In a 419-page filing submitted to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), Alibaba Group Holding Limited has opposed the registration of the “ALI,” mark by Muhammad Ali Enterprises LLC (MAE). The opposition explains that MAE’s proposed mark will confuse consumers because they will mistakenly identify it with the Chinese e-commerce giant.
Alibaba’s May 22 submission explains that Alibaba Group Holding Limited, a Cayman Islands company, and its affiliates operate Internet-based business transaction platforms worldwide. Its businesses consist of “commerce, cloud computing, digital media and entertainment, and innovation initiatives.” Alibaba also reportedly offers payment and financial services for consumers and merchants on its platforms.
