`
`COUNTERCLAIM FOR
`
`CANCELLATION OF U.S. REG. NO. 1,777,615
`
`Counterclaimant Lev Pharmacueticals, Inc., herein referred to as “Applicant”,
`
`hereby petitions for cancellation of U.S. Registration No. 1,777,615 on the following grounds:
`
`GROUND I:
`
`FRAUD
`
`33.
`
`Upon information and belief, LEO Pharma A/S, herein referred to as
`
`“Opposer”, is guilty of fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office with respect to its pleaded
`
`U.S. Registration No. 1,777,615 for the mark LEO (the LEO Registration), which, on
`
`information and belief, is invalid because at the time that a Combined Declaration of Use in
`
`Commerce and Application for Renewal of Registration of Mark Under Sections 8 & 9 was
`
`executed and filed in support of the LEO registration, the mark covered by the LEO Registration
`
`was not then in use in commerce in the United States on or in connection with all of the goods
`
`recited in the LEO Registration.
`
`34.
`
`Upon information and belief, the LEO Registration incorporates the
`
`following identification of goods: pharmaceutical preparations; namely, antibiotic, antibacterial,
`
`diuretic, antihypertensive, vitamin, mineral supplement, hormone, anti-inflammatory, analgesic,
`
`anticoagulant, anesthetic, and cytostatic agent preparations.
`
`KL3 2666-417.1

`
`

`
`
`
`35.
`
`Upon information and belief, on June 18, 2003, Ernst Lunding, President,
`
`CEO of LEO Pharma A/S, signed a Combined Declaration of Use in Commerce and Application
`
`for Renewal of Registration of Mark Under Sections 8 & 9 in support of the LEO Registration
`
`(the “LEO Combined Declaration”). A copy of the LEO Combined Declaration as posted on the
`
`Trademark Document Retrieval portal of the United States Patent and Trademark Office website
`
`(www.uspto.gov) is attached as Exhibit A.
`
`36.
`
`The LEO Combined Declaration states that “The Owner, and through its
`
`predecessor in interest, is using the mark in commerce on or in connection with all goods listed
`
`in the existing registration”
`
`37.
`
`The LEO Combined Declaration states that “The Owner, and through its
`
`predecessor in interest, is using the mark in commerce on or in connection with the goods
`
`identified in the Certificate of Registration, unless modified above, as evidenced by the attached
`
`specimen showing the mark as currently used in commerce.”
`
`38.
`
`There were no modifications noted in the LEO Combined Declaration,
`
`thereby confirming Owner’s representation that it was using the mark covered by the LEO
`
`Registration on or in connection with all goods identified in the LEO Registration.
`
`39.
`
`Roger W. Herrell and the law firm of Dann, Dorfman, Herrell & Skillman,
`
`P.C. were appointed as attorneys in the Power of Attorney for Opposer in the LEO Combined
`
`Declaration.
`
`40.
`
`Upon information and belief, Roger W. Herrell was an officer of Opposer
`
`at the time that the LEO Combined Declaration was signed and filed.
`
`41.
`
`Upon information and belief, Dann, Dorfman, Herrell & Skillman, P.C.
`
`provided advice to Opposer in connection with the LEO Combined Declaration.
`
`KL3 2666417,]
`
`

`
`42.
`
`Upon information and belief, on June 18, 2003 Opposer was not using the
`
`mark LEO, which is the subject of U.S. Reg. No. 1,777,615, in commerce (as that term is defined
`
`in 15 U.S.C. § 1127) in the United States on certain of the goods listed in U.S. Reg. No.
`
`1,777,615, such as (at least) analgesic preparations and anesthetic preparations.
`
`43.
`
`Upon information and belief, on June 23, 2003 Opposer was not using the
`
`mark LEO, which is the subject of U.S. Reg. No. 1,777,615, in commerce (as that term is defined
`
`in 15 U.S.C. § 1127) in the United States on certain of the goods listed in U.S. Reg. No.
`
`1,777,615, such as (at least) analgesic preparations and anesthetic preparations.
`
`44.
`
`Upon information and belief, Dann, Dorfman, Herrell & Skillman, P.C.
`
`filed, on behalf of Opposer, the LEO Combined Declaration with the United States Patent and
`
`Trademark Office on June 23, 2003.
`
`45.
`
`Upon information and belief, Opposer knew or should have known at the
`
`time of executing and filing the LEO Combined Declaration that the registered mark was not in
`
`use in commerce on all of the goods identified in the above-mentioned registration, and
`
`accordingly that the statement that the registered mark was in use with all such goods was false.
`
`46.
`
`Upon information and belief, Opposer’s false statement as described in the
`
`allegations of Paragraphs 36-45 constitutes a material misrepresentation of fact.
`
`47.
`
`As set forth in the above allegations, Opposer committed fraud with
`
`respect to U.S. Reg. No. 1,777,615.
`
`48.
`
`Applicant is damaged by the LEO Registration’s assertion against it in
`
`these proceedings.
`
`49.
`
`Accordingly, the LEO Registration should be cancelled.
`
`KL3 2666417.]
`
`

`
`GROUND II:
`
`ABANDONMENT
`
`50.
`
`Applicant repeats and realleges the allegations of the foregoing paragraphs
`
`and incorporates the same by reference as though fully restated herein.
`
`51.
`
`Upon information and belief, Opposer has never used or has discontinued
`
`use of the mark LEO, which is the subject of U.S. Reg. No. 1,777,615, in commerce (as that tenn
`
`is defined by 15 U.S.C. § 1127) in the United States on certain of the goods listed in U.S. Reg.
`
`No. 1,777,615, such as (at least) analgesic preparations and anesthetic preparations.
`
`52.
`
`Upon information and belief, Opposer’s omission to use, or
`
`discontinuance of use of, the mark LEO which is the subject of U.S. Reg. No. 1,777,615, as
`
`referred to in the preceding paragraph has been with intent not to make or resume such use (as
`
`can be inferred from the surrounding circumstances) and constitutes an abandonment of such
`
`mark and the registration directed thereto.
`
`53.
`
`Applicant is damaged by the LEO Registration’s assertion against it in
`
`these proceedings.
`
`54.
`
`Accordingly, the LEO Registration should be cancelled.

`Sections 8 & 9 was executed and filed in support of the LEO and Design Registration, the
`
`relevant mark was not then in use in commerce in the United States on or in connection with all
