[edit] Disputes

In 2005, Stoller was denied four trademark applications for the term "Stitch 'N Bitch" because of being confusingly similar to the service marked term Stitch & Bitch Cafe by Sew Fast/Sew Easy. In November 2005, Stoller filed a petition with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to cancel Sew Fast/Sew Easy's service mark Stitch and Bitch Café.^[1] In August 2006, Stoller's four trademark applications were reinstated.^[2] As of 2007, both Stoller's applications^[2] and the cancellation proceedings on Sew Fast/Sew Easy's mark are suspended while the parties engage in settlement discussions.^[3] Stoller and Sew Fast Sew Easy have resolved their trademark dispute as of 2008.
