`MOTION FOR SUSPENSION
`
`Opposer, Intersections Inc., hereby moves the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board for an
`
`order suspending the above captioned proceeding in accordance with 37 C.F.R. §2.117(a),
`
`TBMP §510.02(a), pending the disposition of the Civil Action filed on June 13, 2007 by Opposer
`
`in the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Virginia.
`
`Opposer filed a Notice of Opposition against Serial No. 78/286,737 for the mark
`
`IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS on August 29, 2005. Applicant filed its Answer on October 17,
`
`2005. Opposer has now filed a civil action charging trademark infringement and unfair
`
`competition arising from Applicant's use of the mark IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS, among
`
`others. The Complaint filed in this Civil Action is attached hereto as Exhibit 1.
`
`Disposition of the civil action will determine whether Applicant's use and registration of
`
`the mark IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS to identify its services is likely to cause confusion and
`
`lead to deception as to the source of origin, sponsorship or approval of Applicant's goods with
`
`

`
`Opposer's Marks and whether Applicant's application should be withdrawn. Accordingly it is
`
`respectfully submitted that all further proceedings in Opposition No. 91166497 be suspended
`
`pending disposition of the Civil Action. Please note that this Motion is being filed within the
`
`discovery period and that when this proceeding is re-instituted, the Board is respectfully
`
`requested to include adequate time for the parties to complete discovery.

`Plaintiff,
`
`Intersections
`
`Inc.
`
`(“Intersections”), brings

`

`
`This is an action for relief under the Federal Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1051, §t_s.<:c1, (“Lanham Act”), particularly 15 U.S.C. §§ 1114, 1117 and 1125, for
`
`trademark infringement, false designation of origin, false description or representation,
`
`and related unfair competition. Plaintiff also asserts claims under the common law.
`

`
`

`
`3.
`
`On information and belief, Defendant
`
`is
`
`subject
`
`to the personal
`
`jurisdiction of this Court because, among other things, Defendant has purposefully

`availed itself of the benefits of doing business in the Commonwealth of Virginia by
`
`providing services to the residents of the Commonwealth of Virginia and by selling
`products and services to businesses and individuals located in the Commonwealth of
`
`Virginia.
`
`4.
`
`Venue is proper under 28 U.S.C. §§ l391(b) and 1391(c) in that, upon
`
`information and belief, a substantial part of the events giving rise to the claims occurred
`
`in this District and Defendant is a resident of this District because it is a company subject
`
`to personal jurisdiction in this District.
`
`THE PARTIES
`
`5.
`
`Plaintiff, Intersections Inc.,
`
`is a Delaware corporation with its principal
`
`place of business at 14901 Bogle Drive, Chantilly, Virginia 20151.
`
`6.
`
`Upon information and belief, Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions
`
`LLC is an Oregon limited liability company, with its principal place of business at 8050
`
`SW Warm Springs Street, Suite 130, Tualatin, Oregon 97062.
`
`FACTUAL BACKGROUND
`
`INTERSECTIONS’ IDENTITY GUARD® PROGRAM
`
`7.
`
`Identity theft and credit card fraud are amongst
`
`the fastest growing
`
`segments of crime in America. According to the FTC, one in every eight adults, and one
`
`in every four households has been victimized by identity thieves in the past five years.
`
`In
`
`the past year, an estimated ten million Americans have been the victim of identity theft.
`
`8.
`
`Intersections, based in Chantilly, Virginia, was founded in 1999 and has
`
`

`
`become a leading provider of credit management and identity theft protection services.
`
`Currently, Intersections serves more than 5 million customers.
`
`Intersections provides its
`
`services both to consumers (“business to consumer” or “B to C” services) and to
`
`businesses (“business to business” or “B to B” services), including assisting consumers
`
`with credit management, credit monitoring,
`
`identity theft protection,
`
`identity thefl
`
`insurance, credit education, fraud resolution assistance, credit card registrations services
`
`and credit card cancellation and credit card monitoring services. Many of Intersections’
`
`B to B clients in turn make Intersections’ services available to their employees and/or
`
`customers.
`
`Intersections also provides its services to B to B clients to assist in their
`
`responses to data security breaches that may expose sensitive personal information.
`
`9.
`
`Launched in 1999,
`
`IDENTITY GUARD® is
`
`the brand name for
`
`Intersections’ credit management and identity theft protection services, which are
`
`directed both to individual consumers (B to C) and to business clients (B to B) that wish
`
`to market those services to consumers. The mark IDENTITY GUARD® has been in use
`
`in commerce in connection with Intersections’ services continuously from 1999 to the
`
`present. Consumers can access the IDENTITY GUARD® services through Intersections’
`
`website at www.identityguard.com, and B to B clients may learn about the services
`
`through that web site.
`
`10.
`
`Intersections has
`
`invested heavily in advertising and promoting its
`
`IDENTITY GUARD® and related services, including spending more than $14 Million
`
`disseminating advertising.
`
`Intersections advertises its services via the Internet, including
`
`through its own website,
`
`through banner ads and through adwords purchased through
`
`Yahoo!
`
`Inc.
`
`and Google,
`
`and also through telemarketing,
`
`radio and television
`
`

`
`advertisement. Additionally, Intersections’ services are advertised through a variety of
`
`media available through Intersections’ B to B clients,
`
`including in store collateral
`
`advertising displays, newsletters, direct mail, brochures, and handouts.
`
`11.
`
`During the past several years,
`
`Intersections has built up substantial
`
`consumer goodwill for its many services and programs directed to credit management
`
`and identity theft protection services, including its IDENTITY GUARD® service.
`
`12.
`
`As a result of Intersections’ extensive advertising and promotion of its
`
`IDENTITY GUARD® service, the public has come to associate the mark IDENTITY
`
`GUARD® with Intersections prior to Defendant’s wrongful actions complained of herein.
`
`13.
`
`Intersections
`
`owns,
`
`among
`
`others, United
`
`States
`
`Service Mark
`
`Registration No. 2,689,654 for the mark IDENTITY GUARD®, issued February 2003,
`
`for “credit card registration services” and “credit card cancellation services for lost or
`
`stolen cards; credit card monitoring services for lost or stolen cards.” A copy of this
`
`registration is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`14.
`
`Intersections has pending United States Service Mark applications for the
`
`marks IDENTITY GUARD and IDENTITY GUARD & Design, Serial Nos. 78/700,063
`
`and 78/702,238. Copies of the filing information for these applications are attached as
`
`Exhibit B.
`
`15.
`
`Since
`
`1999,
`
`Intersections has owned and used the domain name
`
`xnvwjdentityguard.com.
`
`16.
`
`Intersections has been vigilant in protecting its marks and has filed a civil
`
`Complaint in Federal Court and has filed opposition proceedings in the United States
`
`Patent & Trademark Office to protect its valuable brand IDENTITY GUARD® from
`
`
`
`

`
`encroachment by confusingly similar marks adopted by third parties.
`
`IDENTITY THEFT GUARD SOLUTIONS’
`
`“IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS” SERVICE
`
`17.
`
`On information and belief, in 2003, long after Intersections began using
`
`and registered its IDENTITY GUARD® service mark, Defendant Identity Theft Guard
`
`Solutions began operating websites under the domain name www.identitysafeguardscom
`
`(directed to both businesses (B to B) and individual consumers (B to C)). At this website,
`
`Defendant offers
`
`identity theft protection services under
`
`the name IDENTITY
`
`SAFEGUARDS.
`
`18.
`
`On information and belief, Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions uses
`
`the name IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS as a d/b/a/ for the business it operates through the
`
`website at www.identitysafeguards.com.
`
`19.
`
`The mark,
`
`IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS,
`
`and
`
`the
`
`domain
`
`name,
`
`www.identitysafeguardscom, adopted by Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions, are
`
`virtually identical
`
`to Intersections’
`
`registered marks IDENTITY GUARD®, and its
`
`domain name www.identityguard.com.
`
`20.
`
`Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions filed an application with the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office, Serial No. 78/286,737, for registration of the
`
`service mark IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS on August 13, 2003 which covers “provision
`
`of membership identity theft prevention, protection and recovery services, namely,
`
`monitoring consumer credit reports and providing participants with weekly credit alerts
`
`and yearly credit reports, as well as, in the event participants become victims of identity
`
`theft, referral to recovery advocates, fraud investigators, legal counsel and other experts
`
`

`
`necessary to develop and execute recovery plans; Provision of membership identity theft
`
`prevention and protection services, namely, providing participants with customized
`
`financial protection plans and identity theft prevention counseling; provision of
`
`membership identity theft prevention and protection services, namely, financial identity
`
`monitoring.” A copy of the filing information for this application is attached as Exhibit C.
`
`21. Intersections timely filed a Notice of Opposition objecting to Defendant’s
`
`application Serial No. 78/286,737 on August 29, 2005 and Opposition No. 91166497 is
`
`now pending before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board at the United States Patent
`
`and Trademark Office.
`
`22. On information and belief, at least as early as its date of first use of the mark
`
`IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS, Defendant planned to market its services through employee
`
`benefits and direct to consumer channels.
`
`23. On information and belief, on or about March 20, 2007, Defendant changed
`
`its website and expanded its market
`
`to include companies in the legal,
`
`financial,
`
`health/medical, financial and education industries and added information regarding its
`
`new data security breach services.
`
`24. Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions offers similar credit monitoring,
`
`identity theft protection services and data security breach services to those offered by
`
`Intersections, through the same channels of trade and to the same types of customers, i.e.,
`
`to both B to B customers, and B to C customers.
`
`25. On information and belief, Defendant was aware of Intersections’ IDENTITY
`
`GUARD mark prior to its adoption and use of the mark IDENTITY SAFEGUARDS and
`
`the domain name www.identitysafeguards.com.
`
`

`
`26. Defendant was not authorized by Intersections to use the IDENTITY
`
`SAFEGUARDS Mark.
`
`27. Defendant’s continued and unauthorized use of the mark IDENTITY
`
`SAFEGUARDS and the domain name in connection with
`
`services substantially similar to those of Intersections under its IDENTITY GUARD®
`
`mark, and its domain name , is likely to cause confusion, mistake
`
`and deception of the public.
`
`28. By its conduct described above, Defendant has intentionally infringed and will
`
`continue to infringe Intersections’ IDENTITY GUARD® mark, all
`
`to the harm and
`
`detriment of Intersections.
`
`29. Defendant has caused its goods and services to enter into interstate commerce.

`Intersections’ IDENTITY GUARDE mark.
`
`33. Intersections has no control over the quality of services and goods offered by

`
`34. Defendant
`
`Identity Theft Guard Solutions’
`
`use of

`
`Specifically, Defendant has
`
`adopted a mark and has advertised in the same channels of trade as Intersections with the
`
`confusingly similar mark such that Defendant’s product is likely to cause confiision, or to
`
`cause mistake, or
`
`to deceive as to the affiliation, connection, or association of
`
`Defendant’s product with Intersections’ IDENTITY GUARD® mark and the products
`
`associated therewith.
`
`42. Defendant has caused its goods and services to enter into interstate commerce.
`
`43. Defendant’s activities have deceived, or are likely to deceive, a substantial
`
`portion of the purchasing public, and such deception is material in that it is likely to
`
`influence the buying decisions of the purchasing public.
`
`44. By reason of Defendant Identity Theft Guard Solutions’ conduct as alleged
`
`above, Intersections has suffered, and will continue to suffer, substantial damage to its
`
`business reputation and goodwill, as well as diversion of trade and loss of profits in an
`
`amount not yet ascertained.
`
`45. Defendant’s conduct has caused, and unless restrained by the Court, will
`
`continue to cause irreparable injury to Intersections.
`
`46. Defendant’s conduct is in violation of § 43(a) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §
`
`l125(a)(1)(A) and (B)), and Intersections is entitled to injunctive relief and to monetary
`
`damages in an amount as yet undetermined but to be proven at trial, which damages may
