`IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE
`
`BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`In the matter of Application Serial No. 86/336,866
`By Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. for the Mark: ALEVICYN
`Filed on July 14, 2014, Published in the ()_[)‘ic'ial Gazette on September 23, 2014
`
`BAYER IAIEALTI-ICARE LLC,
`
`Opposer,
`
`V-
`
`Opposition No.
`
`OCULUS INNOVATIVE SCIENCES, INC.,
`
`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 “ALEVICYN” as shown in Application Serial No.
`
`86/336,866 for goods in International Class 5 (the “Application”) and hereby opposes the same.
`
`As the grounds of Opposition, Opposer alleges that:
`
`I.
`
`Oculus Innovative Sciences, Inc. (“Applicant”) filed an application to register the mark
`
`“ALEVICYN” on the basis of intention to use for “medicated topical solution and hydrogel
`
`preparations for
`
`the relief of pain, burning and itching associated with dermatoses” in
`
`International Class 5, as evidenced by the publication of such mark in the Official Gazetle on
`
`September 23, 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 anti-inflammatories, analgesics, and other
`
`preparations and products related to pain treatment and pain relief, and in connection with
`
`410227771
`
`

`
`preparations for treating colds since as early as 2000. Opposer is the owner of, among others,
`
`two incontestable United States federal registrations for the trademark “ALEVE” for use in
`
`connection with “anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic pharmaceutical preparations” in
`
`Class 5 (Registration No. 1,536,042, registered April 25, 1989) and “pharmaceutical antitussive-
`
`cold preparations; preparations for treating colds” in Class 5 (Registration No. 3,287,780,
`
`registered September 4, 2007), as well as a United States federal registration for the trademark
`
`“ALEVE” for use in connection with “healthcare information services on pain relief, namely
`
`providing an online resource of information on joint, muscle and back pain, headache pain and
`
`osteoarthritis, including treatment options and tips” in International Class 44 (Registration No.
`
`4,459,303, registered December 31, 2013). Printouts of the TSDR database information for these
`
`registrations are attached as Exhibit A.
`
`3.
`
`By virtue of promotional and advertising activities and the excellence of its
`
`goods, Opposer has gained for its “ALEVE” mark 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 ofJuly 14, 2014, or any date of first use Applicant can claim.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer liled its applications for “ALEVE” prior to the filing date of the opposed
`
`application.
`
`41022777.:
`
`2
`
`

`
`7.
`
`Use by Applicant of the alleged trademark “ALEVICYN” is without Opposer’s
`
`consent or pennission.
`
`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 and the goods
`
`offered under Opposer’s “ALEVE” mark. Furthermore, any defect, objection or fault found with
`
`Applicant’s goods offered and sold under its “ALEVICYN” 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 and services of Opposer. The “ALEVE” mark
`
`became famous prior to the filing of Applicant’s application for “ALEVICYN.”
`
`10.
`
`The trademark proposed for registration by Applicant, namely, “ALEVICYN,” is
`
`likely to cause dilution by blurring and dilution by tarnishment of Opposer’s “ALEVE” mark,
`
`and also reduces the capacity of the famous “ALEVE” mark to identify the goods of Opposer.
`
`1 1.
`
`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.
`
`WI-IEREFORE, Bayer Healthcare LLC prays that Application Serial No. 86/336,866 be
`
`rejected, and that registration of the mark therein be refused and that the opposition be sustained.
