`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`BOX TTAB FEE
`
`Commissioner for Trademarks
`
`P.O. Box 1451
`
`Alexandria, Virginia 223 13-1451
`
`Sir:
`
`C.J. Advertising, L.L.C. (hereinafter Opposer) is or will be damaged by the registration
`
`of the mark GET IT DONE...RIGHT!, which is set forth in application Ser. No. 77966918 and
`
`owned by Mark A. Rassas (hereinafter Applicant), and hereby opposes the same.
`
`As grounds for the opposition, Opposer, by its attorneys, avers as follows:
`
`1.
`
`On August 28, 2007 and September 29, 2009,
`
`the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office issued Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 based on use of the mark set forth
`
`therein since at least as early as May 19, 2003. Copies of these registrations are submitted
`
`herewith, incorporated herein and made of record thereby.
`
`2.
`
`On March 24, 2010, Applicant submitted application Ser. No. 77966918 to the
`
`United States Patent and Trademark Office based on use of the mark set forth therein since at
`
`{0O580"/16.1}
`
`
`
`least as early as March 15 2010.
`
`Information about this application is submitted herewith,
`
`incorporated herein and made of record thereby.
`
`Opposer owns Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 is GET A LAWYER. GET
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`IT DONE.
`
`5.
`
`The services set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 are “advertising agency
`
`services directed to law firms” and “legal services”.
`
`6.
`
`7.
`
`8.
`
`9.
`
`On August 10, 2010, application Ser. No. 77966918 was published for opposition.
`
`The mark set forth in Ser. No. 77966918 is GET IT DONE...RIGHT!
`
`The services set forth in Ser. No. 77966918 are “attorney services”.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant has practiced personal injury law in Middle
`
`Tennessee including in Clarksville since at least as early as May 19, 2003.
`
`10.
`
`Registrant’s authorized trademark licensee Hughes & Coleman has practiced
`
`personal injury law in Middle Tennessee including Clarksville since at least as early as May 19,
`
`2003.
`
`11.
`
`As an authorized trademark licensee of Registrant, Hughes & Coleman’s use of
`
`GET A LAWYER. GET IT DONE. in connection with legal services inures to the benefit of
`
`Registrant.
`
`12.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant started using GET IT DONE...RIGHT! in
`
`connection with attorney services despite being aware of Hughes & Coleman’s use of GET A
`
`LAWYER. GET IT DONE. in connection with legal services.
`
`{00580716.1}
`
`
`
`14.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the mark set forth in
`
`application Ser. No. 77966918 share a similar appearance.
`
`15.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the mark set forth in
`
`application Ser. No. 77966918 share a similar sound.
`
`16.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the mark set forth in
`
`application Ser. No. 77966918 share a similar meaning.
`
`17.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the mark set forth in
`
`application Ser. No. 77966918 share a similar commercial impression.
`
`18.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the mark set forth in
`
`application Ser. No. 77966918 are confusingly similar.
`
`19.
`
`The services set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and the services set
`
`forth in application Ser. No. 77966918 are closely related.
`
`20.
`
`The conditions surrounding the marketing of the services set forth in Reg. Nos.
`
`3285044 and 3688122 and the services set forth in application Ser. No. 77966918 are such that
`
`they could be encountered by the same purchasers under circumstances that could give rise to the
`
`mistaken belief that the services come from a common source.
`
`21.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 was first used in
`
`commerce prior to any actual use or constructive use of the mark set forth in application Ser. No.
`
`77966918.
`
`{005807l6.l}
`
`
`
`22.
`
`The mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 has been in continuous use
`
`in commerce since the issuance of Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 and is still
`
`in use in
`
`commerce in connection with the services set forth therein.
`
`23.
`
`Examples of how Registrant and Applicant use GET A LAWYER. GET IT
`
`DONE. and GET IT DONE...RIGHT! are submitted herewith, incorporated herein and made of
`
`record thereby.
`
`23.
`
`Opposer will be damaged by the issuance of this registration. Specifically, the
`
`mark set forth in application Ser. No. 77966918 consists of or comprises a mark which so
`
`resembles the mark set forth in Reg. Nos. 3285044 and 3688122 as to be likely to cause
`
`confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive, under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`
`1052(d).
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer
`
`requests that application Ser. No. 77966918 be refused
`
`registration.
