Statutory interpretation of s.1051(e) in this case provides a new way to serve foreign defendants via the Director of the United States Patent &amp; Trademark Office (\u201cUSPTO\u201d). &nbsp;Specifically,&nbsp;<em>Jiaxing<\/em>&nbsp;provides that a foreign defendant may be served if they have filed an application for a conflicting trademark at the USPTO. This mitigates the traditional temporal, financial, and logistical challenges associated with preventing trademark infringement by foreign companies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Los Angeles-based &nbsp;(\u201cSan Antonio\u201d) is known for their Stella Rosa brand that they have produced under the trademarks &nbsp;since 1998. They , a Chinese company, for registering the mark \u201cRIBOLI\u201d for&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/court-uncorks-new-way-to-serve-6718772\/\">wine pourers, bottle s<\/a>tands, containers, cocktail shakers, dishware, and other kitchen products. Jiaxing registered \u201cRIBOLI\u201d in 2018 for clothing and shoes and in 2020 for kitchen products. Accordingly, San Antonio filed a complaint for trademark infringement, trademark dilution, and false designation of origin. They are seeking an injunction against Jiaxing from using the \u201cRIBOLI\u201d mark, and an order to prohibit Jiaxing\u2019s registrations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The current route to service of foreign defendants is the Hague Convention, but San Antonio sought a faster and inexpensive way to serve Jiaxing. They did so under&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.law.cornell.edu\/uscode\/text\/15\/1051\">s. 1051(e)<\/a>&nbsp;which allows U.S. residents to serve the foreign defendant\u2019s O agent or the USPTO director in \u201cproceedings\u201d that affect the mark. The provision states that if the trademark applicant is not in the U.S., they can designate a person in the U.S. who may be served on their behalf regarding the marks; and if that person is not found then the USPTO director may be served.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Jurisprudence conflicts as to whether s.1051(e) is limited to USPTO proceedings or includes civil lawsuits. As such, the &nbsp;that held the provision only applies to administrative proceedings. The Ninth Circuit reversed this by interpreting that the words \u201cproceedings affecting a trademark\u201d are broad enough to include civil litigation. Since , the provision must encompass serving process for disputes in district court. The Court held that the wording only requires that it\u2019s plain and ordinary meaning be taken. Moreover, since the Lanham Act grants courts the power to affect trademarks in other ways, s.1051(e)\u2019s use of the word \u201cprocess\u201d must apply to court proceedings. Further, the word&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/court-uncorks-new-way-to-serve-6718772\/\">\u201cprocess\u201d cannot be understood as reference to administrative proceedings<\/a>, and thus it would have been&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/court-uncorks-new-way-to-serve-6718772\/\">superfluous to include<\/a>&nbsp;if it were not meant to also include civil proceedings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Serving foreign defendants through s.1051(e)&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/court-clears-new-way-for-trademark-4979863\/\">does not run contrary to the Hague Convention<\/a>&nbsp;as it governs service amongst foreign countries whereas s.1051(e) governs service within the U.S without international transmittal of documents; which means it&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.jdsupra.com\/legalnews\/court-uncorks-new-way-to-serve-6718772\/\">falls outside the scope of the convention<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Foreign infringers are increasingly popular and &nbsp;on marketplaces that verify IP ownership, such as Amazon. The decision is significant, in that it may act as a deterrent \u2014 it warns foreign companies that an application at the USPTO is all that is needed to be served a U.S. lawsuit. The Court\u2019s adoption of the plain and ordinary meaning is akin to the starting point of statutory interpretation in this context in Canada \u2014&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/papyrus.bib.umontreal.ca\/xmlui\/bitstream\/handle\/1866\/1352\/BeaulacC%C3%B4t%C3%A9RJT40-1.pdf\">Driedger\u2019s Modern Principle<\/a>&nbsp;as adopted in&nbsp;<em>Rizzo<\/em>&nbsp;and&nbsp;<em>Bell ExpressVu<\/em>. This points to an expectation of similar results in Canadian courts, wherein a purposive analysis would be adopted to assess the ability of domestic trademark owners to serve foreign infringers.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Anita Gogia is a IPilogue Writer and a 2L JD Candidate at Osgoode Hall Law School.
