`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`ASICS CORPORATION (“Opposer”) is a corporation Organized and existing
`1.
`under the laws of Japan having a principal place of business at 1-1, Minatojima—Nakamachi 7
`Chome, Chuo—Ku, Kobe 650-8555 JAPAN;
`
`Upon information and belief, the Applicant Mitchellace, Inc. (“Applicant”) is a
`2.
`Ohio corporation having a place of business at 830 Murray Street, Portsmouth, Ohio 45662-
`4515.
`
`it will be damaged by the registration of Applicant’s
`Opposer believes that
`3.
`Application Serial No. 78/856,329 for GELAIR as it relates to goods in International Class 25
`for insoles and hereby opposes same.
`
`numerous U.S. Trademark Registrations
`of
`owner
`the
`is
`Opposer
`4.
`(“Registrations”), including Registration No. 1,877,669 for GEL for athletic shoes and sandals,
`
`Page 1 of 4
`
`ME1\6D07920.1
`
`

`
`which was first used as early as April 25, 1986 (hereinafter “GEL Mark”). This registration is
`incontestable. A copy of the US. Patent and Trademark Office's TARR printout of this
`registration is attached as EXHIBIT A.
`
`Opposer is the owner of numerous other U.S. Trademark Registrations for marks
`5.
`that include the term “GEL” (the “GEL Marks”). These Registrations are listed in EXHIBIT B.
`TARR printouts of each of these Opposer’s Registrations are also included in EXHIBIT B.
`
`Opposer’s GEL Mark and GEL Marks were used, and the Registrations were
`6.
`issued, for the goods indicated therein, on the dates indicated. Many of these Registrations were
`based on applications filed in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office on dates prior to April 7,
`2006, the filing date of the Applicant’s intent-to-use based application, or were based on dates of
`use prior to such date. The Registrations of Opposer are all valid and existing and are prima
`facie evidence of Opposer’s exclusive rights to use these marks in commerce on the goods
`specified in these Registrations.
`
`Opposer has been and is now using numerous other marks which include the term
`7.
`GEL in connection with the sale of footwear and shoes. Opposer has filed trademark
`applications for such marks which are listed in EXHIBIT C. The U.S. Patent and Trademark
`Office’s TARR printouts of each of these Applications are also included in EXHIBIT C.
`
`Opposer uses and has used numerous other marks that include the term GEL.
`8.
`Attached as EXHIBIT D is a list of some of such marks that are in use, or have been used, by
`Opposer.
`
`Opposer’s use of its GEL Mark and GEL Marks has been continuous since its
`9.
`date of first use and the mark has not been abandoned. Opposer’s use of a family of GEL marks
`(marks that include the term “GEL” including, but not limited to some or all of the GEL marks
`set forth in Exhibits A—D) has been continuous since long prior to Applicant’s filing date of its
`intent-to-use based application. These marks of Opposer are symbolic of the extensive good will
`and consumer recognition built up by Opposer through substantial amounts of time and effort in
`advertising promoting and selling its goods under these marks. The GEL Mark, GEL Marks and
`family of GEL marks are composed and used in such a way that the purchasing public associates
`not only the individual marks, but the common “GEL” characteristic of the family, with
`Opposer, ASICS Corporation.
`
`Opposer uses its GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family of GEL marks in connection
`10.
`with the sale, inter a_li_a, of shoes, athletic shoes, sneakers, and footwear. Additionally, Opposer
`has sold inner soles. TARR printouts of registrations for marks owned by Opposer that relate to
`these products are listed in EXHIBIT E.

`

`
`COUNT ONE
`
`Likelihood of Confusion
`
`ll.
`through 10.
`
`Opposer repeats and realleges each and every allegation set forth in paragraphs 1
`
`In view of the similarity between Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family
`12.
`of GEL marks, and Applicant’s mark, and the related nature of the goods of the respective
`parties, Applicant's mark so resembles Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family of GEL
`marks, which were previously used in the United States and not abandoned, as to be likely to
`cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive. Because inserts and inner soles are
`commonly used with footwear, including athletic shoes, the goods are closely related.
`
`The granting of a trademark registration for GELAIR to Applicant would be
`13.
`contrary to Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, l5 U.S.C. l052(d), and would violate or diminish
`the prior and superior rights of Opposer in its GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family of GEL marks.
`
`Opposer will be damaged if Application Serial No. 78/856,329 should be granted
`14.
`because Applicant will obtain statutory rights in the designation GELAIR in violation and
`derogation of the established prior rights of Opposer.
`
`COUNT TWO
`
`Dilution
`
`15.
`through 14.
`
`Opposer repeats and realleges each and every allegation set forth in paragraphs l
`
`In view of the strength of Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family of GEL
`16.
`marks, the duration and extent of Opposer’s use and advertising of its GEL_Mark, GEL Marks
`and family of GEL marks, the nationwide use of Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family
`of GEL marks, and the degree of recognition of Opposer’s marks, Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL
`Marks and family of GEL marks have become famous. Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and
`family of GEL marks were famous prior to the filing date of Applicant’s application for the
`GELAIR mark.
`
`Applicant’s GELAIR mark and application are likely to cause, and will cause,
`17.
`dilution of the distinctive value of Opposer’s GEL Mark, GEL Marks and family of GEL marks
`under Section 43(0) of the Lanham Act of 1946, as amended, 15 U.S.C. 1125(0).
`
`Opposer will be damaged if Application Serial No. 78/856,329 should be granted
`18.
`because Applicant will obtain statutory rights in the designation GELAIR in violation and
`derogation of the established prior rights of Opposer.
`
`Page 3 of 4
`
`ME1\6007920.1
`
`

`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer prays that said Application Serial No. 78/856,329 be rejected,
`that no registration be issued thereon to Applicant, and that this opposition be sustained in favor
`of Opposer.
