`
`IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`In the matter of Application Serial No. 85/646,469
`by Pat Landers for the Mark: ALLEVIUM
`Filed on June 7, 2012, Published in the Oflicial Gazette on November 20, 2012
`
`BAYER HEALTHCARE LLC,
`
`Opposer,
`
`V-
`
`Opposition No.
`
`PAT LANDERS,
`Applicant.
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Bayer Healthcare LLC (“Opposer”), a Delaware limited liability company having a
`
`principal place of business at 100 Bayer Road, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania 15205, believes that it
`
`will be damaged by registration of the mark “ALLEVIUM” as shown in Application Serial No.
`
`85/646,469 for goods in International Class 3 and hereby opposes the same.
`
`As the grounds of Opposition, Opposer alleges that:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer has obtained the necessary extensions of time in which to oppose the
`
`challenged trademark following publication on November 20, 2012 in the Official Gazette.
`
`2.
`
`Pat Landers (“Applicant”) filed an application to register the mark “ALLEVIUM”
`
`on the basis of intention to use for “body and skin lotions; non-medicated skin creams; skin care
`
`preparations; sunscreens” in International Class 3 as evidenced by the publication of such mark
`
`in the Official Gazette on November 20, 2012.
`
`52551025.]
`
`

`
`3.
`
`Through its predecessors-in-interest, Opposer has, since at least as early as April
`
`25, 1988, used the mark ALEVE in connection with products related to the treatment of pain.
`
`Opposer is the owner of, among others, an incontestable registration for the trademark “ALEVE”
`
`(United States Registration No. 1,536,042, registered April 25, 1989) for “anti-inflammatory,
`
`analgesic and antipyretic pharmaceutical preparations” in Class 5 and a registration for the
`
`trademark “ALEVE” (United States Registration No. 3,287,780, registered September 4, 2007)
`
`for “pharmaceutical antitussive-cold preparations; preparations for treating colds” in Class 5.
`
`Printouts of the registration certificates and TSDR database information for these registrations
`
`are attached hereto as Opposer's Exhibit A.
`
`4.
`
`By virtue of its efforts and the expenditure of considerable sums for promotional
`
`and advertising activities and by virtue of the excellence of its goods, Opposer has gained for its
`
`mark “ALEVE” a most valuable reputation and has created, in the minds of the buying public, an
`
`exclusive association between “ALEVE” and its goods.
`
`5.
`
`Applicant’s alleged mark ALLEVIUM is confusingly similar to Opposer’s
`
`ALEVE mark in appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial impression. Upon information
`
`and belief, Applicant’s alleged mark is intended to be used for goods which are identical, similar
`
`and/or related to the goods in connection with which Opposer has used its “ALEVE” mark and
`
`are sold to substantially the same class of customers through the same channels of trade.
`
`6.
`
`Priority is not an issue. Opposer has used the “ALEVE” mark prior to the
`
`Applicant’s application date of June 7, 2012 or any date of first use Applicant can claim.
`
`7.
`
`Opposer filed its applications for “ALEVE” prior to Applicant’s filing date of the
`
`opposed application.
`
`52551025.]
`
`2
`
`

`
`8.
`
`Use by Applicant of the alleged trademark “ALLEVIUM” is without Opposer's
`
`consent or permission.
`
`9.
`
`The mark that Applicant seeks to register so resembles Opposer’s “ALEVE” mark
`
`as to be likely, when used on or in connection with Applicant’s goods, to cause confusion, or to
`
`cause mistake, or to deceive. Purchasers and prospective purchasers are likely to falsely believe
`
`that Applicant’s services offered under Applicant’s Mark are sponsored, endorsed, or approved
`
`by Opposer, or are in some way affiliated, connected or associated with Opposer. Furthermore,
`
`any defect, objection or
`
`fault
`
`found with Applicant’s goods offered and sold under
`
`its
`
`“ALLEVIUM” mark would be likely to reflect upon and seriously injure the reputation that
`
`Opposer has established for its goods offered under its “ALEVE” mark. Registration therefore
`
`should be refused under 15 U.S.C. § l052(d).
`
`10.
`
`If Applicant is granted the registration herein opposed, it would thereby obtain at
`
`least a prima facie exclusive right to the use of its alleged mark. Such registration would be a
`
`source of damage and injury to Opposer.
`
`WHEREFORE, Bayer Healthcare LLC prays that Application Serial No. 85/646,469 be
`
`rejected, and that registration of the mark therein be refused and that the opposition be sustained.

`52551025.]
