`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`
`
`
`Applicant.
`
`
`
`Commissioner for Trademarks
`ATTN: Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`P.O. Box 1451
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1451
`
`Dear Commissioner:
`Opposer Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Studios Inc., a Delaware corporation, having its
`principal place of business at 245 N. Beverly Drive, Beverly Hills, California 90210
`(“Opposer”), believes that it will be harmed by the registration of the trademark STARGATE as
`shown in Application Serial No. 97/204,231 in Class 42 filed January 5, 2022 (the
`“Application”) by Applicant Vikram Arun, an individual, having an address of 1000 Brickell
`Plaza, Apt. 5908, Miami, Florida 33131 (“Applicant”), and hereby opposes its registration on
`the following grounds:
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND REGARDING OPPOSER’S
`STARGATE FRANCHISE AND TRADEMARKS
`In 1994, Opposer and/or its predecessors and related companies produced and
`1.
`promoted the highly successful and acclaimed space-themed motion picture Stargate. Since
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`then, Opposer and its predecessors and related companies have produced and promoted a media
`franchise centered around the Stargate motion picture, consisting of the motion pictures
`Stargate: The Ark of Truth (2008) and Stargate: Continuum (2008); television series, consisting
`of Stargate SG-1 (1997–2007), Stargate Atlantis (2004–2009), and Stargate Universe (2009–
`2011); the web series Stargate Origins (2018); the animated series Stargate Infinity (2002–
`2003); and video games, novels, comic books, magazines, and audiobooks (collectively, the
`“Stargate Franchise”). The Stargate Franchise is one of the most successful and well-known
`entertainment franchises of all time. In the Stargate Franchise, the titular “Stargate” is a term
`coined in the original Stargate referring to an ancient ring-shaped device that creates a
`wormhole, enabling travel to a similar device elsewhere in the universe. There is no meaning
`associated with the term “Stargate” other than to refer to the Stargate Franchise. See Exhibit A,
`which is a print out from the Meriam-Webster Dictionary, available online, searching the word
`“stargate”. The word is not found in such dictionary.
`Opposer owns the registered and common law trademarks associated with the
`2.
`Stargate Franchise,
`including
`the
`trademarks STARGATE, STARGATE SG-1, SGU
`STARGATE UNIVERSE (Stylized), STARGATE ATLANTIS, STARGATE: UNIVERSE,
`STARGATE: RESISTANCE, STARGATE ORIGINS, and STARGATE COMMAND
`(collectively, the “STARGATE Marks”). In addition, Opposer owns Registration Nos.
`1,917,418, 2,296,505, 2,297,059, 2,380,249, 3,723,392, 3,786,802, 3,890,169, 3,890,750,
`4,463,482, 5,537,066, and 5,547,176 of the STARGATE Marks, true and correct copies of which
`registrations, are attached hereto as Exhibit B. All of these registrations are valid and subsisting,
`and Opposer’s Registration Nos. 1,917,418, 2,296,505, 2,297,059, 2,380,249, 3,723,392,
`3,786,802, 3,890,169, 3,890,750, and 4,463,482 are incontestable pursuant to 15 U.S.C. §1065.
`The STARGATE Marks are extensively used in connection with, and to market
`3.
`and promote, the Stargate Franchise and a wide range of goods and services. Opposer has
`invested substantial time and expense promoting the Stargate Franchise and the STARGATE
`Marks. As a result of extensive sales, advertising, and promotion of the Stargate Franchise and
`
`
`
` 2
`
`

`

`
`
`the broad range of products and services sold or offered under the STARGATE Marks for more
`than two and a half decades, the STARGATE Marks have developed enormous goodwill and
`secondary meaning, and the STARGATE mark is famous under 15 U.S.C. §1125(c).
`
`
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND REGARDING THE APPLICATION
`On January 5, 2022, Applicant filed the Application in the Office seeking
`4.
`registration, on an intent-to-use basis, of STARGATE for “Providing temporary use of non-
`downloadable web-based decentralized applications (DApps) for investment information,
`cryptocurrency trading, and earning yields through cryptocurrency; Software design and
`development” in Class 42. Applicant’s identification of services was subsequently amended to
`“Software design and development” in Class 42. The filing date of the Application is after
`Opposer’s first use of its STARGATE Marks and after the applications to register the
`STARGATE Marks were filed.
`In the Application, Applicant explained the significance of his mark as follows:
`5.
`“Stargate appearing in the mark means or signifies or is a term of art for a hypothetical device
`consisting of a traversable portal (typically a wormhole) that can send one to another location
`light years away nearly instantaneously in the relevant trade or industry or as used in connection
`with the goods/services listed in the application.”
`The Application was published for opposition in the Official Gazette on May 30,
`6.
`
`2023.
`
`FIRST GROUND – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`Opposer incorporates the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 to 6 herein.
`7.
`Opposer has priority over Applicant for its STARGATE Marks. Opposer’s use
`8.
`and registrations of the STARGATE Marks pre-date Applicant’s filing date of the Application
`and any use of the STARGATE mark by more than two and a half decades.
`Applicant’s STARGATE mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s STARGATE
`9.
`Marks under 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). Applicant’s mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake or
`
`
`
` 3
`
`

`

`
`
`deception as to source, origin, affiliation, association, connection, or sponsorship of Applicant’s
`services offered or to be offered under the STARGATE mark with Opposer’s STARGATE
`Marks, the Stargate Franchise, the goods and services offered under the STARGATE Marks,
`and/or with Opposer and/or Opposer’s activities.
`
`
`SECOND GROUND – LIKELIHOOD OF DILUTION
`Opposer incorporates the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 to 9 herein.
`10.
`The STARGATE mark was famous before the Application was filed and before
`11.
`Applicant’s first use of the STARGATE mark.
`Applicant commercially uses the STARGATE mark or intends to do so.
`12.
`13.
`Applicant’s intended or actual use of the STARGATE mark in commerce is likely
`to cause dilution by blurring of Opposer’s STARGATE mark under 15 U.S.C. §1125(c).
`Specifically, Applicant’s STARGATE mark is likely to impair the distinctiveness of Opposer’s
`STARGATE mark.
`
`
`THIRD GROUND – FALSE SUGGESTION OF A CONNECTION
`Opposer incorporates the allegations contained in Paragraphs 1 to 13 herein.
`14.
`Applicant’s mark is the same as, or a close approximation of, the name of the
`15.
`Stargate Franchise previously used by and associated with Opposer. Applicant’s mark would be
`recognized as such, in that it points uniquely and unmistakably to the Stargate Franchise and/or
`Opposer.
` Neither Opposer nor the Stargate Franchise is connected with the activities
`16.
`performed or the goods or services offered or to be offered by Applicant under the STARGATE
`mark.
`
` The fame or reputation of the Stargate Franchise and/or Opposer is such that,
`17.
`when the STARGATE mark is used with Applicant’s services, a connection with the Stargate
`Franchise or Opposer would be presumed.
`
`
`
` 4
`
`

`

`
`
`DAMAGE TO OPPOSER
`Opposer would be damaged by the registration of the mark shown in the
`18.
`Application, in that such registration would give Applicant a prima facie right to use the mark
`STARGATE, despite the likelihood of confusion, likelihood of dilution, and false suggestion of a
`connection described above, and the ownership of the STARGATE Marks by Opposer.
`PRAYER
`WHEREFORE, Opposer prays that this Opposition be sustained in favor of Opposer and
`that registration of the Application be refused.
`The required fee of $600 for this Petition to Cancel has been charged to Deposit Account
`No. 50-4561.
