No. 31 ORDER - IT IS HEREBY ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED that defendant's motion to dismiss (ECF ...

Document Middle Child, LLC v. Middle Child Group, LLC, 2:24-cv-00854, No. 31 (D.Nev. Nov. 15, 2024)
Motion to Dismiss (Demurrer)
While Rule 8 does not require detailed factual allegations, it demands “more than labels and conclusions” or a “formulaic recitation of the elements of a cause of action.” Ashcroft v. Iqbal, 556 U.S. 662, 678 (2009) (citation omitted).
Thus, to survive a motion to dismiss, a complaint must contain sufficient factual matter to “state a claim to relief that is plausible on its face.” Iqbal, 556 U.S. at 678 (citation omitted).
Second, the factual allegations that are taken as true must plausibly suggest an entitlement to relief, such that it is not unfair to require the opposing party to be subjected to the expense of discovery and continued litigation.
Here, plaintiff’s alleged national magazine features and international social media following (ECF No. 11 at 6) are not connected to and do not establish priority of use in Las Vegas.
Courts assess market penetration by considering sales volume, product growth trends, number of purchasers compared to potential customers, and the amount of advertising.
