`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`EMI (IP) Limited, a United Kingdom private limited company with a business address at
`
`4 Pancras Square, London, N1C 4AG, United Kingdom, believes that it would be damaged by
`
`the issuance of a registration to NOW! Media, Inc. (“Applicant”) for the NOWMEDIA mark (the
`
`“Contested Mark”) that is the subject of Application Serial No. 90168635 (the “Application”)
`
`and hereby opposes registration of the same under the provisions of Section 13 of the Lanham
`
`Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1063, and Section 2.101 of the Trademark Rules of Practice, 37 C.F.R. § 2.101.
`
`As grounds therefor, Opposer alleges as follows:
`
`I.
`
`OPPOSER’S RIGHTS IN ITS MARKS
`
`1.
`
`For many years, EMI (IP) Limited and its predecessors-in-interest and licensees
`
`(collectively, as applicable, “Opposer”) have continuously used, and Opposer is currently using,
`
`the mark NOW and a family of NOW-inclusive marks (collectively, the “NOW Marks”)—
`
`including the marks NOW, NOW! MUSIC, and NOW DANCE—in interstate and foreign
`
`commerce.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer uses its NOW Marks in connection with all aspects of the entertainment
`
`industry.
`
`
`
`3.
`
`The NOW Marks are inherently distinctive and strong and are therefore entitled to
`
`a broad scope of protection.
`
`4.
`
`The NOW Marks are associated exclusively with Opposer and its goods and
`
`services as a result of Opposer’s extensive, exclusive, and continuous use of the NOW Marks
`
`and the high quality of the goods and services offered under these marks. Consumers have come
`
`to rely on the NOW Marks to identify Opposer’s goods and services and to distinguish them
`
`from the goods and services of its competitors. As such, the NOW Marks have developed
`
`extensive goodwill and consumer recognition and have become famous and well-known in the
`
`United States and throughout the world.
`
`5.
`
`Opposer has used and promoted the NOW Marks together in such a way that the
`
`public associates not only the individual NOW Marks, but the common NOW element of each
`
`member of the family of marks, with Opposer.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer owns the following federal trademark and service mark registrations for
`
`its NOW Marks:

`
`True and correct copies of printouts from the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s online
`
`Trademark Electronic Search System (“TESS”) database showing the current status and title of
`
`the foregoing registrations are attached collectively hereto as Exhibit 1.
`
`7.
`
`The foregoing registrations are valid, subsisting, and in full force and effect.
`
`These registrations constitute evidence of the validity of the registered marks and of the
`
`registration thereof, of Opposer’s ownership of the marks, and of Opposer’s exclusive right to
`
`use the marks in commerce in connection with the identified goods and services pursuant to
`
`Section 7(b) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1057(b). Such registrations place others on
`
`constructive notice of Opposer’s claim of ownership thereof pursuant to Section 22 of the
`
`Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1072.
`
`8.
`
`Opposer’s Registration Nos. 4211879, 2484158, 2462073, 3506405, and 2089508
`
`are incontestable pursuant to Section 15 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1065, and thus serve as
`
`conclusive evidence of Opposer’s exclusive right to use the marks reflected therein in connection
`
`with the goods and services identified in these registrations pursuant to Section 33(b) of the
`
`Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1115(b).
`
`9.
`
`Opposer also owns common law rights in the NOW Marks based on its extensive
`
`use and promotion of such marks in interstate and foreign commerce for many years.
`
`II.
`
`APPLICANT’S APPLICATION TO REGISTER THE CONTESTED MARK
`
`10.
`
`On September 9, 2020, Applicant applied to register the Contested Mark under
`
`Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act for goods in International Class 9 and services in International
`
`Classes 35 and 42.
`
`- 3 -
`
`
`
`11.
`
`Opposer acquired rights in the NOW Marks long before Applicant filed the
`
`Application, long before any commercial use by Applicant of the Contested Mark, and long
`
`before any priority date upon which Applicant may rely.
`
`III.
`
`LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`12.
`
`The Contested Mark is so similar to the NOW Marks as to be likely to create
`
`confusion, mistake, or deception as to the source, sponsorship, or affiliation of Applicant’s goods
`
`and services in the minds of consumers and persons in the trade for the following reasons, among
`
`others:
`
`13.
`
`The Contested Mark is virtually identical to each of the NOW Marks in sight,
`
`sound, and commercial meaning. Among other things, the Contested Mark features the dominant
`
`NOW element of the NOW Marks paired with the generic word MEDIA. On information and
`
`belief, Applicant sometimes uses the Contested Mark with the word NOW in all capital letters
`
`followed by an exclamation point, further reinforcing the similarities between the parties’ marks.
`
`14.
`
`The goods and services recited in the Application are either identical or closely
`
`related to the goods and services offered by Opposer in connection with the NOW Marks.
`
`15.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant’s goods and services offered in connection
`
`with the Contested Mark, if any, and the goods and services offered under the NOW Marks are
`
`likely to be sold, marketed, and/or offered to the same classes of consumers.
`
`16.
`
`On information and belief, the channels of trade for Applicant’s goods and
`
`services offered in connection with the Contested Mark, if any, and the channels of trade for
`
`Opposer’s goods and services offered under the NOW Marks are the same.
`
`- 4 -
`
`
`
`17.
`
`Applicant’s registration of the Contested Mark for the goods and services listed in
`
`the Application is thus likely to cause confusion or mistake, or to deceive the public, in violation
`
`of Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`IV.
`
`DILUTION
`
`18.
`
`The NOW Marks are distinctive and have been used by Opposer for many years
`
`(and still are being used by Opposer) in connection with a wide variety of goods and services
`
`offered by Opposer.
`
`19.
`
`The NOW Marks are famous.
`
`20.
`
`The NOW Marks became famous long before Applicant filed the Application,
`
`long before any commercial use by Applicant of the Contested Mark, and long before any
`
`priority date upon which Applicant may rely.
`
`21.
`
`Applicant’s registration of the Contested Mark for the goods and services listed in
`
`the Application is thus likely to cause dilution by blurring and dilution by tarnishment of the
`
`NOW Marks in violation of Section 43(c) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).
`
`V.
`
`INJURY TO OPPOSER
`
`22.
`
`Permitting Applicant to register the Contested Mark in connection with the goods
`
`and services recited in the Application would be inconsistent with Opposer’s prior exclusive
`
`rights in the NOW Marks and would threaten to destroy Opposer’s investment and goodwill in
`
`such marks. Opposer thus would be injured by the registration of the Application.
`
`23.
`
`Permitting Applicant to register the Contested Mark in connection with the goods
`
`and services recited in the Application further damages Opposer, since registration would confer
`
`various statutory presumptions to which Applicant is not entitled given Opposer’s longstanding
`
`prior use of the NOW Marks.
`
`- 5 -
`
`
`
`24.
`
`Permitting Applicant to register the Contested Mark in connection with the goods
`
`and services recited in the Application would weaken the strength and reputation of the NOW
`
`Marks, resulting in damage and injury to Opposer.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer respectfully requests that this opposition be sustained and that
`
`the Application be denied registration. This Notice of Opposition is submitted electronically and
`
`the undersigned hereby authorizes the payment of all official filing fees or any other fees due
`
`from Deposit Account No. 50-4955.
