`
`REGISTRANT’S MOTION TO SET ASIDE DEFAULT AND RESPONSE TO THE
`BOARD’S ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE
`
`Pursuant to Sections 312.02 and 510.03(b) of the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board
`
`Manual of Procedure (“TBMP”), Registrant Beautiful Brands LLC (“Registrant”) hereby responds
`
`to the Board’s Order to Show Cause and moves that the Notice of Default [TTABVUE 4] be set
`
`aside for the reasons set forth below.
`
`I.
`
`ARGUMENT
`
`The Board will set aside a notice of default upon a showing of good cause. See Fed. R. Civ.
`
`P. 55(c). Good cause may be found where (1) the delay in filing an answer was not the result of
`
`willful conduct or gross negligence, (2) the plaintiff will not be substantially prejudiced by any
`
`delay, and (3) the defendant has a meritorious defense. Fred Hayman Beverly Hills Inc. v. Jacques
`
`Bernier Inc., 21 USPQ2d 1556 (T.T.A.B. 1991).
`
`The Board “must be mindful that it is the policy of the law to decide cases on their merits.”
`
`TMBP, § 312.02. Thus, the Board strongly favors deciding cases on their merits, instead of on
`
`default. Paolo’s Assoc. Ltd. P’ship v. Bodo, 21 UPSQ2d 1899, 1902 (Comm’r Pat. 1990). In fact,
`
`the Board “is very reluctant to enter a default judgment for failure to timely file an answer,” and
`
`
`
`1
`
`

`

`any doubt should be decided in the defendant’s favor. TBMP, § 312.02.
`
`Good cause exists for setting aside default here because (1) the default was due to a good-
`
`faith error, (2) Petitioner will experience no prejudice because the proceeding is in its infancy, and
`
`(3) Registrant will prevail in this case.
`
`A.
`
`Registrant’s Failure to Timely Answer Was Unintentional and Due to a Good
`Faith Misinterpretation of a USPTO Form.
`
`Registrant’s failure to file an answer was in good faith, unintentional and the result of a
`
`misinterpretation of a USPTO form regarding the correspondence address for notice requirements
`
`and the USPTO’s subsequent change of this address. See Declaration of Thomas Zutic, counsel of
`
`record for the Registration, attached as Exhibit 1.
`
`The USPTO’s form “Change of Address or Representation” form is used to update the
`
`correspondence
`
`email
`
`and
`
`address
`
`for
`
`a
`
`registration.
`
`
`
`See
`
`https://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/apply/correspondence-and-attorneydomestic-representative
`
`(last accessed May 29, 2024). The “Change of Address or Representation” form includes three
`
`sections for email addresses: (1) “attorney section,” (2) “correspondence section,” and (3) “owner
`
`section.” A copy of the USPTO’s “Change Address or Representation” form is attached as Exhibit
`
`2.
`
`On February 24, 2024, Registrant's counsel of record filed a “Change of Address or
`
`Representation” for the Registration (the “Change Filing”). The Change Filing is attached as
`
`Exhibit 3. Registrant identified the following email addresses in each section:
`
` Attorney Section: dctrademarks@us.dlapiper.com;
`
` Correspondence Section: dctrademarks@us.dlapiper.com (as “primary email
`
`address for correspondence” and baris.tezgel@us.dlapiper.com (as secondary email
`
`address); and
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`

` Owner Section: dctrademarksrecords@us.dlapiper.com.
`
`The “Change of Address or Representation” document states “[i]f the owner/holder is
`
`represented by a U.S.-licensed attorney, only the attorney’s email address will be used for
`
`correspondence by the USPTO.” Ex. 2, p. 6. Thus, Registrant understood that the USPTO would
`
`address
`
`all
`
`correspondence
`
`to
`
`the
`
`attorneys’
`
`email
`
`addresses,
`
`namely,
`
`“dctrademarks@us.dlapiper.com” as the primary address and “baris.tezgel@us.dlapiper.com” as
`
`the secondary address.
`
`However,
`
`the USPTO changed
`
`the Registrations’ correspondence address
`
`to
`
`“dctrademarksrecords@us.dlapiper.com” – not “dctrademarks@us.dlapiper.com” A copy of the
`
`TSDR record showing this email as the correspondence email for the Registration is attached as
`
`Exhibit 4.
`
`Thus, Registrant’s counsel did not become aware of the Petition to Cancel for review,
`
`docketing, or response until after the answer deadline. Ex. 1, ¶ 2. Instead, the Petition was sent to
`
`“dctrademarksrecords@us.dlapiper.com,” not to the email addresses designated by Registrant’s
`
`counsel as its primary correspondence address “dctrademarks@us.dlapiper.com”. Ex. 1, ¶ 3. In
`
`periodic monitoring of the “dctrademarksrecords@us.dlapiper.com” email address, the Petition to
`
`Cancel was identified after the Registrant’s answer deadline. Ex. 1, ¶ 4.
`
`Moreover, Petitioner had initiated a related civil action against Registrant in the U.S.
`
`District Court for the Southern District of New York, asserting claims of trade dress and design
`
`patent infringement concerning the cookware claimed in the Registration. This civil action, which
`
`has been pending since November 2023, has been nothing short of contentious with multiple
`
`motions filed and fact discovery ongoing. Petitioner's counsel is well aware of Registrant’s
`
`counsel and is, in fact, in constant communication with counsel in connection with this pending
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`civil action between the parties.
`
`In addition, Petitioner and Registrant’s affiliate, Sensio Inc., are party another dispute in
`
`the Board – Sensio Inc. v. Caraway Home, Inc., Cancellation No. 92084346. That dispute – which
`
`is suspended pending disposition of the parties’ civil action – concerns the trade dress at issue in
`
`the parties’ civil action. See id.
`
`A party filing a petition to cancel should provide all opposing counsel contact information
`
`and to provide information on related disputes. TBMP § 310.01 (stating plaintiff’s should “provide
`
`current contact information for attorneys . . . which may not be in the Office’s TSDR database”);
`
`https://www.uspto.gov/sites/default/files/documents/PTO2188_PetitiontoCancel_06_2020.pdf
`
`(directing filers to identify “related proceedings”). Petitioner failed to do either or serve on
`
`Registrant or its counsel a courtesy copy of the Petition, Notice of Institution, and Notice of
`
`Default. Indeed, Petitioner failed to notify Registrant of this proceeding during any one of their
`
`many communications in the contentious civil action between the parties.
`
`Registrant did not receive and did not timely respond to the Petition to Cancel because it
`
`did not see it because of a good faith error. Ex. 1, ¶ 4. Registrant understood that all
`
`correspondence would be sent to the email addresses listed in the “Correspondence Section.” This
`
`was a good faith, unintentional, misinterpretation based on the fact that the “Change of Address or
`
`Representation” form states that “only the attorney’s email address will be used for correspondence
`
`by the USPTO.” Ex. 2, p. 6.
`
`Thus, Registrant’s failure to timely respond to the Petition to Cancel does not constitute
`
`willful conduct or gross negligence by Registrant.
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`B.
`
`Petitioner Faces No Prejudice by Setting Aside the Notice of Default.
`
`Petitioner will experience no prejudice whatsoever from the Board setting aside the Notice
`
`of Default and resuming proceedings on the merits. The dispute is in its infancy.
`
`Moreover, the cancellation is not based on any immediate need, such as a Petitioner's
`
`application being blocked, a business need, or any other pressing desire to use the BEAUTIFUL
`
`mark.
`
`Instead, Petitioner advances this dispute for the purpose of obtaining leverage in the
`
`pending civil action between the parties.
`
`C.
`
`Registrant Will Prevail Due on the Merits and Due to the Insufficiency of
`Petitioner’s Pleading and Lack of Merit of Petitioner’s Claims.
`
`Registrant has a meritorious defense on all grounds. A defendant need not provide a
`
`thorough evaluation of the merits of its case on a motion to set aside default; instead, it need only
`
`provide a “plausible response” to the complaint’s allegations. TBMP, § 312.02.
`
`1.
`
`Registrant's Mark is Distinctive and At Least Suggestive.
`
`Registrant’s BEAUTIFUL trademark is distinctive and suggestive of the spirit and identity
`
`of its products and the feeling they imbue. It is registered on the principal register, serving as
`
`“prima facie evidence of the validity of the registered mark.” 15 U.S.C. § 1115(a).
`
`Aside from this presumption, a term is merely descriptive only if it “immediately
`
`describes” the registrant’s goods or services, In re Econoheat Inc., 218 U.S.P.Q. 381, 383
`
`(T.T.A.B. 1983), or, put differently, immediately tells “a potential customer what to expect in sum
`
`total of these concepts.” Holiday Inns, Inc. v. Monolith Enter., 21 U.S.P.Q. 949, 952 (T.T.A.B.
`
`1981). In contrast, a term is used in a suggestive manner if it provides vague or indirect
`
`information about the goods or services. 2 J. Thomas McCarthy, McCarthy on Trademarks and
`
`Unfair Competition, §11:19 (2012) (hereinafter “McCarthy”); see also Glamorene Products Corp.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`

`v. Boyle-Midway, Inc., 188 U.S.P.Q. 145 (S.D.N.Y 1975) (finding that the mark SPRAY ‘N VAC
`
`is not merely descriptive of a no scrub rug cleaner and stating “a mark is not merely descriptive
`
`unless descriptiveness is its principal significance. A mark is not descriptive if it merely suggests
`
`the nature or class of the product on which it is used”).
`
`
`
`A term which gives indirect or vague information and requires imagination or a mental
`
`leap to identify the product or service is suggestive, not descriptive. Fortune Dynamic, Inc. v.
`
`Victoria’s Secret Stores Brand Management, Inc., 618 F.3d 1025, 1033 (9th Cir. 2010). Simply
`
`because a mark may “shed some light upon the characteristics of the goods” does not mean a mark
`
`is descriptive, and it will be considered suggestive if effort or imagination is required by the
`
`observer to identify the product. McCarthy, § 11:64 (quoting General Shoe Corp. v. Rosen, 111
`
`F.2d 95, 98, 45 U.S.P.Q. 196 (C.C.A. 4th Cir. 1940), reh’g denied, 112 F.2d 561, 45 U.S.P.Q. 590
`
`(4th Cir. 1940)).
`
`While the term BEAUTIFUL may shed some light on the ethos of Registrant’s business
`
`and the nature of its products, the word neither refers to Registrant’s business nor describes
`
`Registrant’s goods. The word refers to the spirit and identity of its products and the feeling they
`
`imbue.
`
`Moreover, the term BEAUTFUL is commonly recognized as distinctive and registrable for
`
`consumer goods, like Registrant’s goods. A cursory search identified dozens of registrations on
`
`incorporating the term BEAUTIFUL for customer goods (including, without limitation, in Class
`
`21) registered on the principal register without disclaimers for BEAUTIFUL. A non-exhaustive
`
`list of such marks is incorporated in Exhibit 5, and the certificates of registration for such marks
`
`are incorporated in Exhibit 6. These marks show the USPTO often considers the term
`
`BEAUTIFUL distinctive in connection with consumer goods like those covered in the registration.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`2.
`
`Petitioner’s Lack of Use Claim is Improperly Plead and Baseless.
`
`The Petition’s second ground – that the Registration is void ab initio – will also fail.
`
`At the outset, the claim is improperly plead. A complaint must allege well-pleaded factual
`
`matter and more than “[t]hreadbare recitals of the elements of a cause of action, supported by mere
`
`conclusory statements,” to state a claim plausible on its face.” Ashcroft. v. Iqbal, 129 S. Ct. 1937,
`
`1940-50 (2009) (citing Bell Atlantic Corp. v. Twombly, 550 U.S. 544, 555 (2007)). A mere
`
`conclusory allegation that a of lack of use or an intent to use without any factual allegation will
`
`not survive a motion to dismiss. Better Billards Bureau v. Knupp, 2018 WL 6064895, *5 (TTAB
`
`Nov. 16, 2018) [non-precedential].
`
`Moreover, Registrant submitted its statement of use on June 23, 2021 claiming a first use
`
`date of March 29, 2021. Even a simple Google search shows extensive news coverage of the
`
`launch of the BEAUTIFUL brand of products at least as early as March 29, 2021:
`
` Beautiful Kitchenware by Drew Barrymore debuts at Walmart, ABC News, Mar.
`

`
`2021,
`
`https://abcnews.go.com/GMA/Food/beautiful-kitchenware-drew-

`
`new-brand-kitchen-appliances (last accessed May 14, 2024); and
`
` Drew Barrymore's New Line Of Beautiful Kitchenware Totally Lives Up To Its
`
`Name,
`
`Delish,
`
`Mar.
`

`
`2021,
`
`https://www.delish.com/food-
`
`news/a35953245/drew-barrymore-beautiful-kitchenware-walmart/ (last accessed
`
`May 14, 2024).
`
`
`

`
`

`

`Printouts of these websites are attached as Exhibit 7.
`
`
`
`Even a perfunctory search shows the obvious truth – Registrant’s BEAUTIFUL mark was
`
`in use as of its first use date. During the course of the proceedings, Registrant would submit
`
`evidence of such use.
`
`
`
`
`
`Thus, Registrant plainly has a meritorious defense to the second ground.
`
`3.
`
`Petitioner’s Fraud Claim is Improperly Plead and Factually Incorrect.
`
`Petitioner's final claim based on fraud is improperly pleaded. A fraud claim requires that
`
`the registrant knowingly made a false, material representation of fact with the intent of obtaining
`
`a registration. In re Bose Corp., 580 F.3d 1240, 91 USPQ2d 1938, 1939 (Fed. Cir. 2009). Such a
`
`claim must be pleaded with particularity. King Automotive, Inc. v. Speedy Muffler King, Inc., 667
`
`F.2d 1008, 212 USPQ 801, 803 (CCPA 1981); Fed. R. Civ. P. 9(a). Fraud allegations made “on
`
`information and belief” without allegations of “specific facts upon which the belief is reasonably
`
`based” are insufficient to survive a motion to dismiss. Asian and Western Classics B.V. v. Selkow,
`
`92 USPQ2d 1478, 1479 (TTAB 2009). Specifically, pleadings must allege underlying facts giving
`
`rise to an inference that an applicant acted with an intent to deceive. Id.
`
`
`
`None of Petitioner's factual claims with regard to fraud are plead with particularity and is
`
`required under Fed. R. Civ. P. 9. All of Petitioner's factual allegations relating to fraud are based
`
`on “information and belief”:
`
` Paragraph 25: “Upon information and belief, Respondent’s representation that it was using
`
`the mark at issue in commerce as of June 23, 2021, was false at the time Respondent made
`
`it.”
`
` Paragraph 26: “Upon information and belief, Respondent was not actively using the
`
`‘BEAUTIFUL’ mark June 23, 2021.”
`
`
`
`8
`
`

`

` Paragraph 27: “Upon information and belief, Respondent was not actively using the
`
`“BEAUTIFUL” mark . . . as of June 23, 2023, when it filed the statement of use and
`
`specimen.”
`
` Paragraph 28: “Upon information and belief, Respondent falsely represented its use of the
`
`‘BEAUTIFUL’ mark in commerce with the intent to mislead the USPTO and to cause the
`
`USPTO to issue Respondent’s Registration.”
`
`This type of pleading – with bare recitals of the elements of fraud with allegations based on
`
`“information and belief” – is the archetype of fraud filings that are impermissible by Fed. R. Civ.
`
`P. 9 and routinely rejected by the Board. They should be rejected here too.
`
`
`
`Even if the pleading survives a motion to dismiss, the evidence will show the fraud
`
`allegations are baseless, and Registrant’s mark was in use as of its first use date.
`
`II.
`
`THE OPPOSITION SHOULD BE SUSPENDED.
`
`
`
`A defendant is not required to file an answer in a motion to set aside a notice of default.
`
`TBMP § 312.01. While a late answer is often filed in such a circumstance, “it may not be necessary
`
`for the defendant to do so.” TBMP § 312.01.
`
`
`
`Registrant need not file an answer here because the Board should suspend this proceeding
`
`pending the outcome of the related civil action between the parties. Registrant’s motion to suspend
`
`this proceeding has been filed concurrently with this motion and is attached as Exhibit 8.
`
`
`
`If the Board disagrees that a suspension is proper or that Registrant need not file an answer
`
`at this time, Registrant requests 21 days to file its responsive pleading.
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Beautiful Brands, Inc. requests that the Board set aside the notice of
`
`default and grant the concurrently filed motion to suspend.
