`CONSOLIDATED NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Opposer Snap Inc., a corporation organized and existing under the laws of Delaware with
`
`a principal place of business at 3000 31st Street, Santa Monica, California 90405 (“Snap”), will
`
`be damaged by registration of the marks SNAPNSTOR and SNAP-N-STOR (“Applicant’s
`
`Marks”) set forth in Application Serial Nos. 87206179 and 87206206 (the “Applications”), owned
`
`by Peter Ferraro III, an individual with an address of record at 34 Norm Avenue, Bedford Hills,
`
`New York 10507 (“Applicant”), and states the following for its opposition to the Application:
`
`1.
`
`Snap is the designer and distributor of the extremely popular SNAPCHAT camera
`
`and messaging application—available for both the iOS and Android operating systems—that,
`
`among other things, allows users to edit and share photographs, videos, and messages (“Snap
`
`Created Content”) with others via mobile devices. The SNAPCHAT app launched in 2011.
`
`2.
`
`In addition, Snap has adopted and used numerous trademarks incorporating the
`
`term “SNAP” in connection with a wide variety of goods and services that includes and extends
`
`beyond the SNAPCHAT mobile application. By way of example only, in addition its use of the
`
`SNAPCHAT mark, Snap has adopted and used its SNAP, SNAPCODE, and SNAP ADS marks
`
`in connection with a variety of goods and services (collectively, the “SNAP Marks”), including
`
`

`

`social networking services, software for sending digital photos, videos, images and texts to others
`
`via a global computer network, software for creating digital emblems and encoding data into digital
`
`emblems, and advertising and marketing for others.
`
`3.
`
`Snap owns numerous federal registrations for certain of its SNAP Marks, which
`
`cover a broad range of goods and services in Classes 9, 35, 36, 38, 41, 42, and 45, including those
`
`shown below (collectively, the “SNAP Registrations”):

`
`The SNAP Registrations are valid and subsisting, and copies of the Certificates of
`
`Registration for each of the marks are attached collectively as Exhibit 1.
`
`5.
`
`Snap has extensively promoted and distributed its mobile application and related
`
`goods and services in connection with its SNAP Marks. These efforts have been extraordinarily
`
`successful. Since its launch in 2011, the SNAPCHAT application has been one of the fastest
`
`growing and most popular smartphone applications in the United States and the world. The
`
`SNAPCHAT application was declared the “Fastest Rising Startup” at the 2012 TechCrunch
`
`Crunchies Awards, and “Best Mobile Application” at the 2013 TechCrunch Crunchies Awards.1
`
`
`1 Attached collectively as Exhibit 2 are true and correct copies of two TechCrunch.com articles
`
`
`

`
`

`

`By February 2014, a study concluded that 77% of U.S. college students use the SNAPCHAT
`
`application at least once per day.2 By the end of 2014, the SNAPCHAT application had 70 million
`
`daily active users, and by the end of 2015, the app had over 100 million daily active users.3
`
`6.
`
`By February 2017, the SNAPCHAT application had an estimated 79% market share
`
`among teenagers and young adults in the United States, giving it the highest reach of social media
`
`and networking sites, surpassing Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter.4 Today, the growth continues:
`
`as of October 20, 2020, Snap’s revenue increased 52% year-over-year—the highest third quarter
`
`growth rate since 2017.5 Its market share has also increased since 2017, with Snap now reaching
`
`over 90% of the Gen Z population (those born between 1997 and 2012) in the United States and
`
`other countries like the United Kingdom and France, and 75% of the Gen Z and millennial
`
`population (those born between 1981 and 1996) in these same regions.6

`

`7.
`
`In 2019 alone, over 1.3 trillion items of Snap Created Content were produced by
`
`users,7 and as of October 20, 2020, an average of 249 million people use the SNAPCHAT application
`
`daily.8
`
`8.
`
`The dramatic growth of the SNAPCHAT application made Snap’s stock market
`
`debut in early 2017 one of the most anticipated and publicized IPOs of any U.S.-based technology
`
`company in history. Since the IPO, Snap continues to add new verticals to its business; some of its
`
`fastest growing include streaming, Tech, and eCommerce.9 Through these and other offerings,
`
`Snap has partnered with companies like Pepsico, MGM, and HiSmile.10 Snap has also entered
`
`high-profile advertising partnerships with the National Football League, Gatorade, Chase,
`
`BuzzFeed, Mashable, Cosmopolitan, CNN, HBO MAX, and Michael Kors, among others. Since
`
`its founding, Snap and the goods and services offered under its SNAPCHAT and SNAP marks
`
`have been the subject of thousands of articles in a wide range of media, solidifying the general
`
`public’s exclusive association of the SNAPCHAT and SNAP marks with Snap’s goods and
`
`services.
`
`9.
`
`As a result of Snap’s extensive use and promotion of the SNAP Marks, the vast
`
`advertising and publicity the SNAP Marks have received, the substantial trading area in which the
`
`SNAP Marks are used, and the high degree of consumer recognition of the SNAP Marks, the
`
`SNAP Marks are strong, and deserving of a broad scope of legal protection, with the SNAPCHAT
`
`mark having become famous and widely recognized by the general public as an indicator of the
`
`
`7 Attached as Exhibit 7 is the transcript from Snap Inc.’s report of financial results for the fourth
`quarter and full year 2019 (https://s25.q4cdn.com/442043304/files/transcript/q4-2019-transcript-

`

`origin of Snap’s goods and services. Snap consequently derives invaluable goodwill from this
`
`recognition, association, and identification by the consuming public and the trade.
`
`10.
`
`Notwithstanding Snap’s prior rights in the SNAP Marks, and long after the
`
`SNAPCHAT mark became famous, Applicant filed the Applications with the USPTO on October
`
`17, 2016, to register the SNAPNSTOR and SNAP-N-STOR marks on the Principal Register for
`
`the following goods and services:
`
`Class 9: Computer application software for mobile phones, namely, software for
`
`creating and processing digital
`
`images, searching
`
`image databases, database
`
`management, and electronic storage of data; Computer application software for tablets,
`
`desktop computers, namely, software for creating and processing digital images, searching
`
`image databases, database management, and electronic storage of data; Computer
`
`software for accessing information directories that may be downloaded from the global
`
`computer network; Computer software to enhance the audio-visual capabilities of
`
`multimedia applications, namely, for the integration of text, audio, graphics, still images
`
`and moving pictures; Computer software, namely, an application allowing sales and field
`
`service employees to update and receive data stored in an enterprise's computer databases
`
`in real time, using a mobile device, with full telephony integration with the telephone
`
`and/or software features of the mobile device; Downloadable mobile applications for
`
`creating and processing digital
`
`images, searching
`
`image databases, database
`
`management, and electronic storage of data; Vehicle detection equipment, namely, display
`
`monitors, computers, image sensors, video cameras, and operating system and application
`
`software to detect vehicle location
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`Class 38: Internet services, namely, providing multiple-user access to information
`
`on the internet concerning the development and generation of computer software for use
`
`in businesses as well as the functions and application of such business software
`
`Class 42: Application service provider, namely, hosting, managing, developing,
`
`analyzing, and maintaining applications, software, and web sites, of others in the fields of
`
`advertising and marketing; Computer services, namely, providing an interactive web site
`
`featuring technology that allows users to consolidate and manage social networks,
`
`accounts, and connections to existing and emerging application programming interfaces
`
`(APIs); Providing a website featuring resources, namely, a website featuring primarily
`
`non-downloadable software for creating and processing digital images, searching image
`
`databases, database management, and electronic storage of data and also featuring non-
`
`downloadable publications in the nature of electronic books, books, flyers, and brochures
`
`featuring images, videos, photos in the field of physical storage; Providing temporary use
`
`of non-downloadable computer software for tracking packages over computer networks,
`
`intranets and the internet
`
`11.
`
`The Applications were filed originally on an intent-to-use basis. There is no issue
`
`as to priority. Snap’s use of its SNAP Marks began years prior to the filing of the Applications and
`
`before any actual or constructive use date of Applicant’s Marks.
`
`12.
`
`Consumers familiar with the goods and services offered in connection with the
`
`SNAP Marks are likely to assume that goods and services offered under Applicant’s Marks
`
`originate from the same source or that they are affiliated, connected, or associated with Snap.
`
`
`
`6
`
`

`

`13.
`
`Applicant’s Marks are very similar to the SNAP Marks in appearance and
`
`commercial impression. Indeed, Applicant’s Marks incorporate the entirety of the SNAP
`
`trademark.
`
`14.
`
`The goods and services recited in the Applications are identical or closely related
`
`to the goods and services that Snap currently provides in interstate commerce in connection with
`
`its SNAP Marks, and which it provided before the filing date of the Applications and before any
`
`actual or constructive use date of Applicant’s Marks.
`
`15.
`
`Snap would be damaged by registration of Applicant’s Marks because the marks so
`
`closely resemble the SNAP Marks as to be likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception.
`
`Persons familiar with the SNAP Marks, and the goods and services offered under those marks,
`
`would be likely to believe erroneously that Applicant’s goods and services are the goods and
`
`services of Snap or are authorized, endorsed, sponsored, or licensed by Snap. Thus, registration of
`
`Applicant’s Marks on the Principal Register would be inconsistent with Snap’s strong prior rights
`
`in its SNAP Marks under 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`16.
`
`Snap would also be damaged by registration of Applicant’s Marks because the
`
`marks are likely to dilute the distinctiveness of the famous SNAPCHAT mark by eroding
`
`consumers’ exclusive identification of the mark with Snap, and otherwise lessening the capacity
`
`for Snap to identify and distinguish its goods and services, in violation of Section 43(c)(1) of the
`
`Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(1).
`
`17.
`
`Snap therefore requests that the Board sustain this proceeding in Snap’s favor by
`
`refusing registration to the SNAPNSTOR and SNAP-N-STOR marks underlying Application
`
`Serial Nos. 87206179 and 87206206.

`
`for Renewal between the 9th and 10th years after the registration date.* See 15 U.S.C. §1059.
