`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Beats Electronics, LLC (“Beats”), a limited liability company organized under the laws
`
`of Delaware with a place of business at 1601 Cloverfield Blvd., Suite 5000N, Santa Monica,
`
`California 90404, believes that it will be damaged by the registration of the mark QUADBEAT
`
`in International Class 9 as shown in Application Serial No. 85/682,885, filed by Applicant, LG
`
`Electronics Inc. (“Applicant”), and therefore hereby opposes the same and requests that
`
`registration to Applicant be refused.
`
`The grounds for Beats’ Opposition are as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Applicant seeks to register the mark QUADBEAT in International Class 9 for use
`
`in connection with “MPEG audio layer-3 players; navigation apparatus for vehicle on-board
`
`computer; audio receivers; portable multimedia players; personal digital assistants; headphones;
`
`earphones; loudspeakers; microphones; cordless phone; earphone microphones; telephone
`
`headsets; remote controllers for televisions; remote controllers for stereos; remote controllers for
`
`cassette players; remote controllers for MPEG audio layer-3 players; mobile phones; smart
`
`
`
`phones; television receivers; portable communication apparatus, namely, mobile phone handsets,
`
`walkie-talkies and satellite telephones.” The Application was filed under 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1051(1)(b), based on Applicant’s alleged intent to use the mark in U.S. commerce.
`
`2.
`
`For several years, and long prior to the acts of Applicant alleged herein, Beats has
`
`distributed and sold, and continues to distribute and sell numerous music- and audio-related
`
`goods and services including audio speakers, earbuds, and headphones under and in connection
`
`with its family of BEATS marks.
`
`3.
`
`Beats has devoted substantial resources, time, and effort to developing, marketing,
`
`and distributing its music- and audio-related goods and services under and in connection with its
`
`family of BEATS marks.
`
`4.
`
`The family of BEATS marks is now among Beats’ most valuable assets. To
`
`protect its rights in its family of marks, Beats has obtained the following federal registrations for
`
`BEATS-formative marks for use in connection with goods in International Class 9, all of which
`
`cover goods either identical or closely related to Applicant’s goods:

`
`
`6.
`
`Applicant’s advertising and use of the Subject Mark will inevitably reach the
`
`same consumers that Opposer targets with the use of its BEATS marks.
`
`7.
`
`Consumers, upon seeing the Subject Mark used in connection with Applicant’s
`
`goods, are likely to mistakenly believe that such mark, and the goods or services provided in
`
`connection with it, originated or are connected with, sponsored by, associated with, or licensed
`
`or approved by Opposer. Thus, the registration and use by Applicant of the QUADBEAT mark
`
`in connection with the recited goods is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception in
`
`violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`8.
`
`In light of Opposer’s widespread advertising, promotion and use of its BEATS
`
`marks, Applicant’s selection of a term confusingly similar to Opposer’s pre-existing family of
`
`BEATS marks suggests that Applicant intends to trade off the goodwill and recognition
`
`associated with Opposer’s BEATS family of marks.
`
`9.
`
`If a registration is issued to Applicant for the Subject Mark, the confusion with
`
`Opposer’s BEATS marks would result in damage and injury to Opposer and to the public.
`
`
`
`10.
`
`Additionally, issuance of registrations to Applicant for the Subject Mark would
`
`also diminish the distinctive quality of Beats’ famous family of marks comprised of the term
`
`
`
`-4-
`
`
`
`
`
`BEATS and each of them and would blur and otherwise impair the distinctiveness of these
`
`marks, in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c). In addition, should the quality of Applicant’s goods
`
`be lacking, Applicant’s use of the Subject Mark may also tarnish the good image of Beats’
`
`famous BEATS family of marks and each of them, and would thereby cause harm to Beats’
`
`reputation in violation of 15 U.S.C. §1125(c).
