RELIEF FROM JUDGEMENT of TTAB February 25, 2020, Proceeding No. 92058885

ARGUMENT

1 Due to surprise, inadvertence, and/or mistakes of Proceeding 92,058,885 along with the

delays, difficulties, and tragedies associated with COVID-19, Defense hereby requests the

Board “TTAB” to grant RELIEF FROM JUDGEMENT on the Decision made February 25,

2020, and thereby allow Registration No. 3,771,513, Serial No. 77,839,136 to be revived for

the original owner Hidden Wineries Inc. according to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b).

2 A plethora of evidence has been provided in the background of this Request, that the true

INTENTION of U.S. District Ct. Case No. 3:18-cv-02174 was to reverse TTAB decision on

August 7, 2017. Thereby allowing Hidden Wineries Inc. to retain Registration No. 3,771,513,

and Serial No. 77,839,136 for the MARK in this proceeding.

3 A plethora of evidence has been attached herein to demonstrate a Settlement Agreement

between the parties supports the reversal of the TTAB decision made on August 7, 2017.

Thereby allowing Hidden Wineries Inc. to retain Registration No. 3,771,513, and Serial No.

77,839,136 for the MARK in this proceeding.

4 Declarations attached herein demonstrate the true intention of U.S. District Ct. Case No. 3:18-

cv-02174 was to reverse TTAB decision on August 7, 2017. Thereby allowing Hidden

Wineries Inc. to retain Registration No. 3,771,513, and Serial No. 77,839,136 for the MARK.

5 Petitioner’s Express Abandonment of all related marks promptly following the TTAB decision

of February 25, 2020, attached herein, demonstrate the true intention of U.S. District Ct. Case

No. 3:18-cv-02174 was to reverse TTAB decision on August 7, 2017. Thereby allowing

Hidden Wineries Inc. to retain Registration No. 3,771,513, and Serial No. 77,839,136 for the

MARK in this proceeding.

6 Retaining this mark is vital to the Hidden Wineries business. Severe hardship to the company

will occur if the mark is not retained. Years of time, work, and money are invested in this mark.

Page 6

RELIEF FROM JUDGEMENT of TTAB February 25, 2020, Proceeding No. 92058885

7 A motion under Rule 60(b) is made within a reasonable time.

8 According to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) Grounds for Relief from a Final Judgment, Order, or

Proceeding, on motion and just terms, the court may relieve a party or its legal representative

from a final judgment, order, or proceeding for the following reasons: (1) mistake,

inadvertence, surprise, or excusable neglect; (2) newly discovered evidence that, with

reasonable diligence, could not have been discovered in time to move for a new trial under

Rule 59(b); (3) fraud (whether previously called intrinsic or extrinsic), misrepresentation,

or misconduct by an opposing party; (4) the judgment is void; (5) the judgment has been

satisfied, released, or discharged; it is based on an earlier judgment that has been

reversed or vacated; or applying it prospectively is no longer equitable; or (6) any other

reason that justifies relief. And made applicable by 37 CFR § 2.116(a),

9 A Petition to the Director has been filed concurrently with a Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) motion to the

Board for relief from judgment, and the petition and motion seek the same relief and require

review of the same set of facts.

10 The Petition to the Director requests, that if the Board grants a RELIEF OF JUDGEMENT in

TTAB Proceeding 92,058,885, that the Director allows the Registrant, Hidden Wineries Inc. to

file a Section 8 and 9 in a manner that will be considered timely.

11 According to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) [Note 8.] See TBMP § 312.03. If, in a cancellation

proceeding, a Petition to the Director is filed concurrently with a Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b)

motion to the Board for relief from judgment, and the petition and motion seek the same

relief and require review of the same set of facts, the Board will rule first upon the motion

for relief from judgment.

12 According to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) [Note 9.] If the Board grants the motion, the Director, as a

ministerial act, will reinstate the subject registration.

Page 7

RELIEF FROM JUDGEMENT of TTAB February 25, 2020, Proceeding No. 92058885

13 A motion to “re-open” the period for filing Section 8 and 9 filing for Registration No.

3,771,513 is hereby submitted simultaneously. According to TBMP 509.01 “Pursuant to Fed.

R. Civ. P. 6(b), made applicable to Board proceedings by 37 C.F.R. § 2.116(a), a party may file

a motion for an extension of the time…If however, the motion is not filed until after the

expiration of the period as originally set or previously extended, the motion is one to extend a

period that has closed (often referred to as a motion to "reopen"), and the moving party

must show that its failure to act during the time allowed therefor was the result of excusable

neglect…..”

14 Due to the TTAB February 25, 2020 Judgement, Registration No. 3,771,513 was unavailable

for filing Section 8 and 9 filing despite the calls, emails, and working of Defense to learn how

to file for Relief of Judgement, compounded by the delays, difficulties, and tragedies due to

COVID-19. The time for Section 8 and 9 filing for Registration No. 3,771,513 has since

expired.

CONCLUSION

I pray that TTAB will grant Relief from Judgement of February 25, 2020, in Proceeding No.

92,058,885 and reinstate Registration No. 3,771,513 (Serial No. 77,839,136) to Hidden Wineries Inc.

It was the intention of both parties that the Settlement Agreement for U.S. District Ct. Case No. 3:18-

cv-02174 signed by MaDonna White President/CEO of Hidden Wineries Inc. “Plaintiff” and Alexis

Swanson Traina, Principal of Modern House Wines LLC “Defense” respectively: December 18, 2019

and January 3, 2020 was to reverse and REVERSE the decision of August, 07, 2017 for TTAB

Proceeding No. 92058885.

Page 8

RELIEF FROM JUDGEMENT of TTAB February 25, 2020, Proceeding No. 92058885

I concurrently pray, according to Fed. R. Civ. P. 60(b) [Note 8.] and [Note 9.] that if TTAB

Judgement Relief is granted to the February 25, 2020 decision, that the Director is allowed to accept

Hidden Wineries Inc. filing for Section 8 and 9 in a manner that is acceptable and timely for Hidden

Wineries Inc, to renew and maintain Registration No. 3,771,513, Serial No. 77,839,136 for the MARK

in this proceeding.

Retaining this mark is vital to the Hidden Wineries continuous business. Severe hardship to the

company will occur if the mark is not retained. Numerous years, months, and hours of time, work, and

money are invested in this mark.

I declare under penalty of perjury under the laws of the United States that the foregoing is true and

correct, and if called upon to testify I could and would testify thereto.

Executed in Temecula, California

on November 9, 2020.
