`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Mark: FRUITQUAKE
`Application Serial No.: 97/152,770
`Filing Date:
`
`December 2, 2021
`Publication Date: August 9, 2022
`Extension Granted: September 7, 2022
`Extension Granted: December 5, 2022
`
`
`
`id Software LLC, a Delaware limited liability company with an address at 1500 North
`
`Greenville Avenue, Suite 700, Richardson, Texas 75081, United States of America (“Opposer”)
`
`believes it would be damaged by registration of the FRUITQUAKE trademark (“Applicant's
`
`Mark”) by Novomatic AG, an Austrian aktiengesellschaft with an address at Wiener Strasse 158,
`
`Gumpoldskirchen, Austria 2352 (“Applicant”) with the goods and services set forth in Classes 9,
`
`28, and 41 below (“Applicant’s Offerings” or “Offerings”) as listed in Application Serial No.
`
`97/152,770 (“Application”), and hereby opposes the Application (“Opposition”).
`
`The grounds for this Opposition are as follows:
`
`
`
`I. APPLICANT’S OFFERINGS
`
`1. Applicant’s Application seeks registration of Applicant’s Mark in the United States in
`
`connection with the following Offerings, which are collectively defined as “Applicant’s
`
`Offerings” and shown in a February 6, 2023 TSDR Report attached as Annex A:
`
`Class 9: Recorded computer game software; Recorded computer gaming software for
`
`gambling; Recorded game software; Recorded video game software
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`Class 28: Amusement game machines; Arcade game machines; Arcade video game
`
`machines; Electronic gaming machines, namely, devices which accept a wager; Gaming
`
`machines for gambling; Stand alone video game machines; Video game machines
`
`
`
`Class 41: Entertainment services, namely, providing games of chance via the Internet;
`
`Entertainment services, namely, providing online electronic games; Entertainment
`
`services, namely, providing online video games; Gaming services in the nature of
`
`providing online casino games and games of chance; Providing on-line computer games;
`
`Provision of information relating to electronic computer games provided via the Internet
`
`
`
`II.
`
`OPPOSER’S REGISTRATION AND BUSINESS
`
`2. Opposer owns ten (10) active United States Patent and Trademark Office (“Trademark
`
`Office”) Registrations for QUAKE and QUAKE formative marks (collectively,
`
`“Mark(s),” “Opposer’s Mark(s),” or “Registration(s)”) in Classes 9, 16, 28, and 35
`
`covering a variety of video game offerings, as detailed below and in February 6, 2023
`
`TSDR Reports for Opposer’s Registrations attached as Annex B and Opposer’s
`
`Certificates of Registration for its Registrations, which are attached as Annex C.

`
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`3. Opposer is a leading video game developer.
`
`
`
`4. Opposer’s offerings include “computer software games and computer game programs,”
`
`“books in the field of computer software game strategy and game playing hints,” “trade
`
`show exhibitions in the field of computers and computer software,” and other similar
`
`game-focused identifications, as set forth in Annex B (collectively, “Registered
`
`Offerings”).
`
`
`
`5. On information and belief, Opposer is the only video game development company to be
`
`honored twice by the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for its QUAKE
`
`franchise and related 3D technology. See Annex D.
`
`
`
`6. Opposer’s QUAKE video game franchise began in 1996. See Annex E.
`
`
`
`7. By 2021, Opposer’s QUAKE video game franchise expanded to include releases for
`
`Mirosoft Windows, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, XBOX One, and
`
`XBOX Series X/S. Id.
`
`
`
`8. Opposer's Registrations are endowed with statutory rights and constructive use rights
`
`dating back to Opposer’s earliest application date of July 5, 1994 for QUAKE in
`
`connection with “computer software games and computer game programs.” See Annexes
`
`B and C.
`
`
`
`9. Opposer has used its QUAKE Mark since at least as early as August 2, 1996 in interstate
`
`commerce in the United States. Id.
`
`
`
`
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`10. Opposer’s earliest Registration for QUAKE issued on January 21, 1997. Id.
`
`
`
`11. All of Opposer’s Registrations have achieved Incontestability status. See Annex B.
`
`
`
`12. Opposer has developed valuable goodwill and consumer recognition in its Marks and
`
`Registrations.
`
`13. The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (“Board”) granted Opposer two extension
`
`requests to oppose Applicant’s Application and Opposer now wishes to formally initiate
`
`the Opposition before the final opposition deadline.
`
`III. APPLICANT'S APPLICATION AND BUSINESS
`
`
`
`14. On information and belief, Applicant is not using FRUITQUAKE and its Application
`
`was filed on an intent-to-use basis in connection with all Offerings. See Annex A.
`
`
`
`15. Applicant filed its Application on December 2, 2021 ("Filing Date").
`
`
`
`16. Applicant’s Application specifically targets computer game software, video game
`
`machines, electronic games, online video games, and other video game-focused offerings
`
`that directly conflict with Opposer’s Registered Offerings. See Annex A.
`
`
`
`17. Applicant is a prolific producer of games, including electronic games, and owns two
`
`hundred and four (204) active Trademark Office filings in Classes 9, 16, 28, 35, or 41 as
`
`of February 6, 2023. See Annex F.
`
`
`
`-4-
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`18. However, Applicant’s only Trademark Office filing for a mark containing the letterstring
`
`QUAKE is its Application. Id.
`
`
`
`19. Applicant’s Application was filed twenty-seven (27) years after Opposer’s first QUAKE
`
`Registration was filed before the Trademark Office. Compare Annex A with Annex B.
`
`
`
`A.
`
`LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`IV. CLAIMS
`
`20. Opposer's constructive use date, and actual use date, for its Registrations predate
`
`Applicant’s Application filing date.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`21. Applicant had constructive notice of Opposer’s Registrations on the date it filed its
`
`Application on an intent-to-use basis before the United States Patent and Trademark
`
`Office.
`
`22. Applicant's Mark is similar in sight, sound, and meaning to Opposer's Marks and
`
`Registrations, in particular, its QUAKE exact mark and Registrations.
`
`23. Applicant's Offerings directly overlap with Opposer's Registered Offerings.
`
`
`
`24. Applicant’s Offerings are targeted to the same industry, the computer, video, and
`
`electronic gaming industry, as Opposer’s Registered Offerings.
`
`25. Applicant’s target consumers, which are comprised of computer, video, and electronic
`
`gaming players and enthusiasts, are the same target consumers as Opposer’s target
`
`consumers.
`
`
`
`-5-
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`26. Applicant’s Offerings are intended to travel in the same channels of trade as Opposer’s
`
`Registered Offerings.
`
`27. In view of the similarity between the parties' respective marks and offerings, Applicant's
`
`Mark in connection with Applicant’s Offerings is likely to cause confusion, or to cause
`
`mistake, or to deceive as to the origin of Applicant's Offerings, and is likely to suggest an
`
`affiliation, connection, or association of Applicant and Applicant's Offerings with
`
`Opposer, Opposer’s Marks, Opposer's Registered Offerings, and Opposer’s Registrations
`
`with consequent injury to Opposer, to the trade, and to the public.
`
`28. The registration of Applicant's Mark would prevent Opposer from exercising exclusive
`
`control over the goodwill and reputation associated with Opposer's Marks and
`
`Registrations. Therefore, registration of Applicant's Mark would damage and injure
`
`Opposer.
`
`
`
`29. Opposer also will be damaged by the registration of Applicant's Mark because such
`
`registration will yield confusion as to source or affiliation and will support statutory
`
`rights for Applicant in violation and derogation of Opposer's prior, superior, and
`
`exclusive rights in Opposer’s Marks and Registrations.
`
`
`
`30. Because Opposer's rights in Opposer's Mark and Opposer's Registration are prior and
`
`senior to Applicant's rights in Applicant's Mark and the Application, and there exists a
`
`likelihood of confusion between these marks, registration of Applicant's Mark and
`
`Application should be denied.

`
`
`
`
`
`
`V. REQUEST FOR RELIEF
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer requests that this opposition be sustained, and that registration
`
`of Applicant's Mark as reflected in the Application be refused registration.
