Opposition No. 91252016

OPPOSER’S (I) RESPONSE TO APPLICANT’S MOTION TO COMPEL AND (II)

OPPOSER’S MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

INTRODUCTION

Opposer, RLP Ventures, LLC (“Opposer”), hereby responds to the motion to compel

filed by Mosaic Learning, Inc. (“Applicant”) on August 22, 2020. The motion is fundamentally

flawed because the discovery requests (namely, the interrogatories and production requests) were

responded to in accordance with the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual of Procedure

(“TBMP”) and the cases related thereto.

Opposer opposes the motion to compel on the grounds that (i) the Applicant did not

provide the Board with an accurate statement of the facts in the motion to compel; (ii) the

Applicant failed to meet and confer in good faith and (iii) the Opposer complied with its

obligations during discovery and has responded to Applicant’s discovery requests in accordance

with the TBMP as well as the cases related thereto. Thus, Applicant’s motion to compel should

be denied.

Page 3: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

Separately, Opposer moves for a protective order from the Board pursuant to Rule 26(c)

of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure concerning Applicant’s First Set of Interrogatories and

Applicant’s First Set of Request for Production of Documents & Things.

As described below, Applicant has asked for a variety of discovery requests that are

excessive, unnecessary, unduly burdensome and overbroad categories of documents and

information, many of which exceed the scope of discoverable information for this opposition

proceeding and clearly are meant to harass and financially tax the Opposer, which is a small

limited liability company. Moreover, the total of all interrogatories and document requests, including

discrete subparts, appears to exceed 75.

Opposer seeks an order precluding the excessive discovery sought, or modifying the

scope of the discovery requests to that which is related to the matters that are the subject of the

opposition proceeding as well as an order denying the motion to compel. In support of thereof,

Opposer states as follows:

BACKGROUND

The relevant facts are set forth in the Notice of Opposition dated November 2, 2019, as

supplemented by the First Amended Notice of Opposition dated August 24, 2020, and the

Declaration of Ramona Prioleau (“Prioleau Decl.”), attached hereto as Attachment A. However,

for the Board’s convenience, a brief recitation of the facts is repeated here.

The Opposer

The Opposer is the owner and operator of an entity that uses the trademark

“MOSAEC”. The MOSAEC platform is a commerce, content, entertainment, advertising,

technology and social media ecosystem that spotlights film, music, art, theater, dance, literature,

fashion, sports and locales. In addition, via the MOSAEC platform, the Opposer distributes

consumer goods, buys and sells advertising, and seeks funding from individuals, corporations

2

Page 4: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

and governments. It has also been used to advance personal, educational, and career goals. The

use of the MOSAEC mark commenced as early as September 1998. See Prioleau Decl. ¶¶ 5-9.

The Applicant’s Application

Pursuant to Section 1(a) of the Lanham Act, on Aug. 13, 2018, Applicant filed the

Application with the United States Patent and Trademark Office to register Applicant’s Mark on

the Principal Register, which was published for opposition on September 3, 2019 for the

following services (“Applicant’s Services”):

“business advisory services in the field of development, education and training programs

and methodologies” in Class 35;

“educational services, namely, developing customized curriculum and course material in

connection therewith, for others; consulting services in the development and

implementation of customized curriculum and course material in connection therewith,

for others” in Class 41; and

“development of software for others, namely, non-downloadable software used to

manage their proprietary digital content; downloadable software provided as a service,

namely, non-downloadable software used to manage proprietary digital content” in Class

42.

Notice of Opposition

Opposer’s original notice of opposition pleaded (i) priority and (ii) likelihood of

confusion under § 2(d) of the Lanham Act as the statutory basis for opposition, among other

matters. 1 TTABVUE.

On December 9, 2019, Applicant filed an answer to the Notice of Opposition, denying

Opposer’s claims.

On August 24, 2020, Opposer filed a motion for leave to file a First Amended Notice of

Opposition (as attached thereto) in this proceeding, alleging (i) priority; (ii) likelihood of

confusion and (iii) Applicant lacked a bona fide use in commerce of Applicant’s Mark on each of

the recited services. (See TTABVUE 8). The motion to amend is still pending.

Page 5: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

Discovery

Discovery opened on January 13, 2020, and closed on July 11, 2018. See TTABVUE 2.

Opposer served written first requests on Applicant on June 11, 2020. Similarly, Applicant, in

served written first requests on Opposer on June 11, 2020.

Initial Disclosures: On February 11, 2020, Opposer served its initial disclosures. On

February 11, 2020, Applicant served its initial disclosures.

Opposer’s Interrogatories, Requests for Documents and Requests for Admissions: On

June 11, 2020, Opposer served its First Set of Interrogatories, First Set of Documents Requests

and First Set of Requests for Admission on Applicant.

Applicant’s Interrogatories and Requests for Documents: On June 11, 2020, Applicant

served its First Set of Interrogatories, First Set of Documents Requests and First Set of Requests

for Admission on Opposer.

On July 11, 2020, Opposer objected to Applicant’s excessive discovery requests in

accordance with the TBMP.

Discovery closed on July 11, 2020.

On July 14, 2020, Applicant served upon Opposer amended discovery requests – three

days after the close of discovery.

On August 13, 2020, Opposer objected to Applicant’s late revised discovery requests in

accordance with the TBMP.

On August 22, 2020, Applicant filed a motion to compel (See TTABVUE 7).

On August 24, 2020, Opposer filed a Motion for Leave to File an Amended Notice of

Opposition (See TTABVUE 8).

4

Page 6: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

Prior to the filing of the instant motion to compel, Applicant did not attempt to meet and

confer with the Opposer.

Applicant could have easily avoided the time and expense of these motions by meeting

and conferring with Opposer. Instead of taking that simple step to attempt to resolve these issues,

the Applicant filed this motion, upending established processes that the Board mandates to avoid

needless motion practice.

ARGUMENT

A motion to compel may be filed when a party fails to produce requested documents or

responses. See, e.g., 37 C.F.R. 2.120(e)(1). If the non-moving party cannot show that neglect of

its discovery obligations was excusable, the Board generally should order that discovery

responses be provided without objection. See No Fear, Inc. v. Rule, 54 USPQ2d 1551, 1554

(TTAB 2000).

Here, Opposer has not neglected its discovery obligations. In fact, not only has Opposer

objected to Applicant’s discovery requests in accordance with the TBMP, Opposer provided

Applicant’s attorney the sections of the TBMP that governs objections related to excessive

requests. See the Opposer’s analysis of Applicant’s excessive requests Prioleau Decl. Exs Q &R.

Despite Opposer having met its obligations under the TBMP, Applicant filed a motion to

compel seemingly in bad faith, for the purpose of delay, as well as to overburden, harass and

financially tax the Opposer with vexatious litigation practice.

In addition, Applicant’s claims that Opposer failed to meet its discovery obligations

should be considered in light of Applicant’s misleading statements that Opposer failed to confer

in good faith.

Applicant’s First Set of Requests for Production of Documents and Things to Opposer

Applicant’s First Set of Interrogatories to Opposer: TBMP § 405.03(e) and TBMP § 406.05(e) instructs

5

Page 7: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

a party receiving excessive interrogatories and requests for the production of documents, respectively, to

withhold responding to any propounded request.

Specifically, TBMP § 405.03(b) and TBMP § 406.05(b), respectively, provide that the total

number of interrogatories and requests for production of documents that a party may serve on another

party over the course of an entire proceeding, not just per set of discovery requests, cannot exceed 75

(emphasis added). Thus, pursuant to the rules, if two or more separate sets of discovery requests are

served over the course of the proceeding, the discovery requests in the separate sets would be added

together for purposes of determining whether the numerical limit specified in the rules have been

exceeded. See Baron Phillippe De Rothschild S.A. v. S. Rothschild & Co., 16 USPQ2d 1466, 1467

(TTAB 1990) (interrogatories); See also, Kellogg Co. v. Nugget Distributors’ Cooperative of America

Inc., 16 U.S.P.Q.2d 1468 (TTAB), wherein the Board held:

In determining whether a set of interrogatories exceeds this limit, each subdivision of separate

questions, whether set forth as a numbered or lettered subpart, or as a compound question or a

conjunctive question, is counted as a separate interrogatory. Kellogg, 16 U.S.P.Q.2d at 1469.

Here, Opposer counted the First Set of Interrogatories and Second Set of Interrogatories together

as well as First Set of Document Requests and Second Set of Document Requests together. As a result,

the Opposer found that Applicant propounded over 75 interrogatories and document requests. See

Prioleau Decl. Exs Q & R.

Applicant’s Bad Faith in Filing a Motion to Compel.

Applicant’s claim that Opposer has not responded to Applicant’s discovery requests are

insincere. Opposer objected to discovery requests in accordance with the TBMP, providing the

sections of the TBMP that governs objections related to excessive requests.

Even with its motions, though, Applicant has failed to follow the rules. Before a party

may move for sanctions or to compel, it must confer with the adverse party in good faith in an

effort to resolve (or at least narrow) the dispute. See 37 CFR § 2.120(f)(1); Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)

(1), (d)(1)(B). Applicant offers no certification of good faith consultation here because it did not

6

Page 8: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

even try to provide a reasoned analysis of the discovery requests to the Opposer. Rather,

Applicant’s approach was (and continues to be) that any concerns Opposer raised are invalid and

that absent full compliance, Applicant would seek Board relief.

Applicant’s allegations signify nothing and are mere cover for its decision to fail to meet

and confer. Based on the TBMP, Opposer’s objection to Applicant’s discovery requests were

per se proper, meaning Opposer objected in accordance with the TBMP. Thus, there is no basis

for granting Applicant’s request for sanctions or entering an order compelling Opposer to

respond to Applicant’s interrogatories or production requests cause of Applicant’s negligent

disregard of the TBMP and the case law related thereto.

Applicant’s raising of issues related to the document requests in the instant motion to

compel is in bad faith as the Applicant has not complied with the requirements of TBMP

§523.02, requiring that

the motion to compel be supported by a written statement from the moving party that

such party or its attorney has made a good faith effort, by conference or correspondence,

to resolve with the other party or its attorney the issues presented in the motion, and has

been unable to reach agreement.

As such, the motion to compel with respect to Opposer’s objections to said discovery is

procedurally deficient and should be given no consideration.

Applicant Failed to Meet and Confer in Good Faith as Required by the Rules

Applicant’s motion separately fails because Applicant failed to confer with Opposer

in good faith in advance about the issues on which it moves. Cf. Fed. R. Civ. P. 37(a)(1), (d)(1)

(B) (a motion to compel discovery or for sanctions based on a failure to respond to discovery

requests “must include a certification that the movant has in good faith conferred or attempted to

confer” with the party that allegedly failed to act); cf. also 37 CFR § 2.120(f)(1). Here, the

Opposer has not failed to act and the Applicant failed to confer in good faith. In accordance with

the TBMP, Opposer objected to Applicant’s discovery requests.

7

Page 9: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

MOTION FOR PROTECTIVE ORDER

Pursuant to 37 CPR § 2.120(f), “the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board may make any

order which justice requires to protect a party from annoyance, embarrassment, oppression, or

undue burden or expense, including one or more of the types of orders provided by clauses (1)

through (8), inclusive, of Rule 26( c) of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure.”

The TBMP explains that a party may seek a protective order when the adverse party

serves a clearly unreasonable number of requests for production. TBMP 410 provides that in

cases where a request for discovery constitutes clear harassment – for example, when a clearly

unreasonable number of requests for production or interrogatories are served – the party on

which the request was served may properly respond to it by filing a motion for a protective order

that the discovery not be had, or be had only on specified terms and conditions.

Applicant seeming use of the motion to compel as a means to overburden, harass and

financially tax the Opposer with vexatious litigation practice, necessitates Opposer’s seeking,

pursuant to 37 CFR § 2. 120(f), a protective order relieving Opposer of any obligation to provide

any additional responses to Applicant’s discovery requests given that Opposer has provided

substantive responses and objections to date in accordance with the TBMP and cases related

thereto.

Moreover, depending on the subject matter, the exhibits to the Prioleau Declaration

provide substantial supporting documentary evidence that clearly demonstrate Opposer’s

superior rights in the opposition proceeding.

CONCLUSION

Opposer urges the Board to reject the motion to compel. Separately, for the reasons stated

herein, the Board should issue an order granting Opposer the motion for protective order.

Declaration of Ramona Prioleau

I, Ramona Prioleau, declare under penalty of perjury as follows:

1 I am over the age of eighteen and competent to make this Declaration.

2 The facts stated in this Declaration are within my personal knowledge are true.

3 I am the founder and representative of Opposer (RLP Ventures, LLC), who, in the

above referenced trademark opposition proceeding, is opposing registration of the mark

MOSAIC LEARNING in International Classes 35, 41 and 42 (the “Applicant’s Mark”). In my

position, I am authorized to assert to and confirm the activities and beliefs of Opposer.

4 I verify that Opposer is the owner and operator of an entity using the trademark

“MOSAEC” (“Opposer’s Mark”).

5 Opposer offers the

5.a Class 41 services identified in USPTO electronic records (TSDR) for U.S.

Registration No. 5,409,856 (See Exhibit A (RLP 1-5)); and

5.b Class 42 services identi�ied in USPTO electronic records (TSDR) for U.S.

Registration No. 5,284,032 (SeeExhibitB(RLP6-9)).

Page 14: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

6 In addition, since 1999, Opposer has used Opposer’s Mark for the following

services – “Advisory services in the field of development, education and training” in Class 35.

7 The MOSAEC mark is used only with the permission and under the control of

Opposer. The Opposer also uses and/or licenses the use of Opposer’s Mark.

8 The MOSAEC entity was and continues to be targeted to users interested in Class

35, 41 and 42 services.

9 The use of the MOSAEC mark commenced as early as September 1998.

10 I, on behalf of Opposer, developed the concept for the MOSAEC platform during

the period 1996 – 1998, including classes with publishing executives. Initially, the concept began

in paper form and transitioned to a digital format with a “beta” platform. Aspects of the business

plan and source code for the platform were developed by me, acting on behalf of Opposer,

during courses at New York University and other schools during the period 1996-1999.

11 Opposer first released the platform in a “beta” form during the fall of 1998. The

beta version of the site was used to recruit talent, seek funding as well as sell ads. The “alpha”

version of the platform was launched in the spring of 1999. Since its launch, the MOSAEC

platform has been used throughout the United States and internationally with users engaging

with its content and purchasing its consumer goods.

12 On behalf of Opposer, I assert that the Opposer is located in New York.

13 On August 13, 2018, Applicant filed a use-based (Section 1(a)) application with

the United States Patent and Trademark Office for the MOSAIC LEARNING mark

(“Applicant’s Mark”) shown in USPTO electronic records (TSDR) for U.S. Application Serial

No. 88/075,609 (“Applicant’s Application”). (See Exhibit C (RLP 10-14)).

RLP VENTURES, LLC’S RESPONSE TO

APPLICANT’S FIRST SET OF RE Q UEST S FOR ADMISSION

RLP Ventures, LLC hereby objects and responds to Mosaic Learning, Inc.’s

(“Applicant”) First Set of Requests for Admission (the “Requests,” also referred to individually

as “Request”), pursuant to Rule 36 of the Federal Rules of Civil Procedure and Section 407 of

the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board Manual of Board Procedure.

PRELIMINARY STATEMENT

These responses are made solely for the purpose of this opposition proceeding, and are

subject to all objections as to competence, relevance, materiality, propriety, admissibility, and all

other objections and grounds that would require the exclusion of any information identified

herein if such information were proffered to be received in evidence at trial, all of which are

expressly reserved.

RLP Ventures, LLC has not concluded formal and informal review and trial preparation

with respect to the issues in this proceeding. Therefore, while these responses are based upon

diligent exploration and investigation by RLP Ventures, LLC, they reflect the current state of

RLP 72

Page 91: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

RLP Ventures, LLC’s knowledge and analysis respecting the matters about which inquiry is

made and are not intended to be final and conclusive. RLP Ventures, LLC reserves the right to

amend, supplement, delete from, or otherwise change any response herein as further discovery

may make appropriate, and/or if it appears that omissions or errors have been made herein.

The responses below are based upon information presently available to RLP Ventures,

LLC, and no incidental or implied admissions are intended. The fact that RLP Ventures, LLC

agrees to respond to all or part of any request is not and should not be deemed to be either (1) an

admission that RLP Ventures, LLC accepts or admits the existence of any facts set forth or

assumed by such request, or that such response constitutes admissible evidence, or (2) a waiver

by RLP Ventures, LLC of all or any part of any objections which it has made to any request.

RECURRING OBJECTIONS

1. The general objections set forth in paragraphs 2 through 8 apply to and are

incorporated into RLP Ventures, LLC’s response to each Request as if set forth at length, unless

the context specifically states otherwise.

2. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the Applicant’s Requests to the extent they request

information not reasonably calculated to lead to the discovery of admissible evidence where

Applicant’s definition is broad enough to cover matters that manifestly are not in issue in this

proceeding.

3. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the Requests to the extent they seek discovery of

information protected by the attorney-client privilege and/or the work product doctrine. RLP

Ventures, LLC does not intend to disclose any information or produce any documents protected

by the attorney-client privilege or the work product doctrine. Any inadvertent disclosure of such

information or production of such documents shall not be deemed a waiver of the attorney-client

privilege or the work product doctrine. RLP Ventures, LLC will describe any response withheld

2

RLP 73

Page 92: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

on the ground of immunity or privilege in a manner that, without revealing information itself

privileged or protected, will enable RLP Ventures, LLC to assess the applicability of the

privilege or protection.

4. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to all of the Requests to the extent they seek disclosure of

information containing or embodying trade secrets, confidential business information,

proprietary materials and/or other private matters protected under Federal Rule of Civil

Procedure 26(c)(7) and/or Federal Rule of Evidence 501. RLP Ventures, LLC will describe any

response withheld on the ground of immunity or privilege in a manner that, without revealing

information itself privileged or protected, will enable RLP Ventures, LLC to assess the

applicability of the privilege or protection.

5. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the Requests to the extent they seek discovery of

information provided in confidence to RLP Ventures, LLC by persons or entities not a party to

this action which constitute or embody information or material that is private, confidential,

business, proprietary or trade secret and which RLP Ventures, LLC has agreed not to disclose or

disseminate, pursuant to any form of confidentiality or non-disclosure agreement or which are

inadmissible under Federal Rules of Evidence 408.

6. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the Requests to the extent they seek information that

could be obtained from another source that would be more convenient, less burdensome, or less

expensive.

7. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the Requests to the extent they attempt to obligate RLP

Ventures, LLC (a) to conduct anything other than a reasonable inquiry about the information

sought, or (b) to respond as to information, documents or things that are not within RLP

Ventures, LLC’s possession, custody or control.

3

RLP 74

Page 93: ESTTA Tracking number: ESTTA1081473 09/11/2020

8. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to the definition of “Opposer”, “You” and “Your”

respectively contained in Definitions 1 and 3, in that Definitions 1 and 3 require RLP Ventures,

LLC to make a determination whether a person or entity qualifies or acted within one of many

enumerated capacities, and/or bears a particular relationship to or affiliation with another person

or entity, which renders the Definition and each Request to which it applies, unduly burdensome,

vague and ambiguous.

9. RLP Ventures, LLC objects to each Request to the extent that it assumes disputed facts

or legal conclusions in defining the information requested. RLP Ventures, LLC ’s objections are

based on a good faith investigation and are made without in any manner waiving the right to

object to the use of any response for any purpose, in this action or other actions, on the grounds

of privilege, relevance, materiality, or any other available ground. In responding to each request,

RLP Ventures, LLC neither admits nor denies any such disputed facts or legal conclusions.

10. RLP Ventures, LLC reserves all objections or other questions as to the competency,

relevance, materiality, privilege or admissibility of evidence in this or any subsequent proceeding

or trial or any other action for any purpose whatsoever.

11. These responses are given without prejudice to further revision or supplementation of

these responses by RLP Ventures, LLC if further discovery or investigation so requires.

12. RLP Ventures, LLC also notes that discovery in this matter is ongoing, and that it has

not yet completed its preparations for trial. As discovery proceeds, facts, information, evidence,

documents, and things may be discovered that are not set forth in these responses, but which may

have been included in these responses had they been available.

Dear Ramona,

Please see attached (1) Applicant’s Amended First Set of Requests for Production and (2) Applicant’s Amended First

Set of Interrogatories. Although we disagree with your determination that our original versions exceeded the allowed

number of discovery requests, we have substantially reduced the number in a good-faith effort to resolve this issue

without the need for intervention by the TTAB.

Please notify us by Monday, July 20, 2020 if you do not plan to respond substantively to our amended discovery

requests within 30 days, i.e. by August 13, 2020. We take the opportunity to remind you that both parties have a

good-faith obligation to cooperate with one another to resolve disputes over discovery in accordance with TBMP 408. We are doing so and trust that you will as well.
