`having filed its AMENDED NOTICE OF OPPOSITION on May 30, 2012, pursuant to Section 13 of
`the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. § 1063), against the registration of the applied—for mark,
`ASSISTMELIVE [Serial No. 85414764], by Applicant, ASSISTMELIVE, INC, a California corporation,

`
`ll. GROUNDS FOR MOTION OF EXCUSABLE NEGLECT
`A.
`Opposer moves The Board to sustain Opposer’s MOTION OF EXCUSABLE NEGLECT IN
`RESPESONSE TO OPPOSER’S NON-RESPONSE TO APPLICANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE
`MATTERS FROM NOTICE OF OPPOSITION on the basis that
`
`to what Opposer
`reasonable misunderstanding as
`(now presumed)
`1) Opposer’s
`heretofore understood to mean a ”reply brief”. (Somero v. Hendry General Hospital)I
`
`Somero v. Hendry General Hospital, 467 So.2d 1103, 1106 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) ”[W]here
`inaction results from clerical or secretarial error, reasonable misunderstanding, a system gone
`awry or any other of the foibles to which human nature is heir, then upon timely application
`accompanied by a reasonable and credible explanation the matter should be permitted to be
`heard on the merits/’; as "reply brief”, as cited in,
`
`2)
`
`Federal Rules of Civil Procedure 502.02(b): Briefs and Motions
`in paragraph (c), which
`As Opposer’s reading of the paragraph identified below,
`Opposer understood to pertain to any reply brief, which Opposer understood to
`include a MOTION TO STRIKE, ”is discouraged, as the Board generally finds that reply
`briefs have little persuasive value and are often a mere reargument ofthe points made
`in the main brief”
`
`a)
`
`b)
`
`c)
`
`A reply brief, if filed, including a reply brief for a summary judgment motion, shall
`be filed within 15 days from the date of service of the brief in response to the
`motion (20 days if 37 CFR § 2.119(c) applies). The time for filing a reply brief will
`not be extended, even upon the parties’ consent. [Note 9.: 37 CFR § 2.127(a) and
`37 CFR § 2.127(e)(1). See Ron Cauldwell Jewelry, Inc. v. Clothestime Clothes, |nc.,
`63 USPQ2d 2009, 2010 (TTAB 2002) (approval of consented motion to extend
`time to file reply brief vacated).]
`
`No further papers (including surreply briefs) will be considered by the Board.
`[Note 10.: 37 CFR § 2.127(a) and 37 CFR § 2.127(e)(1); Pioneer Kabushiki Kaisha v.
`Hitachi High Technologies, 73 USPQ2d 1672, 1677 (TTAB 2005) (because 37 CFR §
`2.127(a) prohibits the filing of surreply briefs, opposer’s surreply to applicant's
`motion was not considered); No Fear Inc. v. Rule, 54 USPQ2d 1551, 1553 (TTAB
`2000).]
`
`The filing of reply briefs is discouraged, as the Board generally finds that reply
`briefs have little persuasive value and are often a mere reargument of the
`points made in the main brief. [Note 11.: No Fear Inc. v. Rule, 54 USPQ2d 1551,
`1553 (TTAB 2000); and Johnston Pump/General Valve
`Inc. v. Chromalloy
`American Corp., 13 USPQ2d 1719, 1720 n.3 (TTAB 1989) (”The presentation of
`one's arguments and authority should be presented thoroughly in the motion or
`the opposition brief thereto”).]

`a)
`Inasmuch as APPL|CANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE MATTERS FROM OPPOSER’S
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION had not been addressed by The Board by the October 18,

`
`b)
`
`Inasmuch as APPLlCANT'S ANSWER TO OPPOSER’S AMENDED NOTICT OF
`OPPOSITON had not been submitted by the Applicant by the October 18, 2012
`defined due date;
`
`Opposer sought further validation of Opposer’s interpretation of RFCP 502.02(b),
`paragraph (c), cited above, from expert legal Counsel, verified by the Online
`Service Provider: JustAnswer.com (see, EXHIBE‘ 1); which includes the following
`correspondence,
`
`1) QUESTION:
`
`OPPOSER:
`
`I filed a Notice of Opposition to the registration of a trademark that
`infringes upon my own, as part of my opposition I included also Copyright
`infringement as well as Infringement upon my 1st Amendment right to
`privacy; while the Defendant has now submitted a MOTION to STRIKE
`(MTS) these additional 2 Complaints... so, my question is whether I am
`required to reply to this MTS, and if so, what is the proper format in which
`to do so?
`
`As for contacting me, as I
`+XXXXXXXX
`
`live in Belgium, my correct telephone # is:
`
`Optional Information:
`Country relating to Question: United States
`State (if USA): California
`
`What have you tried so far?: I have reviewed USPTO procedures, but find
`no direction in this matter.
`
`2) ANSWER:

`
`You are not required to file a response to a motion to strike. However, it is
`common practice to respond and rebut the defendant's motion. Rule
`502.02(b) requires that "A brief in response to a motion, except a motion
`for summary judgment, must be filed within 15 days from the date of
`service of the motion (20 days if service of the motion was made by first
`class mail, ‘Express Mail,‘ or overnight courier). [Note 5.]"
`
`The form of a responsive brief is the same as that which would be used in
`federal district court. Although, this is a response for an FTC motion to
`strike, the same format can be used for a trademark hearing (click here).
`
`Hope this helps.

`
`lll. RATIONALE PREDISPOSING OPPOSER TO "MOTION TO STRIKE" NON-RESPONSE
`A.
`Applicant appears to base it's rationale for submitting a MOTION to STRIKE upon The
`Boards lack of jurisdiction, pursuant to Knickerbocker Toy Co. v. Faultless Starch Co., 175
`USPQ, 417, 423 (CCPA 1972), while,
`United States Court of Customs and Patent Appeals reversed Knickerbocker Toy Co. v.
`Faultless Starch Co., 175 USPQ, 417, 423 (CCPA 1972). October 12, 1972, 467 F.2d 501
`(1972), KNICKERBOCKER TOY COMPANY, INC., Appellant, V. FAULTLESS STARCH COMPANY,
`Appellee. Patent Appeal No. 8651; and thereby held that...
`
`B.
`
`% aflirm the decision of the board insofar as it struck portions of appellant's pleadings
`charging copyright infringement and unfair competition, but reverse the decision of the board
`insofar as it struck gortions of aggellanfls Qleadings relating to its charges that confusion,
`mistake or dece tion is like]
`to result mm a
`ellee's alle ed use 0 a re resentation 0
`a
`ellant's co
`ri hted doll as its trademark or that re istration o the mark ma otherwise
`damage aggellant. Because portions of appellant's pleadings relating to these three separate
`issues are hopelessly intermingled, we remand to allow appellant to replead in light of this
`opinion.

`
`IV. CONCLUSION
`
`For reasons set forth above, Opposer belief in its own understanding of what constituted a "reply brief”,
`under FRCP 502.02(b), Opposer’s decision to forego submission of a BRIEF IN RESPONSE TO APPLlCANT’S
`MOTION TO STRIKE MATTERS FROM NOTICE OF OPPOSITION meets the standard set forth under
`Somero v. Hendry General Hospital, 467 So.2d 1103, 1106 (Fla. 4th DCA 1985) as ”reasonable
`misunderstanding” of the cited FRCP; as Opposer underscores the United States Court of Customs and
`Patent Appeals reversal of the Knickerbocker Toy Co. v. Faultless Starch C0,, 175 USPQ, 417, 423
`(CCPA 1972); and, therefore, contends that, as its AMENDED NOTTICE OF OPPOSITION should and must
`include the OPPOSER’S ADDED CLAIMS, under Section IV of Opposer’s AMMENDED NOTICE of
`OPPOSITION, by which OPPOSER affirms it will be damaged by the registration of Serial No. 85414764
`ASSISTMELIVE in Class 42, as such registration would constitute not only Trademark Infringement,
`pursuant to Section 13 of the Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. § 1063) and therefore cause subsequent
`damage to Opposer’s registered trademark for reasons cited in Opposer’s AMENDED NOTTICE OF
`OPPOSITION, but registration would also violate Opposer’s COPYRIGHT PROTECTION of the mark
`ASSISTME [VAA000176484], see EXI-IIBiT 2, while infringing also upon OPPOSER’S FIRST AMENDMENT
`RIGHT of PRIVACY, pursuant to Opposer’s use of protected COMMERCIAL SPEECH [see, Friedman v.
`Rogers, 99 S. Ct. 887 (1979), Virginia State Bd. of Pharmacy v. Virginia Citizens Consumer Council, Inc.,
`425 U.S. 748, 761-62 (1976)], from which Opposer’s copyrighted design serves as Opposer’s private trade
`name, ASSISTME. While not asserted in Opposer’s AMENDED NOTTICE OF OPPOSITION, Opposer
`nevertheless asserts that registration of the Applicant's applied—for mark ASSISTMELIVE would invariably
`produce a direct contravention of the Anticybersquatting Consumer Protection Act [The Protection Act
`(ACPA), 15 U.S.C. § 1125(d)]; as the Applicant's registration of the domain [assistmelive.com] continues
`to dilute Opposer’s ”hub & spoke” Online marketing channels which are all centralized around Opposer’s
`main Online marketing channel [assistme.com].
`
`Accordingly, Opposer prays that The Board will sustain Opposer’s MOTION OF EXCUSABLE
`NEGLECT, for the reasons stated above, so that The Board may entertain Opposer’s subsequent
`BRIEF IN RESPONSE TO APPL|CANT’S MOTION TO STRIKE MATTERS FROM NOTICE OF
`OPPOSITION.
