On September 26, 2018, after a three-day jury trial, a Federal
Jury in Dallas returned a verdict in favor of Defendant XRC, LLC
that the registered trademark X-RAY CE is generic and that
Defendant’s use thereof was fair use. XRC LLC operates the website
CE4RT.com offering continuing education credits for radiologic
technologists. CE is the abbreviation for Continuing Education.
X-Ray Techs or Radiologic Technologists are required by each State
to obtain Continuing Education Courses to maintain their licenses.
Wendy B. Mills, Attorney for Defendant XRC, LLC said, “the Jury
listened to the testimony presented by each side and returned a
verdict that the trademark is generic.”
Pursuant to the Jury Verdict finding that the trademark is
generic, on September 27, 2018, United States Magistrate Judge
Renee Harris Toliver issued the Final Judgment in this matter and
ordered the Director of the United States Patent and Trademark
Office to cancel the registration for the trademark X-RAY CE.
This case is: Robert Vandling d/b/a X-Ray CE v. XRC, LLC and
XRC, LLC v. Wendy Vandling; Case No. 3:16-cv-01399-BK in the United
States District Court for the Northern District of Texas, Dallas
