`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Twitter, Inc., a Delaware corporation, having a place of business at 1355 Market Street,
`
`Suite 900, San Francisco, CA 94103 (hereinafter “Twitter” or “Opposer”) believes it will be
`
`damaged by the registration of the mark TWEET (“Applicant’s TWEET Mark”), as claimed in
`
`Application Serial Number 88/884,253; (“Applicant’s TWEET Application”) by B. Fernandez&
`
`Hnos. (“Applicant”).
`
`As grounds for this opposition it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Twitter, a pioneer in the communication and social networking space, is world
`
`renowned for its innovative microblogging and social media platform. More specifically, Twitter
`
`provides a real-time global information network that allows the public to discover what’s
`
`happening in the world, share information and connect to anyone, anywhere in real time. Since at
`
`least as early as 2006, Twitter has offered a platform that allows users to send, receive, post, share
`
`and access messages, photos, music, videos and other information and engage in real-time sharing
`
`of information and social networking.
`
`2.
`
`On April 16, 2009, Twitter filed Application Serial Number 77/715,815 for
`
`69322793.2
`
`
`
`TWEET (the “TWEET Mark”), which the United States Patent and Trademark Office (the
`
`“USPTO”) issued on May 21, 2013, as United States Trademark Registration Number 4,338,963
`
`(the “TWEET Registration”), with a first-use date at least as early as May, 2008, covering the
`
`following
`
`services:
`
`“Telecommunications
`
`services, namely, providing online
`
`and
`
`telecommunication facilities for real-time interaction between and among users of computers,
`
`mobile and handheld computers, and wired and wireless communication devices; enabling
`
`individuals to send and receive messages via email, instant messaging or a website on the internet
`
`in the field of general interest; providing on-line chat rooms and electronic bulletin boards for
`
`transmission of messages among users in the field of general interest; providing an online
`
`community forum for users to share information, photos, audio and video content about
`
`themselves, their likes and dislikes and daily activities, to get feedback from their peers, to form
`
`virtual communities, and to engage in social networking,” in International Class 38; “Providing
`
`on-line journals, namely, blogs featuring user-defined content” in International Class 41; and
`
`“Online social networking services; providing a website on the internet for the purpose of social
`
`networking; providing on-line computer databases and on-line searchable databases in the field of
`
`social networking” in International Class 45. The TWEET Registration has become incontestable,
`
`and the mark claimed in the TWEET Registration is currently in use and has been continuously in
`
`use since at least as early as the foregoing first use date. A copy of the registration certificate and
`
`the TSDR status page for the TWEET Registration is attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`3.
`
`On August 26, 2010, Twitter filed Application Serial Number 85/116,717 (the
`
`“TWEET Application”) for the TWEET Mark, which now covers the following goods and
`
`services: “Software and software applications to enable transmission, access, organization, and
`
`management of text messaging, instant messaging, online blog journals, text, weblinks, and images
`
`69322793.2
`
`2
`
`
`
`via the internet and other communications networks; computer software used to enhance the
`
`capabilities and features of other software and nondownloadable online software; software for
`
`accessing information on a global computer network; downloadable software via the internet and
`
`wireless devices for accessing, sending, and receiving information on a global computer network;
`
`downloadable software for computers, portable handheld digital electronic communication
`
`devices, mobile devices, and wired and wireless communication devices in the field of social
`
`networking; downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application for use with computers,
`
`portable handheld digital electronic communication devices, mobile devices, and wired and
`
`wireless communication devices; downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application for
`
`social networking; downloadable software in the nature of a mobile application for real-time
`
`delivery of data, messages, location, photographs, links, text and other data related thereto;
`
`downloadable software to facilitate online advertising, business promotion, connecting social
`
`network users with businesses and for tracking users and advertising of others to provide strategy,
`
`insight, marketing, and predicting consumer behavior” in International Class 9; and “Advertising
`
`and marketing; advertising services; online advertising and marketing services; business data
`
`analysis; promotional services; business networking; online service for connecting social network
`
`users with businesses; business monitoring and consulting services, namely, tracking users and
`
`advertising of others to provide strategy, insight, marketing guidance, and for analyzing,
`
`understanding and predicting consumer behavior and motivations, and market trends” in
`
`International Class 35. A copy of the TSDR status page for the TWEET Application is attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit B.
`
`4.
`
`Twitter also owns numerous other trademark applications and registrations in the
`
`Unites States and worldwide for the TWEET Mark, other iterations of the TWEET mark such as
`
`69322793.2
`
`3
`
`
`
`TWEETDECK, COTWEET, SUBTWEET, TWEETSTORM, among others, and numerous
`
`domain names that incorporate the TWEET Mark, earning a broad scope of protection in its family
`
`of TWEET marks.
`
`5.
`
`Twitter uses the TWEET Mark in connection with the services recited in the
`
`TWEET Registration as well as various other goods and services, including but not limited to
`
`general merchandise. The foregoing goods and services, as well as the goods and services recited
`
`in the TWEET Application are collectively referred to herein as the TWEET Goods and Services.
`
`By virtue of widespread and continuous use of its TWEET Mark, Twitter has established extensive
`
`common law rights in the TWEET Mark, including in connection with the TWEET Goods and
`
`Services.
`
`6.
`
`Twitter’s innovative platform is one of the world’s largest and most well-known
`
`information sharing, social networking and micro-blogging services. The Twitter platform allows
`
`users to send and read short 280 character messages called TWEETS, as well as post, share and
`
`access audio, photos, music, videos, and other media, via Twitter’s website, mobile applications,
`
`and SMS services. The platform has revolutionized the way people find, share and access
`
`information and data. Twitter has at least 330 million monthly active users who send at least 500
`
`million TWEETS per day. The Twitter platform is used to share breaking news stories and photos
`
`from around the world and to engage in world events. When United States President Barack Obama
`
`was reelected in 2012, he included a photo as part of a TWEET acknowledging he was reelected
`
`and within hours, the photo became the most shared TWEET in history at that time, ultimately
`
`being shared by more than 767 thousand users. That record was broken in 2014 when Academy
`
`Awards host Ellen DeGeneres’s TWEET that included a celebrity-packed photo was shared by
`
`more than 3.4 million users – and the record has since been broken again by other users.
`
`69322793.2
`
`4
`
`
`
`7.
`
`Twitter has expended substantial monies in marketing, advertising, and promoting
`
`the TWEET Mark and, through such sales and advertising, has generated substantial goodwill and
`
`customer recognition in the TWEET Mark. Twitter has derived substantial revenues from the
`
`TWEET Goods and Services under the TWEET Mark.
`
`8.
`
`Through extensive use, promotion and success of the TWEET Mark, the public
`
`readily associates the TWEET Mark with Twitter. As such, the public has come to know TWEET
`
`as an indication of goods and services that originate from or are affiliated with Twitter, including
`
`the TWEET Goods and Services. As a result of the marketing, sales, and success of the TWEET
`
`Goods and Services under the TWEET Mark, and of the public’s widespread use of the TWEET
`
`Goods and Services, such goods and services have come to be, and now are, well and favorably
`
`known under the TWEET Mark as products and services of high quality and reliability.
`
`9.
`
`The TWEET Mark is distinctive of the TWEET Goods and Services. Valuable
`
`goodwill has accumulated in the TWEET Mark inuring solely to Twitter.
`
`10.
`
`The success of Twitter and the TWEET Goods and Services offered in connection
`
`with the TWEET Mark, the significant and continuous media coverage, and the distinctiveness of
`
`the TWEET Mark have resulted in Twitter’s TWEET Mark being adopted by consumers and
`
`media outlets to refer to Twitter and Twitter’s Goods and Services.
`
`11.
`
`As a result of Twitter’s widespread and significant popularity, Twitter’s TWEET
`
`Mark is famous and well known to consumers. Twitter’s TWEET mark was famous at the time
`
`Applicant filed Applicant’s TWEET Application.
`
`69322793.2
`
`5
`
`
`
`12.
`
`Applicant filed the following Applicant’s TWEET Application:
`
`Application
`Number
`88/884,253
`
`Mark
`
`Offerings Covered by Application
`
`Filing Date
`
`TWEET
`
`International Class 31: Bird food
`
`April 23, 2020
`
`13.
`
`Copies of the TSDR status page for Applicant’s TWEET Application is attached
`
`hereto as Exhibit C.
`
`14.
`
`On information and belief, consumers will likely associate Applicant’s TWEET
`
`Mark with Twitter and the TWEET Goods and Services and will assume there is a relationship
`
`between Applicant and Twitter.
`
`15.
`
`If Applicant is permitted to register the mark shown in Applicant’s TWEET
`
`Application, Applicant’s corresponding right to use Applicant’s TWEET Mark in nationwide
`
`commerce will conflict with Twitter’s lawful and exclusive right to use the TWEET Mark
`
`nationwide in connection with Twitter’s Goods and Services.
`
`16.
`
`Applicant’s TWEET Mark is identical to Twitter’s TWEET Mark.
`
`17.
`
`Applicant’s goods, as recited in Applicant’s TWEET Application, would be
`
`promoted, advertised, and/or sold in identical or similar channels of trade as Twitter’s Goods and
`
`Services and would be seen by and/or purchased by the same or similar consumers.
`
`18.
`
`As a result of the similarity between Applicant’s TWEET Mark and Twitter’s
`
`TWEET Mark, and the parties’ respective goods and services, among other things, Applicant’s
`
`TWEET Mark is likely to cause consumer confusion, mistake or deception in the trade and among
`
`consumers as to the source, origin, or sponsorship of the respective goods and services.
`
`19.
`
`If Applicant is permitted to use and register Applicant’s TWEET Mark in
`
`69322793.2
`
`6
`
`
`
`connection with Applicant’s goods, confusion in trade resulting in irreparable damage and injury
`
`to Twitter would be caused by reason of the similarity between Applicant’s TWEET Mark and
`
`Twitter’s TWEET Mark. Persons familiar with Twitter’s TWEET Mark would be likely to buy
`
`Applicant’s goods believing that such products are provided by, endorsed by, or associated with
`
`Twitter, which is not the case. Furthermore, any defect, objection or fault found with Applicant’s
`
`goods marketed under Applicant’s TWEET Mark would necessarily reflect upon and seriously
`
`injure the reputation which Twitter has established for the TWEET Goods and Services sold and
`
`provided under Twitter’s TWEET Mark.
`
`20.
`
`Registration of Applicant’s TWEET Application, and use of Applicant’s TWEET
`
`Mark, will cause dilution by blurring or dilution by tarnishment of Twitter’s famous TWEET
`
`Mark.
`
`21.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant did not use Applicant’s TWEET Mark in
`
`commerce or file Applicant’s TWEET Application before Twitter began using the TWEET Mark
`
`in United States commerce.
`
`22.
`
`Twitter’s TWEET Registration and TWEET Application each have a filing date
`
`that predates the filing date of Applicant’s TWEET Application.
`
`23.
`
`Applicant’s application to register Applicant’s TWEET Mark is without Twitter’s
`
`consent or permission.
`
`24.
`
`In view of Twitter’s prior rights in the TWEET Mark, Applicant is not entitled to
`
`registration of the mark of Applicant’s TWEET Application.
`
`25.
`
`Twitter’s opposition to Applicant’s TWEET Application is timely.
`
`26.
`
`By reason of the foregoing, Twitter will be damaged by the registration of
`
`Applicant’s TWEET Mark.
`
`69322793.2
`
`7
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Twitter prays that this Notice of Opposition be sustained and that
`
`Applicant’s TWEET Application be denied registration.
