I. INTRODUCTION

Registrant Szafarski brings this motion for summary judgment on Petitioner Allied Lomar, Inc.’s

claims that Szafarski’s Registration No. 5,811,545 (“Registrant’s ‘545 Registration”) is invalid under 15

USC §1052(d) (Trademark Act §14(3) and § (2)(a)). (See, Petition for Cancellation, dkt no 1)

In spite of a U.S. District Court finding of abandonment of Petitioner’s mark COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL, and Petitioner’s admission of such abandonment in cancellation proceeding no. 92060851

against Petitioner’s 2,777,811 Registration (“Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration”), Petitioner brings this

proceeding. Aside from the invalidity of Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, there is no likelihood of confusion

of CALIFORNIA COWBOY and Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL. The marks

are quite different and there are many users of COWBOY for whiskey and other alcohol goods.

In addition, Petitioner seeks cancellation on the grounds of its recently filed Application No.

88775912 (“Petitioner’s ‘912 Application”) on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, which was filed after

Registrant’s ‘545 Registration issued, based on priority. This is the same mark as in the ‘811 Registration,

and therefore there is no likelihood of confusion with it too.

Petitioner also asserts common law rights in COWBOY. Petitioner has no such mark. For

example, Petitioner asserted rights in COWBOY in a 2014 lawsuit against the user of COWBOY

BOURBON and lost that suit. Petitioner was not the first to use COWBOY in connection with whiskey

and has no rights. There is also another prior user of PANIOLO (“COWBOY”) for whiskey, and several

additional users of marks having COWBOY therein for whiskey and wine. Moreover, there is no

likelihood of confusion with CALIFORNIA COWBOY.

Petitioner further seeks cancellation based on false suggestion grounds under 15 USC

§1052(a)(Lanham Act §2(a)) because of the word “California” in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration, but there

is no false suggestion. “California” modifies “Cowboy” in CALIFORNIA COWBOY and is not

suggesting where the goods are distilled. Registrant’s front label, approved by the TTB, clearly indicates

distillation in Kentucky and bottling in California.

II. UNDISPUTED FACTUAL BACKGROUND

1. Registrant’s ‘545 Registration is on CALIFORNIA COWBOY for whiskey and was duly issued

by the US Trademark Office on July 23, 2019. See Reg. No. 5,811,545.

2. Registrant’s application was filed November 27, 2018 leading to Registrant’s ‘545 Registration.

See Reg. No. 5,811,545.

3. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL was filed January 28, 2020 on the

word mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL for “alcoholic beverages, except beer” in class 033. See App

No. 88775912.

4. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is not registered. See App No. 88775912 file.

5. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application was filed after the application leading to Registrant’s ‘545

Registration. See Reg No. 5,811,545 and App No. 88775912.

6. Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL is the subject of a cancellation

proceeding no. 92060851, in which Petitioner has admitted that the mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

was abandoned. See Hoffman Decl., ¶s 26-28, Exs. 25-27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in

particular, Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (dkt no 25 Petitioner’s Response, p. 1, lines 14-17)).

7. The U.S. District Court for the Western District of Texas (“District Court”) found, after a jury

verdict, that Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration on COWBOY LITTLE BARREL was invalid based on

abandonment.; See Hoffman Decl., ¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket Sheet); ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict); and ¶4, Ex. 3

(Judgment), all from Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery,

Case No. 14-CA-1078, Western District of Texas (“The Texas Litigation”).

8. Petitioner’s appeal in The Texas Litigation was unsuccessful and is over. The U.S. Court of

Appeals for the Fifth Circuit upheld the District Court’s judgment of abandonment of the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration. See Hoffman Decl., ¶6, Ex. 5 (Allied Lomar,

Incorporated v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Appeal No. 17-50148,

United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, July 18, 2018)(“The Fifth Circuit Appeal”); see also,

¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket Sheet, p. 12, dkt no. 189).

3 | P a g e

9. Petitioner also admitted that it had not sold any COWBOY or COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

whiskey products from and including 2012 until September 29, 2016 (almost 4 years). Hoffman Decl.,

¶24, Ex. 23 (Interrogatory Responses Nos. 5 and 3).

10. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted COWBOY BOURBON was sold by a third party,

Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery (“Lone Star”) at least as early as May 2013.

See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (First Amended Complaint (“FAC”), e.g., p. 10, ¶s 34-35).

11. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted that Lone Star “emphasize[s] the word “COWBOY”

in its branding, marketing, and advertising and on the labels of Defendant’s [Lone Star’s] whiskey

products….” See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g., p. 10, ¶36).

12. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner admitted that “the word “COWBOY” is the dominant portion

of Defendant’s [Lone Star’s] mark “COWBOY BOURBON.” See, Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g.,

p. 11, ¶37).

13. In The Texas Litigation, the court found no likelihood of confusion between Lone Star’s mark

COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey and Petitioner’s mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL. See

Hoffman Decl., ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict, p. 2, Question/Answer No. 1); and ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment, pp. 1-2).

14. In The Texas Litigation, Petitioner asserted that it had common law rights in “COWBOY” based

on its COWBOY LITTLE BARREL labels showing the word “COWBOY” in a larger font than “LITTLE

BARREL.” Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, e.g., pp. 4-5, ¶s 13-14 and on p. 14, ¶55, first cause of action

for infringement of Petitioner’s alleged marks COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE BARREL).

15. In the judgment in The Texas Litigation, Petitioner did not prevail and so its claim of rights in

COWBOY failed. Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment, bottom of page 1: “IT IS ORDERED,

ADJUDGED, and DECREED that Allied Lomar, Inc. TAKE NOTHING….”)

16. Various third parties have used and/or are using marks having COWBOY therein and/or have

registrations and/or applications pending thereon, as shown in the tables below. All four of these marks

are for whiskey and are in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 7-9, Exs. 6-8 (evidencing purchase and thus use of the

marks); Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A (evidencing purchase and thus use); Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg

4 | P a g e

no. 4,684,956) and ¶29, Ex. 28 (App No. 85/544,721).

the Alcohol and Tobacco Tax and Trade Bureau) for COWBOY until May, 2015. Hoffman Decl., ¶16,

Ex. 15 (Petitioner’s COLAs for COWBOY produced in response to request for production).

21. Petitioner Allied Lomar has no evidence of use of COWBOY, independently of the mark

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, prior to 2016 (especially given the lack of a COLA until 2015 and given

admission of paragraph 9 above). Hoffman Decl., ¶s 16 and 18, Exs. 15 and 17 (Response to request for

production and all COLAs produced by Petitioner for COWBOY).

22. Petitioner’s blended whiskey currently on sale ranges from $19.99 to $34.99 per bottle,

depending in part upon the size: 375 ml vs 750 ml. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (documents produced

by Petitioner showing its blended whiskey and rye whiskey offered for sale). Petitioner has yet to produce

any evidence of its bourbon being on sale. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (no documents produced with

respect to bourbon).

III. SUMMARY JUDGMENT STANDARDS

Summary judgment must be granted where "there is no genuine issue as to any material

fact and ... the movant is entitled to judgment as a matter of law." F. R. Civ. P. 56(c). A

primary purpose of this summary judgment procedure is to identify and dispose of factually

unsupported claims. Celotex Corp. v. Caterett, 477 U.S. 317, 323-24, 91 L. Ed. 2d 265, 106 S.

Ct. 2548 (1986).

To defeat a properly supported summary judgment motion, the non-movant cannot rest

on his allegations alone, but must come forward with credible, admissible evidence showing

a genuine issue of fact as to each element of his claim. Id. at 324-325. Disputed facts that do

not resolve or affect the outcome of the litigation will not preclude the entry of summary

6 | P a g e

judgment. Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, Inc., 477 U.S. 242, 248 (I 986). "Where the record taken

as a whole could not lead a rational trier of fact to find for the non-moving party, there is no

'genuine issue for trial,' and the moving party must prevail as a matter of law). Id. at 587.

IV. THERE IS NO LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION OF REGISTRANT’S CALIFORNIA

COWBOY WITH PETITIONER’S ALLEGED MARK COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

A. Du Pont Factors

To determine whether the mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY is likely to be confused with

Petitioner’s marks, one looks to the pertinent du Pont factors, which are as follows:

(1) The similarity or dissimilarity of the marks in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression.

(2) The similarity or dissimilarity and nature of the goods or services as described in an application or registration or in connection with which a prior mark is in use.

(3) The similarity or dissimilarity of established, likely-to-continue trade channels.

(4) The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e. "impulse" vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing.

(5) The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use). (6) The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods. (7) The nature and extent of any actual confusion. (8) The length of time during and conditions under which there has been

concurrent use without evidence of actual confusion. (9) The variety of goods on which a mark is or is not used (house mark, "family"

mark, product mark). (10) The market interface between applicant and the owner of a prior mark:

(a) a mere "consent" to register or use. (b) agreement provisions designed to preclude confusion, i. e. limitations on

continued use of the marks by each party. (c) assignment of mark, application, registration and good will of the related

business. (d) laches and estoppel attributable to owner of prior mark and indicative of

lack of confusion. (11) The extent to which applicant has a right to exclude others from use of its

mark on its goods. (12) The extent of potential confusion, i. e., whether de minimis or substantial. (13) Any other established fact probative of the effect of use.

Not all of the DuPont factors may be relevant or of equal weight in a given case, and "any one of

the factors may control a particular case," In re Dixie Rests., Inc., 105 F.3d 1405, 1406-07, 41 USPQ2d

1531, 1533 (Fed.Cir.1997). Although the weight given to the relevant du Pont factors may vary, the first

two factors are key considerations in any likelihood of confusion determination: similarity/dissimilarity

of the marks and relatedness of the goods/services. See, e.g., Federated Foods, Inc. v. Fort Howard

Paper Co., 544 F.2d 1098, 1103, 192 USPQ 24, 29 (C.C.P.A. 1976) (“The fundamental inquiry

mandated by § 2(d) goes to the cumulative effect of differences in the essential characteristics of the

goods and differences in the marks”); In re Majestic Distilling Co., 315 F.3d 1311, 65 USPQ2d 1201,

1203 (Fed. Cir. 2003); In re Thor Tech, Inc., 90 USPQ2d 1634, 1635 (TTAB 2009).

B. Here CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Sufficiently Different from COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion

Often the controlling factors are “similarity of the marks and relatedness of the goods.” Coach

Servs., Inc v. Triumph Learning, LLC, 668 F.3d 1356, 1366 (Fed. Cir. 2012) (quoting Herbko Int’l,

Inc. v. Kappa Books. Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164 (Fed. Cir. 2002)). "Not all of the DuPont factors are

relevant to every case, and only factors of significance to the particular mark need be considered." In

re Mighty Leaf Tea, 601 F.3d 1342, 1346 (Fed. Cir. 2010). For example, the Board can "focus ... on

dispositive factors, such as similarity of the marks and relatedness of the goods." Herbko Int'l, Inc. v.

Kappa Books, Inc., 308 F.3d 1156, 1164 (Fed. Cir. 2002) (citation omitted).

While the goods here may be the same or essentially the same, “whiskey” in Registrant’s

‘545 Registration and “bourbon whiskey” in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, the marks are not close.

Even if one assumes for purposes of argument that the goods are the same and assumes that there is a

complete or substantial overlap of markets, the marks are sufficiently different that there would be no

likelihood of confusion.

The marks are compared “in their entireties as to appearance, sound, connotation and

commercial impression.” du Pont, 476 F.2d at 1361. In that vein, “[i]t is well-established that it is

8 | P a g e

improper to dissect a mark, and that marks must be viewed in their entireties.” Coach Servs., 668

F.3d at 1368 (quoting In re Shell Oil Co., 992 F.2d 1204, 1206 (Fed. Cir. 1993)).

Dissimilarity to the extent here is more than enough to be dispositive as a matter of law. See,

Kellogg Co. v. Pack’em Enters, Inc., 951 F.2d 330, 332, 21 USPQ2d 1142, 1145 (Fed. Cir.

1991)(famous FRUIT LOOPS mark versus FROOTEE ICE; no likelihood of confusion); see also,

Swatch AG v. M. Z. Berger & Co., Inc. 108 USPQ2d 1463 (TTAB 2013) (IWATCH for assorted

watches and timekeeping devices not likely to be confused with well-known SWATCH brand, even

though goods are the same). As noted by the Board in the Kellogg Co. case:

[c]onsidering the marks in their entireties, ... they differ so substantially in appearance, sound, connotation and commercial impression that there is no likelihood that their contemporaneous use by different parties will result in confusion.

Kellogg Co. v. Pack’em Enters, Inc., 951 F.2d 330, 332, 21 USPQ2d 1142, 1145 (Fed. Cir.

1991)(Federal Circuit quoting the Board). See also, Citigroup Inc v. Capital City Bank Group Inc.,

637 F.3d 1344, 1351, 98 USPQ2d 1253, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(Mark CAPITAL CITY BANK for

banking services not confusingly similar to famous mark CITIBANK for the same services

particularly due to word CAPITAL, spelling and no actual confusion in spite of other factors favoring

likelihood of confusion).

Likewise, here, the dissimilarity between CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL is readily apparent.

When comparing the CALIFORNIA COWBOY mark in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration and

the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL of Petitioner’s marks in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and

Petitioner’s ‘912 Application, the comparison cannot focus merely on the common word COWBOY.

Rather, when comparing the marks as a whole, the focus is on the “sound, connotation and

commercial impression” of the marks in their entireties.

When viewing Registrant’s mark as a whole in a light most favorable to Petitioner, the look

and sound are different. Consumers will readily see that there is emphasis on CALIFORNIA in

9 | P a g e

CALIFORNIA COWBOY, and that the mark connotes a “cowboy from California.” Moreover,

CALIFORNIA comes first in Registrant’s mark. It is a long and alliterative word with COWBOY.

Therefore, even if one were to consider COWBOY as the dominant part of the mark, its domination is

small. CALIFORNIA packs a lot of punch.

By contrast, COWBOY LITTLE BARREL has COWBOY first and connotes and gives the

impression of a craft whiskey, not made in large volume. Since COWBOY comes first in this mark,

the emphasis is different. The sound is different. The commercial impression is different. The only

common thing is COWBOY, which is just not enough to overcome a clear difference in sound,

connotation and commercial impression between the two marks.

Therefore, it is not likely that consumers would confuse CALIFORNIA COWBOY with

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL based on a comparison of the marks, without the need to resort to other

du Pont factors.

C. It Has Already Been Held by a District Court and Affirmed on Appeal that a Third Party’s

Mark COWBOY BOURBON Is Not Confusingly Similar to COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

In 2014, Petitioner sued Lone Star for trademark infringement of its COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL for bourbon mark. Hoffman Decl., ¶2, Ex. 1 (Docket sheet for The Texas Litigation). At the

time Lone Star was using and is still using COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4

(FAC, ¶s 34-35 allegation/admission by Petitioner that COWBOY BOURBON is on sale as of May 2013;

and Hoffman Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6 (current purchase/on sale information for COWBOY BOURBON).

Specifically, Petitioner asserted its COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark of Petitioner’s ‘811

Registration. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶11). The U.S. District Court for the Western District of

Texas (“District Court”) in The Texas Litigation found that there was no likelihood of confusion between

Lone Star’s mark COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey and Petitioner’s mark COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL for the same goods, bourbon whiskey. See Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment in

case no. 14-cv-1078, dated January 24, 2017, pp. 1-2 (“IT IS ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and DECREED

10 | P a g e

that Allied Lomar, Inc. TAKE NOTHING….” And “IT IS FURTHER ORDERED, ADJUDGED, and

DECREED that trademark No. 2,777,811 for “Cowboy Little Barrel” … for bourbon whiskey … has

been abandoned and it is no longer valid.”)); Hoffman Decl., ¶3, Ex. 2 (Jury Verdict form, Question 1,

Likelihood of Confusion “Do you find, by a preponderance of the evidence, that the Garrison Brothers’

sale of COWBOY BOURBON created a likelihood of confusion with Allied’s trademark COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL? … ANSWER: NO”).

Petitioner’s appeal was unsuccessful. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶6, Ex. 5 (Decision in The Fifth

Circuit appeal).

Given the “no likelihood of confusion” result in the Allied Lomar v Lone Star case where the

alleged infringing mark COWBOY BOURBON was much closer to Petitioner’s COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL and the goods were identical, it is evident that there is no likelihood of confusion here.

D. Several Other du Pont Factors Favor a Finding of No Likelihood of Confusion

Du Pont Factors (4), (5), (6), (7), (8) and (13) also favor a finding of no likelihood of

confusion, as explained below.

1. Factor (4): The conditions under which and buyers to whom sales are made, i.e.

"impulse" vs. careful, sophisticated purchasing.

Petitioner’s blended whiskey currently on sale ranges from $19.99 to $34.99 per bottle,

depending in part upon the size: 375 ml vs 750 ml. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (documents produced

by Petitioner showing its blended whiskey and rye whiskey offered for sale). Petitioner has yet to produce

any evidence of its bourbon being on sale. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (no documents produced with

respect to bourbon).

Whiskey, and in particular costing about $20 to $35, is not an impulse buy. Whiskey comes in

several types: blended whiskey, rye whiskey, bourbon whiskey, scotch whiskey, etc. See, 27 CFR §5.22.

Given the price of whiskey and the several different types, there is at some reasonable purchaser care

exercised by whiskey drinkers beyond an impulse buy.

11 | P a g e

2. Factor (5): The fame of the prior mark (sales, advertising, length of use)

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (and COWBOY) are not famous. The length of use since

abandonment is not that long, i.e., since September 29, 2016. (See below re abandonment and COLA.) No

evidence of sales, ongoing sales or evidence of significant sales has been produced even though

Registrant served discovery requests for same on June 17, 2020. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 17-19, Exs. 16-18.

The web pages produced by Petitioner are for rye whiskey and blended whiskey, not the bourbon whiskey

goods in Registrant’s ‘545 Registration. Hoffman Decl., ¶19, Ex. 18 (Petitioner’s documents).

Moreover, the mark is not strong because it was abandoned and had years of nonuse. See,

Hoffman Decl., ¶s 2-4, Exs.1-3 (Order denying JMOL, Verdict and Judgment in The Texas

Litigation). Petitioner has also admitted that the mark was abandoned. See, e.g., Hoffman Decl., ¶28,

Ex. 27 (“Response,” dkt no. 25, filed 11/22/2019, p. 1, lines 14-17 in Cancellation Proceeding No.

92060851 against Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration).

Further, Petitioner’s mark is not strong as there are several users of marks with the word

“COWBOY” therein in International Class 033. (See Section 3 below re Factor (6).) Moreover,

Petitioner has admitted it did not start up sales again of the asserted marks COWBOY and

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL until at least September 29, 2016. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex. 23

(Interrogatory responses nos. 3 and 5).

In sum, Petitioner’s mark is not famous, Petitioner has provided no evidence of actual sales (no

invoices or the like), and Petitioner’s use, to the extent there is any, is at most about four years.

3. Factor (6): The number and nature of similar marks in use on similar goods.

There are several users of COWBOY for the same goods or similar goods (whiskey, spirits and

other alcohol in class 033) as Petitioner. In the first chart below, CHART OF COWBOY FOR

WHISKEY USERS, all four of these marks are for whiskey and are in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 7-9, Exs. 6-

8; Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A.

Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6.

Another user is LeVecke Corporation which uses PANIOLO which means “cowboy” in

Hawaiian. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (label images and purchase information); ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg No.

4,684,956, translation statement: “The English translation of “Paniolo” in the mark is “cowboy”);

Hoffman Decl., ¶11, Ex. 10 (Merriam-Webster definition of “Paniolo” as Hawaiian for “cowboy”) and

¶10, Ex. 9 (Dictionary.com defining “Paniolo” as “a person who herds cattle; cowboy.”). In addition to

the dictionary definition and meaning of PANIOLO, the PANIOLO front and rear label make it evident to

purchasers that PANIOLO means COWBOY. See, PANIOLO whiskey lavel with a photo of a cowboy on

the label and the tagline below PANIOLO on the label: “The Spirit of the Hawaiian Cowboy.” Hoffman

Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (front and rear labels of PANIOLO whiskey).

As shown in the chart, COWBOY COUNTRY and GRIFF’S COWBOY WHISKEY are also

13 | P a g e

current users of COWBOY for whiskey. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶9, Ex. 8; Szafarski Decl., ¶4, Ex. A.

There are also several other users and registrants of marks with COWBOY therein in

International Class 033, including for wine as shown in the chart below:

All four wines in the table are still on sale using the marks therein. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 12-15, Exs. 11-14.

Whiskeys and wines are often sold by the same sellers. There are many sellers of both wine and

whiskey. In fact, Petitioner produced web site page printouts displaying its whiskey and COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL. All fourteen of these sites that Petitioner produced web pages for also offer wine.

Hoffman Decl., ¶20, Ex. 19; and see ¶19, Ex. 18 (Petitioner’s produced website print outs).

Moreover, BevMo, Cask Cartel, Ray’s Wine and Spirits, Spirits & Spice, Total Wine & More and

WineDeals.com also sell both whiskey and wine. Hoffman Decl., ¶22, Ex. 21. Therefore, there is no

doubt that wine and whiskey are often sold in the same channels of trade. All of the users of COWBOY

listed in the above table have U.S. trademark registrations back to 2007-2009 and 2013. Hoffman Decl.,

¶s 33-36, Exs. 32-35 (Reg. Nos. 3512066, 3589200, 3228971 and 4399898).

Even if the complete dissimilarity of the marks CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL alone were not dispositive, the weakness of the word COWBOY in the alcohol goods

is apparent given the other users of COWBOY in whiskey and bourbon products. In sum, there are many

users of COWBOY in their marks for whiskey and other alcohol in International Class 033. For these

reasons, the word COWBOY is commonly used in class 033 and has very little strength therein.

14 | P a g e

4. Factor (7): The nature and extent of any actual confusion.

No evidence of any actual confusion has been observed by Registrant and no evidence of any

actual confusion has been provided by Petitioner. Szafarski Decl., ¶2; Hoffman Decl., ¶18. This factor

favors a no likelihood of confusion finding.

5. Factor (8): The length of time during and conditions under which there has been

concurrent use without evidence of actual confusion.

The parties have used the same marks in the same channels of trade for at least one and a half

years. Szafarski Decl., ¶2. While this time may not seem long, when one considers that use has been in

some of the same stores, it becomes more significant. Hoffman Decl., ¶21, Ex. 20 (see, e.g., COWBOY

search results at woodencork.com, displaying COWBOY LITTLE BARREL rye whiskey and

CALIFORNIA COWBOY whiskey; similar result at delmesaliquor.com. This factor favors a finding of

no likelihood of confusion.

6. Factor (13): Any other established fact probative of the effect of use.

The goods in question are whiskey, a distilled spirit, regulated by the TTB. Under TTB

regulations, the label must have brand name (27 CFR §5.34), name and address of the bottler (27 CFR

§5.36(a)) and other information. The label is submitted for a “COLA” (Certification of Label Approval)

and must be on the bottle. For whiskey, there must also be an age statement where the whiskey has not

been aged for at least four years, and the same is true for blended whiskeys if the youngest whiskey is not

more than four years old. 27 CFR 5.40(a). Under 27 CFR §5.22, the standards to be able to call the spirit

“whisky” and each type of whisky (such as “bourbon whisky,” “rye whisky” and “corn whisky”) are set

forth in detail as to proof, mash ingredients, barrels or containers, time in the barrel or container, and

other factors.

Given the TTB requirements for whiskey labelling, there are further ways for whiskey purchasers

to distinguish the Registrant’s goods from the Petitioner’s goods. And given that du Pont factors (4), (5),

(6), (7), (8) and (13) also strongly favor a finding of no likelihood of confusion, there is no likelihood of

confusion.

15 | P a g e

E. Registrant’s Mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Also Not Confusingly Similar to

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL in Petitioner’s ‘912 Application

Petitioner also seeks to cancel Registrant’s ‘545 Registration based on Petitioner’s ‘912

Application. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is on the same mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL as in

Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration discussed above. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application was filed well after

Registrant’s ‘545 Registration. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application is for “alcoholic beverages, except beer,”

which is broader than Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration for bourbon whiskey. Petitioner’s ‘912 Application

claims first use in commerce in 2016.

Regardless of whether Petitioner’s priority claim is proper (given the abandonment discussed

herein), there is no likelihood of confusion under 2(d) for the same reasons as set forth in Sections A to D

above with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration.

F. Conclusion

For the above reasons, including that the significant differences in appearance, sound,

connotation and commercial impression between Registrant’s CALIFORNIA COWBOY and

Petitioner’s COWBOY LITTLE BARREL strongly favor Registrant, Registrant is entitled to

summary judgment on the 2(d) grounds with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and

Petitioner’s ‘912 Application.

Moreover, even assuming the undiscussed factors all favor Petitioner, factors (4), (5), (6),

(7), (8) and (13) also favor a finding of no likelihood of confusion. Factor (6) very strongly favors

Registrant Szafarski where it is clear that there are a number of users of similar marks having

COWBOY therein on the same and on similar goods. When one further considers that whiskey is

not an impulse buy and that COWBOY LITTLE BARREL is not famous, that there is no actual

confusion, and that the TTB labelling requirements are strict, Registrant is entitled to summary

judgment on the 2(d) grounds with respect to Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration and Petitioner’s ‘912

Application.

16 | P a g e

V. PETITIONER’S CLAIMS OF RIGHTS IN THE ALLEGED COMMON LAW MARK

“COWBOY” AND ALLEGED LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION WITH

CALIFORNIA COWBOY BOTH FAIL IN VIEW OF PREVIOUSLY EXISTING AND

EXTENSIVE THIRD PARTY PRIOR RIGHTS AND FOR OTHER REASONS

A. Petitioner Lacks Any Rights in COWBOY

As explained in Section IV.D.3. above, there are many users of marks having COWBOY therein

for whiskey, wine and other alcohol in International Class 033. For this reason, Petitioner cannot have

rights in COWBOY alone as a mark for alcohol.

1. It Is Not Possible for Petitioner to Have Rights in COWBOY Alone Given the

Prior Use and Application of COWBOY BOURBON and The Texas Litigation

One of the users of COWBOY (referred to in Section IV.D.3. above) is Lone Star which has used

and is using COWBOY BOURBON. Lone Star filed a federal trademark application on February 16,

2012. Hoffman Decl., ¶29, Ex. 28 (Lone Star’s App. No. 85/544,721). Lone Star started use at least as

early as 2013. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶s 34-35: Petitioner’s admission of Lone Star’s use of

COWBOY BOURBON). The mark COWBOY BOURBON is shown in the above CHART OF

COWBOY FOR WHISKEY USERS and is still in use. Hoffman Decl., ¶7, Ex. 6 (evidence of current use

of COWBOY BOURBON).

Petitioner also admitted that Lone Star has been using COWBOY as the dominant part of

COWBOY BOURBON. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (Petitioner’s admission of use of COWBOY

BOURBON in FAC, pp. 10-11, ¶s 36-38). Petitioner’s claim of rights in COWBOY and infringement by

Lone Star failed and this failure is subsumed in the judgment that Petitioner take nothing in The Texas

Litigation. Hoffman Decl., ¶4, Ex. 3 (Judgment). The issue of who had superior rights in COWBOY was

litigated as it was in Petitioner’s FAC. Hoffman Decl., ¶5, Ex. 4 (FAC, ¶s 13-14, 55). And it would be

essential to a judgment in that case to have denied any rights in COWBOY to Lone Star. As noted by the

Federal Circuit, “[t]he principle of Blonder-Tongue Labs., Inc. v. University of Illinois Foundation, 402

U.S. 313, 91 S.Ct. 1434, 28 L.Ed.2d 788, 169 USPQ 513 (1971), respecting collateral estoppel also

applies to unenforceability. General Electro Music Corp. v. Samick Music Corp., 19 F. 3d 1405, 1413

17 | P a g e

(Fed. Cir. 1994). Petitioner had a jury trial and an appeal in The Texas Litigation and lost to Lone Star. It

had a full and fair opportunity to litigate this issue.

“[I]ssues which are actually and necessarily determined by a court of competent jurisdiction are

normally conclusive in a subsequent suit involving the parties to the prior litigation.” Mother's

Restaurants Incorporated v. Mama's Pizza, Inc., 723 F.2d 1566, 1569 (Fed. Cir. 1983). Therefore,

Petitioner is precluded from asserting herein that it has superior rights in COWBOY as compared to Lone

Star’s rights.

Under the doctrine of merger and bar, Petitioner lost to Lone Star. See, e.g., Migra v. Warren City

School Dist. Bd. of Educ., 465 U.S. 75, 77 n. 1, 104 S.Ct. 892, 79 L.Ed.2d 56 (1984) ("Claim preclusion

therefore encompasses the law of merger and bar.") Therefore, Lone Star’s rights are superior to

Petitioner’s rights. Accordingly, collateral estoppel applies to bar Petitioner from asserting that it has

rights to COWBOY. See, e.g., Parklane Hosiery Co. v. Shore, 439 U.S. 322, 326-328 (1979)(mutuality of

parties is not required for collateral estoppel).

Petitioner was also found to have abandoned its usage in The Texas Litigation. Hoffman Decl., ¶s

3-4, Exs. 2-3. Petitioner admitted this abandonment in cancellation proceeding no. 92060851. See

Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in particular, dkt no 25,

Petitioner’s Response at p. 1, lines 14-17).

Petitioner did not apply for a COLA on a label with COWBOY alone until 2015. See Hoffman

Decl., ¶16, Ex. 15. Petitioner has provided no evidence that Petitioner used COWBOY alone on a label

for almost twenty years without a COLA from the TTB. Id. This is yet another reason that Petitioner

abandoned its alleged mark and/or had inferior rights to Lone Star and therefore no rights in COWBOY.

Petitioner even admitted no usage of COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE BARREL from and including

2012 to September 29, 2016. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex. 23 (Interrogatory Responses 3 and 5). This well

over three-year period kicks in the presumption of abandonment. 15 USC §1127.

Because of Petitioner’s abandonment, and its admission of the usage of COWBOY BOURBON

by Lone Star, Lone Star’s usage predates any alleged rights of Petitioner in COWBOY, and thus

18 | P a g e

precludes Petitioner from having any such rights in COWBOY. “Undoubtedly, the general rule is that, as

between conflicting claimants to the right to use the same mark, priority of appropriation determines the

question.” United Drug Co. v. Theodore Rectanus Co., 248 U.S. 90, 100, 248 US 90, 39 S. Ct. 48, 63 L.

Ed. 141 (1918).

2. It Is Not Possible for Petitioner to Have Rights in COWBOY Alone Given the

Prior Use and Registration of PANIOLO Which Means “COWBOY”

Another COWBOY user for whiskey is LeVecke Corporation. LeVecke uses PANIOLO which

means “cowboy” in Hawaiian. See, Hoffman Decl., ¶8, Ex. 7 (evidence of current use of PANIOLO)

Hoffman Decl., ¶s 10-11, Exs. 9-10 (dictionary meaning of PANIOLO in Hawaiian is “cowboy”).

LeVecke also filed a federal trademark application on May 9, 2011 and was issued a federal registration.

Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg. No. 4,684,956). PANIOLO’s registration issued February 10, 2015, and

its Section 8 & 15 affidavit has been filed and accepted by the USPTO. The registration is incontestable.

See Hoffman Decl., ¶30, Ex. 29 (Reg No. 4,684,956). Further, because Petitioner abandoned its mark as

held in The Texas Litigation and as admitted by Petitioner in the cancellation proceeding against

Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration, PANIOLO has superior rights to Petitioner. See Section V.A.1. above and

see Hoffman Decl., ¶28, Ex. 27 (Cancellation Proceeding No. 92060851 and in particular, dkt no 25,

Petitioner’s Response at p. 1, lines 14-17). Petitioner has no rights in COWBOY alone.

3. There Is Also a Pending Application No. 86336251 Filed July 14, 2014 on

COWBOY by Domino Brands, LLC by Petitioner’s Counsel Which Is on

Bourbon Whiskey and Which Has Been Rejected and Suspended

A company called Domino Brands, LLC filed a trademark application on COWBOY serial no.

86336251 (Domino’s ‘251 Application) for bourbon whiskey on July 14, 2014. Petitioner claims that

Domino Brands, LLC owns the rights and Petitioner has an exclusive distributor and marketing agent

relationship with Domino Brands, LLC but has failed to produce any agreement. Hoffman Decl., ¶24, Ex.

23 (Interrogatory Response No. 2).

Domino’s ‘251 Application on COWBOY was rejected under §2(d) over application serial no.

85316043 on PANIOLO for whiskey and application serial no. 85544721 on COWBOY BOURBON for

19 | P a g e

whiskey, filed February 16, 2012. Hoffman Decl., ¶s 31-32, Exs. 30-31 (App. No. 86336251 and Office

Action dated August 18, 2014, especially first page, “PRIOR-FILED APPLICATIONS” section).

4. Petitioner cannot have rights in COWBOY alone given many users thereof

alcohol including whiskey and wine that have COWBOY therein including:

of COWBOY by Petitioner. All of the above listed marks are still in use. See Section IV.D.3. above.

In view of this many third-party users of COWBOY for whiskey and other alcohol, Petitioner

lacks sufficient rights in COWBOY to assert a §2(d) claim against Registrant’s ‘545 Registration.

5. Conclusion: Petitioner Has No Rights in COWBOY Alone

In view of the above, especially the prior rights of others in PANIOLO and in COWBOY

BOURBON, Petitioner has no rights in COWBOY. In addition, given the many users of marks for

whiskey and wine with COWBOY in them, it is not possible for Petitioner to have any rights in the

asserted common law mark COWBOY. Moreover, any allegation of superior rights (priority) over

COWBOY BOURBON or over PANIOLO or various other users and registrations is specious in view of

The Texas Litigation, the admission of abandonment of COWBOY LITTLE BARREL and other reasons

set forth above.

20 | P a g e

B. CALIFORNIA COWBOY Is Sufficiently Different from COWBOY Given Petitioner’s

Very Narrow Rights, If Any, Such That There Is No Likelihood of Confusion

Petitioner asserts that it has common law rights in the term COWBOY for whiskey or bourbon.

Given the many users of COWBOY for whiskey and wine in International Class 033, Petitioner cannot

have any exclusive rights in the asserted common law mark COWBOY. CALIFORNIA COWBOY is

different in appearance, sound and meaning from just COWBOY. As noted above, CALIFORNIA is a

long, alliterative word. Moreover, Petitioner’s rights in COWBOY, if any, are extremely narrow given the

many users of marks with COWBOY for whiskey and wine. The remaining du Pont factor discussion is

the same as explained above in Section IV. Due to the weakness of COWBOY and differences in the

marks, there would be no likelihood of confusion between CALIFORNIA COWBOY and COWBOY.

The situation in the present cancellation proceeding is similar to that of the Citigroup Inc case. In

that case, Citigroup Inc. opposed registration of CAPITAL CITY BANK in view of its mark CITIBANK.

Therefore, the Federal Circuit compared CITIBANK and CAPITAL CITY BANK, and found that the

word “Capital” in front of “City Bank” along with a small difference in spelling/meaning was sufficient to

distinguish CAPITAL CITY BANK from CITIBANK, even though the services were the same and even

though CITIBANK is very famous. Citigroup Inc v. Capital City Bank Group Inc., 637 F.3d 1344, 1351,

98 USPQ2d 1253, 1260 (Fed. Cir. 2011)(Mark CAPITAL CITY BANK for banking services not

confusingly similar to famous mark CITIBANK for banking services particularly due to word CAPITAL,

spelling/meaning and no actual confusion in spite of other factors favoring confusion).

Here, as explained above, where Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY is not famous and in fact is

weak given the many third party users of COWBOY in marks for the same and related goods (whiskey

and wine), Petitioner’s 2(d) claim fails.

VI. PETITIONER’S FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN CLAIM IS NOT TENABLE

Petitioner asserts that Registrant’s mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY is misleading to consumers.

Petition, ¶5. Specifically, Petitioner asserts that “use of the term “California” in Respondent’s mark

falsely suggests that the goods originate from Petitioner, which is also located in California.” This claim

21 | P a g e

cannot stand. The mark, on its face, means CALIFORNIA COWBOY, i.e., a cowboy from California.

There is no credible evidence that the mark is misleading. “California” is only suggesting that the

Cowboy is a Californian, and not the origin of the goods. “California,” as used on the label, does not

identify a place. It is a spirit and to the extent it identifies anything, it identifies where the cowboy is

from. Further, the TTB approved the label. Hoffman Decl., ¶23, Ex. 22 (Registrant’s COLA from TTB).

The TMEP provides as follows:

To establish a prima facie case for refusal to register a mark under the "wines and spirits" provision of §2(a), the following is required:

(1) The primary significance of the relevant term or design is geographic, e.g., a place name, abbreviation, nickname, or symbol; or an outline or map of a geographic area (see TMEP §§1210.02(a)–1210.02(b)(iv));

(2) Purchasers would be likely to think that the goods originate in the geographic place identified in the mark, i.e., purchasers would make a goods/place association (see TMEP §§1210.04–1210.04(d));

(3) The goods do not originate in the place identified in the mark (see TMEP §1210.03);

(4) A purchaser's erroneous belief as to the geographic origin of the goods would materially affect the purchaser's decision to buy the goods (see TMEP §§1210.05(c)–1210.05(c)(ii)); and

(5) The mark was first used in commerce by the applicant on or after January 1, 1996.

TMEP §1210.08(a).

Here, the primary significance of CALIFORNIA COWBOY is not the name of a place. There is

no place alleged to be named CALIFORNIA COWBOY.

Moreover, purchasers viewing the mark would not be likely to think the goods originate in

California given the mark CALIFORNIA COWBOY. The mark merely suggests a toughness and

coolness of a cowboy from California and does not indicate the origin of the goods to a purchaser.

Further, the COLA and label themselves prominently display near the bottom that the whiskey is

bottled in California and distilled in Kentucky. Hoffman Decl., ¶23, Ex. 22.

Last, there is no evidence that it would be material to a purchaser’s decision to buy the goods.

California is not renown for whiskey production. Kentucky and Tennessee are. However, the western

U.S. (of which California is a part) is known for cowboys. See, Dictionary Definitions of COWBOY.

Hoffman Decl., ¶25, Ex. 24.

22 | P a g e

VII. CONCLUSION

In view of the foregoing, and in particular important differences in the marks, many third-party

users of COWBOY for whiskey and wine, Petitioner’s admitted abandonment of its mark, and limited if

any evidence of use thereof, as well as the Western District of Texas decision holding that there was no

likelihood of confusion of the mark COWBOY BOURBON with Petitioner’s alleged mark, granting this

motion for summary judgment is respectfully requested.

DECLARATION OF DAVID L. HOFFMAN

I, David L. Hoffman, do hereby declare:

1. I am an attorney duly admitted to practice before all the courts of the State of California

and I am the attorney of record herein on behalf of Jeffrey Szafarski, the Registrant and moving party.

2. Attached hereto as Exhibit 1 is a true and correct copy of the docket sheet for the case of

Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Case No. 14-CA-1078,

Western District of Texas (“The Texas Litigation”) filed in 2014 by Allied Lomar, Inc., the Petitioner

herein, against Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery (“Lone Star”) for trademark

infringement of Registrant’s trademark registration no. 2,777,811 (“Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration”). I

downloaded the docket sheet from PACER. It shows the parties, the case number, that suit was filed on

July 15, 2014 (see dkt #1), that judgment was entered January 24, 2017 (see dkt #170), that an appeal was

filed on February 22, 2017 (see dkt #179) by Petitioner, and that on August 9, 2018 the district court

Cancellation No. 92073878

Registration No. 5,811,545

Declaration of David L. Hoffman

received a certified copy of the appellate court’s judgment affirming the district court judgment. No

further appeal was taken.

3. Attached hereto as Exhibit 2 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the jury verdict dated January 11, 2017 against Petitioner in The Texas Litigation that there

was no likelihood of confusion between Lone Star’s mark COWBOY BOURBON for bourbon whiskey

and Petitioner’s alleged mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (Question/Answer 1) and that Petitioner had

abandoned its mark in Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration (Question/Answer 2).

4. Attached hereto as Exhibit 3 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the judgment entered January 24, 2017 in The Texas Litigation that Petitioner take nothing

and that Petitioner’s ‘811 Registration is invalid due to abandonment of the mark COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL.

5. Attached hereto as Exhibit 4 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from

PACER of the first amended complaint (FAC) filed February 10, 2015 by Petitioner in The Texas

Litigation. The FAC shows assertion by Petitioner of trademark rights in COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

and COWBOY (e.g., paragraphs 2, 13-14), admission that Petitioner’s rights in COWBOY are asserted

based on the label COWBOY LITTLE BARREL (e.g., paragraph 14 on page 4 and images at top of page

5), admission that Lone Star has been using COWBOY BOURBON for whiskey with an emphasis on

COWBOY (paragraphs 27, 36-39 and 41-46), admission that Lone Star filed a COLA application on

March 5, 2012 for COWBOY BOURBON for whiskey and approved on April 3, 2012 (paragraphs 29-30)

and that Lone Star had its first sale May 10, 2013 (paragraph 34). The First Claim for Relief is for

Trademark Infringement under 15 U.S.C. §1114, et seq. In paragraph 55, Allied Lomar claims the mark

COWBOY as well as COWBOY LITTLE BARREL and claims that Lone Star infringes.

6. Attached hereto as Exhibit 5 is a true and correct copy as downloaded by me from the

Fifth Circuit’s website of the decision on appeal of The Texas Litigation, Allied Lomar,

Incorporated v. Lone Star Distillery, LLC dba Garrison Brothers Distillery, Appeal No. 17-

3 | P a g e

Declaration of David L. Hoffman

50148, United States Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit, July 18, 2018. The decision upholds

the verdict and judgment. Of particular note is footnote 1 (on page 2) where Allied Lomar’s post

abandonment/post lawsuit use would require a ruling on admissibility. Also note that Lone Star

disputed “Palatella’s [Allied Lomar’s principal’s] reliance on a bourbon shortage as a reason for

Allied Lomar’s failure to sell “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon after 2009,” and that

Palatella gave inconsistent testimony (page 3, second to last paragraph).

7. Attached hereto as Exhibit 6 is a true and correct copy of images of the front label of

Lone Star’s COWBOY BOURBON (first two pages), the side panel of the COWBOY BOURBON box

state, California.

10. Attached hereto as Exhibit 9 is a true and correct screenshot I took on August 30, 2020

or other documents evidencing actual sales of any whiskey by Petitioner using the mark COWBOY have

been produced. Petitioner has not produced or disclosed any actual confusion evidence.

19. Attached hereto as Exhibit 18 is a true and correct copy of all of the documents produced

by Petitioner in response to request no. 21 (prices for Petitioner’s whiskey products using alleged marks),

JURISDICTION AND VENUE

8. This Court has subject matter jurisdiction under 15 U.S.C. § 1121 and 28 U.S.C.

§ 1338(a), in that this case arises under the trademark laws of the United States. Specifically,

this is an action for federal trademark infringement arising under Section 32 of the Lanham Act,

15 U.S.C. § 1114 et seq.; and federal law infringement and unfair competition because of false

advertising and false designation of origin under Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C.

§1125(a). The Court has jurisdiction over the subject matter of the related unfair competition

related claims brought under the trademark laws.

9. This Court has personal jurisdiction over Defendants, and venue is proper in this

Judicial District pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1391(b) because, inter alia, (a) Defendants and/or their

giving rise to this lawsuit, as well as substantial injury to Allied, have occurred or will occur in

interstate commerce, in the State of Texas, and in the Western District of Texas as a result of

FACTS

A. Allied’s Registered Trademark

11. Allied owns a valid federally registered trademark in the United States for the

word mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” in International Class 033 for Bourbon Whiskey.

U.S. Registration No. 2777811 was filed on February 8, 2001, and registered on October 28,

2003, with a first use in commerce at least as early as August 31, 1995. [EXHIBIT 1]

12. Allied’s registration for the mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” is valid,

subsisting, and conclusive evidence of the validity of the mark, Allied’s ownership of the mark,

and Allied’s exclusive right to use the mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” in commerce on or

in connection with the goods and services specified therein.

13. Allied uses the “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks in

commerce as a word mark and a stylized logo in its advertising and sale of bourbon and whiskey

and has used the mark in commerce since at least as early as 1995.

14. Allied’s labels for “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon and whiskey

emphasize the word “COWBOY” in commerce in as a word mark and a stylized logo in its

advertising and sale of bourbon and whiskey. For example, Allied’s labels have depicted a

silhouette of a cowboy on a horse above the word “COWBOY.” Below are three images of

Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” mark used on bottles of bourbon and whiskey. These

images are from specimens filed with the USPTO related to U.S. Registration No. 2777811, each

of which shows the word COWBOY in larger sized font above the words LITTLE BARREL:

15. Whiskey is defined in the “Standards of Identity for Distilled Spirits” in the Code

of Federal Regulations on “Labeling and Advertising of Distilled Spirits.” Title 27 CFR, Part 5.

According to Title 27 CFR, Part 5(c), specifically Section 5.22, there are several different

“types” of whiskey, including, “bourbon whisky,” “rye whisky,” “wheat whisky,” “malt

whisky,” “rye malt whisky,” “corn whisky,” “spirit whisky,” “light whisky,” “Scotch whisky,”

“Irish whisky,” and “Canadian whisky.” The word “COWBOY” is not defined in Section 5.22.

The word “COWBOY” does not describe any particular type or attribute of whiskey. Rather,

Allied’s use of the word “COWBOY” as a brand refers consumers and distributors of distilled

spirits to Allied, the owner of the federally registered trademark as the source.

16. Allied has a long history of using the marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL” as an indication of source in marketing and sales of bourbon and whiskey.

As a result, consumers, including distributors, have and will continue to associate the marks

“COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”, when related to distilled spirits, whiskey,

and/or bourbon, with Allied and its federally registered trademark.

17. Allied, while based in California, has offered for sale, advertised, and sold

distilled spirits domestically and internationally for years.

18. Allied has offered for sale, advertised, and sold whiskey under the trade names

“COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” out of its California offices since at least as

early as 1995.

19. Allied has transported in interstate commerce bourbon and whiskey under the

marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” domestically, and advertised,

promoted, and sold bourbon and whiskey under the marks “COWBOY” and “COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL” internationally in foreign commerce from California. Allied’s “COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL” bourbon and whiskey has more than one variety, including Kentucky

bourbon and whiskey. Historically, several types of “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon

and whiskey have been bottled and labeled in Kentucky, shipped via interstate commerce from

Kentucky to California, where Allied stores it in its warehouse before exporting for foreign

distribution.

20. Allied has the right to expand its market into the United States and into the State

of Texas, for Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” branded bourbon and

whiskey based on Allied’s federally registered trademark in the United States, which was

registered prior to Defendants’ unauthorized use.

21. Allied intends to sell bourbon and whiskey under the marks “COWBOY” and

“COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” domestically, including in the State of Texas, in the immediate

future and has been preparing for domestic distribution. Allied has filed for a certificate of label

approval (“COLA”) with the United States Department of the Treasury’s Alcohol and Tobacco

Tax and Trade Bureau (“TTB”) for its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” branded distilled spirits

for sales in the United States. Upon approval of the label, Allied can distribute, advertise,

promote, and sell its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”/“COWBOY” branded bourbon and

whiskey domestically in all fifty states in the United States, including in the State of Texas.

Allied has been working with and will continue to work with distributors to distribute, promote,

advertise, and sell its “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” branded bourbon and

whiskey in the United States, including in the State of Texas.

22. Allied has marketed, promoted and advertised “COWBOY LITTLE

BARREL”/“COWBOY” bourbon and whiskey to distributors of distilled spirits who have

expressed an intent to sell and promote “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL”/“COWBOY” bourbon

and whiskey in the United States, including in the State of Texas, once the TTB approves

Allied’s label.

23. Upon information and belief, distributors are extremely concerned about investing

in, promoting and distributing a brand like Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon

and whiskey while a competitor Lone Star is using a confusingly similar “COWBOY” mark to

sell its competing brand of bourbon or whiskey. The distilled spirits network is a closely knit

industry and Defendants’ sales, promotion, advertising, and intent to continue selling, promoting,

and advertising a confusingly similar “COWBOY BOURBON” product undermines and

compromises Allied’s credibility in the marketplace.

B. Defendants’ Infringing Acts

24. Upon information and belief, Defendants founded the Garrison Brothers Distillery

in 2005. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY BOURBON” mark began at an unknown date and

time, and, upon information and belief, continues today, and will continue into the future if not

enjoined.

25. Upon information and belief, Defendants individually and collectively are

involved in the distilling, distribution, marketing and/or sales of Defendants’ bourbon whiskey

marketed and sold using the unregistered name “COWBOY BOURBON.” Allied is informed

and believes, and upon that basis alleges, Defendants’ advertisement, promotion, and offers for

sale are continuing to the present with the intent to continue into the future if not enjoined.

26. Upon information and belief, Defendants advertise and market their whiskey

through distributors, in their distillery tasting room, online and through their respective websites

and have marketed, sold, and/or distributed their products in at least several states throughout the

United States, including “COWBOY BOURBON,” and have expressed an intent to continue

selling “COWBOY”-branded straight bourbon whiskey in Texas and eventually everywhere in

the United States if not enjoined.

27. Defendants’ use of the mark emphasizes the word “COWBOY” which is in all-

capital letters and large font above the descriptive word “BOURBON.” Defendants’ label also

states “Limited Production Hand Crafted Bourbon.” Below are images of Defendants’

“COWBOY BOURBON” mark in use on bottles of bourbon whiskey.

28. Defendants actively engaged in the illegal and unlawful business of advertising,

distributing, and/or selling a deceptively confusing product line related to distilled spirits, namely

bourbon and whiskey, including use of Allied’s “COWBOY” trademark and trade name, or

imitation thereof. Below is a screenshot of Defendants’ website www.garrisonbros.com as of

June 25, 2014, which prominently features advertisements for “COWBOY BOURBON”

whiskey on the homepage:

29. On March 5, 2012, Defendants filed an application for COLA label approval

through the TTB for the fanciful name “COWBOY BOURBON” for the class/type code

“Straight Bourbon Whisky” for the brand name “Garrison Brothers.”

30. Defendants obtained COLA label approval on or around April 3, 2012. (TTB ID:

120650010000777 attached hereto and incorporated herein as EXHIBIT 2).

31. On February 20, 2012, Defendant filed a trademark application for the mark

“COWBOY BOURBON” in International Class 33 for Whiskey (US Serial No. 85544721). The

application was filed as an “intent-to-use” application under 1(b). Upon information and belief,

Defendants have not filed a Statement of Use or specimen showing use of the mark. Defendants

disclaimed the word “BOURBON,” which is descriptive of the bourbon whiskey product

Defendants sell.

32. On, June 29, 2012, the Trademark Examiner refused registration of Defendants’

applied-for trademark application based a likelihood of confusion with Allied’s federally

registered trademark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” (U.S. Registration No. 2777811). The

Examiner recognized the importance of the word “COWBOY” on both Allied’s and Defendants’

labels, stating, “The term COWBOY is the dominant feature in both of the marks.” Thus,

Defendants and/or their legal representatives have been aware of Allied’s federally registered

trademark for “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” since at least June 29, 2012.

33. As of Jan. 26, 2013, Defendants’ Application Serial No. 85544721 was suspended

for US Serial Nos. Application Serial Nos. 77628779 and 85316043. As of February 9, 2015,

Defendants’ Application Serial No. 85544721 was still suspended based on an August 11, 2014

Report.

34. Allied is informed and believes, and upon that basis alleges, Defendants’ first

sales occurred through a distributor on or around April or May of 2013, about a year after

Defendants obtained COLA label approval, and approximately nine or ten months after

Defendants’ received notice from the USPTO of Allied’s federally registered trademark. (See

e.g., Defendants’ statements on Defendants’ website for “The Cowboy”: “April of 2013 was

bittersweet in Hye, Texas. A distributor’s truck arrived and hauled off an amazing little

bourbon.” and “The Cowboy rode into these towns on Friday, May 10, 2013, and across the state

the next week.” http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy website last visited February 9, 2015.)

35. Defendants have specifically targeted liquor stores, bars, restaurants, hotels and

customers in several states in the United States. Garrison Brothers’ “COWBOY BOURBON”

(a.k.a. “Garrison Brothers COWBOY BOURBON Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey”) is

advertised as a straight bourbon whiskey as a subset of “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight

Bourbon Whiskey.” Defendants have expressed intent to expand its market to sell its

“COWBOY BOURBON,” its other Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey, and every one of its

products everywhere in the United States. Defendants have expressed an intent to continue

selling its “COWBOY BOURBON” in 2015. (See e.g., Defendants’ statements on Defendants’

website for “The Cowboy”: “It won’t be introduced again until 2015.”

http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy website last visited February 9, 2015.)

36. Defendants emphasize the word “COWBOY” in its branding, marketing, and

advertising and on the labels of Defendants’ whiskey products, displaying the word “COWBOY”

in all capital letters and in a large font.

37. Upon information and belief, Defendants use the word “COWBOY” as shorthand

for “COWBOY BOURBON,” which is evidence that the word “COWBOY” is the dominant

portion of Defendants’ mark “COWBOY BOURBON.” Defendants also disclaimed

“BOURBON” as descriptive in their trademark application.

38. Upon information and belief, Defendants emphasize the “COWBOY” word and

imagery on Defendants’ marketing, labels, and website materials. Defendants’ website indicates

that “The Cowboy” was first sold or distributed in April of 2013, and expected to retail at

$159.99 to $169.99. (“The Cowboy” http://www.garrisonbros.com/cowboy last visited February

9, 2015).

39. Upon information and belief, Defendants have advertised, marketed, distributed,

offered to sell and/or sold and continue to advertise, market, distribute, and/or sell its products,

namely whiskey, associated with the deceptively similar “COWBOY” and “COWBOY

BOURBON” marks in interstate commerce in several states including Texas and on the internet

among other locations, including through the following websites www.garrisonbros.com;

https://www.caskers.com/garrison-brothers-texas-straight-bourbon-whiskey/;

http://www.binnys.com/all/garrison; and

http://www.drinkupny.com/SearchResults.asp?Search=Garrison (last visited February 9, 2015).

Defendants have expressed an ongoing intent to continue to advertise, market, distribute, and/or

sell its products namely whiskey, with the deceptively similar “COWBOY” and “COWBOY

BOURBON” marks in interstate commerce, unless enjoined.

40. Further evidence of Defendants’ intent to use the mark in interstate commerce

(i.e., distribute and sell outside the State of Texas) is demonstrated by Defendants’

aforementioned trademark application which was signed by Defendants’ Dan Garrison on

February 16, 2012, and included the representation of a bona fide intent-to-use: “The applicant

has a bona fide intention to use or use through the applicant's related company or licensee the

mark in commerce on or in connection with the identified goods and/or services.” (Serial No.

85544721)

41. Upon information and belief, Defendants’ have used, are currently using, and

have expressed an intent to continue to use of the “COWBOY BOURBON” name and

recognition to promote and exploit the “COWBOY” branding to sell Defendants’ other products,

including bourbon and dry goods, and services, including distillery tasting room visits, to

increase revenues and fame to Defendants and dissipate Allied’s goodwill and opportunity to sell

its own goods under its own registered trademark. For example, the aforementioned

DrinkUpNY website advertises Defendants’ brand “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon

Whiskey” as the “American Micro Whiskey of the Year 2014 – Jim Murray” when, in fact, the

American Micro Whiskey of the Year in the book “Whiskey Bible” by Jim Murray was Garrison

Brother’s sub-brand “COWBOY BOURBON,” which is, upon information and belief, a sub-

brand of “Garrison Brothers Texas Straight Bourbon Whiskey.” This is just one example of

Defendants continued use of the “COWBOY” brand, recognition, and awards to profit and

promote all of Defendants’ goods and services online and throughout the United States to

Allied’s detriment.

42. Defendants and Allied are in the same industry, alcohol and specifically distilled

spirits, and sell the same products, specifically whiskey and bourbon whiskey to through the

same trade channels to the same target customers, including distributors. Because of the three-

tier system of alcohol distribution in the United States, consisting of producers, distributors, and

retailers, both Allied and Defendants must compete against each other to various levels of

consumers. First, Allied and Defendants must sell their competing bourbon and whiskey

products to the first consumers, distributors, in order to get their product distributed to the second

consumers, retailers, and eventually to the end-user consumers. Thus, in this industry, the

distributors are consumers and any likelihood of confusion at the distribution stage of the three-

tier system will cause harm to Allied.

43. Defendants and Allied currently and intend to continue to advertise, distribute,

promote, and sell their alcohol-related products in the same or similar trade channels, including

through distributors to retail store locations specifically tailored to limited production, rare, hand

crafted, craft, small batch, and/or little barrel distilled spirits, namely whiskey and bourbon.

44. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and

other imitations thereof are confusingly similar to Allied’s federally registered “COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL” trademark for bourbon and whiskey.

45. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and

other variations is in direct competition with Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and

“COWBOY” marks for the exact same type of product, whiskey and bourbon.

46. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks and

other variations thereof in the alcohol and distilled spirits industry and related industries has

caused actual confusion and/or is likely to cause confusion as to source, sponsorship, and/or

affiliation in relation to Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks.

47. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks harms

Allied’s goodwill and dilutes Allied’s trademarks, particularly with distilled spirits distributors.

48. Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that Defendants will

continue to use the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks unless enjoined from its

use. Thus, Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks will

continue to harm Allied’s goodwill and will continue to dilute Allied’s mark and trademark

rights unless enjoined.

49. Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that Defendants’ use of the

word “COWBOY” on its bourbon whiskey product has caused and/or will cause Allied

immediate and irreparable harm. Upon information and belief, the distilled beverage market is

comprised of many small manufacturers (Allied and Defendants included), and a small number

of large distributors. Upon information and belief, large distributors are extremely hesitant

and/or completely unwilling to adopt and advertise a small brand if there is a potential of

confusion over the brand’s name with similar and/or competitive products. Upon information

and belief, Allied has been and will continue to be unable to be adopted and marketed by one of

the large distributors because of Defendants’ confusingly similar use of the word “COWBOY”

on distilled spirits. Allied’s expansion from domestic transport and international sales in foreign

trade from California to domestic sales through distributors in the United States is imminent

pending COLA label approval.

50. Allied is informed and believes, and thereon alleges, that unless restrained and

enjoined, Defendants will continue to engage in the acts complained of herein and expand its use

of Allied’s marks and trade name, even after Allied obtains COLA label approval, causing

continued irreparable damage to Allied, including but not limited to loss of goodwill based on

the distributors. Allied’s remedy at law is not adequate to compensate Allied for all the injuries

resulting from Defendants’ actions.

51. Defendants are not affiliated with Allied. Defendants’ use of the “COWBOY”

and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks are not authorized by Allied.

FIRST CLAIM FOR RELIEFTRADEMARK INFRINGEMENT

(15 U.S.C. § 1114 et. seq.)

52. Allied realleges each and every allegation set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 51

inclusive, and incorporates them as though fully set forth herein.

53. As set forth above, Allied is the owner of the federally registered trademark for

the Allied word mark identified above. Allied has used its marks continuously in commerce for

each of its products, including those described above, and said marks identify the goods and

services of Allied, only, and distinguishes those products because of their long use by Allied and

its affiliation with the other partner companies that are authorized to advertise, distribute and/or

sell Allied’s products.

54. Defendants’ activities constitute infringement of Allied’s trademarks in violation

of the Lanham Act, including, but not limited to, 15 U.S.C. § 1114(a).

55. Defendants’ wrongful conduct includes the advertising, distribution and/or sales

of each and every product sold under the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks that

are confusingly similar and almost identical to Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and

“COWBOY” marks. Whether imitation, or confusingly similar and deceptive, the infringing

products that Defendants have and are continuing to create, use, offer, advertise, distribute and/or

sell under the “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON” marks are so similar to genuine

products bearing Allied’s “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks that they

cause actual confusion and/or are likely to cause confusion and mistake as to the source of the

product and/or ownership, sponsorship, or affiliation of Allied’s products, including but not

limited to distributors.

56. On information and belief, and thereon alleged, Defendants have developed,

advertised, marketed, distributed, and/or sold its infringing products with the knowledge of

Allied’s registered trademark and trade name and with the knowledge of Allied’s federally

registered trademark and with the willful and calculated purposes of (a) misleading, deceiving or

confusing customers and the public as to the origin of the infringing products/materials and

(b) trading upon Allied’s business reputation and goodwill. At a minimum, Defendants acted

with knowledge and reckless disregard of Allied’s federally registered and common law

trademarks.

57. As a result of its wrongful conduct, Defendants are liable to Allied for trademark

infringement. Allied has suffered, and will continue to suffer, losses, including, but not limited

to, damage to its business reputation and goodwill. Allied is entitled to recover damages, which

include its losses and continued losses, and all profits Defendants have made and ongoing profits

Defendants will make during this pending action as a result of its wrongful conduct, pursuant to

15 U.S.C. § 1117(b).

58. Allied is also entitled to injunctive relief pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1116(a), as it

has no adequate remedy at law as Defendants continue to develop, advertise and/or sell their

products to the same or similar consumers as Allied as well as through the same channels,

including the Internet and distributors. On information and belief, Allied cannot get into certain

markets because of Defendants’ unauthorized use of confusingly similar marks. On information

and belief and thereon alleged, Defendants may expand their “COWBOY” and “COWBOY

BOURBON” product lines. Lastly, Allied is entitled to injunctive relief as its business

reputation and goodwill will be irreparably harmed if Defendants’ wrongful activities continue

and consumers, including but not limited to distributors, and/or potential consumers and the

public are confused and/or are likely to become further confused, mistaken or deceived as to the

source, origin or authenticity of the infringing materials.

SECOND CLAIM FOR RELIEFFALSE ADVERTISING AND FALSE DESIGNATION OF ORIGIN

AND FEDERAL UNFAIR COMPETITION(15 U.S.C. §§ 1125(a) et seq.)

60. Allied realleges each and every allegation set forth in Paragraphs 1 through 59

inclusive, and incorporates them as though fully set forth herein.

61. Because Allied has advertised, marketed, distributed, and sold its products and

advertises, markets, distributes, and sells its products under the trademarks described in this

Complaint, these trademarks are the means by which Allied’s products and materials are

distinguished from the products and materials of others in the same or related fields.

62. Due to Allied’s long, continuous, and exclusive use of the trademarks, the

“COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” and “COWBOY” marks have come to mean, and are

understood by customers, including distributors, and the public, to signify products and services

and materials of Allied, particularly when used related to spirits, including whiskey and bourbon.

63. Allied has designed and used, and continues to use, its mark, distinctive logos

with the Allied’s name, displays, advertising, and packaging for its products and materials just

for this purpose.

64. Defendants’ wrongful conduct includes the continued use, advertising, marketing,

distribution, and/or sale of products bearing Allied’s marks, as well as Allied’s name, and/or

imitations of said marks that are virtually indistinguishable from Allied’s mark, in connection

with its products.

65. Allied is informed and believes, and upon that basis alleges, that Defendants

engaged in such wrongful conduct with the willful purpose of misleading, deceiving, or

confusing customers and the public as to the origin and authenticity of the products offered,

marketed, distributed, and/or sold in connection with Allied’s marks, name, and imitation visual

materials and design and is and trading upon Allied’s business reputation and goodwill.

66. Defendants’ ongoing and threatened continued conduct constitutes: (a) false

designation of origin, (b) false or misleading description, and (c) false or misleading

representation that the imitation “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” products originate from or are

authorized by Allied, all in violation of section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, set forth at 15 U.S.C.

section 1125(a).

67. Defendants’ wrongful conduct is likely to continue unless restrained and enjoined.

68. As a result of Defendants’ wrongful conduct, Allied has suffered and will

continue to suffer losses, including, but not limited to, sales revenues illegally and unfairly

captured by Defendants, damage to its business reputation, and loss of good will.

69. Allied is entitled to injunctive relief enjoining Defendants’ ongoing wrongful

conduct pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1125(a), and to an order impounding all products or

materials bearing imitation marks being used, offered, advertised, distributed and/or sold by

Defendants.

70. Allied has no adequate remedy at law for Defendants’ wrongful conduct because,

among other reasons: (a) Allied’s marks, names, and designs are unique and valuable property,

which has no readily determinable market value; (b) Defendants’ advertising, marketing,

distribution, and/or sales of imitated marks works a great harm to Allied’s business reputation

and goodwill such that Allied could not be made whole by any monetary award; and (c)

Defendants’ wrongful conduct, and the resulting damage to Allied, is continuing and likely

expanding.

71. Allied is also entitled to recover its attorneys’ fees and costs of suit pursuant to 15

U.S.C. Section 1117, including for Defendants’ ongoing infringing acts.

WHEREFORE, Allied prays for judgment, damages, restitution, seizure, an accounting,

and injunctive relief against Defendants, and each of them, as set forth below.

THIRD CLAIM FOR RELIEF(Constructive Trust Upon Illegal Profits)

72. Allied realleges each and every allegation in Paragraphs 1 through 71, inclusive,

and incorporates them as though fully set forth herein.

73. Defendants’ acts and conduct constitute deceptive, fraudulent, and wrongful

conduct in the nature of passing off their infringing “COWBOY” and “COWBOY BOURBON”

products as those approved by, authorized by, affiliated with, or sponsored by Allied.

74. By virtue of Defendants’ wrongful acts and conduct, Defendants have and will

continue to illegally received money and profits that rightfully belong to Allied, if not enjoined.

75. Allied is also entitled, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1117(a) and 17 U.S.C.

section 504(b), to recover all past profits of Defendants and ongoing profits during this pending

action that are attributable to their acts of infringement of violations thereof.

76. Defendants hold the illegally made profits in the form of money and property as

constructive trustees for the benefit of Allied and will continue to profit in the form of money

and property if not enjoined.

FOURTH CLAIM FOR RELIEF(Accounting)

77. Allied realleges each and every allegation in Paragraphs 1 through 76, inclusive,

and incorporates them as though fully set forth herein.

78. Allied is entitled, pursuant to 15 U.S.C. Section 1117(a) and 17 U.S.C. Section

504(b), to recover all profits of Defendants and ongoing profits during this pending action that

are attributable to their acts of infringement or violations thereof.

79. The amount of money due from Defendants to Allied and continuing to become

due to Allied is unknown to Allied and cannot be ascertained without a detailed accounting by

Defendants of the precise number of infringing materials advertised or offered for distribution

and sold by Defendants.

PRAYER FOR RELIEF

WHEREFORE, ALLIED respectfully requests judgment as follows:

1. That the Court enter a judgment against Defendants, finding that

Defendants have:

a. Willfully infringed and continue to willfully infringe Allied’s

PER CURIAM:*

Plaintiff Allied Lomar, Inc., a California liquor distributor, sued

LITTLE BARREL” for its bourbon whiskey and that Garrison Brothers’ mark

No. 17-50148

2

“COWBOY BOURBON” infringed on that trademark. Accordingly, Allied

asserted, among other things, trademark infringement, and Garrison Brothers

counterclaimed for declaratory judgment findings of non-infringement and

cancellation of Allied’s registration due to abandonment or fraud on the United

States Patent and Trademark Office. A jury returned a verdict finding, among

other things, that Allied abandoned its mark “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL.”1

Allied timely filed a renewed motion for judgment as a matter of law, which

the district court denied. Allied appeals.

We review de novo the district court’s denial of a motion for judgment as

a matter of law.2 “When a case is tried to a jury, a motion for judgment as a

matter of law ‘is a challenge to the legal sufficiency of the evidence supporting

the jury’s verdict.’”3 “‘In resolving such challenges, we draw all reasonable

inferences and resolve all credibility determinations in the light most favorable

to the nonmoving party,’ and will uphold the verdict ‘unless there is no legally

sufficient evidentiary basis for a reasonable jury to find as the jury did.’”4

Under the Lanham Act, a mark shall be deemed abandoned when the

following occurs:

[The mark’s] use has been discontinued with intent not to resume

such use. Intent not to resume may be inferred from

circumstances. Nonuse for 3 consecutive years shall be prima facie

evidence of abandonment. “Use” of a mark means the bona fide use

of such mark made in the ordinary course of trade, and not made

merely to reserve a right in a mark.5

1 The parties’ first trial ended in a mistral when Allied failed to comply with a pretrial

ruling requiring it to “approach the bench, advise of its intention regarding any product

released subsequent to the filing of this lawsuit to obtain a ruling on admissibility prior to

any exposure of the same to the jury.” 2 Omnitech Int’l, Inc. v. Clorox Co., 11 F.3d 1316, 1322–23 (5th Cir. 1994). 3 Cowart v. Erwin, 837 F.3d 444, 450 (5th Cir. 2016) (quoting Heck v. Triche, 775 F.3d

265, 272 (5th Cir. 2014)). 4 Id. (quoting Heck, 775 F.3d at 273). 5 15 U.S.C. § 1127.

EXHIBIT 5 Page 2 of 3

No. 17-50148

3

“The party asserting abandonment must establish that the owner of the mark

both (1) discontinued use of the mark and (2) intended not to resume its use.”6

When the party claiming abandonment provides evidence that the mark has

not been used for three consecutive years, the burden then shifts to the mark

owner to establish that “circumstances do not justify the inference of intent not

to resume use.”7 To rebut the presumption of intent not to resume use, a mark

owner may produce evidence of either actual use or plans to resume use.8

We conclude that a reasonable jury could determine that Allied failed to

rebut the presumption of intent not to resume use. As the district court

observed, the jury fairly rejected the testimony of Allied’s founder, Marci

Palatella, and Allied’s price lists as evidence of intent to resume use. Allied

now claims that a jury could not reasonably disbelieve Palatella’s testimony

because “the facts to which Palatella testified are uncontroverted.” The record

proves otherwise. That is, Garrison Brothers presented evidence undermining

Palatella’s contention that Allied specializes in old, rare, and expensive

whiskeys; disputing Palatella’s reliance on a bourbon shortage as a reason for

Allied’s failure to sell “COWBOY LITTLE BARREL” bourbon after 2009; and

highlighting Palatella’s inconsistent testimony concerning Allied’s price lists.

We therefore decline to overturn the jury’s verdict when Allied’s evidence

amounts to “a vague, subjective intent to resume use of a mark at some

unspecified future date.”9 Because such evidence cannot defeat abandonment,

the jury’s verdict is sound.10

AFFIRMED.

6 Vais Arms, Inc. v. Vais, 383 F.3d 287, 293 (5th Cir. 2004). 7 Exxon Corp. v. Humble Explor. Co., 695 F.2d 96, 99 (5th Cir. 1983). 8 Id. at 102–03. 9 Vais Arms, 383 F.3d at 295 (internal quotation marks omitted). 10 To the extent that the briefing raises additional arguments, we have considered

them and find them without merit.

VINTAGE COWBOY WINERY

SANTA MARGARITA, CALIFORNIA

 

Tasting Room Hours: Saturday & Sunday 11-5 

 

 

Vintage Cowboy Winery was inspired by our family heritage of cowboys,

western lifestyle, and our love for ranching in San Luis Obispo County. We

believe in cowboy values and keeping the western way of life alive. For five

generations the Arnold family has lived and worked on the original ranch land in

Pozo, raising beef cattle, horses, and farming a variety of crops. We planted our

32 acre vineyard in 1995.  The vineyard sits beneath the Santa Lucia Mountain

Range where it benefits from the coastal influence coming through the mountain

passes. The extreme temperature fluctuation during the growing season results

in uniquely flavorful wines.

Petitioner hereby responds to Respondent’s First Set of Requests for Production.

GENERAL OBJECTIONS

1. Petitioner objects to Definition C in its requirement that Petitioner produce documents

in their native format, as well as financial records in Quickbooks format, as disproportionate to the

needs of the case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. With

respect to Quickbooks, the request is also overly broad and unduly burdensome in that it essentially

would require production of all corporate financial records irrespective of the product at issue and

without any time limitation.

2. Petitioner objects to Definition J as disproportionate to the needs of the case and not

reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. It also exceeds the requirements

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.

RESPONSES

REQUEST NO. 1: Documents sufficient to show any and all alleged ownership and/or

exclusive rights by Petitioner in any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s).

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, responsive documents will be produced.

REQUEST NO. 2: Documents sufficient to show Marci Palatella’s interest in and/or

relationship to Petitioner.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as not reasonably

calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. Documents concerning her ownership

interest have no bearing on any issue in this case as she is not a party to this matter. Subject to this

objection, a responsive document will be produced.

REQUEST NO. 3: Documents sufficient to show the relationship, if any, between Domino

Brands, LLC and Allied Lomar, Inc. including any license agreements and/or any ownership

interests.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, Petitioner is unaware of any responsive documents. Its

investigation is continuing.

Congress.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, responsive documents will be produced.

REQUEST NO. 5: All documents comprising, referring or relating to any license,

licensing, assignment and/or grant of any rights by or to Petitioner to anyone else relating to

Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) and/or between Domino Brands, LLC and Allied Lomar, Inc.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, Petitioner has not licensed the mark to third parties so there

are no responsive documents.

REQUEST NO. 6: Documents sufficient to show each source of distribution and/or sales

by Petitioner of any whiskey, bourbon, blended whiskey and/or bourbon whiskey using any of

Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as beyond the scope of

discovery permitted in Board proceedings. See Johnston Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy

American Corp., 10 USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988) (need not reveal names of customers including

dealers).

REQUEST NO. 7: All documents referring or relating to and/or tending to show any

claim of any strength of any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in commerce regulable by the U.S.

Congress.

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate to

the needs of the case in that it requests “all” such documents. Subject to these objections, representative

samples of such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard,

LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4

U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987).

REQUEST NO. 8: All documents referring or relating to any search or evaluation of any

records conducted by or on behalf of Petitioner to determine whether any others have used, had

used and/or sought registration of any mark or designation for any whiskey, blended whiskey,

bourbon and/or bourbon whiskey using and/or incorporating the word COWBOY in commerce

regulable by the U.S. Congress.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, there are no responsive documents.

REQUEST NO. 9: All documents referring or relating to, and/or evidencing the total

volume and/or revenue from any sales from and including 2012 to the present date by Petitioner

and/or any Licensee of Petitioner of whiskey, blended whiskey, bourbon whiskey and/or bourbon

using any mark having COWBOY therein in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate to

the needs of the case and unduly burdensome in that it requests “all” such documents. This would

include every invoice, payment record, production record, and the like. Subject to these objections,

representative samples of such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v.

Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison Corp. v. Perfecta

and all advertising or promotional expenditures incurred in connection with Petitioner’s Alleged

Mark(s) from and including 2012 to the present in the U.S.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as

disproportionate to the needs of the case and unduly burdensome in that it requests “all” such

documents. This would every ad, invoice, etc. Subject to these objections, representative samples of

such documents will be produced. Frito-Lay North America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100

Bison Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987).

REQUEST NO. 11: All documents from and including 2012 to the present evidencing

Petitioner’s intent to continue to use Petitioner’s Alleged Mark COWBOY in commerce

regulable by the U.S. Congress.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unintelligible because

the concept of “intent to continue use” is only relevant in the context of an abandonment claim and no

such claim has been pleaded. Petitioner has used the mark continuously since 2016.

REQUEST No. 12: All documents referring or relating to Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s)

filed with or received in connection with any application to register Registrant’s Alleged Mark

in the U.S. and/or any state in the U.S.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as vague and

unintelligible. Subject to these objections, Petitioner states that it does not have possession of these

documents. They are all available to Respondent on the Patent and Trademark Office’s TSDR web

site.

REQUEST NO. 13: All documents referring or relating to any objection received by

Petitioner from any third-party concerning use, attempted registration, and/or registration of

Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) in the U.S. and/or any state in the U.S.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, responsive documents will be produced.

REQUEST NO. 14. All documents referring or relating to any civil, criminal, and/or

administrative action or proceeding involving Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s), including without

limitation any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any state

or federal court.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to the use of the term “all” as

disproportionate to the needs of the case and not required by the Board. Johnson & Johnson v. Rexall

Drug Co., 186 U.S.P.Q. 167, 172 (TTAB 1975). Petitioner further objects to producing documents

concerning the case of Allied Lomar v. Garrison Bros., to the extent it has those documents, as

disproportionate to the needs of the case and unduly burdensome. Petitioner further objects because

complying with the privilege log requirements would be unduly burdensome and disproportionate to

the needs of the case. As Respondent has pleaded, the registration at issue in that case has been deemed

to have been abandoned so it is not involved in this case; the common law use in this case arose after

the period of abandonment. Petitioner further objects to this request to the extent it seeks records of

this case as disproportionate to the needs of the case, unduly burdensome, and improperly impinging

on the attorney-client and attorney work product privileges. In any event, Petitioner does not have any

of the documents in the Federal Court case or Cancellation no. 92060851. These documents are not

probative of any issue in the current case. The public dockets for these matters are as available to

Respondent as they are to Petitioner, and the burden of downloading them is the same for Petitioner as

it is for Respondent. It is beyond the scope of discovery to require Petitioner to download documents

from the public dockets that are not in its possession.

REQUEST NO. 15. All documents referring or relating to any civil, criminal, and/or

administrative action or proceeding involving Petitioner and/or any of its principals, including

without limitation any proceeding before the United States Patent and Trademark Office, or any

state or federal court.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections and the objections in response to Request 14, it is improper

to use a discovery request on a party seek discovery on an individual or for conduct unrelated to the

mark at issue that was not undertaken on behalf of the corporation. This request has been posed purely

for harassment purposes. As Respondent knows, Petitioner’s owner is a co-defendant in a criminal

action in the Western District of Massachusetts. As counsel for Respondent has been told, if she were

properly served with a discovery subpoena on this subject matter, she would assert her 5th Amendment

right against self-incrimination in response; Respondent is not entitled to discovery in an administrative

case that the government cannot obtain in a criminal case. To the extent that Petitioner seeks documents

on the public docket for the case, the burden of downloading them is the same for Petitioner as it is for

Respondent. It is beyond the scope of discovery to require Petitioner to download documents from the

public dockets that are not in its possession.

REQUEST NO. 16: All documents referring or relating to any fraud and/or dishonesty

of Petitioner and/or any of its principals.

conduct.

REQUEST NO. 17: All documents comprising, referring or relating to Petitioner’s

document retention policies.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, there are no responsive documents.

REQUEST NO. 18: All documents referring or relating to purchasers of any whiskey,

bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey sold (in commerce regulable by the U.S.

Congress) using Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) from and including 2012 to the present date,

including but not limited to all orders, shipping documents, packing slips, invoices, purchase

orders, and/or correspondence related to same.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unduly burdensome

and disproportionate to the needs of the case in its request for “all” documents. Frito-Lay North

America Inc. v. Princeton Vanguard, LLC, 100 U.S.P.Q.2d 1904, 1910 (TTAB 2011); cf. Bison

Corp. v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner also objects to

this request as impermissible discovery to the extent it is requesting information about individual

retailers or purchasers. See Johnston Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy American Corp., 10

USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988) (need not reveal names of customers including dealers). Subject

to these objections, Petitioner will produce invoices demonstrating such sales.

REQUEST NO. 19; All documents referring or relating to any reports of sales and/or any

royalties paid to Petitioner for any whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey

using any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s), where such sales and/or royalties relate to any

mark having COWBOY therein for whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey

since and including 2010.

RESPONSE

See response to Request no. 14.

REQUEST NO. 21: All documents referring or relating to the prices charged by Petitioner

for any whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey for sale in any commerce

regulable by the U.S. Congress using any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) since and including

2017.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as unduly burdensome

and disproportionate to the needs of the case in its request for “all” documents. Petitioner also objects

because the wholesale price of the goods is not relevant to any issue in the case and is beyond the scope

of discovery in these proceedings. Subject to these Objections, responsive documents showing the

retail price will be produced.

REQUEST NO. 22: All documents referring or relating to manufacture and/or purchases

by Petitioner of goods and/or bottling and/or materials for selling (in commerce regulable by the

U.S. Congress) Petitioner’s whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey using

Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s).

objects because the wholesale price of the goods is not relevant to any issue in the case and is beyond

the scope of discovery in these proceedings.

bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey that were sold in any commerce regulable

v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner further objects to the

request for the personal address of Ms. Palatella and other principals as beyond the scope of discovery

and as being imposed solely for harassment. Their business addresses were disclosed in the Initial

undersigned counsel. Subject to these objections, documents sufficient to show the address of allied

Lomar and Domino Brands will be produced.

v. Perfecta Chemie B.V., 4 U.S.P.Q.2d 1718, 1720 (TTAB 1987). Petitioner also objects because

information regarding retailers is beyond the scope of discovery in Board proceedings. See Johnston

Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy American Corp., 10 U.S.P.Q.2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988).

Subject to these objections, representative samples of on-line retailers will be produced.

We've been fortunate to work with some great vendors over the years. With the current COVID situation canceling large events, onesuch vendor has been le with an overstock of diverse liquors. They've passed their savings on to us, and we're passing them on to

you with this unique page of products. 

Please note that due to the significantly discounted prices, these products are not eligible for free shipping.  Our other Spirits & Spice

______________________________________)

Petitioner hereby responds to Respondent’s First Set of Interrogatories.

GENERAL OBJECTIONS

1. Petitioner objects to Definition C in its requirement that Petitioner produce documents

in their native format, as well as financial records in Quickbooks format, as disproportionate to the

needs of the case and not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence. With

respect to Quickbooks, the request is also overly broad and unduly burdensome in that it essentially

would require production of all corporate financial records irrespective of the product at issue and

without any time limitation.

RESPONSES

1. Identify all owners and officers of Petitioner ALLIED LOMAR, INC. and DOMINO

BRANDS, LLC.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections, this information will be provided.

2. Identify all owners and licensees of any trademark rights and/or rights in trademark

registrations and/or applications claimed by Petitioner in any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s)

and the date on which such owner or licensee obtained such rights, including but not limited to

for the following applications and/or common law rights:

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections:

U.S. Registration No. 2,777,811 – Domino Brands, LLC; 02/09/18

U.S. Application No. 86/336,251 – Domino Brands, LLC; 02/09/18

Allied Lomar is the exclusive distributor and marketing agent for Domino Brands, LLC.

3. Identify each product including but not limited to each whiskey, bourbon, bourbon

whiskey and/or blended whiskey that Petitioner contends it has used in commerce regulable by

the U.S. Congress any of Petitioner’s Alleged Mark(s) on from and including 2012 to the present

date.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections: whiskey.

4. For each product identified in response to Interrogatory No. 3, identify all dates of sale in

commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress, the purchaser, the location of the purchaser, the type

of product, and the manner in which the trademark(s) thereon, and the manner in which any

such trademark was placed on the product and/or packaging and/or was otherwise used with

respect to each product that was sold.

RESPONSE

Petitioner objects to this interrogatory because requesting the name of specific purchasers is

beyond the scope of permissible discovery. See Johnston Pump/General Valve Inc. v. Chromalloy

American Corp., 10 USPQ2d 1671, 1675 (TTAB 1988). Subject to this objection and the General

Objections, Petitioner will respond to this interrogatory by producing invoices that provide the

requested information. The trademark was used on the front label of the product.

5. For each such product identified in response to interrogatory no. 3, state the date of first

sale in commerce regulable by the U.S. Congress of the product, starting in 2012 and/or

thereafter.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections: 09/29/16.

6. For each request in Respondent/Registrant’s requests for production, identify each

responsive document by Bates number, and if no bates number is used, identify each responsive

document by title, date, number of pages and subject matter sufficient to uniquely identify each

such document.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this request as disproportionate,

unreasonable and unduly burdensome busy work, and far beyond the requirements of the Federal Rules

of Civil Procedure. Petitioner will organize the documents in such a way that it is clear which

document is responsive to which request.

7. For each product identified in response to interrogatory no. 3, state any calendar years

that such product was not sold or offered for sale by Petitioner in commerce regulable by the

U.S. Congress.

RESPONSE

Subject to the General Objections: none since 2016.

8. Explain any bases Petitioner has for claiming common law trademark rights in

COWBOY for any whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or blended whiskey in spite of prior

users and registrants of marks using COWBOY for whiskey, bourbon, bourbon whiskey and/or

blended whiskey.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this interrogatory as argumentative.

Subject to these objections, common law rights exist because Petitioner used the mark in commerce.

9. Identify any criminal indictments and/or civil actions against Petitioner and/or any of

Petitioner’s principals including but not limited to Marci Palatella for fraud, dishonesty, and/or

any other crimes and/or torts involving dishonesty.

RESPONSE

In addition to the General Objections, Petitioner objects to this interrogatory as not reasonably

calculated to lead to the development of admissible evidence and as propounded solely for purposes of

harassment. As Counsel for Respondent is fully aware, Ms. Palatella is a co-defendant in 1-19-cr-10080

(D. Mass). As he was told during the pre-discovery conference, Ms. Palatella’s private life is not

relevant to resolving this trademark dispute and she would assert her 5th Amendment right against self-

incrimination in refusing to respond to any questions on this subject. Although opposing counsel

asserted that this information is relevant to assessing her credibility, the fact that she is involved in a

criminal proceeding does not adversely affect her credibility because of the presumption of innocence.

Moreover, the needs of an administrative proceeding do not trump the 5th Amendment.

In any event, evidence of an indictment may not be used to impeach a witness. Brown v.

Coating Specialists, Inc., 465 F.2d 340, 341 (5th Cir. 1972) (“[A] witness who was under indictment .

. . could not be impeached by evidence of the pending indictment.”); Jenkins v. Gen. Motors Corp.,

446 F.2d 377 (5th Cir. 1971), cert. denied, 405 U.S. 922 (1972); United States v. Baker, 494 F.2d 1262,

1266 (6th Cir. 1974) (a witness’ credibility generally cannot be impeached by showing arrest,

indictments or other acts of misconduct not resulting in a conviction); Steinhouse v. W.C.A.B. (A.P.

Green Servs.), 783 A.2d 352, 356 (Pa. Commw. Ct. 2001) (“[A]s a general rule, prior bad acts not

resulting in a conviction are not admissible to impeach a witness’ credibility.”) (quoting

Commonwealth v. Smith, 467 A.2d 1120, 1125–26 (Pa. 1983)); George S. May Int’l Co. v. Int’l Profit

In the Matter of Trademark Registration No. 2777811

For the mark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

Dates registered: October 28, 2003

LONE STAR DISTRIBUTING, LLC, §Petitioner, §

§v. § Cancellation No.

§ALLIED LOMAR, INC., §

Respondent. §

PETITION TO CANCEL

TO THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD:

Petitioner Lone Star Distillery, LLC d/b/a Garrison Brothers Distillery, a Texas limited

liability company with its business address at 517 West 39th Street, Austin, TX 78751, believes

that it is being damaged and will continue to be damaged by the above-identified registration,

and hereby petitions to cancel this registration. As grounds for cancellation, Petitioner alleges

as follows:

1. According to the records of the Patent and Trademark Office, the name and address of the

current owner of the trademark registration for the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark, No.

No. 2777811, is Allied Lomar, Inc., 401 California Drive Burlingame, CA 94010.

I. Standing of Petitioner

2. Petitioner has a pending trademark application for the mark COWBOY BOURBON. The

Examiner cited the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration owned by Allied Lomar, Inc.

against Petitioner’s application for COWBOY BOURBON, finding that there was a likelihood

EXHIBIT 25 Page 3 of 5

2

of confusion. The Examiner then suspended examination of the COWBOY BOURBON

application. Petitioner strongly disagrees that there is a likelihood of confusion between the

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration and Petitioner’s COWBOY BOURBON mark.

Moreover, Petitioner believes that the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration is invalid and

should be cancelled, because the registration has been abandoned through non-use and/or

because the owner of the mark committed fraud on the Trademark Office in connection with

this registration.

II. First Basis for Cancellation - Abandonment

3. Allied Lomar, Inc. obtained the registration for COWBOY LITTLE BARREL in 2003,

despite the fact that Allied Lomar, Inc. has never legally sold or distributed the goods upon

which the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL registration is based, anywhere in the United States.

Allied Lomar, Inc. apparently exported goods to one or more foreign countries under the

COWBOY LITTLE BARREL at one time, but, upon information and belief, it ceased this

activity and did not use the mark (and cannot show excusable nonuse) for at least 3 consecutive

years, thereby abandoning the registration within the meaning of 15 U.S.C. §1127.

III. Fraud on the Trademark Office

4. Despite the apparent non-use and abandonment of the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL

mark, Allied Lomar, Inc. filed a Section 8&15 declaration in 2009, alleging continuous use of

the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark in interstate commerce and then filed for renewal of the

mark in 2013, once again declaring under oath that it had continuously used the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark in interstate commerce. Upon information and belief, one or both of

these declarations were false, because Allied Lomar, Inc. was not continuously selling or

otherwise distributing the recited goods in interstate commerce under the COWBOY LITTLE

EXHIBIT 25 Page 4 of 5

3

BARREL mark. Upon information and belief, Allied Lomar knowingly made these false

statements to induce the Trademark Office to continue the registration for the COWBOY

LITTLE BARREL mark, and the Trademark Office relied on these false statements in

continuing the registration for the COWBOY LITTLE BARREL mark.

WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this Petition to Cancel be sustained,

that Respondent’s registration be cancelled, and that Petitioner be granted such other and further

relief to which it may be entitled. This Petition to Cancel is submitted electronically and the

undersigned hereby authorizes the payment of all required filing fees or any other fees due from

Deposit Account No. 071892.

Response to the TTAB Status Update Request

Dated October 18, 2019

TO THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD:

Petitioner Lone Star Distributing, d/b/a Garrison Brothers Distillery, files this response to

the request to inform the Board of the status of the civil action which occasioned the suspension

of this proceeding dated October 18, 2019.

1. This is a proceeding filed by Petitioner Lone Star Distributing, LLC, to cancel the

Respondent’s registration of the trademark COWBOY LITTLE BARREL, Registration

No. 2777811 (“the Registration”).

2. This proceeding was suspended because the Registration was the subject of

federal litigation between the Petitioner and Respondent, Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone Star

Distributing, Case No. 1:14-CV-01078-SS, W.D. Texas, Austin Division (“the Litigation”).

3. Petitioner prevailed in the Litigation. The Jury found that Respondent had

abandoned the trademark on which the Registration is based and the District Court entered an

order that the Registration be cancelled.

4. Respondent appealed the judgment in the Litigation. The judgment was affirmed

in all respects by the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals on July 18, 2018. Allied Lomar, Inc. v. Lone

Star Distillery, LLC, 731 Fed. Appx. 367 (5th

Cir. 2018). The time to file a petition for certiorari

from the Fifth Circuit’s judgment expired ninety days later, on October 17, 2018. Sup. Ct. R. 13.

Respondent did not seek further review, so the judgment in the Litigation is final.

5. Because the civil action that was the reason for suspension has been resolved, the

Board should lift the suspension and proceed with this cancellation proceeding.

6. Respondent’s suggestion that “there is no need to resume the present action and it

should be dismissed with prejudice” is entirely incorrect. Respondent is subject to a final,

unappealable judgment cancelling the Registration, so the Board should proceed to cancel

Registration No. 2777811.

Respectfully submitted,

In response to the Board’s Order of November 14, 2019, Respondent states as follows:

Petitioner pleaded two grounds for cancellation: abandonment and fraud. The Board’s

judgment should reflect the jury verdict, namely, that the jury found and the Court affirmed that the

mark had been abandoned and that there was no likelihood of confusion. Given the reputational injury

of a fraud claim, the Board’s should expressly state that it is not granting judgment on the fraud claim

because that was not litigated in the Federal Court case.

CORRESPONDENT’S REFERENCE/DOCKET NO :  

       N/A

CORRESPONDENT E-MAIL ADDRESS: 

       [email protected]

 

 

OFFICE ACTION 

STRICT DEADLINE TO RESPOND TO THIS LETTER

TO AVOID ABANDONMENT OF APPLICANT’S TRADEMARK APPLICATION, THE USPTO MUST RECEIVE APPLICANT’S

COMPLETE RESPONSE TO THIS LETTER WITHIN 6 MONTHS OF THE ISSUE/MAILING DATE BELOW.

 

ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 8/18/2014

 

The referenced application has been reviewed by the assigned trademark examining attorney.  Applicant must respond timely and completely to

the issue(s) below.  15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §§2.62(a), 2.65(a); TMEP §§711, 718.03.

 

PRIOR-FILED APPLICATIONS

The filing date of pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 85316043 and 85544721 precedes applicant’s filing date.  See attached referenced

application.  Specifically, in regard to the cited application for PANIOLO (Ser. No. 85316043), the marks are foreign equivalents and are, or will

be used with closely related goods.  In regard to the cited application for COWBOY BOURBON (Ser. No. 85544721), as the wording “bourbon”

in the prior pending application is the generic name for the associated goods, the dominant element of is COWBOY which is identical to the

applied-for mark.  Furthermore, applicant’s goods are closely related to the goods in the cited application for COWBOY BOURBON (Ser. No.

85544721).  If the mark in the referenced applications registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d)

because of a likelihood of confusion between the two marks.  See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.  Therefore, upon

receipt of applicant’s response to this Office action, action on this application may be suspended pending final disposition of the earlier-filed

referenced application.

 

In response to this Office action, applicant may present arguments in support of registration by addressing the issue of the potential conflict

between applicant’s mark and the mark in the referenced application.  Applicant’s election not to submit arguments at this time in no way limits

EXHIBIT 31 Page 1 of 9

applicant’s right to address this issue later if a refusal under Section 2(d) issues.

 

CLAIM OF OWNERSHIP OF REGISTRATION

If applicant owns U.S. Registration No. 2777811, then applicant must submit for the application record a claim of ownership of this registration. 

See 37 C.F.R. §2.36; TMEP §812.  See the attached copy of the registration.  See TMEP §812. 

 

Applicant may use the following format to claim ownership of the registration:

 

Applicant is the owner of U.S. Registration No. 2777811.

 

RESPONSE GUIDELINES

To expedite prosecution of the application, applicant is encouraged to file its response to this Office action online via the Trademark Electronic

Application System (TEAS), which is available at http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/index.jsp.  If applicant has technical questions about the

TEAS response to Office action form, applicant can review the electronic filing tips available online at

http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/teas/e_filing_tips.jsp and email technical questions to [email protected].

 

If applicant has questions regarding this Office action, please telephone or e-mail the assigned trademark examining attorney.  All relevant e-mail

communications will be placed in the official application record; however, an e-mail communication will not be accepted as a response to this

Office action and will not extend the deadline for filing a proper response.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.191; TMEP §§304.01-.02, 709.04-.05.  Further,

although the trademark examining attorney may provide additional explanation pertaining to the refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) in this Office

action, the trademark examining attorney may not provide legal advice or statements about applicant’s rights.   See TMEP §§705.02, 709.06.

Declaration of Jeffrey Szafarski

IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE

BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD

_______________________________________________

Allied Lomar, Inc.,

Petitioner,

v.

Jeffrey Szafarski,

Registrant.

__________________________________

DECLARATION OF JEFFREY SZAFARSKI

I, Jeffrey Szafarski, do hereby declare:

1. I am the Registrant and moving party in the subject cancellation proceeding.

2. I have been selling my CALIFORNIA COWBOY whiskey now for about one and a half

years. Several of the retail stores (online and brick and mortar) that sell CALIFORNIA COWBOY also

sell COWBOY LITTLE BARREL whiskey (and Petitioner’s alleged COWBOY brand). There has been

no actual confusion that I am aware of and no one has reported any actual confusion to me.

3. I have been in the business of having alcohol made and selling it since at least as early as

2016. I have also been a consumer of whiskey for at least the last ten years. Any alleged marks of

Petitioner COWBOY and COWBOY LITTLE BARREL are not famous.

4. Attached hereto as Exhibit A is a true and correct copy of photos of the front and rear

labels of GRIFF’S COWBOY WHISKEY (first and second pages) made by Griffin Ranch Micro

Cancellation No. 92073878

Registration No. 5,811,545
