[E-trademarks] TTAB - Question re brief opposing motion

[Kevin Grierson]

Agreed. I think you should address the merits of the motion that rather than focusing on the deficiencies in the reg or rules cited.  If the relevant rule says something different, that’s certainly worth noting, but triers of fact generally don’t have much patience with an opposition that amounts to “he/she cited the wrong rule.”

We received a motion that does not contain citation to the applicable CFR section(s) that provide the basis for the motion.  Instead, the motion cites to the TBMP (and at that, they are not even the correct sections of the TBMP).  Is it worthwhile to point this defect out in a brief opposing the motion (amongst other reasons opposing the motion).  If it is viewed as worthwhile, can the moving party simply rectify that deficiency if they file a reply brief?
