`
`Each of the above registrations and applications is valid and subsisting and
`
`Registration Nos. 3,412,677; 3,656,926 and 3,621,043 are incontestable.
`
`9.
`
`Opposer also uses and has used the terms LEGENDARY, LEGENDARY
`
`PICTURES, and LEGENDARY ENTERTAINMENT as or as part of its marks and trade
`
`names since prior to any date upon which Applicant may rely in connection with the
`
`production and distribution of a wide variety of entertainment services and properties,
`
`including but not limited to, web entertainment and videos, motion picture films, Internet
`
`programs, and printed and electronic publications (hereafter together with the above
`
`registrations and applications collectively referred to as the “LEGENDARY Marks”).
`
`10.
`
`Opposer has invested significant effort and substantial sums in promoting
`
`and developing the above-mentioned LEGENDARY Marks. As a result, Opposer’s
`
`Marks have gained nationwide recognition, popularity, and fame.
`
`11.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant’s Application was filed on
`
`January 25, 2014.
`
`12.
`
`Upon information and belief, January 25, 2014 is the earliest date
`
`Applicant may legally rely upon for priority in this proceeding.
`
`13.
`
`The filing date of each of Opposer’s U.S. registrations and applications for
`
`the LEGENDARY Marks are prior in time to the application filing date of Applicant’s
`
`Application Serial No. 86/175256.
`
`
`
`7
`
`
`
`14.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant had actual knowledge of
`
`Opposer’s use of the LEGENDARY Marks prior to Applicant’s adoption, first use and
`
`filing date of the mark opposed herein.
`
`15.
`
`Applicant had constructive knowledge of Opposer’s filing of the
`
`LEGENDARY Marks prior to Applicant’s adoption, first use and filing date of the mark
`
`opposed herein and therefore cannot claim good faith.
`
`16.
`
`Upon information and belief, Opposer enjoys a priority date that is prior
`
`and superior to any valid and continuing priority date that Applicant is entitled to claim in
`
`this case.
`
`17.
`
`The entirety of Opposer’s LEGENDARY mark is incorporated within
`
`Applicant’s LEGENDARY EARTH & Design mark. Consequently, Applicant’s mark
`
`LEGENDARY would appear to consumers to be an extension of Opposer’s
`
`LEGENDARY Marks. Consumers are therefore likely to mistakenly believe that
`
`Applicant is associated or affiliated with Opposer.
`
`18.
`
`Several of the Applicant’s identified goods and services are identical to,
`
`and/or closely related to the goods and services identified in Opposer’s registrations and
`
`applications or otherwise pleaded herein.
`
`19.
`
`The registration of Applicant’s mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake
`
`or deception and is also likely to create the erroneous impression that Opposer and
`
`Applicant are somehow related or associated, or that Opposer sponsors or approves
`
`Applicant’s goods and services.
`
`20. When used in connection with the goods and services identified in the
`
`Application, Applicant’s mark LEGENDARY EARTH and Design so closely resembles
`
`
`
`8
`
`
`
`Opposer’s LEGENDARY Marks as to be likely to cause confusion, deception or mistake,
`
`in violation of § 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`21. Wherefore, Opposer requests that judgment be entered against Applicant,
`
`that the Notice of Opposition be sustained, and that registration to Applicant be refused.
