`Opposition No. 91246318
`
`
`MOTION TO SUSPEND PROCEEDINGS
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.117(a) and T.B.M.P. § 510.02, Applicant Zebra Technologies
`
`Corporation (“Zebra”) moves to suspend Opposition No. 91246318 because the parties in this
`
`Opposition are involved in an earlier-filed federal civil action that may have a bearing on the
`
`issues in this Opposition. For the same reasons, Zebra has moved to suspend the proceedings in
`
`three other oppositions by Opposer Ward-Kraft, Inc. (“Ward-Kraft”) that involve nearly identical
`
`issues: Opposition Nos. 91245305, 91246308 and 91246309.1
`
`On July 9, 2018, Zebra and its related companies Zebra Technologies International, LLC,
`
`Laser Band, LLC, and ZIH Corp. filed a Complaint in the United States District Court for the
`
`Northern District of Illinois, in which Ward-Kraft is one of the defendants (the “Illinois
`
`Litigation”).2 Zebra’s Complaint is attached as Exhibit 1. In the Illinois Litigation, Zebra
`
`included a claim that Ward-Kraft infringes the trade dress embodied in the trademark application
`
`at issue in this Opposition (Ser. No. 87/495,267). See Exhibit 1 at ¶¶ 38–53, 61–65, 73–81, 135–
`
`143. In the Complaint, Zebra refers to the trade dress that is similar to the trade dress that is
`
`
`1 Zebra’s motion in Opposition No. 91245305 is fully briefed and pending this Board’s decision.
`
` 2
`
` See Zebra Technologies Corporation, Zebra Technologies International LLC, Laser Band LLC & ZIH Corp. v.
`Typenex Medical LLC & Ward Kraft Inc., 1:18-cv-04711 (N.D. Ill.).
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`subject of the trademark application at issue here as the “Configuration Trade Dress.” See id. at ¶
`
`38. Count IX of the Complaint alleges Unfair Competition and False Designation of Origin
`
`pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a), relating to Ward-Kraft’s infringement of the Configuration
`
`Trade Dress. See id. at ¶¶ 135–143.
`
`On September 4, 2018, Ward-Kraft filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses to the
`
`Complaint in the Illinois Litigation. Ward-Kraft’s Answer and Affirmative Defenses is attached
`
`as Exhibit 2. Ward-Kraft’s Eleventh Affirmative Defense reads as follows: “Zebra’s purported
`
`trademark and/or trade dress rights, including but not limited to the Laser Band, L2 and L3
`
`Marks, the Color Blue Trade Dress, and the Configuration Trade Dress, are invalid and/or
`
`unenforceable because they are functional and/or not distinctive.” See Exhibit 2 at page 21. The
`
`Illinois Litigation is still open and pending.3
`
`Ward-Kraft filed this Opposition on February 7, 2019 — more than five months after it
`
`filed its Answer and Affirmative Defenses in the Illinois Litigation. The Opposition includes
`
`claims identical to at least the Eleventh Affirmative Defense Ward-Kraft filed in the Illinois
`
`Litigation, namely, that Zebra’s trademark application Ser. No. 87/495,267 is functional (Count
`
`I) and that it is a non-distinctive product design (Count II). See Notice of Opposition at ¶¶ 75–93.
`
`Thus, it appears Ward-Kraft filed the Opposition, which mirrors Ward-Kraft’s Eleventh
`
`Affirmative Defense in the Illinois Litigation, as a collateral attack on the similar trade dress
`
`Zebra asserts Ward-Kraft has infringed in the Illinois Litigation.
`
`
`3 See Docket sheet for the Illinois Litigation, attached as Exhibit 3. The Illinois Litigation is currently stayed, on
`Ward-Kraft’s motion, pending disposition of a declaratory judgment complaint Ward-Kraft filed in the Eastern
`District of Missouri — Ward-Kraft, Inc. v. Zebra Techs. Corp., No. 4:18-cv-1725 — concerning the applicability of
`a covenant not to sue to certain claims in the Illinois Litigation. See Exhibit 4, Opinion and Order.
`
`
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`
`
`Because this Opposition mirrors Ward-Kraft’s Eleventh Affirmative Defense in the
`
`Illinois Litigation, the Illinois Court’s determination of the merits of that defense will have a
`
`bearing on — and in fact may be dispositive of — two of the three claims in the Opposition.
`
`The Opposition, therefore, should be suspended pending final disposition of the Illinois
`
`Litigation. See 37 C.F.R. § 2.117(a) (“Whenever it shall come to the attention of the Trademark
`
`Trial and Appeal Board that a party or parties to a pending case are engaged in a civil action or
`
`another Board proceeding which may have a bearing on the case, proceedings before the Board
`
`may be suspended until termination of the civil action or the other Board proceeding.”); New
`
`Orleans Louisiana Saints LLC & NFL Properties LLC v. Who Dat?, Inc., 99 U.S.P.Q.2d 1550,
`
`1551 (T.T.A.B. 2011) (suspending proceedings through final disposition of civil proceedings
`
`between the parties); Other Tel. Co. v. Connecticut Nat’l Tel. Co., Inc., 181 U.S.P.Q. 125
`
`(T.T.A.B. 1974) (suspending proceedings pending final disposition of a civil case between
`
`parties); see also 6 McCarthy on Trademarks and Unfair Competition § 32:47 (5th ed.) (“It is
`
`standard procedure for the Trademark Board to stay administrative proceedings pending the
`
`outcome of court litigation between the same parties involving related issues.”).
`
`It is irrelevant that Ward-Kraft’s fraud claim in the Opposition is not at issue in the
`
`Illinois Litigation, as all claims in an opposition do not need to be at issue in a civil action to
`
`warrant suspension. See 37 C.F.R. § 2.117(a).
`
`In addition, to the extent that Ward-Kraft makes an argument to the contrary, B&B
`
`Hardware, Inc. v. Hargis Industries, Inc., 135 S. Ct. 1293 (2015), does not undermine the
`
`Board’s precedent on suspension practices. In Who Dat?, the Board expressly opined that “the
`
`civil action does not have to be dispositive of the Board proceeding to warrant suspension, it
`
`need only have a bearing on the issues before the Board.” Who Dat?, 99 U.S.P.Q.2d at 1551.
`
`
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`
`
`B&B Hardware does not change these practices. See 37 C.F.R. § 2.117; see also TBMP
`
`§ 510.02(a) and cases cited therein (“Although the Supreme Court held [in B&B Hardware] that
`
`issue preclusion can be based on a decision by the Board in a case in which the ordinary
`
`elements of issue preclusion are met, the Board’s policy to suspend in favor of a civil action has
`
`not changed. A civil action may involve other matters outside the Board jurisdiction and may
`
`consider broader issues beyond right to registration and, therefore, judicial economy is usually
`
`served by suspension.”) (emphasis added).
`
`As Ward-Kraft’s claims in the Opposition are at issue in the Illinois Litigation,
`
`Suspension of the Opposition will also conserve both the Board’s and the parties’ resources.
`
`Simply put, it would be inefficient, and could potentially lead to divergent and inconsistent
`
`holdings, if the same issues were litigated in parallel proceedings.
`
`Therefore, Zebra respectfully requests that this Opposition be suspended pending final
`
`disposition of Case No. 1:18-cv-04711 between the parties currently pending in the United States
`
`District Court for the Northern District of Illinois.
