`

`
`
`
`BEATS ELECTRONICS, LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposer,
`
` v.
`
`
`SHERMELL S. DAVIS,
`
`
`
`
`
`Applicant.
`
`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Beats Electronics, LLC (“Beats”), a limited liability company organized under the laws
`
`of Delaware with a place of business at 8600 Hayden Place, Culver City, CA 90232, believes
`
`that it will be damaged by the registration of the mark SMOKING-BEATS HOW HOT IS THAT
`
`BEATS & Design in International Class 25, as shown in Application Serial No. 86/071,151 filed
`
`by Applicant Shermell S. Davis (“Applicant”) and therefore hereby opposes the same and
`
`requests that registration to Applicant be refused.
`
`The grounds for Beats’ Opposition are as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Beats is a worldwide leader in providing a premium sound experience at every
`
`touch point of the consumer’s life. Beats’ mission is to provide a superior end-to-end music
`
`experience - with headphones, devices, and services - so fans feel the emotion and hear the music
`
`the way artists intended it to sound from the studio. Moreover, Beats’ products are among the
`
`most popular audio-related products in the United States, have been extensively promoted and
`
`advertised, and have been the subject of extensive unsolicited publicity resulting from their high-
`
`quality, innovative design and well-received marketing campaigns.
`
`

`
`
`
`Beats’ Prior Rights
`
`2.
`
`Since substantially prior to the acts of Applicant alleged herein, Beats has been
`
`using and continues to use a variety of marks incorporating the term “BEATS” in connection
`
`with the distribution and sale, of audio-related products, entertainment services, and apparel
`
`3.
`
`Beats owns several U.S. federal registrations for marks incorporating the term
`
`“BEATS,” including the following:

`
`
`
`4.
`
`Through the common law use, application, and registration of various marks
`
`incorporating the term “BEATS,” Beats has created a family of marks such that consumers have
`
`become accustomed to seeing and therefore recognizing products and services with BEATS-
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`based marks as originating from Beats (hereinafter referred to as the “family of BEATS marks”
`
`or “the BEATS Marks”). The public has come to recognize the common characteristic of the
`
`family of BEATS marks (the term BEAT or BEATS in each of them) as indicating the source of
`
`these goods, namely, Beats.
`
`5.
`
`Beats has devoted substantial resources, time, and effort to develop, market, and,
`
`and promote its BEATS Marks. Through these efforts, and long before the filing of the
`
`Application, Beats built up and established extensive and valuable goodwill in the BEATS
`
`Marks. As a result, the public has come to know, identify, and recognize products and services
`
`bearing or marketed in association with marks incorporating the term “BEATS” as originating
`
`with or authorized by Beats.
`
`6.
`
`Furthermore, through Beats’ efforts BEATS Marks, both individually and
`
`collectively, have become famous and had become famous prior to Applicant’s filing of the
`
`Application.
`
`
`
`Beats Will Be Harmed If Applicant’s Mark Registers
`
`7.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant is a U.S. citizen with a mailing address of
`
`1008 Amsterdam Land, Albany, Georgia 31705 U.S.A.
`
`8.
`
`On September 21, 2013, notwithstanding Beats’ prior rights in and to the BEATS
`
`Marks, Applicant filed its application to register SMOKING-BEATS HOW HOT IS THAT
`
`BEATS & Design (“Applicant’s Mark”) in International Class 25 for “T-shirts,” Application
`
`Serial No. 86/071,151 (the “Application”). The Application was filed under Lanham Act §1(b),
`
`based on Applicant’s alleged intent to use the mark in U.S. commerce.
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`9.
`
`The Application was published in the Official Gazette (Trademarks) of the United
`
`States Patent and Trademark Office on February 18, 2014. This Opposition is timely pursuant to
`
`the U.S. Trademark Trial & Appeal Board’s June 18, 2014 order allowing Beats until August 17,
`
`2014 to institute an opposition.
`
`10.
`
`There is no issue of priority. Each of the foregoing registrations for marks in the
`
`family of BEATS marks has been in actual use or has a constructive use date prior to Applicant’s
`
`Mark’s filing date, September 21, 2013, and cover products and services that are identical or
`
`closely related to the goods identified in the Application.
`
`11.
`
`The goods set forth in the Application are the same, similar, or complementary
`
`and related to the products and services marketed by Beats under its BEATS Marks. For
`
`example, Beats has a federal registration for the BEATS marks for the identical goods, T-Shirts
`
`(U.S. Reg. No. 4,361,690), closely related apparel goods, caps and hats (U.S. Reg. No.
`
`4,529,746), as well as multiple registrations for marks incorporating the term “BEATS” for
`
`products and services marketed along with these products.
`
`12.
`
`Applicant’s advertising and use of Applicant’s Mark as contemplated in the
`
`Application will inevitably reach the same consumers that Beats targets with the use of its family
`
`of BEATS marks.
`
`13.
`
`Consumers, upon seeing Applicant’s Mark used in connection with Applicant’s
`
`goods and services are likely to mistakenly believe Applicant’s Mark, and the goods or services
`
`provided in connection with it, originated from or are connected with, sponsored by, associated
`
`with, or licensed or approved by Beats.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`14.
`
`The BEATS Marks and Applicant’s Mark share the identical element “Beats”.
`
`Thus, the BEATS Marks, both individually and collectively, are substantially similar in sight,
`
`sound, and meaning to Applicant’s Mark.
`
`15.
`
`Applicant’s Mark is confusingly similar to the previously used BEATS Marks,
`
`both individually and collectively, and therefore, if Applicant’s Mark were allowed to register
`
`for “T-shirts” as set forth in the Application, such registration would likely cause confusion,
`
`mistake, or deception among consumers concerning the origin, source or sponsorship of
`
`Applicant’s products in violation of 15 U.S.C. § § 1052(d), 1114(1), 1125(a).
`
`16.
`
`If Applicant’s Mark were allowed to register, the confusion with the BEATS
`
`Marks, both individually and collectively, would result in damage and injury to Beats and to the
`
`public.
`
`17.
`
`Given Beats’ considerable reputation, registration of Applicant’s Mark is likely to
`
`cause dilution of the distinctiveness of Beats’ BEATS Marks, both individually and collectively,
`
`in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c). In addition, should the quality of Applicant’s goods be
`
`lacking, Applicant’s use of Applicant’s Mark may also tarnish the BEATS Marks, both
`
`individually and collectively, resulting in harm to Beats’ reputation in violation of 15 U.S.C.
`
`§1125(c).
`
`18.
`
`Beats will continue to be irreparably damaged by registration of Applicant’s
`
`confusingly similar mark. Deficiencies or faults in the quality of Applicant’s products are likely
`
`to reflect negatively upon, tarnish and seriously injure the reputation which Beats has established
`
`for its products and services marketed under its BEATS Marks. This confusion is likely to result
`
`in loss of revenues to Beats and damage to its reputation.

`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Beats Electronics, LLC requests that the registration sought by Applicant
`
`be refused and that this Notice of Opposition be sustained.
`
`Beats authorizes the T.T.A.B. to charge the fees for opposition in one class and any
`
`additional fees related to this matter to the deposit account of Neal, Gerber & Eisenberg LLP.
