Tatuaje files a Notice of Reliance

[LTS 4 Bad Cigars]

This is the part of the industry and I suppose any business, where it is not just a hobby but, business.

Tatuaje files a Notice of Reliance in the action against Nicaragua Imports (aka Cuban Crafters). The action arose at the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB) when Tatuaje filed a Notice of Opposition against the Nicaragua Imports' trademark application for TATTOO.

The TTAB does not conduct an in person trial like most courts. Instead, all trial is based on the submitted evidence and Trial Briefs. Here's the link to Tatuaje's Notice of Reliance which sets forth the evidence that it intends to rely upon when it files its Trial Brief:

So I just reviewed 81 pages of Legal jargon, and it has come to my attn, that I have way too much time on my hands today at work.

I like how Pete' lawyer says that Cuban Crafter's name is deceptive because it leads the public to think it is of Cuban Origin. LOL

A lot of the things that you read in there are phrased that way because it is a term of art. Trademark law has certain causes of action and to prove those you have to prove certain elements exist. In this particular case they are arguing that the mark is geographically misdiscriptive in that it describes a product as being of Cuban that is not actually of Cuban origin. To win they will have to show that the customer (1) would believe that that the product is from Cuba, and (2) that they relied on that mistaken belief when they make their decision to purchase.

Although there is no trial in the sense of witnesses being called, etc., there is an opportunity for oral arguments (by both parties) before the TTAB under certain circumstances.

This one is mostly about the words Tatuaje and Tattoo

From what I saw Tatuaje, is responding to Cuban Crafter's request that Pete Stole or is wrongfullt using the name Tatuaje.

GAWD- Cuban Crappers! If I was given a cuban crafters before being hanged, I would pass out of respect for my time, and the ropes' patience. To say Cuban Crafters cigars taste like shit would be slanderous to shit everywhere.
