`the mark
`
` (“Rounded Square Gradient Design”) covered by Application Serial No.
`
`90045650 filed on July 10, 2020, by Zibo Youjia Network Technology Co., Ltd. (“Applicant”), and

`hereby opposes such registration.
`

`
`Instagram is a Delaware limited liability company with its headquarters and principal

`
`3.
`
`This Notice of Opposition has been timely filed. As grounds of opposition, Instagram
`
`alleges as follows.
`
`4.
`
`As published in the Official Gazette dated December 15, 2020, Applicant seeks to
`
`register the mark
`
` (“Rounded Square Gradient Design”) in International Class 9 for
`
`“Downloadable computer software for taking, editing, and sharing photos and videos; Downloadable

`
`
`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`6.
`
`Since May 2016, Instagram has continually used its
`
` (“Multi-Color Camera

` (“Spectrum Multi-Color Gradient Mark”) in interstate commerce in the
`
`United States in connection with its goods and services (
`
` collectively, the “Instagram

`These registrations cover a variety of goods and services, including but not limited to the following:

`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
` Software for modifying and enabling transmission of images and audiovisual and video

`
` Software for managing social networking profiles and accounts; and
`
` Social introduction, networking and dating services
`
`Attached as Exhibit A are certificates of registration and current TSDR records for U.S. registrations
`
`of the Instagram Spectrum Gradient Marks.
`
`7.
`
`The Instagram Spectrum Gradient Marks are highly distinctive with regard to all of
`
`Instagram’s goods and services in connection with which the marks are used.
`
`8.
`
`The Instagram Spectrum Gradient Marks have priority over Applicant’s Application,
`
`which claims a first use in commerce date of September 10, 2019.
`
`9.
`
`Applicant’s Mark creates a similar commercial impression as the Instagram Spectrum
`
`Gradient Marks.
`
`10.
`
`Applicant’s goods claimed in its Application are offered by Instagram in connection
`
`with the Instagram Spectrum Gradient Marks.
`
`11.
`
`Further to Applicant’s specimen of use submitted to the USPTO for Application Serial
`
`No. 90/045,650 available at

`
`

`
`

`

`
`
`5&page=1 as shown below, Applicant has been using its
`
` (Rounded Square Gradient Design)
`
`mark in connection with a mobile app for editing photos and videos for sharing on social media
`
`platforms as shown below, using the developer name Square Quick & Pic Collage Maker. The mobile
`
`app is available on the Google Play store at
`
`https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=videoeditor.videomaker.slideshow.fotoplay&hl=None
`
`The specimen shows Applicant’s use of the Rounded Square Gradient Design for a mobile app for
`
`creating, editing, and sharing photo/videos to “help you edit and share your photo music video on…
`
`Instagram with others”.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`12.
`
`Upon information and belief, in addition to
`
`, Applicant has also used multiple
`
`other gradient design marks such as
`
` for mobile apps under the same
`
`developer name “Square Quick & Pic Collage Maker” on Google Play and other app marketplaces.
`Screenshots and app download locations of some of these uses are below and listed in Exhibit B.

`
`13.
`
`Applicant has deliberately adopted these
`
`
`
` gradient
`
`design marks for use in connection with mobile apps for photo/video editing and sharing to mimic the
`
` Instagram Spectrum Gradient Marks. In fact, Applicant’s gradient design marks are
`
`specifically marketed for use for/with Instagram, with statements such as:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
` “post your size photos and collage to Instagram quickly or resize photos to fit
`
`Instagram”
`
` “Repost Instagram & Video Downloader” “…helps you download or repost
`
`your favorite videos and photos from Instagram & IGTV. “Download or re-download
`
`photos on Instagram IGTV Post”
`
` “Download & Repost for Instagram - Image Downloader” “Image Downloader
`
`will help you download or repost your favorite videos and pictures from Instagram &
`
`IGTV.”
`
` “help you edit and share your photo music video on… Instagram with others”
`
`14.
`
`Applicant’s
`
` Mark is deceptively similar to the Instagram Spectrum Gradient
`
`Marks so as to cause confusion, or to cause mistake or to deceive the public as to the origin of
`7
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`Applicant’s services offered 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).
`
`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
`
` (Rounded Square Gradient Design) mark pursuant to the provisions of 15 U.S.C. § 1057(b).
`

`

`REQUIREMENTS TO MAINTAIN YOUR FEDERAL TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
`
`WARNING: YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED IF YOU DO NOT FILE THE
`DOCUMENTS BELOW DURING THE SPECIFIED TIME PERIODS.
`
`Requirements in the First Ten  Years*
`What and When to File:
`
`First Filing Deadline:  You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) between the 5th and 6th
`
`years after the registration date.
`
` See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k.
`
` If the declaration is accepted, the
`
`registration will continue in force for the remainder of the ten-year period, calculated from the registration
`
`date, unless cancelled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a federal court.
`
`Second Filing Deadline:  You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) and an Application
`
`for Renewal between the 9th and 10th years after the registration date.* See 15 U.S.C. §1059.
`
`Requirements in Successive Ten-Year Periods*
`What and When to File:
`
` and  an  Application for Renewal
`You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse)
`between every 9th and 10th-year period, calculated from the registration date.*
`
`Grace Period Filings*
`
`The above documents will be accepted as timely if filed within six months after the deadlines listed above with
`the payment of an additional fee.
`
`*ATTENTION MADRID PROTOCOL REGISTRANTS:  The holder of an international registration with an
`extension of protection to the United States under the Madrid Protocol must timely file the Declarations of Use
`(or Excusable Nonuse) referenced above directly with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
`The time periods for filing are based on the U.S. registration date (not the international registration date).  The
`deadlines and grace periods for the Declarations of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) are identical to those for
`nationally issued registrations.  See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1141k.  However, owners of international registrations
`do not file renewal applications at the USPTO. Instead, the holder must file a renewal of the underlying
`international registration at the International Bureau of the  World Intellectual Property Organization, under
`Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol, before the expiration of each ten-year term of protection, calculated from the
`date of the international registration.  See 15 U.S.C. §1141j.  For more information and renewal forms for the
`international registration, see http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/.
`
`NOTE:  Fees and requirements for maintaining registrations are subject to change.  Please check the
`USPTO website for further information.
` With the exception of renewal applications for registered
`extensions of protection, you can file the registration maintenance documents referenced above online at h
`ttp://www.uspto.gov.
`
`NOTE:  A courtesy e-mail reminder of USPTO maintenance filing deadlines will be sent to trademark
`owners/holders who authorize e-mail communication and maintain a current e-mail address with the
`USPTO. To ensure that e-mail is authorized and your address is current, please use the Trademark
`Electronic  Application System (TEAS) Correspondence  Address and Change of Owner  Address Forms
`available at http://www.uspto.gov.
