`IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`In re Ser. No. 85/401851 - HEALIXADERM
`
`Published January 31, 2012
`
`JOHNSON & JOHNSON,
`
`v.
`
`DERMAL LIFE, LLC:
`
`Opposer,
`
`Applicant.
`
`:
`
`:
`
`Opposition No.
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`JOHNSON & JOHNSON, a New Jersey corporation, having a principal place of business
`
`at One Johnson & Johnson Plaza, New Brunswick, New Jersey 08933-7001 (“Opposer”),
`
`believes that it will be damaged by the registration of Ser; No. 85/401851 ~ HEALIXADERM for
`
`“anti-inflammatory ointments; medicated lotions for face and body; medicated skin preparation
`
`for use in treating sunburns, facial wrinkles, "dry skin, burns, rashes and wounds; medicated sun
`
`block; medicated sun care preparations; medicated sun screen; pharmaceutical preparations for
`
`wounds; pharmaceutical skin lotions” in class 5; filed August 18, 2011 by Dermal Life, LLC, a
`
`Florida limited liability company having an address at 4951 Tampa West Boulevard, Tampa,
`
`Florida, 33634 (“Applicant”), and hereby opposes the same pursuant to Section 13 of the
`Trademark Act of 1946 (15 U.S.C. §l063).
`0
`
`As grounds for the opposition Opposer states:
`
`1. Opposer is world famous as a leader in the design, manufacture and marketing of wound
`
`care, sun protection, and skin care products, and a wide variety of other products and
`
`services in the fields of medicine, pharmaceuticals, healthcare, personal care and nutrition.
`
`

`
`2. Opposer owns the following application:
`
`Ser. No. 77/900,162 — HELIDERM for blend of ingredients, namely, nutrients,
`sold as an integral component of an antibiotic for the treatment of general and
`local bacterial and Virus infections; blend of ingredients, namely, nutrients
`sold as an integral component of medicated lip care preparations, in Class 5;
`filed December 23, 2009; allowed on June 21, 2011.
`
`A photocopy of the TARR and TESS records for the foregoing application is attached as
`Exhibit A.
`
`3. Opposer’s filing date for application Ser. No. 77/900,162 — HELIDERM predates the filing
`
`date of Applicant’s application Ser. No. 85/401,851 — HEALIXADERM by nearly nineteen
`
`(19) months.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant made no use in commerce of the mark
`
`HEALIXADERM in the United States prior to the December 23, 2009 filing date of
`
`Opposer’s application Ser. No. 77/900,162.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant has made no use in commerce of the
`
`HEALIXADERM mark in the United States for the goods covered by Ser. No. 85/401,851
`
`or any other goods or services.
`
`Applicant’s HEALIXADERM mark is substantially similar to Opposer’s HELIDERM mark
`
`in appearance, sound and commercial impression.
`
`The goods on which Opposer intends to use the HELIDERM mark and the goods for which
`
`Applicant seeks to register the HEALIXADERM mark are highly related.
`
`The goods on which Opposer intends to use the HELIDERM mark and the goods for which
`
`Applicant seeks to register the HEALIXADERM mark are likely to be sold or rendered
`
`through the same channels of trade.
`
`

`
`9. The goods on which Opposer intends to use the HELIDERM mark and the goods for which
`
`Applicant seeks to register the HEALIXADERM mark are likely to be sold or rendered to
`
`the same class of purchasers.
`
`10. The use and registration by Applicant of the HEALIXADERM mark for the goods identified
`
`in Ser. No. 85/401,851 is likely to cause confusion, mistake or deception by having the
`
`public erroneously assume or believe that the goods emanate from Opposer, or are in some
`
`other way associated or connected with Opposer’s prior-filed HELIDERM mark, all
`
`to
`
`Opposer’s irreparable damage.
`
`For the reasons set forth above, Opposer believes and believing asserts that it will be
`
`damaged by the registration of Ser. No. 85/401,851 - HEALIXADERM. Accordingly, Opposer
`
`prays that
`
`this Opposition be sustained, and that Applicant be refused registration of the
`
`HEALIXADERM mark for the goods set forth in application Ser. No. 85/401,851.
`
`The $300.00 filing fee is submitted herewith. Should additional fees be required please
`
`charge them to the deposit account of Opposer’s counsel, No. 50-0573.

`Respectfully submitted,
