`IN SUPPORT OF PETITIONER’S CROSS-MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
`
`1.
`
`INTRODUCTION
`
`NON-CONFIDENTIAL VERSION
`
`Petitioner, Imagewear Apparel Corp. (“Petitioner”), through its undersigned counsel,
`
`hereby submits Petitioner’s Memorandum in Opposition to Respondent’s Motion for Summary Judgment
`
`(“Respondent’s Motion”) and in Support of Petitioner’s Cross~Motion for Summary Judgment
`
`(“Petitioner’s Cross—Motion”). Respondent Wings Manufacturing Corp. (“Respondent”) bases its motion
`
`for summary judgment on a restrictive, self-serving analysis of the facts and a limited selection of the
`
`relevant DuPont factors that completely misappiies and/or ignores several key elements. Ali of these
`
`omitted elements overwhelmingly weigh in favor of the conclusion that Respondent’s RED SNAP Mark
`
`so resembles Petitioner’s RED KAP Marks as to be likely, when applied to Respondent’s goods, to cause
`
`confusion. As a result, Respondent’s Motion should be denied and Petitioner’s Cross-Motion for
`
`summary judgment pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 56(0) should be granted and Respondent’s RED SNAP
`
`Mark should be cancelled pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1052 (d).

`
`See Jewell Decl. at Exhs. A through H. These valid and subsisting registrations are primafacie evidence
`
`of Petitioner’s exclusive right to use the RED KAP Marks in commerce on the goods specified. Id.
`
`Petitioner’s Use of the RED KAP Marks
`
`The history of the RED KAP Marks began in 1923, when two brothers and their cousin
`
`started a business in Nashville, Tennessee that manufactured and sold bib overalls for men and boys to the
`
`retail and mail order markets in the South and Midwest. Jewell Decl. at fl 7; Lovensheimer Decl. at Exh.
`
`D at 4. Alter four years, they adopted the RED KAP trademark along with the earliest version of the
`
`RED KAP and design logo in 1927. Jewell Decl. at 1l 7; Lovensheimer Decl. at Exh. C (Wedekind Dep.
`
`N.T. l8~i9).
`
`Since the first use of the RED KAP Marks in 1927, Red Kap has expanded its original
`
`business to include a variety of apparel. Jewell Deci. at1] 8. During World War II, Red Kap filled orders
`
`for pants and field jackets for the Army and Navy.
`
`Id. Following World War II, Red Kap entered the
`
`rental laundry business by developing the first laundry~friendly high quality, high durability industrial
`
`shirt and pant that could withstand the rigors of industrial washing. Id. at 1] 9. It also introduced several
`
`other innovative garments including the first laundry~friendly durable press gannents featuring the 65%
`
`polyester/3 5% cotton combination, and durable flame~resistant cotton fabric using the “ammonia cure”
`
`process.
`
`Id.
`
`After first entering the growing wornen’s unifonn business in 1970, today Red Kap has
`
`the broadest women’s product line offering of anyone in the industry. Id. at 1[ 10.
`
`Beginning in the 1980's, Red Kap once again met customer demands by expanding into
`
`executive attire and kitchen and service apparel.
`
`Id. at 1l
`
`1 1. RED KAP apparel became available for the
`
`entire spectrum of markets from white collar to blue coliar. Id. The new spirit of consumerism had
`
`brought a dynamic shift — from traditional uniforms to apparel that was more comfortable, more casual
`
`and more in “tune" with retail contemporary clothing. Id. see also Lovensheirner Decl. at Exh. C
`
`(Wedekind Dep. N.T. 38-39, 50-51)
`
`

`
`Over the course of the last decade, the RED KAP brand has continued to evolve to
`
`accommodate the growing consumer demand for more casual and diverse fabric blends and styles, and the
`
`demand for increased availability of RED KAP brand apparel at retail. Jewell Decl. at ll 12;
`
`Lovenslieimer Decl. at Exh. C (Wedekind Dep. N.T. 38-39, 78-8 E, 83-83). This continued evolution of
`
`the RED KAP brand has taken place since Petitioner took over the RED KAP brand. The RED KAP
`
`brand which began in 1923 being used on bib overalls is now used, and will continue to be used, on a fail
`
`line apparel, including but not limited to nnifonns, heavy-duty work pants, knit polo shirts, button-down
`
`oxford shirts, jeans, khakis, and shorts for both men and women. Jewell Decl. atfil 12.
`
`Due to the long-standing tradition of dedication to research, hard work, and strong
`
`commitment to workmanship, Petitioner is the largest supplier of uniform apparel and other work clothing
`
`in the United States. Jewell Decl. ‘ll 13. The products sold under the RED KAP Marks represent
`
`unmatched style, design, fashion, comfort, care, and a commitment to quality craftsmanship.
`
`Id.
`
`Petitioner will continue to grow, develop and expand its RED KAP product line as Petitioner is a part of
`
`VF Corporation, the largest apparel company in the world. Id.; see also Lovensheimer Decl. at Exhs.
`
`Al-A49 and Exh. E at 3.
`
`Petitioner’s Marketing and Sales
`
`Petitioner has continuously promoted RED KAP apparel nationwide through catalogs.
`
`Id. at fil 14, Exh. 1. RED KAP apparel has also been promoted nationwide continuously through
