`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Sir:
`
`CDF‘f’
`In the matter of the application for registration of the trademark CELLEGESIC of Cellegiyj
`
`-I J
`.3
`
`Pharmaceuticals (hereinafter referred to as “Applicant”) shown in Application
`
`Serial No. 76—360,690
`
`filed January 18, 2002, for “pharmaceutical preparations and ointrnents for the treatment of rectal
`
`conditions, diseases and disorders” and published for opposition in the Official
`
`Gazette of October 22,
`
`2002.
`
`Wyeth, a corporation of the State of Delaware, with offices at Five Giralda Farms, Madison,
`
`New Jersey 07940 (hereinafter referred to as "Opposer") believes that
`
`it will be damaged by
`
`registration of the mark shown in said Application Serial No. 76-360,690, and hereby opposes the
`
`same.
`
`As grounds for opposition, it is alleged that:
`
`
`
`
`
`1.
`
`Opposer
`
`is now, and for many years has been, engaged in the business of
`
`manufacturing and selling veterinary and human pharmaceutical healthcare products, including oral
`
`and topical products. Opposer's products are sold in commerce throughout the United States.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 2,300,586 registered on
`
`December 14, 1999, for the mark ETOGESIC, for "non-steroidal anti-inflammatory preparation for use
`
`in animals, in Class 5." This registration is currently in full force and effect. A copy is attached hereto
`
`as Exhibit A.
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`Opposer and Applicant are competitors.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant was aware of Opposer's aforesaid ETOGESIC
`
`trademark registration at the time it filed its Application to register CELLEGESIC.
`
`5.
`
`Opposer's aforesaid registration was issued prior to any date of first use that can be
`
`relied upon by the Applicant.
`
`6.
`
`The trademark sought to be registered by the Applicant is substantially similar in sound
`
`and appearance to Opposer's trademarks and, therefore, is likely to be confused with and mistaken for
`
`Opposer's trademarks.
`
`7.
`
`The Applicant's mark is so similar to Opposer's trademarks as to cause confiision and
`
`lead to deception as to the source of origin of Applicant's goods and/or Opposer's goods.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer prays that said Application Serial No. 76-360,690 be rejected, that no
`
`registration be issued thereon to Applicant, and that this Opposition be sustained in favor of the
`
`Opposer.
`
`This Notice of Opposition is filed in triplicate.
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposer requests that the requisite opposition fee be charged to Deposit Account No. 01-1425
`
`of Wyeth.
`
`The undersigned, Wyeth, hereby appoints Steven J. Baron, a member of the Bar of the State of
`
`New York, its attorney in the matter of the above-identified opposition, with full pbwer to act, with full
`
`power of substitution and revocation, to prosecute said opposition, to transact all business with the
`
`Patent and Trademark Office and elsewhere in connection with this Opposition, and to receive all
`
`official communications relating to same.
`
`It
`
`is further requested that such correspondence be
`
`addressed to Steven J. Baron, Esquire, Wyeth, Five Giralda Farms, Madison, New Jersey 07940.
