`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Barry D. Sears, Ph.D., a United States citizen, with an address of 222 Rosewood Drive,
`
`Suite 500, Danvers, Massachusetts 01923 (hereafter “Opposer” or “Dr. Sears”) believes that he
`
`will be damaged by registration of the mark shown in Application Serial No. 78/571,192 for the
`
`mark ZONER for “restaurant services, catering services, take out food services and cafeteria,” in
`
`International Class 43 on the Principal Register filed on February 19, 2005 by Roger A. Benham,
`
`a United States citizen with an address of P.O. Box 120830, San Diego, California 92112, and
`
`hereby opposes the same. As grounds for this opposition, Opposer alleges as follows:

`
`_
`
`
`FACTS
`
`1.
`
`Opposer is the owner of the trademark ZONE and other marks incorporating
`
`ZONE for health and nutrition products and services.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer uses the trademark ZONE and composite marks, all incorporating ZONE
`
`as the dominant portion thereof, such as ZONE LABS, ZONENET, ZONE CAFE, ZONE
`
`CUISINE, ZONE SKIN CARE, ZONERX, and DR. SEARS ZONE, in connection with a wide
`
`#574653
`
`

`
`variety of branded health and nutrition products and services, including print and electronic
`
`publications, educational and counseling services, meal delivery services, prepared foods,
`
`vitamins and supplements, meal replacements bars and drinks, skin care products and restaurant
`
`and cafe services.
`
`3.
`
`Opposer, Dr. Barry Sears, is the scientist and author who achieved considerable
`
`fame in connection with the lifelong hormonal and insulin control program that he first created
`
`about fifteen (15) years ago. §e_e Declaration of Barry D. Sears (“Sears Decl.”) 1] 1, attached
`
`hereto at Exhibit 1.
`
`4.
`
`Dr. Scars’ program uses food as a drug to help people control and balance their
`
`hormonal and insulin levels to achieve maximum mental productivity and as a means to
`
`improved health. Li. atfl 2.
`
`5.
`
`In 1995, Dr. Sears branded his writing, teaching and consulting on the benefits of
`
`an insulin balanced hormonal control diet with the term “ZONE.” ld_. at 1] 3.
`
`6.
`
`Dr. Sears adopted the term ZONE as his trademark to analogize the health
`
`benefits of his products and services compliant with his hormonal control program for ordinary
`
`dieters to that of the “flow” achieved by superior athletes during sports participation. L91, at 1] 4.
`
`7.
`
`The terms “flow” or “zone” have been used to denote a heightened state of
`
`consciousness during sports participation during which an athlete performs to the best of his or
`
`her ability. An article discussing this concept is attached at Exhibit 2.
`
`8.
`
`The term ZONE in Dr. Sears’ ZONE trademark and his composite marks
`
`incorporating ZONE is not used in its ordinary sense to mean “an area” -- e.g., “play zone”
`
`describing a specific area dedicated to playing.
`
`9.
`
`ZONE as used by Dr. Sears is fanciful.
`
`#574653
`
`2
`
`

`
`10.
`
`Dr. Sears is well known as the source of ZONE branded products and services.
`
`11.
`
`Dr. Sears has authored numerous ZONE branded books which are premised upon
`
`using food as a drug to control and balance hormonal and insulin levels, including The Zone,
`
`Mastering the Zone, Zone Food Blocks, The Anti-Aging Zone, A Week in the Zone, The Soy Zone,
`
`The Top One Hundred Zone Foods, The OmegaRx Zone and The Anti-Inflammatory Zone. Sears
`
`Decl. at 1] 5.
`
`12.
`
`Several of these books have appeared on The New York Times bestseller list.
`
`l_cL
`
`at 1] 6.
`
`13.
`
`Dr. Sears’ The Zone was number one on The New York Times bestseller list in
`
`1996 and remained on that list for approximately twenty (20) weeks.
`
`I_cL at 1] 7.
`
`14.
`
`More than _fi\I_e _r_n_il1i_o_n hard cover copies of Dr. Sears’ ZONE branded books have
`
`been sold in the United States alone. E, at {I 8.
`
`15.
`
`Dr. Sears’ works have been translated into 2_2 languages and are sold in at least fl
`
`foreign countries. E, at 1] 9.
`
`16.
`
`In addition to his ZONE branded books, Dr. Sears and his ZONE branded health
`
`and nutrition products and services are widely known from his numerous and frequent live and
`
`taped appearances, including seminars, conferences, radio shows, and network television
`
`interviews, throughout the country. Sears Decl. at 1] 10.
`
`17.
`
`In promoting his ZONE branded health and nutrition products and services, Dr.
`
`Sears has appeared on nationally-broadcast television shows, including The Today Show in 1996
`
`and again in January 2005, 20/20 in 1999, Good Morning America on June 9, 2000, June 15,
`
`2000 and again in May 2002, Dateline in July 2002, CBS Evening News on May 21, 2003, The
`
`#574653
`
`3
`
`

`
`Montel Williams Show on April 1, 2004 and Live With Regis and Kelly on February 2, 2005.
`
`I_d_.
`
`at 1] 1 1.
`
`18.
`
`Additionally, each year since 1998, Dr. Sears has conducted a week long ZONE
`
`branded seminar aboard a cruise ship, providing a series of presentations and demonstrations on
`
`mastering his hormonal and insulin control program. kg at 11 12.
`
`19.
`
`Since at least as early as 1998, Dr. Sears has used the trademarks ZONE, ZONE
`
`DIET, ZONE CRUISE and ZONE CONSULTANTS in connection with education and
`
`counseling services in the fields of diet, health and nutrition including, meal planning services,
`
`diet and nutrition counseling and providing information in the fields of diet, health and nutrition.
`
`1; at 11 13.
`
`20.
`
`Dr. Sears is well and favorably known throughout the United States and has built
`
`up valuable goodwill and reputation in the trademark ZONE.
`
`I_CL at 1] 14.
`
`21.
`
`The widespread recognition, fame and goodwill associated with ZONE for
`
`products and services in the health and nutrition marketplace is a result of the Opposer’s
`
`continuous marketing efforts, national media attention, the expenditure of considerable amounts
`
`of money for advertising and promotional activities and by virtue of the high quality of the
`
`Opposer’s ZONE branded products and services.
`
`22.
`
`Dr. Sears provides a wide array of health and nutrition products and services that
`
`are compliant with his hormonal control/insulin balanced program under the trademark ZONE
`
`and composite trademarks all containing ZONE as the dominant portion thereof, including, but
`
`not limited to, ZONE, ZONE CUISINE, ZONE CAFE, ZONE SKIN CARE, ZONERX, ZONE
`
`LABS, ZONENET and ZONE SHAKES (the “ZONE Family of Marks”).
`
`lg, at 11 15.
`
`#574653
`

`
`

`
`Dr. Sears’ trademark ZONE and the ZONE Family of Marks have been
`
`extensively advertised and promoted in connection with Dr. Sears’ goods and services together
`
`in such a manner as to establish the ZONE Family of Marks as a family of marks, with “ZONE”
`
`being the family surname.
`
`24.
`
`Opposer is the owner of approximately seventy (70) plus trademarks and service
`
`marks comprising or containing “ZONE” which are included in the ZONE Family of Marks for a
`
`wide array of health and nutrition products and services.
