`
`PETITION TO CANCEL
`
`A Mothers Touch Movers LLC (“Petitioner”), a Florida Limited Liability Company with
`
`an address at 500 North Drive, Suite 6, Melbourne, Florida 32934, believes that it will be damaged
`
`by the continued registration of the mark A WOMAN’S TOUCH MOVING as shown in U.S.
`
`Trademark Registration No. 5,067,448 (“Respondent’s Registration”) owned by A Woman’s
`
`Touch Moving (“Respondent”), which is purportedly used in connection with services in
`
`International Class 39, and hereby petitions to cancel the registration.
`
`The grounds for the petition are as follows:
`
`PETITIONER’S MARK
`
`1.
`
`Since at least as early as June 8, 1993, Petitioner has used the mark A MOTHER’S
`
`TOUCH MOVERS (“Petitioner’s Mark”) in commerce in connection with a variety of moving
`
`services, including “commercial and residential moving services, namely, the provision of vehicles
`
`and labor for packing, loading, transport, delivery, and unloading of goods; moving and relocation
`
`services, namely, the planning, implementing, project oversight, management, and execution of
`
`residential and commercial moves for others” (collectively, “Petitioner’s Services”).
`
`
`
`2.
`
`Petitioner has expended significant resources in promoting its Services offered
`
`under the mark A MOTHER’S TOUCH MOVERS. Consumers have come to rely on the mark
`
`A MOTHER’S TOUCH MOVERS to identify Petitioner’s Services and to distinguish them from
`
`the services of its competitors. As such, Petitioner maintains valuable trademark rights in the mark
`
`A MOTHER’S TOUCH MOVERS and the goodwill it symbolizes.
`
`3.
`
`In connection with these uses, Petitioner is the owner of U.S. Trademark
`
`Application Serial No. 88/388038 for the mark A MOTHER’S TOUCH MOVERS as used in
`
`connection with Petitioner’s Services.
`
`RESPONDENT’S REGISTRATION
`
`4.
`
`Based on information and belief, Respondent is a Virginia corporation with an
`
`address at 5100 Forest Hill Ave., Richmond, Virginia 23225.
`
`5.
`
`Respondent is the listed owner of Respondent’s Registration for the mark A
`
`WOMAN’S TOUCH MOVING (“Respondent’s Mark”) as specified for use in connection with
`
`“moving and storage of goods; moving company services” (collectively, “Respondent’s
`
`Services”).
`
`6.
`
`The application that matured into Respondent’s Registration was filed for on
`
`January 28, 2016 based on the Respondent’s alleged use of the mark in commerce since at least as
`
`early as May 1, 2006.
`
`GROUNDS FOR CANCELLATION
`
`PRIORITY AND LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`The allegations contained in paragraphs 1-6 above are incorporated herein by
`
`I.
`
`7.
`
`reference.
`
`2
`
`
`
`8.
`
`Petitioner’s use of Petitioner’s Mark in commerce pre-dated Respondent’s first use
`
`of Respondent’s Mark in commerce, as well as the filing date of its application for Respondent’s
`
`Registration. Therefore, Petitioner has priority of use of its Mark over that of Respondent’s use of
`
`its Mark.
`
`9.
`
`Respondent’s Mark is confusingly and deceptively similar to Petitioner’s Mark.
`
`Respondent’s Mark is confusingly similar in sight, connotation, and commercial impression to
`
`Petitioner’s Mark.
`
`10.
`
`Respondent’s Services are identical to or closely related to Petitioner’s Services.
`
`Consumers are likely to believe that Respondent and its Services are somehow sponsored by,
`
`affiliated with and/or related to Petitioner and its Services.
`
`11.
`
`Respondent’s channels of trade and class of purchasers are identical to or very
`
`similar to those of Petitioner.
`
`12.
`
`Due to the similarity between Petitioner’s Mark and Respondent’s Mark, as well as
`
`their respective Services, not to mention the similarity of the channels of trade and classes of
`
`purchasers, the continued registration of Respondent’s Mark will cause great damage and injury
`
`to Petitioner. Persons familiar with Petitioner’s Mark and Services would likely confuse
`
`Respondent’s Services with Petitioner’s Services. Any defect, objection or fault found with
`
`Respondent’s Services offered under its Mark may reflect upon and expose Petitioner to liability,
`
`and injure the reputation that Petitioner has established for its Services. Moreover, Petitioner’s
`
`Mark might not be able to become federally registered in view of Respondent’s Registration.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this petition be sustained, and
`
`Respondent’s Registration be cancelled in its entirety.
