Day Rebuttal Period Ends:
`
`November 7, 2015
`
`The deadline to serve Expert Disclosures is currently December 27, 2014. A further
`
`extension of this deadline and all subsequent deadlines is necessary to try to secure a binding
`
`settlement agreement or to conduct discovery if a binding settlement agreement cannot be
`
`secured in the near future. In an email dated October 22, 2013, counsel for Applicant Jambo
`
`Production, LLC (“Applicant”) had indicated to counsel for Opposer that her client does not
`
`intend to pursue U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 85/702,161 (the “Subject Application”).
`
`Upon receipt of that email, Opposer immediately requested that the Subject Application be
`
`expressly abandoned in order to dispose of the present Opposition Proceeding. Since then,
`
`Opposer has repeatedly followed up with Applicant, but has still not yet received any response.
`
`In fact, since Opposer filed its previous Motion For a Sixty-Day Extension of Time to Serve
`
`Expert Disclosures And for All Subsequent Dates on October 28, 2014, Opposer has not received
`
`any correspondence at all from Applicant or Applicant’s counsel.
`
`As recently as today, December 23, 2014, counsel for Opposer left a message for counsel
`
`for Applicant, at what appears to be her new law firm, Schmidt, Volsky & Perle LLP, to request
`
`the express abandonment of the Subject Application and to put Applicant on notice that an
`
`extension of upcoming deadlines in connection with the present Opposition Proceeding would be
`
`necessary if such express abandonment was not filed in a timely manner. Counsel for Opposer
`
`has attempted all reasonable means of contacting counsel for Applicant at her current and
`
`EAST\88924922.1
`
`2
`
`
`
`previous firms without success, even though no change of correspondence has been filed in this
`
`case.
`
`Opposer respectfully submits that this Motion is not made for the purpose of unduly
`
`delaying proceedings before the Board. It has now been over a year since counsel for Opposer
`
`has been contacted by counsel for Applicant or Applicant directly.
`
`WHEREFORE, in light of the foregoing, Opposer has shown good cause as to why the
`
`instant Motion should be granted. As such, Opposer requests that further appropriate action be
`
`taken in this Opposition Proceeding, including the granting of a ninety-day extension of time for
`
`serving Expert Disclosures and for all subsequent dates.
`
`
`
`Dated: December 23, 2014
