`For: THRIFTAGRAM

`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`INSTAGRAM, LLC,
`

`
`

`
`Applicant.
`
`
`
`UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`P.O. Box 1451
`Alexandria, Virginia 22313-1451
`
`Dear Sir or Madam:
`
`1.
`
`Instagram, LLC (“Opposer” or “Instagram”) believes it will be damaged by the
`
`registration of the mark THRIFTAGRAM (“Applicant’s Mark”) covered by Application Serial No.
`
`88/802,086 (the “Application”), which was filed on February 19, 2020, by Thriftagram.com
`
`(“Applicant”), and hereby opposes such registration. This Notice of Opposition has been timely filed.
`
`As grounds for its Opposition, Opposer alleges as follows:
`
`2.
`
`Instagram is a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters and principal
`
`place of business at 1601 Willow Road, Menlo Park, California 94025.
`
`3.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant maintains it is a Colorado Limited Liability
`
`Company with an address in care of Michael Bartholomew at 50 West Broadway, 10th Floor, Salt
`
`Lake City, Utah 84101.
`
`
`
`4.
`
`Regarding the Application, as published in the Official Gazette dated September 15,
`
`2020, Applicant seeks to register the mark THRIFTAGRAM in International Class 35 for: “On-line
`
`retail store services featuring clothing, household goods, electronics, and books.”
`
`5.
`
`Since the launch of its photo sharing and social networking service and software
`
`application in October 2010, Instagram has continuously used the trademark INSTAGRAM in
`
`interstate commerce in the United States in connection with its goods and services. Reflecting its
`
`trademark rights, Instagram owns U.S. registrations and applications for its INSTAGRAM mark,
`
`including the following:

`
`These registrations and applications cover a variety of goods and services, including but not limited to
`
`the following:
`
` Shopping and payment services, including providing online facilities for connecting sellers
`with buyers and providing online marketplaces;
`
` Providing use of online temporary non-downloadable software for enabling transmission of
`images and audiovisual and video content;
`
`2
`
`
`
` Providing temporary use of non-downloadable software applications for social networking,
`creating a virtual community, and transmission of audio, video, photographic images, text,
`graphics and data;
`
` Downloadable and non-downloadable computer software for modifying the appearance and
`enabling transmission of images, audio-visual and video content;
`
` Computer software for the collection, editing, organizing, modifying, transmission, storage and
`sharing of data and information;
`
` Providing computer, electronic and online databases in the field of entertainment;
`
` Marketing, advertising and promotion services;
`
` Telecommunications services, namely electronic transmission of data, messages, graphics,
`images, videos and information;
`
` Computer services, namely providing an interactive website featuring technology that allows
`users to manage their online photograph and social networking accounts; and
`
` Social introduction, networking and dating services.
`
`All of Instagram’s marks featuring the term INSTAGRAM are referred to herein as the
`
`“INSTAGRAM Mark.” Attached as Exhibit A are certificates of registration and current TSDR
`
`records for U.S. registrations of the INSTAGRAM Mark.
`
`6.
`
`The INSTAGRAM Mark is highly distinctive with regard to all of Instagram’s goods
`
`and services in connection with which the mark is used.
`
`7.
`
`Instagram’s INSTAGRAM Mark has priority over Applicant’s Application, which was
`
`filed on February 19, 2020, and claimed first use as of December 16, 2018 and first use in commerce
`
`as of December 16, 2018.
`
`8.
`
`Applicant’s THRIFTAGRAM Mark creates a similar commercial impression to the
`
`INSTAGRAM Mark.
`
`9.
`
`Applicant’s services claimed in its Application are related to the goods and services
`
`offered by Instagram in connection with its INSTAGRAM Mark.
`
`10.
`
`Applicant’s Mark is deceptively similar to the INSTAGRAM Mark so as to cause
`
`confusion, or to cause mistake or to deceive the public as to the origin of Applicant’s services offered
`
`3
`
`
`
`under Applicant’s Mark. Specifically, registration of Applicant’s Mark will lead the public to
`
`conclude, incorrectly, that Applicant is or has been affiliated or connected with Instagram, and/or that
`
`Applicant’s services provided under Applicant’s Mark are, or have been, authorized, sponsored,
`
`endorsed, or licensed by Instagram. Issuance of any registration to Applicant for the proposed mark
`
`will result in damage to Instagram and the public. Therefore, registration of Applicant’s Mark is
`
`prohibited by 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`11. Moreover, through Instagram’s widespread use of the INSTAGRAM Mark, extensive
`
`and continuous media coverage, the high degree of consumer recognition of the INSTAGRAM Mark,
`
`Instagram’s enormous and loyal user base, its multiple trademark registrations and pending
`
`applications, and other factors, the INSTAGRAM Mark is strong, enjoys widespread recognition
`
`among consumers, and has become famous within the meaning of Section 43(a) of the United States
`
`Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).
`
`12.
`
`The INSTAGRAM Mark was famous before Applicant filed the Application at issue
`
`and before Applicant began using Applicant’s Mark.
`
`13.
`
`Applicant’s Mark has caused or is likely to cause dilution of the distinctive quality of
`
`the INSTAGRAM Mark and/or harm the reputation of the INSTAGRAM Mark in violation of 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1125(c), to the harm and damage of Instagram and the public.
`
`14.
`
`Therefore, registration of Applicant’s Mark should be refused under 15 U.S.C. §§ 1052
`
`and 1063(a).
`
`15.
`
`Registration of Applicant’s Mark would constitute prima facie evidence of the validity
`
`of such registration, Applicant’s ownership of Applicant’s Mark, and Applicant’s exclusive right to use
`
`the THRIFTAGRAM mark pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. § 1057(b). Such registration would
`
`be a source of damage and injury to Instagram and the public, and would be contrary to the principles
`
`of registration set out in 15 U.S.C. §§ 1051 et seq.
`
`4
`
`
`
`16.
`
`Additionally, upon information and belief, Applicant Thriftagram.com has ceased usage
`
`of Applicant’s Mark and has no intent to resume use of THRIFTAGRAM.
`
`17.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant Thriftagram.com has been voluntarily dissolved
`
`as of June 3, 2020 as shown below from the Colorado Secretary of State’s website, attached as Exhibit
`
`B.
`
`18.
`
`Applicant’s website at thriftagram.com is inactive, does not exist, or is not available,
`
`and does not show usage of Applicant’s Mark, as shown in the screenshot below and attached as
`
`Exhibit C.
`
`19.
`
`Applicant’s Mark should therefore be refused registration under 15 U.S.C. § 1127(1).
`
