MEMORANDUM OF LAW IN SUPPORT OF

MOTION TO VACATE ENTRY OF DEFAULT

I. Introduction

PEM Management Inc. submits this brief in support of its motion to vacate the default

that was entered on July 24, 2018. Judgment has not been entered on the default and this motion

is filed within the time provided by the Order dated July 24, 2018.

II. Statement of Relevant Facts

PEM Management, Inc. is a holding company for Penn Engineering & Manufacturing

Corp. (collectively “Applicant”), which is a well-known, global leader in the industrial fastening

solutions industry. Since its establishment in 1942, Applicant has been designing and

manufacturing a wide variety of fasteners, fastener components, and fastener installation

equipment. Applicant owns more than 150 patents and more than 100 federally-registered

trademarks for its products including its famous mark PEM and PEM Family of Marks.

On November 3, 2017, Applicant filed an application to register the mark S-RT

(“Applicant’s Mark”) for use in connection with metal threaded fasteners. On April 3, 2018, the

mark was published for opposition. After receiving an extension of time to oppose on May 3,

2

2018, Opposer Lisi Aerospace ("Opposer") filed the above-captioned Opposition (the

"Opposition") to Applicant’s Mark on June 4, 2018. The Opposition is based on the unsupported

assertions of dilution and likelihood of confusion between Applicant’s Mark and Opposer's

trademark STR.

On June 4, 2018, the Board forwarded to Applicant’s trademark attorneys of record

(“Firm”) the Opposition filed by Opposer and an Order dated June 4, 2018 (the “June 4 Order”)

that required an answer be filed within 30 days. Firm believes the deadline to file an answer

(“Answer Deadline”) was correctly entered on its electronic docket. However, as described

below, because of a technical problem with the SQL database of Firm’s docketing system, the

Answer Deadline was subsequently omitted from the firm’s active docket, which caused Firm

not to file an answer. As a result, on July 24, the Board issued a Notice of Default. Applicant

was granted until August 23, 2018 to show cause why judgment by default should not be entered

pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(b). Applicant submits this brief in support of its motion to vacate

the default.

III. Summary of Arguments

The entry of Default should be vacated for several reasons. It is well-established that

defaults are disfavored. Wherever possible, cases should be decided on the merits and not on

technicalities. Any doubts should be resolved in favor of the defaulting party.

Opposer will not be prejudiced by vacating the default. For example, at this early stage

of the proceeding, Opposer cannot demonstrate loss of evidence, discovery difficulties or a

greater opportunity for fraud or collusion if the default is vacated. Opposer itself requested an

extension of time to file its Opposition and then waited another full month to file the Opposition.

Therefore, time is not of the essence in the Opposition.

3

Applicant has a meritorious defense to each claim asserted in the Opposition. Despite

claiming dilution as one grounds for the Opposition, Opposer has not alleged that its mark is

famous. Furthermore, Opposer’s mark merely comprises a three-letter alphanumeric

designation, which Opposer has been using as a model number. Such marks are merely

descriptive and require acquisition of secondary meaning before acquiring trademark protection.

Finally, based on industry usage, Opposer’s mark is not entitled to a broad enough scope of

protection to support the Opposition.

The default was the result of a technical problem with Firm’s docketing system, not the

result of Applicant’s culpable conduct. Applicant did not act in bad faith or act in an intentional

and egregious manner to avoid compliance with the June 4 Order. All other equitable factors

favor vacating the default.

IV. The Standard for Setting Aside a Default Arguments

The Federal Rules of Civil Procedure Rule provide relief from a default, specifically

stating, "[f]or good cause shown the court may set aside an entry of default ...." Fed. R. Civ. P.

55(c); see TBMP §312.01. “A decision to set aside an entry of default pursuant to Fed. R. Civ.

P. 55(c) 'is left primarily to the discretion of the district court.’” Bailey v. United Airlines, 279

F.3d 194, 204 (3d Cir. 2002) (quoting Hritz v. Woma Corp., 732 F.2d 1178, 1180 (3d.Cir. 1984).

Courts disfavor defaults. Where a party has moved to set aside a default, doubtful cases should

be resolved in favor of the party moving to set aside a default entry "so that cases may be

decided on their merits." See United States v. $55,518.05 in U.S. Currency, 728 F.2d 192, 194-95

(3d Cir. 1984)(citations omitted). The Courts of Appeal have "often emphasized that it does not

favor defaults, and that in a close case, doubts should be resolved in favor of setting aside the

default and obtaining a decision on the merits." See Farnese v. Bagnasco, 687 F.2d 761, 764 (3d

4

Cir. 1982).

When ruling on a motion to set aside a default under Rule 55(c), it well established that a

district court should consider the following three factors: (1) whether the plaintiff will be

prejudiced; (2) whether the defendant has a meritorious defense; and (3) whether the default was

the result of the defendant's culpable conduct. Hritz at 1181. “Good cause” should be generously

construed to set aside a default. Enron Oil Corp. v. Diakuhara, 10 F.3d 90, 96 (2d Cir. 1993). In

deciding a motion to vacate a default entry, courts should consider whether the party seeking to

vacate the default has demonstrated good cause. See Fed. R. Civ. P. 55(c). Any doubts should be

resolved in favor of vacating a default entry so that cases may be decided on their merits. See

$55,518.05 in U.S. Currency, 728 F.2d at 194-95.

IV. Arguments

A. Opposer Will Not Be Prejudiced By Vacating The Default

To establish prejudice, a plaintiff must demonstrate that the delay will result in the loss of

evidence, create increased difficulties of discovery, or provide greater opportunity for fraud and

collusion. Davis v. Musler, 713 F.2d 907, 916 (2d Cir. 1983) (citing Charles Alan Wright,

Arthur R. Miller and Mary Kay Kane, Federal Practice and Procedure§ 2699 at 536-537). In this

case, none of those concerns are present.

Opposer will not be prejudiced by vacating the default. For example, at this early stage

of the proceeding, Opposer cannot demonstrate loss of evidence, discovery difficulties or a

greater opportunity for fraud or collusion if the default is vacated. The notice of opposition was

filed on June 4, 2018 and the notice of default was filed on July 24, 2018, less than one month

ago. In that short period of time, Opposer can point to no loss of evidence or event that would

have caused the loss of evidence. The application was filed on November 3, 2017 under Section

5

1(b) and Opposer alleges a priority date for it mark STR as early as January 12, 2009. Thus,

most of the relevant evidence relating to priority is possessed by Opposer, not Applicant.

Furthermore, discovery has not yet been initiated; therefore, there have been no discovery

difficulties and none will be created by this minor delay. Applicant is a global leader in the

fastener industry with a stellar reputation. Any allegation regarding fraud or collusion would be

wholly unfounded.

Opposer has not exhibited or expressed any sense of urgency in this Opposition. Opposer

initially delayed these proceedings by requesting an extension of time to oppose Applicant’s

mark on May 3, 2018. Then, Opposer waited a full month until June 4 to file its opposition.

Therefore, Opposer can’t claim any urgency in the Opposition. Under these circumstances,

Opposer will not be prejudiced by vacating the default.

B. Applicant Has A Meritorious Defense to the Opposition

To vacate default, Applicant must overcome the low hurdle of demonstrating that it has a

meritorious defense. The meritorious defense need not be ultimately persuasive at this stage.

American Alliance Ins. Co., Ltd. v. Eagle Ins. Co., 92 F.3d 57, 61 (2d Cir. 1996). “A defense is

meritorious if it is good at law so as to give the factfinder some determination to make." Anilina

Fabrique v. Aakash Chemicals & Dyestuffss, Inc., 856 F.2d 873, 879 (7th Cir. 1988).

Likelihood of success is not the measure. Enron Oil at 98. Rather, Applicant “must only present

some evidence beyond conclusory denials to support his defense.” Enron Oil at 98.

“[A]llegations are meritorious if they contain even a hint of a suggestion which, if proven at trial,

would constitute a complete defense." Weisel v. Pischel, 197 F.R.D. 231, 239 (E.D.N.Y.2000)

(internal quotation marks and citation omitted).

The Opposition alleges that registration of Applicant’s mark (1) is likely to dilute

6

Opposer’s well-known mark and (2) will result in damage to Opposer under the provision of

§2(d) and §43(a). For several reasons briefly discussed below, neither of these claims is likely to

succeed.

Under the Federal Trademark Dilution Act (“FTDA”), relief can only be afforded to

“famous” marks. 15 U.S.C. §1125(c)(1). The first element of proof is that Opposer owns a

famous mark that is distinctive. Rosetta Stone Ltd. v. Google, Inc., 676 F.3d 144, 168 (4th Cir.

2012). Under the FTDA, a mark is famous if it “is widely recognized by the general consuming

public of the United States as a designation of source of the goods or services of the mark’s

owner.” 15 U.S.C. §1125(c)(2)(A)(emphasis added). Opposer has not pleaded that its mark has

become famous. The closest allegation is that “STR brand has become well-known in the

industry in the United States, representing high-quality and reliability.” There are no allegations

to suggest that Opposer promotes its mark outside of the fastener industry.

Under Sections 2(d) and 43(a) of the Lanham Act, Opposer must prove likelihood of

confusion. However, Opposer’s mark STR and Applicant’s mark S-RT look different and are

not confusingly similar. While the marks contain the same three letters, they are arranged in a

different order and Applicant’s mark includes the hyphen. The marks are pronounced

differently. This combination causes the marks to make different commercial impressions,

especially in light of the commercial environment in which the marks are used.

Opposer’s Mark and Applicant’s Mark are used in connection with industrial fasteners,

fastener components and fastener installation equipment. Both parties’ goods are sold to

sophisticated customers, namely, engineers, designers, etc. who work for companies in the

electronics, computer, data/telecom, medical, automotive, marine, aerospace/aircraft, and general

manufacturing industries. These customers critically review the identity and qualifications of the

7

manufacturer, along with the technical specifications of the product itself. These customers

make bulk purchases of such fasteners and components in large quantities from thousands up to

millions.

In this industry, it is not unusual for a company to have dozens or even hundreds of

products, all of which need a product designator. Very often, industrial fastener companies

select terse, alphanumeric strings to identify such products. Such strings often serve as both a

mark and a style, grade designation, or model designator for the product. For example, Opposer

uses numerous 2 and 3 character alphanumeric strings as a mark, style, grade and/or model

number for its products, including:

Opposer’s Designations

Alphanumeric designation Particular Goods

STR Nuts, nut-plates, cage-nuts, barrel nut retainers

STL Screws, bolts, rivets, washers

BB Blind bolts

BN Blind nuts

GP Lockbolts

LGP lockbolts

CLY Temporary fasteners

A5L Screws, bolts, rivets, studs

OPB Rivets, bolts

See exhibit 1, which are true and correct copies of selected pages from Opposer’s website.

Similarly, Applicant uses over 150 alphanumeric strings as both a mark and a style, grade and/or

model number for its products, including:

A4, AS, AC, B, BS, CFN, CLA, CLS, CLSS, F, F4, FE, FEO, FEOX, FEX, H, HN, HNL, LA4, LAC, LAS, LK, LKA, LKS, PL, PLC, RAA, RAS, S, SFN, SH, SS, SMPP, SMPS, SP, SL, S-RT, U, UL,

Pins, standoffs, nuts, inserts

WN, WNS Weld nuts

See exhibit 2, which are true and correct copies of selected pages from Applicant’s website.

Under such marketing circumstances, sophisticated customers are indoctrinated to discern

between slight differences in product designators, such as the difference between Applicant’s

mark S-RT and Opposer’s mark STR.

The following snapshot from Opposer’s website shows that Opposer uses the string STR

as a model number (STR10, STR20, STR60, STR70, STR90) for various nuts.

9

STR appears to be an abbreviation for the mark STARLITE. A true and correct copy of the

STARLITE catalog from Opposer’s website is attached hereto as Exhibit 3. Under such

circumstances, designations used to indicate style, grade or model are placed in the category of

“descriptive” marks, which require proof of secondary meaning to achieve trademark

significance. See McCarthy on Trademarks and Unfair Competition §7:16 (4th ed.). Assuming

Opposer has adequately plead acquired distinctiveness in the mark STR, Opposer’s U.S.

registration issued on June 28, 2011 and was filed under Section 66(a) without any allegation of

use. Opposer’s Section 71 Declaration of Use was only recently filed on December 20, 2017. It

is un-alleged and unknown when Opposer initiated use of the mark STR in the United States for

purposes of acquiring distinctiveness.

More importantly, because of the descriptive nature of Opposer’s mark, and the fact that

competitors are using numerous similar marks without marketplace confusion, Opposer’s mark is

not entitled to a scope of protection that would support the Opposition.

Applicant is not aware of any instances of confusion in the marketplace between its use

10

of the mark S-RT and Opposer's use of the mark STR. Applicant is not aware of any customers

or potential customers who visited its website or purchased products from Applicant because

they believed that they were dealing with Opposer. Furthermore, Opposer has made no

allegation of actual confusion.

For all of these reasons, Applicant has several meritorious defenses to the Opposition.

For purposes of vacating the default, “all that is required is a plausible response to the allegations

in the complaint.” T.B.M.P. 312.02. Applicant clearly meets this low burden to establish a

meritorious defense.

C. The Default Was Not The Result Of Applicant's Culpable Conduct

The third element requires examination of whether the culpable conduct of a defendant

caused the default. Courts examine the "willfulness" or "bad faith" of a non-responding

defendant. Hritz, 732 F.2d at 1182. A finding of culpable conduct requires more than mere

negligence. Id. at 1183. The fact that the defendant or his counsel neglected the obligation to

respond is not sufficient to establish culpable conduct. See Farnese, 687 F.2d at 764. To find

that a default was willful, it must be clear that the defaulting party engaged in deliberate or

egregious conduct. See Gucci America Inc. v. Gold Center Jewelry, 158 F.3d 631, 634-35 (2d

Cir. 1998); American Alliance Ins. Co. v. Eagle Ins. Co., 92 F.3d 57, 61 (2d Cir.1996). Thus,

negligence or carelessness does not amount to willfulness. SEC v. McNulty, 137 F.3d 732, 738

(2d Cir.), cert. denied, 525 U.S. 931 (1998).

In accordance with Firm practice, the June 4 Order was docketed shortly after it was

received by Firm. Over a period of several days in late June, Firm experienced technical

problems with the SQL database that contains the master docket for Firm’s electronic docketing

system. Firm uses FlexTrac, which is a specialized intellectual property docketing system.

11

Specifically, the master docket file on the server somehow became “disconnected” (and lost)

from the FlexTrac docketing program that runs on several workstations. While not positive,

Firm believes that the problem was associated with several updates that were automatically

installed on the server’s operating system. Firm believes that the backup master docket file that

was eventually restored was not current enough to include the June 4 Order. As a result, the

Answer Deadline was omitted from the active docket that was restored from the backup file.

Therefore, no answer was filed by the Answer Deadline. Based upon the foregoing, the failure

to answer was not the result of any culpable conduct by Applicant.

VI. CONCLUSION

For the foregoing reasons, Applicant respectfully requests that: (1) its motion be

GRANTED; (2) the default entered against it on July 24, 2018 be VACATED; and, (3) the

matter be permitted to proceed on the merits by permitting Applicant to file an answer or

otherwise plead to the Opposition within 30 days of the Court’s order vacating the default.

Product range

Blind fastener systems are used where the structure design or the assembly sequence does not allow access fr

sides of the assembly. This product family can be split into two main categories: blind nuts, and blind bolts or blind ri

The blind nut is a fastener element, with a female thread installed from one side into a structure, which later in the a

process will receive a bolt.

Blind bolts are definitive blind fasteners allowing assembly from one side. They are widely used for closed structu

as ailerons, flaps and spoilers where the thickness of the structure box does not grant access from the back side.

BN Blind Nuts:

The BN Blind Nut is a simple and robust solution to provide a thread, designed as a two co

system combining a high strength threaded expander with a choice of sleeve in multiple m

and shapes depending on the targeted application. The BN Blind Nut installation is suitable

of conventional nut plates where a closed structure does not allow access from the back o

the fatigue criticality of the sub-structure in fatigue does not allow holes to be drilled

installation of conventional nut plates. Technical support and hydraulic tooling solutions to in

BN Blind Nuts onto the sub-structure are also provided by LISI AEROSPACE.

BB Blind Bolts:

The LISI AEROSPACE family of BB blind bolts delivers valuable solutions for most blind f

needs. The concept of two component sleeve and expanders allows a wide variety of he

and material combinations, providing reasonable manufacturing diversity. The core bolt, s

conventional bolts and the expander are simple and robust elements providing relia

strength capability to the system. As for the BN Blind Nuts and ELLIP-NUT™ products, a v

tooling solutions is also available for the installation of BB Blind Bolts.

Composite materials are used anywhere in an aircraft as secondary structure as well as primary

structure (wing, fuselage, tail section…). Composites ofer lightweight structure, better fatigue

resistance, increased life cycle. This is why OEMs use a high percentage of composite parts.

Composite utilization leads to new assembly issues:

• Liquid shims are required to ill in the assembly stack up gaps.

• De-lamination of composite parts are critical, so material damage is not allowed.

OEMs are also concerned by assembly time saving, cost saving, lead time reduction… and as a

partner and supplier we have to comply with these expectations.

CLAMPBERRY™ systems for Structure Assembly

Drilling templates are used to drill accurate holes during assembly. They need to be maintained

and positioned accurately to ensure the quality of holes for positioning and drilling.

Drilling may be performed by means of either classic drilling machines or concentric collet drilling

machines which are clamped on the drilling template. The drilling template must be rigid enough

to support the weight and the drill thrust of these equipments.

Therefore, the clamping and positioning systems of the drilling templates must also meet the

requirements.

LISI has designed several solutions focusing on customer expectations such as time savings, ease

of use and Life Cycle.

LISI ofers two types of one sided temporary fasteners ensuring:

• Type 1:

– Rapid drilling template installation and removal

– Accurate drilling template positioning

– High clamping load to meet the equipment’s weight and drilling loads

– Drilling template is fastened securely to a/c skins

• Type 2:

– A/C skins are clamped through drilling template

ASTER™ SYSTEM

Products Fasteners Tooling Installation Tooling

Description

The ASTER™ system offers the best performance in torque capability for one-sided installation threaded fastener sy

The specific geometry is designed to reduce radial stress in the fastener providing higher torque transmissio

simultaneously allowing the recess depth reduction.

Installation issues encountered with hexagonal hold systems, such as hex recess wear and damages situation, are

without impacting fastener performance.

The new patented ASTER™ hold five-lobe system has been developed to eliminate installation problems associa

clearance-fit or transition fit applications by sustaining higher torque than the conventional hex recess for one-side a

threaded fasteners.

The ASTER™ system is particularly suitable for composites thanks to the high torque capability.

Features

The ASTER™ system provides a secured assembly process due to higher torque capability and increased ultimat

without impacting fastener structural performance.

The design of the recess also allows an easy engagement of the tool, even rotating, while insuring that no debris

stuck in the recess in case of tool failure.

USER-FRIENDLY ASSEMBLY

The STARLITE™ design is suitable for a wide range of assembly constraints associated with composite structures.

Cleaner work environment

HI-KOTE™4 NC coating contains improved lubricating agents in its formulation in

order to avoid the use of cetyl alcohol as a secondary lubricant, thus authorizing

a cleaner work environment and good paint or sealant adhesion.

Tolerant to structure and assembly variations

STR™ nuts are compatible with nominal, 1st and 2nd oversize pins.

A speciic reference is required only for 3rd oversize.

Structure slope variation of 0.5° is accepted by the STARLITE™ plain nuts.

Self aligning nut version allows for installation up to 5° angle.

Limited structure damage

Optimized bearing area eliminates damage to the structure and a captive washer

solution is proposed for more severe applications.

Reliable assembly with Titanium pins

LISI AEROSPACE proprietary crimping process and HI-KOTE™4 NC

coating guaranty superior anti-galling and assembly performances.

Easy identification

In addition to manufacturer symbol, all STR™ nuts are

marked with their reference number for easy identiication.
