Association of Forensic Linguists.

7. I hold a Ph.D. in English with a concentration in linguistics from the University of
5
Iowa in 1967 and a B.A. with Honors and Highest Distinction in English from the University of
6
7 Iowa in 1962.
9 9. I have prepared this Declaration at the request of the law firm LegalForce RAPC
10
Worldwide, PC, of Mountain View, California, the counsel for LegalForce Inc., the Plaintiff in the
11
above-named case. They have asked me to provide my scientific opinion concerning the potential
12
bases for linguistic confusion—among ordinary SPEAKERS of contemporary American English—of
13
four terms or marks: (1) TRADEMARKIA, which is the mark of the Plaintiff, LegalForce, Inc.;1 (2)
14
15 LEGALFORCE, which is also the mark of the Plaintiff;2 the combined form (3) LEGALFORCE
16 TRADEMARKIA, in which the Plaintiff combines in use its two registered marks into one unified
17 mark; and (4) LEGALZOOMTRADEMARKIA.COM, wherein the Defendant’s name,
18
LEGALZOOM,3 is combined with the registered mark of the Plaintiff for use to advertise trademark
19
research and watch services over the internet. 4

Reg No. 4227650, Reg. Date October 16, 2012, Ser. No.85483252, Filing Date November 30, 2011; for legal services,
namely, law firm services specializing in administrative, transactional, litigation, civil and legal document preparation
23
and research services for attorneys; providing general information in the field of legal services via a global computer
network (45).

services, namely, law services (42).
25 4
I identify putative trademarks and service marks, as well as abbreviated names of the Plaintiff and Defendant, by
placing them in normal-size capital letters. Forms placed in small capital letters indicate technical terms (at least for first
26 time that I use them); e.g., SPEAKER is a technical term that includes the linguistic abilities for speaking, writing,
understanding, and remembering both spoken and written language. These abilities are characteristic of all ordinary
27 persons who have native-level fluency in contemporary American English, of which the potential purchasers of the
products and services in question are necessarily a significant subset (insofar as English is the majority language in the
28 United States).

1 10. The relevant linguistic features that contribute or inhibit speaker confusion are sound
2 (pronunciation and comprehension), appearance (both in spelling and in larger context of visual
3
presentation), denotative and connotative meaning, and sociolinguistic and pragmatic usage.
4
11. The trademark TRADEMARKIA does not appear in any dictionary,5 indicating that it
5
is a coined word, made up of the legal word trademark (noun, adjective, and verb) and the contrived
6
7 suffix -ia, which was originally used in English in words borrowed from Latin and Greek, and
15 12. Pragmatically, TRADEMARKIA is known to the public owing entirely to its use as
16 indicators of the goods and services of the trademark owner. This is attested to by searching the 14
17 billion word i-web corpus assembled by the Corpus of Contemporary American English, which
18
returns 98 instances of trademarkia, all apparently related to the Plaintiff [Exhibit E].
19
13. LEGALFORCE is also a registered trademark composed of the adjective legal and
20
the noun force. In relation to an enterprise that deals in legal aspects of trademarks, the term suggests
21
22 a positive, powerful service in litigation and document production (and at least potentially, in legal
24 generates and enhances the strengths of LEGALFORCE and TRADEMARKIA working separately.

7 forceful linguistic conditions conducive to the promotion of speaker confusion with the Plaintiff’s
8 marks as represented in the Plaintiff’s marks LEGALFORCE TRADEMARKIA. Except for the
15 alone, the potential for linguistic confusion is great: speakers will note LEGAL at the beginning of
16 the marks and TRADEMARKIA at the end (distinguished only by the generic marker “.COM”) and
17 focus little or no attention on the one-syllable nouns zoom and force that are buried in between:
18
LEGALZOOMTRADEMARKIA
19
LEGALFORCETRADEMARKIA
20
1 zoom). The semantic prominence of TRADEMARKIA will thus further diminish any distinguishing
2 power of the zoom/force contrast. Speakers are well aware that competing providers of goods and
3
services often buy and sell each other, as well as licensing their trademarks for use with each other.
4
Speakers would easily be drawn to assuming that LEGALFORCETRADEMARKIA is merely
5
LEGALZOOMTRADEMARKIA’s version of TRADEMARKIA.
6
7 18. For the foregoing reasons, it is my expert opinion that reasonable persons in the
8 United States are highly likely to be linguistically confused as to source and origin of

The$iWeb$corpus (released6May62018)
The BYU corpora (https://corpus.byu.edu) are the world’s most widely4used corpora. The iWeb corpus
(https://corpus.byu.edu/iweb) HH released in May 2018 – is perhaps the most useful of the BYU corpora for
language learners, teachers, and researchers. There are a number of features that make this such a great corpus.
First,6consider6the6size of6the6corpus.6iWeb6is6about6146billion6words6in6size,6which6makes6about6256times6as6big6as6
COCA6(5606million6words)6and6about61406times6as6big6as6the6BNC6(1006million6words).

iWeb
Second, in just 4H5 seconds you can create a “Virtual Corpus” for any topic (e.g. chocolate, basketball, solar
power, investments, Buddhism, solar power, or any other topic).
Once you’ve created the virtual corpus, you can then search within it (as if it were its own standHalone
corpus), and you can compare results from different virtual corpora that you’ve created. In just 2H3 seconds,
you can also find a list of keywords for the virtual corpus, as with the “solar energy” corpus below:
Case 3:17-cv-07194-MMC Document 129-1 Filed 06/08/18 Page 33 of 128
Third, with iWeb you have access to the wide range of searches that you have for all of the other BYU
corpora, including: words, phrases, substrings, lemmas, part of speech, synonyms, and customized wordlists.
For example, the search BUY * ADJ @CLOTHES takes just 1H2 seconds to search through the 14 billion words
to find strings like the following (and it doesn’t require learning unnecessarily convoluted search syntax).
Because of iWeb’s advanced architecture, even searches for very general searches like NOUN + NOUN or
VERB * ADJ NOUN take just 1H2 seconds to search through the 14 billion word corpus:
Case 3:17-cv-07194-MMC Document 129-1 Filed 06/08/18 Page 34 of 128
A unique feature of iWeb, which makes it very useful for language learners and teachers, is the ability to
browse through a list of the top 60,000 words (lemmas) in the corpus, and then to see an extremely wide
range of information on each of these words.
For example, the following are just a few examples of high frequency words (about word #5000 in the 60,000
word list), medium frequency (~25,000), and low frequency (~45,000) words. For each word in the list, users
can hear the word pronounced, see videos with that word in the text, find related images from Google
Images, an see a translation for their preferred target language.
It is even possible to search the 60,000 word list by pronunciation (very helpful, because of difficult English
spelling). For example, the following is a partial list of two syllable words (accented on the second syllable)
that rhyme with stay:
Case 3:17-cv-07194-MMC Document 129-1 Filed 06/08/18 Page 35 of 128
Each of the top 60,000 words in the corpus has a “home page” such as the following, with links to other pages
with more information. Users can save words to a “favorites” list for later review, and go back through a
history of all of their “word” pages

Case 3:17-cv-07194-MMC Document 129-1 Filed 06/08/18 Page 36 of 128
Each of the top 60,000 words also has more detailed pages, including a “dictionary” page, related topics,
collocates, clusters, websites, and concordance lines. Samples of each of these pages are given below.
DICTIONARY page
Includes a definition, links to Google Images, pronunciation, videos, and translations (to desired language) at
(up to) four different sites. Also includes synonyms and words with more specific meanings (hyponyms) and
more general meanings (hyponyms) (both from WordNet). It also includes frequency information (including
rank order, number of tokens, and two “range” measures of how well the word is spread throughout the
95,000 websites. Finally, it also includes the frequency of the different forms of the lemma (e.g. verb forms),
and related words.

TOPICS page
Shows words that tend to coHoccur in the 22 million webpages in the corpus. In many cases these provide better
insight into meaning and usage than collocates (the standard tool for finding textually related words), and yet
we’re not aware of any other corpus that has these. Users can click on any of these words to follow a “chain” of
related words.
COLLOCATES page
Words that occur nearby. Click on any word to see the collocates for the new word, or click on the “text” icon to see
the word in context. The gray boxes show the most normal placement of the node word (e.g. bread and butter, but
slice of bread). You can also sort by Mutual Information score and set frequency thresholds (Advanced Options).
Case 3:17-cv-07194-MMC Document 129-1 Filed 06/08/18 Page 38 of 128
CLUSTERS page
The most common 2, 3, and 4 word strings. You can decide how “wide” or “tight” you want the clusters to be
(e.g. whether they include highly frequent words like articles and prepositions).
KWIC$/$concordance page
See 100 – 1000 random lines, with the surrounding words highlighted for part of speech. You can reHsort the
words by words to the left or right, all with the goal of seeing the patterns in which the word occurs.

Summary
The iWeb corpus has a number of features that sets it apart from any other corpus. These include its size (14
billion words, 22 million web pages, 95,000 websites), its searches (range of query types, and the ease and
speed of its searches), and the ease and speed with which you can create “Virtual Corpora” for any topic of
interest.
In addition, it is different from any of the other BYU corpora in the attention that it gives to the top 60,000
words in the corpus, and the wide range of information for each word, including frequency information,
definitions, synonyms, WordNet entries, related topics, concordances (new display in iWeb), clusters,
websites that have the word as a “keyword”, and KWIC/concordance lines.

Hosting History
DomainTools tracks changes to a domain name's IP address, name server and registrar. These
events can be useful signals that may indicate more macro events, including: domain name
sales, transfers or deletions; taking a site live with new content; or a change in registration or
hosting profile.

IP Address History
Screenshot History
DomainTools captures snapshots of website homepages on regular intervals. This content is
useful for researchers to understand how a domain was used at various points in time. Due to the
relatively high storage costs of screenshot data, the coverage of screenshot histories is in most
cases not as thorough as Whois or hosting data, and this is especially true for dates early in a
domain's history.
DomainTools has 5 records collected between Apr 3, 2014 and Mar 27, 2017.
Connected Domains
Shared IP Address
DomainTools uses proprietary techniques to discover other domain names that are hosted on the
same IP address (web host) as LegalZoomtRademarkIa.com. This is a sample of up to 100
randomly-selected domains from that dataset. Access to this data provides context in cases
where knowing associated domain names has value.
The exhaustive list of connected domains by IP address is available in the Reverse IP product at
DomainTools.com.
