`
`MOTION TO SUSPEND PROCEEDINGS FOR CIVIL ACTION
`PURSUANT TO TRADEMARK RULE 2.117(a)
`
`Opposer The Third Stone Co. Ltd. (“Third Stone”), by its attorneys Carter
`
`Scholer Arnett Hamada & Mockler, PLLC, moves for suspension of these
`
`proceedings pursuant to Trademark Rule 2.117(a), 37 C.F.R. §2.117(a).
`
`On February 25, 2016, Third Stone filed a complaint in the United States
`
`District Court for the Northern District of Texas against applicant eBay
`
`International AG and two of its affiliates, eBay, Inc. and Marktplaats, BV, for
`
`trademark infringement. In support of this motion, Third Stone submits herewith a
`
`copy of the Original Complaint, attached as Exhibit A.
`
`In the Original Complaint, Third Stone asserts, among other things, that
`
`there is a likelihood of confusion between its 5MILES marks and Applicant’s
`
`CLOSE5 mark, which is the subject of these proceedings. Third Stone also alleges
`
`that it is the senior user. These allegations are the same as those present in these
`
`proceedings. Third Stone also claims ownership of United States Trademark
`
`Registration No. 4,905,765 for the trademark 5MILES. Third Stone seeks to enforce
`
`

`
`its trademark rights, including its common law rights, in the 5MILES mark and app
`
`icon.
`
`The pending civil action accordingly involves the same issues present in these
`
`proceedings, namely whether Third Stone has been and will continue to be harmed
`
`by Applicant’s use of and pending application for the CLOSE5 trademark. The
`
`determination of these issues by the District Court will be dispositive of the issues
`
`involved in these proceedings.
`
`Third Stone therefore respectfully requests suspension of these proceedings
`
`pending determination of the civil action pursuant to Trademark Rule 2.117(a), 37
`
`C.F.R. §2.117(a). Whopper-Burger, Inc. v. Burger King Corp., 171 U.S.P.Q. 805, 807
`
`(TTAB 1971) (suspending Cancellation proceeding in light of pending federal
`
`litigation because “the outcome of the civil action will have a direct bearing on the
`
`question of the rights of the parties herein and may in fact completely resolve all the

`under the Convention on Service Abroad of Judicial and Extrajudicial Documents in

`5.
`
`This Court has subject matter jurisdiction over this action pursuant to

`
`III. STATEMENT OF FACTS
`
`8.
`
`In early 2014, Dr. Lu Liang, founder and Chief Executive Officer of
`
`Third Stone, had an idea to develop a mobile application for a location-based
`
`secondhand marketplace.
`
`9.
`
`Dr. Liang and his team of e-commerce veterans went to work developing
`
`a mobile application that focused on connecting buyers and sellers in the same
`
`geographic area.
`
`10. The application was named “5miles” to suggest the local aspect of
`
`the application.
`
`11.
`
`In August 2014, the Third Stone launched its mobile application in the
`
`U.S., 5miles (the “5miles App”), making it available for download at that time through
`
`Google Play and soon after through the Apple App Store.
`
`12. The 5miles App is offered under the trademark “5miles” through Third
`
`Stone’s wholly owned subsidiary 5miles, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
`
`13. Third Stone applied to register the standard character trademark
`
`“5miles” with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). The
`
`standard character mark is the subject of two separate trademark applications:
`
`Application Serial No. 86/294,339 filed May 29, 2014, and 86/476,006 filed on
`
`December 10, 2014. True and correct copies of the ’339 and ’006 applications are
`
`attached as Exhibits A and B, respectively.
`
`14. Third Stone has also applied to register its stylized design mark for
`
`“5miles” with the USPTO. The stylized design mark is the subject of U.S. Application
`
`
`PL.’S ORIG. COMPL.
`
`PAGE 3
`
`

`
`Case 3:16-cv-00517-D Document 1 Filed 02/25/16 Page 4 of 12 PageID 4
`
`Serial No. 86/476,016 filed on December 10, 2014. A true and correct copy of the ’016
`
`application is attached as Exhibit C.
`
`15. On February 23, 2016, the USPTO issued United States Trademark
`
`Registration No. 4,905,765 (“’765 Registration”) for the 5miles standard character
`
`mark that is the subject of the ’339 application. A true and correct copy of the ’765
`
`Registration is attached as Exhibit D.
`
`16. The 5miles App has a distinctive icon (“5miles Icon”) featuring a stylized
`
`number 5 in white on an orange background as shown below:
`
`
`
`
`
`17. The 5miles standard character mark, the 5miles stylized design mark
`
`and the 5miles Icon collectively make up the “5miles Marks.”
`
`18. Third Stone registered the domain 5milesapp.com on May 20, 2014.
`
`19.
`
`Since at least as early as August 21, 2014, Third Stone has used the
`
`5miles Marks in interstate commerce.
`
`20. Third Stone has launched its 5miles App in several cities throughout the
`
`United States, including without limitation, Boston, Dallas, Houston, Miami, Los
`
`Angeles, Chicago, New York, and Philadelphia.
`
`21. The 5miles App averages 30,000 downloads a day and, as of January
`
`2016, has been downloaded approximately 5.6 million times and has hundreds of
`
`thousands of monthly active users across the U.S., the vast majority of which are
`
`based in Texas. In addition, since it launched in 2014, the 5Miles App has been used
`
`
`PL.’S ORIG. COMPL.
`
`PAGE 4
`
`

`
`Case 3:16-cv-00517-D Document 1 Filed 02/25/16 Page 5 of 12 PageID 5
`
`to list goods and services with a value exceeding $1 billion, and the gross merchandise
`
`value on the 5Miles App now exceeds $100 million every month.
`
`22.
`
`eBay acquired a mobile app named Rumgr in October 2014. Rumgr
`
`performed the same or similar functions to the 5miles App.
`
`23.
`
`eBay registered or caused to be registered the domain name close5.com
`
`on July 2, 2014.
`
`24. Upon information and belief, eBay rebranded the Rumgr app as
`
`“Close5.” eBay launched the Close5 app in San Diego in November 2014.
`
`25. The Close5 app performs the same or similar functions to the
`
`5miles App.
`
`26.
`
`eBay’s Close5 app has an icon that prominently features a stylized
`
`number 5 in white on a red background. eBay’s mark “Close5,” the stylized design of
`
`the numeral 5, and the Close5 app icon are collectively referred to as the
`
`“Close5 Marks.”
`
`27. The Close5 app icon is confusingly similar to the 5miles Icon as
`
`shown below:
`
`
`
`
`
`5miles
`
`
`
`
`
`Close5
`
`28. Third Stone and eBay offer similar goods and services under the 5miles
`
`Marks and Close5 Marks, respectively.

`
`

`
`Case 3:16-cv-00517-D Document 1 Filed 02/25/16 Page 6 of 12 PageID 6
`
`29. Third Stone and eBay target the same consumers for the goods and
`
`services offered under the 5miles Marks and Close5 Marks, respectively. The relevant
`
`consuming public is the general population who use mobile devices.
`
`30. Consumers are likely to encounter the 5miles Marks and the Close5
`
`Marks side-by-side or in close proximity to each other, as shown below:

`
`Case 3:16-cv-00517-D Document 1 Filed 02/25/16 Page 8 of 12 PageID 8
`
`31. Defendants have advertised and promoted the Close5 mobile application
`
`under the Close5 Marks, at times using the tagline “Everything within 5 miles” both
`
`in advertising and within its Close5 App. The combination of this tagline with the
`
`Close5 Marks so resembles the 5miles Marks that there have been instances of actual
`
`consumer confusion.
`
`32. Third Stone’s rights in the 5miles Marks are senior to eBay’s rights in
`
`the Close5 Marks.
`
`33. Third Stone first learned of Close5 in February 2015, when it noticed
`
`eBay’s trademark application pending before the USPTO. Third Stone filed a notice
`
`of opposition against the Close5 application with the USPTO’s Trademark Trial and
`
`Appeal Board on February 23, 2015. Shortly after the institution of the opposition,
`
`Third Stone and eBay entered into settlement discussions. eBay refused to comply
`
`with Third Stone’s demands despite Third Stone’s senior use of the 5miles Marks,
`
`and the settlement talks fell apart.
`
`IV. CAUSES OF ACTION
`
`COUNT I
`TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT UNDER 15 U.S.C. §1125
`
`34. Third Stone incorporates by reference the allegations contained in
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 33 as if fully set forth herein.
`
`35. This is an action for trademark infringement and arises under the
`
`trademark laws of the United States, namely Title 15 of the United States Code and
`
`more particularly, 15 U.S.C. §1125(a).
`
`36. Third Stone is the owner of the ’765 Registration.

`
`

`
`Case 3:16-cv-00517-D Document 1 Filed 02/25/16 Page 9 of 12 PageID 9
`
`37. Third Stone’s extensive use of the 5miles Mark that is the subject of the
`
`Registration in interstate commerce has substantial common law rights in the 5miles
`
`Mark.
`
`38. Consumers of Third Stone’s goods and services are, or likely will be,
`
`confused as to the source of the goods and services advertised and offered by
`
`Defendants under the Close5 mark.
`
`39.
`
`Such confusion will substantially harm Third Stone’s goodwill and
`
`damage Third Stone’s significant investment of time and resources into creating the
`
`5miles Mark and the goodwill that now surrounds it.
`
`40. Defendants are and have been aware of the 5miles App and the 5miles
`
`Marks, including prior to the launch of the Close5 App.
`
`41. Defendants’ actions constitute willful infringement of Third Stone’s
`
`rights in the 5miles Marks.
`
`42. Third Stone therefore seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
`
`to enjoin eBay’s threatened and unauthorized use of the Close5 trademarks that are
`
`confusingly similar to the 5miles Mark. Third Stone also seeks preliminary and
`
`permanent injunctive relief to enjoin eBay from taking any action with Google or
`
`Apple that may affect the continuing and uninterrupted availability of Third Stone’s
`
`5Miles App on their respective mobile app platforms.

`
`COUNT II
`COMMON LAW TRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT
`
`43. Third Stone incorporates by reference the allegations contained in
`
`Paragraphs 1 through 42 as if fully set forth herein.
`
`44. Third Stone uses and has continuously used the 5miles Marks while
`
`marketing its mobile application throughout Texas and the United States.
`
`45. Third Stone’s extensive use of the 5miles Marks in interstate commerce
`
`has substantial common law rights in the 5miles Marks.
`
`46. Consumers of Third Stone’s goods and services are, or likely will be,
`
`confused as to the source of the goods and services advertised and offered by eBay
`
`under the Close5 mark.
`
`47. Consumers of Third Stone’s goods and services have, in fact, been
`
`confused by the Close5 mark, thinking that the eBay mobile application is offered,
`
`endorsed or controlled by Third Stone or vice versa.
`
`48.
`
`Such confusion has and will continue to substantially harm Third
`
`Stone’s goodwill and damage Third Stone’s significant investment of time and
`
`resources into creating the 5miles Marks and the goodwill that now surrounds them.
`
`49. Third Stone therefore seeks preliminary and permanent injunctive relief
`
`to enjoin eBay’s threatened and unauthorized use of the Close5 trademarks.

`
`
`
`PRAYER FOR RELIEF
`
`WHEREFORE PREMISES CONSIDERED, Third Stone prays that the Court
`
`enter a judgment against Defendants granting Third Stone the following relief:
`
`a. A preliminary injunction enjoining and restraining Defendants from the
`
`use of the 5miles Marks and any mark that is the same as or confusingly
`
`similar to the 5miles Marks, including without limitation Close5, the
`
`tagline “Everything within 5 miles,” and the Close5 app icon;
`
`b. A permanent injunction enjoining and restraining Defendants from the
`
`use of the 5miles Marks and any mark that is the same as or confusingly
`
`similar to the 5miles Marks, including without limitation Close5, the
`
`tagline “Everything within 5 miles,” and the Close5 app icon;
`
`c. That the Court declare this is an exceptional case under the Lanham
`
`Act and award Third Stone its attorneys’ fees; and
`
`d. That the Court award Third Stone such other relief as the Court deems
`
`proper.
