`
`I11 the Matter of Registration No. 3,465,275
`Registered on July 15, 2008
`
`Kingdom Security, L.L.C.
`
`Petitioner,
`
`V.
`
`Kingdom Security, LLC
`
`Registrant.

`
`Cancellation No.
`
`PETITION FOR CANCELLATION
`
`The Petitioner, Kingdom Security, L.L.C. (hereinafter "Petitioner"), a Limited Liability
`
`Company of Texas, having an address of PO BOX 1189, La Porte, TX 77572, believes it is and will
`
`be damaged by the continued registration of U.S. Registration No. 3,465,275 on the Principal
`
`Register and hereby petitions for cancellation of said registration.
`
`As grounds for this petition, it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Upon information and belief, Registrant Kingdom Security, LLC (hereinafter
`
`"Registrant") is a Limited Liability Company of Virginia having an address of 529 East Skyline
`
`Drive, Purcellville, VA 20132. Such limited liability company is listed as the owner of the
`
`"KINGDOM SECURITY AND DESIGN" Mark, U.S. Registration No. 3,465,275, registered on the
`
`Principal Register on July 15, 2008 for "Personal security consultation" in International Class 045.
`
`Registrant claims an alleged date of first use in commerce of February 28, 2007.
`
`2.
`
`Petitioner is owner of an application for the "KINGDOM SECUMTY" mark, U.S.
`
`Application No. 85/704,340, filed on August 15, 2012 for use on "Installation of commercial and
`
`industrial security systems; burglar alarm installation, maintenance and repair; fire alarm installation,
`
`
`
`maintenance and repair; installation, repair and replacement of locks; installation of intercom and
`
`public address systems, IP (Internet protocol) cameras, closed circuit television systems, access
`
`control systems, biometric identification apparatus" in International Class 037. A true copy of the
`
`records from the USPTO electronic database showing the status and title for said application is
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`3 .
`
`Registration ofPetitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark will inevitably be initially
`
`refused by the US Patent and Trademark Office by reason of the existence of Registrant's similar
`
`"KINGDOM SECURITY AND DESIGN" mark on the Principal Register. For this reason,
`
`Petitioner has a reasonable belief that the continued existence of Registrant's "KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY AND DESIGN" registration will prevent the application for Petitioner's "KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY" Mark from continuing to registration.
`
`4.
`
`Commencing prior to Registrant's alleged date offirst use ofRegistrant's Mark in U.S.
`
`commerce of February 28, 2007, and prior to the filing date of Registrant's Mark, Petitioner has
`
`engaged, and is now engaged in the manufacture, distribution, sale, advertising and promotion in
`
`interstate commerce of services in International Classes 037 under Petitioner's "KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY" mark.
`
`5.
`
`Use of Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" marks has been continuous, exclusive,
`
`public, and substantial since a date of first use in U.S. commerce at least as early as February 23,
`
`2007.
`
`6.
`
`Registrant's Mark is confusingly similar to Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY"
`
`mark because:
`
`
`
`a.
`
`Registrant's mark is identical in appearance to Petitioner's "KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY" mark;
`
`b.
`
`Registrant's mark is
`
`identical
`
`in sound to Petitioner's
`
`"KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY" mark;
`
`c.
`
`Registrant's mark is identical in connotation to Petitioner's "KINGDOM
`
`SECURITY" mark;
`
`(1.
`
`the services of Petitioner and the services of Registrant are similar and are
`
`marketed through the same channels oftrade and to the same general class of
`
`consumers; and
`
`e.
`
`Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark enjoys a high level of
`
`distinctiveness.
`
`7.
`
`As a result ofPetitioner's promotion and use ofPetitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY"
`
`mark in connection with its services, the trade and purchasing public have come to know and
`
`recognize Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark and have associated the same with Petitioner
`
`and Petitioner's services.
`
`8.
`
`Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark constitutes the lawful, valued, subsisting,
`
`and exclusive property of Petitioner. As a result of the high quality of Petitioner's services, and the
`
`extensive services rendered and advertising made under Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark,
`
`the aforementioned mark has become an intrinsic and essential part of the valuable goodwill and
`
`property of Petitioner and are recognizable and associated by the public as a symbol identifying and
`
`distinguishing Petitioner's services as those of exceptional quality.
`
`
`
`9.
`
`Registrant's Mark so resembles Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark as to be
`
`likely to cause confusion or mistake, to suggest a connection, or to deceive purchasers into believing
`
`that Registrant's services originate with Petitioner and/or are endorsed or sponsored by the Petitioner,
`
`and/or that Registrant and/or its services are otherwise affiliated with the Petitioner and its services.
`
`10.
`
`The continuing use by Registrant of the confusingly similar Registrant's Mark will
`
`inexorably have an adverse effect upon the Value of Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark.
`
`Ifthis Cancellation is not sustained, any defect, objection to, or fault found with Registrant's services
`
`rendered under Registrant's Mark would necessarily reflect on and seriously injure the valuable
`
`goodwill and reputation that Petitioner has established for its services.
`
`11.
`
`As a result of Petitioner's prior use of Petitioner's "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark
`
`on closely related services, Registrant's mark is not allowed to continue its registration under Section
`
`2(d) of the Trademark Act and should be cancelled in this proceeding accordingly.
`
`12.
`
`Based on the foregoing, the continued registration ofU. S. Registration No. 3,465,275
`
`for "KINGDOM SECURITY AND DESIGN" for use on services in International Class 045 has, and
`
`will continue to, cause injury and damage to Petitioner. Petitioner believes it will be free to register
`
`its "KINGDOM SECURITY" mark on the Principal Register if U.S. Registration No. 3,465,275 is
`
`cancelled.
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`
`cancel U.S. Registration No. 3,465,275.
`
`Petitioner hereby submits the requisite filing fee of $300.00 for the Petition to Cancel
`
`Registrant’s registration in International Class 045.
