`JASON SCHIERMEYER
`and STEVE STOVALL,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No.
`
`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Hasbro, Inc. (“Hasbro”), a Rhode Island corporation having a principal place of business
`
`at 1027 Newport Avenue, Pawtucket, Rhode Island 02862, believes that it will be damaged by
`
`registration of the subject mark of U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 97/394,969 (the
`
`“Challenged Application”) for SUPER JOE (“Applicants’ Mark”) and hereby opposes that
`
`application. The owners of record of the Challenged Application are Mr. Jason Schiermeyer and
`
`Mr. Steve Stovall (“Applicants”), individuals each having an address of 1804 Nixon Avenue NE,
`
`Huntsville, Alabama 35811.
`
`The grounds for opposition are as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Hasbro is a leading toy and game manufacturer, and has been engaged for decades
`
`in the creation, manufacture and sale of toys and games, television programming, motion
`
`pictures, and digital gaming, and runs a comprehensive licensing program.
`
`2.
`
`From toys and games to television, movies, digital gaming and consumer
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`products, Hasbro offers a variety of ways for audiences to experience its iconic brands, including
`
`G.I. JOE, EASY-BAKE, MONOPOLY, MAGIC: THE GATHERING, NERF, MY LITTLE
`
`PONY, TRANSFORMERS, PLAY-DOH, BABY ALIVE, DUNGEONS & DRAGONS,
`
`POWER RANGERS, PEPPA PIG and PJ MASKS, as well as premier partner brands that
`
`include some of the world’s largest and well-known entertainment brands.
`
`1.
`
`Hasbro is recognized as a leader in its industry and as a corporate citizen. For
`
`example, for more than a decade, Hasbro has been consistently recognized for its corporate
`
`citizenship, including being named one of the 100 Best Corporate Citizens by 3BL Media, one of
`
`the World’s Most Ethical Companies by Ethisphere Institute, and one of the 50 Most
`
`Community-Minded Companies in the U.S. by the Civic 50.
`
`3.
`
`For more than fifty-eight (58) years, Hasbro, its predecessors in interest, and its
`
`licensees have used the trademark G.I. JOE, and marks associated with G.I. JOE, including, but
`
`not limited to, SUPER JOE, for toy action figures and related accessories, books, comic books,
`
`multimedia productions and a variety of related goods and services (the “G.I. JOE Marks”).
`
`4.
`
`Hasbro sold an action figure line in the late 1970s under the trademark SUPER
`
`JOE.
`
`5.
`
`Hasbro owns the following federal trademark registrations for its G.I. JOE Marks
`
`(the “G.I. JOE Registrations”):

`
`
`
`Printouts of the TSDR Database records for the foregoing registrations are annexed hereto as
`
`Exhibit A.
`
`6.
`
`7.
`
`The G.I. JOE Registrations are valid and subsisting.
`
`Hasbro’s G.I. JOE Registrations Nos. 773,150, 0,787,088, 4,008,608 and
`
`5,484,953 are incontestable within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §§ 1115(b) and 1065. Those
`
`registrations are conclusive evidence of the validity of the subject marks thereof, the registrations
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`
`
`
`therefor, and of Hasbro’s exclusive right to use those marks in connection with the goods set
`
`forth therein.
`
`8.
`
`Registration No. 6,853,143 constitutes prima facie evidence of the validity of the
`
`subject marks thereof, the registrations therefor, and of Hasbro’s exclusive right to use those
`
`marks in connection with the goods set forth in that registration.
`
`9.
`
`Beginning on or about October 4, 1976, Hasbro used the trademark SUPER JOE
`
`for toy dolls, action figures, related accessories and merchandise associated with its G.I. JOE line
`
`of products, and its SUPER JOE mark was the subject of U.S. Registration No. 1,099,679 for
`
`“toy doll and accessories therefor.”
`
`10.
`
`Since its adoption and first use of the G.I. JOE trademark in 1963, Hasbro has
`
`devoted, and continues to devote, substantial time, money and effort in promoting its G.I. JOE
`
`Marks to identify Hasbro as the source of the goods.
`
`11.
`
`In the past several decades, Hasbro has sold hundreds of millions of dollars of
`
`G.I. JOE products, and Hasbro’s advertising and promotion costs for the brand have been in
`
`excess of $100 million.
`
`12.
`
`Through the years, the G.I. JOE brand has grown tremendously and expanded into
`
`various industries, including animation, comic books and film.
`
`13.
`
`The G.I. JOE brand has been the subject of widespread domestic and international
`
`media coverage throughout the past fifty-eight (58) years, including during its 50th anniversary
`
`year in 2014.
`
`14.
`
`Time Magazine named the G.I. JOE action figure one of the Top 100 Toys of All
`
`Time (see
`
`http://content.time.com/time/specials/packages/article/0,28804,2049243_2048656_2049178,00.h
`
`
`
`4
`
`
`
`
`
`
`tml).
`
`15.
`
`The G.I. JOE action figure was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame in
`
`2004 (see https://www.museumofplay.org/toys/g-i-joe/).
`
`16.
`
`The G.I. Joe action figure is widely acknowledged as one of the most iconic toys
`
`in history.
`
`17.
`
`National “G.I. JOE Day” is observed annually on February 1st, as a way for fans
`
`to celebrate the iconic G.I. JOE action figure and its role in popular culture.
`
`18.
`
`By virtue of Hasbro’s longstanding use, enormous sales and advertising
`
`expenditures, third party awards and unsolicited media coverage, the G.I. JOE Marks have
`
`developed substantial and valuable goodwill that belongs exclusively to Hasbro.
`
`19.
`
`Hasbro’s G.I. JOE word mark has become famous and is widely recognized by
`
`the general consuming public of the United States as a designation of the source of Hasbro’s
`
`action figures.
`
`20.
`
`Hasbro is entitled to a broad scope of protection for its G.I. JOE Marks.
`
`21.
`
`On May 4, 2022, Applicants filed U.S. Trademark Application Ser. No.
`
`97/394,969 for the mark SUPER JOE.
`
`22.
`
`The Challenged Application is based on intent to use and covers: “action figures”
`
`in Class 28 and “on-line retail store services featuring action figures, comic books, drinkware,
`
`pins” in Class 35.
`
`23.
`
`Applicants’ Mark is identical to Hasbro’s SUPER JOE word mark in sight, sound,
`
`meaning and commercial impression.
`
`24.
`
`Applicants’ Mark is identical or closely similar to Hasbro’s G.I. JOE Marks in
`
`sight, sound, meaning and commercial impression.
`
`
`
`5
`
`
`
`
`
`
`25.
`
`Applicants’ Mark is nearly identical in appearance to Hasbro’s G.I. JOE mark and
`
`is identical to Hasbro’s SUPER JOE mark.
`
`26.
`
`The Challenged Application is for goods and services that are identical or closely
`
`related to those covered by the G.I. JOE Marks and the G.I. JOE Registrations.
`
`27.
`
`Hasbro’s rights in and to its G.I. JOE Marks are long prior to any rights
`
`Applicants may have in the United States with respect to Applicants’ Mark.
`
`COUNT I
`Likelihood of Confusion
`15 U.S.C. § 1052(d)
`
`28.
`
`Paragraphs 1-27 above are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`29.
`
`Applicants’ Mark so resembles Hasbro’s G.I. JOE Marks as to be likely, when
`
`used in connection with Applicants’ goods, to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive as
`
`to the affiliation, connection or association of Applicants and their goods with Hasbro, or as to
`
`the origin, sponsorship or approval of Applicants and their goods by Hasbro.
`
`30.
`
`Applicants’ Mark will be used in connection with products that are the same as or
`
`sufficiently related to products offered by Hasbro and/or its licensees under the G.I. JOE Marks
`
`to create a likelihood of confusion under the circumstances described herein.
`
`31.
`
`Hasbro believes that it will be damaged by the registration of Applicants’ Mark
`
`because such registration would support and assist Applicants in the confusing and misleading
`
`use of the designation it seeks to register, and would give color of exclusive statutory rights to
`
`Applicants, in violation and derogation of the prior and superior rights of Hasbro.
`
`32.
`
`Applicants’ Mark so resembles Hasbro’s G.I. JOE Marks as to be likely, when
`
`used in connection with the goods and services set forth in the Challenged Applications to cause
`
`confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive under Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §
`6
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`1052(d).
`
`COUNT II
`Likelihood of Dilution
`15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)
`
`33.
`
`Paragraphs 1-32 above are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`34.
`
`Hasbro’s G.I. JOE word mark was famous within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1125(c) before the priority date of the Challenged Application.
`
`35.
`
`Hasbro’s G.I. JOE word mark was famous within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1125(c) long prior to any rights Applicants may have in the United States with respect to
`
`Applicants’ Mark.
`
`36.
`
`Applicants’ registration and use of Applicants’ Mark in connection with the goods
`
`and services set forth in the Challenged Application are likely to cause dilution of Hasbro’s G.I.
`
`JOE word mark in violation of Section 43(c) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).
`
`WHEREFORE, Hasbro requests that the Challenged Applications be refused registration
`
`on the basis of priority and likelihood of confusion, and dilution, and that the Trademark Trial
`
`and Appeal Board grant such other relief as it deems just and proper.
