Fame Jeans filed a U.S. intent-to-use application for that mark in January 2004, with Bestseller applying for the mark in the U.S. in December 2004, but not having any clear sales in the U.S. before January 2004.

First, from this opinion, the TTAB looks like a practice run and one can apparently always call “do over” and try out new arguments before the district court. That seems like an unfortunate waste of time and money for those trying to resolve things before the TTAB. Second, the factual background of this case strongly suggests that Fame knew exactly what they were doing and that it was simply a cheap trick by a competitor. Do they really think anyone believes that they just happened to come up with the name “Jack & Jones” for jeans and had no idea that name was already in use internationally on jeans? What’s a little surprising is how far Fame has gotten with this tactic and how narrow Bestseller’s options are now. The moral may be that if you’ve got a mark outside the U.S. and you think you’ll ever want to move into U.S. sales you should quickly proceed to make a few U.S. sales, document them well, and get your U.S. TM application on file ASAP. Otherwise, any competitor can just adopt your mark for its products in the U.S. and you’ll have a long hard road to stopping them.
