`
`IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`In the matter of Application Serial No. 86/099,953
`By Jiangsu Lefan Capsule Co., Ltd. for the Mark: LEVECAPS
`Filed on October 24, 2013, Published in the Official Gazette on April 8, 2014
`
`BAYER HEALTHCARE LLC,
`
`Opposer,
`
`V-
`
`Opposition No.
`
`JIANGSU LEFAN CAPSULE CO., LTD.,
`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 “LEVECAPS” as shown in Application Serial No.
`
`86/099,953 for goods in International Class 5 (the “Application”) and hereby opposes the same.
`
`As the grounds of Opposition, Opposer alleges that:
`
`1.
`
`Jiangsu Lefan Capsule Co., Ltd. (“Applicant”) filed a use-based application to
`
`register the mark “LEVECAPS” for “capsules sold empty for pharmaceuticals; gelatin capsules
`
`sold empty for pharmaceuticals; nutritional supplements in the form of capsules; unit dose
`
`capsules sold empty for pharmaceutical use” in International Class 5 as evidenced by the
`
`publication of such mark in the Oflicial Gazette on April 8, 2014.
`
`2.
`
`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,
`
`578484] 5.1
`
`

`
`and in connection with preparations for treating colds since as early as 2000. 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 TSDR database information for these registrations are attached as Exhibit A.
`
`3.
`
`By virtue of its promotional and advertising activities and 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.
`
`4.
`
`Applicant’s alleged mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s ALEVE mark in
`
`appearance, sound, connotation, and commercial
`
`impression. Upon information and belief,
`
`Applicant’s proposed 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.
`
`5.
`
`Priority is not an issue. Opposer has used the “ALEVE” mark prior to the
`
`Applicant’s application date of October 24, 2013, and prior to the claimed first use date of
`
`October 18, 2013, contained in the opposed application.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer filed its applications for “ALEVE” prior to the filing date and claimed
`
`first use date of the opposed application.
`
`7.
`
`Use by Applicant of the alleged trademark “LEVECAPS” is without Opposer’s
`
`consent or permission.
`
`57848415.!
`
`2
`
`

`
`8.
`
`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 goods 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 “LEVECAPS”
`
`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).
`
`9.
`
`The mark “ALEVE” is distinctive and famous throughout the United States, and
`
`has become closely associated with the goods of Opposer. The “ALEVE” mark became famous
`
`prior to the filing of Applicant’s application for “LEVECAPS.”
`
`10.
`
`The trademark proposed for registration by Applicant, namely, “LEVECAPS,” is
`
`likely to cause dilution by blurring and dilution by tamishment of Opposer’s “ALEVE” mark,
`
`and also reduces the capacity of the famous “ALEVE” mark to identify the goods of Opposer.
`
`11.
`
`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. 86/099,953 be
`
`rejected, and that registration of the mark therein be refused and that the opposition be sustained.
