`
`DIRECT TESTIMONY AND DECLARATION OF MICHAEL S. YOULEN
`
`
`
`My name is Michael S. Youlen, President and Sole Shareholder of Applicant, Apollo
`
`Investigations, Inc., (hereinafter, “Applicant”). I give this written testimony in lieu of oral
`
`testimony that I would provide at trial. I do so under the pains and penalties of perjury, and hereby
`
`declare and state as follows:
`
`1.
`
`2.
`
`
`
`Applicant is seeking a mark for “Apollo Investigations, Inc.”
`
`Apollo Security International, Inc., (hereinafter, “Opposer”) does not hold a mark
`
`for “Apollo Investigations, Inc.”
`
`
`
`3.
`
`Applicant was established by the Virginia State Corporation Commission on
`
`September 30, 2011 (see attached Exhibit A).
`
`1668615v1/14802-32
`
`

`
`
`
`4.
`
`Applicant is licensed to do business in Virginia and operates in Virginia, Maryland
`
`and Washington, DC, focusing primarily in Virginia and Maryland.
`
`
`
`5.
`
`Applicant is licensed as a private investigator in Virginia by the Virginia
`
`Department of Criminal Justice Services and in Maryland by the Maryland State Police (see
`
`attached Exhibit B). Washington DC recognizes the states’ licenses so a private investigator’s
`
`license is not necessary unless you maintain a physical office there.
`
`
`
`6.
`
`Applicant is in the business of offering private investigator services to individuals,
`
`focusing primarily on matrimonial private investigations and surveillance, as well as service of
`
`process.
`
`7.
`
`Applicant also provides an officer for a private police corporation as a Special
`
`Conservator of the Peace in Manassas, Virginia. This is not, however, a marketed service.
`
`8.
`
`A complete list of Applicant’s marketed services are located within the attached
`
`Exhibit C.
`
`9.
`
`A Special Conservator of the Peace (SCOP) is appointed under Va. Code Ann.
`
`§19.2-13 by the Circuit Court of Virginia in the County/City where they operate.
`
`10.
`
`A SCOP has arrest and police powers under Virginia law, and is trained in the same
`
`manner as police officers. An SCOP is treated the same as a law enforcement officer/police officer
`
`within the territorial limits of their appointment and has the right to use a police marked vehicle,
`
`carry a badge stating “police” and to use a firearm and police equipment in the course of their
`
`duties.
`
`11.
`
`A SCOP is not a security guard and is not charged with asset protection. A SCOP
`
`can enforce all laws within their territory, including but not limited issuing court summonses,
`
`appearing in Court for their criminal docket, and making authoritative arrests for speeding tickets,
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`reckless driving, driving while intoxicated, larceny, loitering, assault and battery, assault on a
`
`police officer, illegally carrying a concealed weapon, drug possession, etc.
`
`
`
`12.
`
`Opposer is not licensed in Virginia to provide private investigator services and no
`
`individuals employed by Opposer are known to be a SCOP.
`
`13.
`
`At paragraph 17 of the affidavit of Dennis M. Crowley, III, it is stated that Opposer
`
`has offices in Virginia and Maryland. However, Opposer is not licensed in Virginia with the
`
`Department of Criminal Justice Services (see attached Exhibit D), nor does it appear that Opposer
`
`is licensed by the Maryland State Police. Therefore, any such office would be operating illegally
`
`under Virginia law if they are offering private investigator services. If they are not offering private
`
`investigator services, then there is no basis for their opposition to Applicant’s trademark. See, Va.
`
`Code Ann. §9.1-149, which requires licensure in Virginia with the Department of Criminal Justice
`
`Services, which includes private investigators and security services.
`
`
`
`14.
`
`Furthermore, according to Exhibit M of the affidavit of Dennis M. Crowley, III,
`
`the President of Opposer, Opposer does not provide private investigator services or surveillance
`
`for individuals. Opposer provides asset protection services concerning “trademark violations,
`
`product diversion, product counterfeiting, trade secrets theft, employee theft, workplace drug
`
`abuse, time theft, fraud and other similar threats to the assets of the corporation or institution.”
`
`15.
`
`Furthermore, Opposer does not even offer its investigations to the general public.
`
`According to the aforementioned Exhibit M, Opposer “does not market its investigative services
`
`to outside companies. (Opposer limits their) investigative services to clients of security services.”
`
`16.
`
`Therefore, it is apparent from Opposer’s own exhibits that it is a business asset
`
`security provider, and does not publicly market investigations. Rather, Opposer only looks into
`
`thefts of assets for which they are already providing security.
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`17.
`
`Applicant is not a business asset protection or security company, nor does it market
`
`itself as such. Applicant markets only its private investigator services publicly.
`
`18.
`
`Applicant’s offices are located in Manassas, Virginia and Bethesda, Maryland.
`
`19.
`
`Applicant’s gross revenue per year is between approximately $125,000.00 and
`
`$175,000.00.
`
`20.
`
`Applicant markets and offers its services through the internet, or through referrals
`
`from clients located in the Washington DC Metropolitan area, but primarily Virginia and
`
`Maryland.
`
`21.
`
`In approximately September, 2011, Applicant began using the domain name
`
`“www.appoloinvestigationsinc.com”.
`
`22.
`
`In the aforementioned affidavit of Dennis M. Crowley, III, at Exhibits U and V, the
`
`Opposer sets forth the investigative services that are purportedly offered by Opposer. However, as
`
`stated above and as set forth on Exhibit M to said affidavit, these services are not marketed
`
`publicly, but only offered to the asset protection clients that have already retained Opposer. This
`
`is further supported by paragraph 31 of said affidavit.
`
`23.
`
`Applicant’s customers include law firms referring matrimonial investigation work
`
`to Applicant or law firms needing process servers, as well as private individuals seeking
`
`investigations of family members or spouses, and private individuals seeking to enforce liens and
`
`judgments against property.
`
`24.
`
`There is no likelihood of confusion between the private investigator services
`
`offered by Applicant and the business asset protection services offered by Opposer. Opposer is not
`
`even licensed to offer private investigator services in the geographic region where Applicant
`
`operates. Opposer only investigates theft issues for its asset protection clients. It does not offer
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`these services publicly. Conversely, Applicant offers private investigator services publicly, but not
`
`asset protection services at all.
`
`25.
`
`It must be assumed that Opposer’s clients know who Opposer is. Since there are
`
`no investigative clients of Opposer except those that are already asset protection clients, there is
`
`no chance that Opposer’s clients will confuse Applicant with Opposer.
`
`26.
`
`Opposer primarily operates in the Northeastern United States. Applicant does not
`
`operate in the Northeast.
`
`27.
`
`To Applicant’s knowledge, no actual calls or confusion has ever occurred between
`
`the parties. That being said, Applicant received two solicitations for business from the Northeast
`
`area within a day of the Applicant’s initial filing in this case. Applicant checked into the
`
`solicitations and determined that they were likely affiliated with the Opposer. Applicant’s
`
`professional judgment is that these calls were made by Opposer’s employees for the sole purpose
`
`of establishing evidence of confusion in the marketplace or to establish that Applicant operated in
`
`the Northeast.
`
`28.
`
`The details of these inquiries are as follows:
`
`11/13/13:
`
`On this date, a Notice of Appearance was filed by counsel for Opposer along with Applicant’s
`Answer in this matter.
`
`11/14/13:
`
`At 7:37pm, I received a suspicious email solicitation from a man claiming to be “Afaa
`Weaver” who is a professor at Simmons University in Boston, MA. This is the same location
`as the principal office of Opposer. This man was claiming to need help locating his
`granddaughter in the Fredericksburg, VA area. Afaa Weaver and Opposer’s Co-CEO,
`Richard Ryer, both served in the military in DaNang Vietnam during the Vietnam War.
`Both served overseas at the same time. Mr. “Weaver’s” request for service was denied by
`the Applicant.
`
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`At 11:22pm, I received another suspicious solicitation. This person was claiming to be named
`“Craig Vesling” and had a Rochester, NY telephone number. This person was claiming to
`be (family) from quote the “northeast.” This person was claiming to need help finding a
`friend. This email was very oddly worded as well. Rochester, NY is another location where
`Opposer alleges that it maintains an office. This solicitation was also not accepted.
`
`Both solicitations were sent from individual IPhones. Before this date, Applicant had never
`received any solicitations from any individuals in the northeast. Since November 14, 2013 to
`the date of this Affidavit, Applicant has never received any solicitations from any individuals
`in the northeast.
`
`
`29.
`
`Opposer has previously sent a demand letter to Applicant that Applicant cease and
`
`desist from using the name “Apollo Investigations, Inc.” and threatening legal action. Applicant
`
`responded by refusing to accede to their demands. Opposer has not followed up or pursued any
`
`litigation concerning the demand since it is not enforceable and any such litigation by Opposer
`
`would fail.
`
`30.
`
`There are other firms using the term Apollo in connection with their services that
`
`Opposer has apparently never molested since they are not mentioned in Opposer’s Affidavit of
`
`Dennis M. Crowley, III (See attached Exhibit E).
`
`31.
`
`By the use of its name, Apollo Investigations, Inc., Applicant has developed
`
`significant goodwill and a reputation for providing quality private investigator services and process
`
`server services in the Washington DC Metropolitan Area. This business also provides a good living
`
`for its principal, Michael Youlen, and is the sole source of income for himself and his family.

`
`Mike,
`My separation agreement has been finalized and signed. As you might expect, the spousal support amount was reduced and (Redacted) signed pretty
`quickly after I made her aware of the report I had detailing her activities with (Redacted) over the past few months. Many thanks to you for the help in
`getting the truth about what was going on. I am estimating that I saved in the hundreds of thousands of dollars since I am only paying alimony while the
`(Redacted) remain at home. After that I owe her nothing. Once again - thanks for your help. You did a great job, and I appreciate your efforts. If you need
`a recommendation, let me know. Doing business with you was great, despite the awful circumstances involved. Thanks.

`I wanted to write and thank you for your assistance last month with the interviews. As you know,I have been in law enforcement for more than 25 years

`
`a private investigator in Northern Virginia.
`
`Thank you, my clear. You have been an absolute joy to work with and I will refer anyone I come across to you. I admire your integrity and your willing
`spirit to go out at any hour of the day or night to get the job done. I also admire your ability to work with angry people like me who are so mad and so
`betrayed that we cannot see straight. I am appalled in my own work at people who take their anger out on others and yet I have seen myself doing this a
`couple of times in the last few months and for that I am so very sorry. I will surely keep you updated on the outcome of all of this. You are like me. You
`are interested and invested in the outcomes of all your hard work. And your heart is in this. I hope to be able to meet you one day. I thank you for
`everything. To give me the truth has been an unbelievable gift, and that is what you do.....you give the truth. Thank you Michael. You are a good
`person with a faithful heart.
