DISCUSSION

I.

Ms. Fischer filed her application for registration of the mark CHLOE VEVRIER on May 19, 2003. Subsequently, Thomas Anderson and Appellee Quad International, Incorporated (“Quad”) both filed oppositions to the application. On August 10, 2005, in the Anderson opposition proceeding, the Board granted Anderson’s motion for judgment on the pleadings, thereby (i) sustaining Anderson’s opposition and (ii) refusing registration of the mark. Fischer v. Anderson, Opposition No. 91161452 (TTAB Aug. 10, 2005). On August 3, 2006, the Board denied Ms. Fischer’s motion, pursuant to Fed.R.Civ.P. 60(b), for relief from judgment. Fischer v. Anderson, Opposition No. 91161452 (TTAB Aug. 3, 2006) . Today, in Fischer v. Anderson, 250 Fed.Appx. 359, 2007 WL 2947324 (Fed.Cir. 2007) (“Anderson”), we have affirmed the Board’s denial of Ms. Fischer’s motion for relief from judgment in the Anderson opposition.

On November 22, 2005, the Board issued an order in the Quad opposition directing Ms. Fischer to show cause why judgment should not be entered against her based upon the August 10, 2005 order granting judgment on the pleadings in the Anderson opposition. Fischer v. Quad Int’l, Inc., Opposition No. 91160119 (TTAB *984Nov. 22, 2006). On August 3, 2006, having found her response to the November 22 order insufficient, the Board entered judgment against Ms. Fischer in the Quad opposition based upon its ruling that same day denying her motion for relief from judgment in the Fischer opposition. Relief Decision. This appeal followed. We have jurisdiction over Ms. Fischer’s appeal pursuant to 28 U.S.C. § 1295(a)(4)(B).

II.

In this appeal, Ms. Fischer has not advanced any arguments different from those presented to us in her appeal of the Board’s decision in the Anderson opposition. She thus recognizes that the result in this appeal is controlled by our disposition of that appeal. As noted above, we have today affirmed the decision of the Board in the Anderson opposition. Therefore, based upon our decision today in Anderson, we now affirm the decision of the Board in the Quad opposition.

Each party shall bear its own costs.
