`C|inica|—Grade Neuromodulation
`
`Now offered by Nuraleve
`
`Our programs are based on a fonn of neuromodulation, known as transcranial direct current stimulation (tDCS)_ Nuraleve has
`
`developed a platfonn technology and service applying tDCS to reduce pain symptoms associated with many chronic pain
`
`indications, with studies showing effectiveness for such indications as fibromyalgia, chronic headaches (including migraines), and
`
`painful diabetic neuropathy_ It has also been shown effective in reducing cravings.
`
`This technique involves the delivery of a weak electrical current to the brain via surface {i_e_, scalp} electrodes, and affects brain
`
`activity by modulating the threshold of the neuronal resting membrane potential. The resting state potential can be hyperpolanzed by
`
`cathodal stimulation (causing a decrease in cortical excitability) or depolarized by anodal stimulation (resulting in an increase in
`
`cortical excitability].

`Mechanism of action

`
`Chronic pain has been shown to result in |ong—|asting brain
`
`A promising feature of tDCS is its ability to induce

`changes, both structural and functional, at both cortical and
`
`neuroplasticity, engaging some of the same systems (e_g_,
`
`subcortical levels, including somatotopic reorganization,
`
`dopamine, glutamate) that figure prominently in the pathological
`
`sustained increases in neuronal excitability, and decreased

`
`BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`
`In the matter of Application Serial No. 86/388,731
`By Nuraleve Inc. for the Mark: NURALEVE
`Filed on September 08, 2014, Published in the Official Gazette on August 30, 2016
`
`
`
`Opposition No. ______________
`
`
`
`
`BAYER HEALTHCARE LLC,
`
`Opposer,
`
`
`v.
`
`
`NURALEVE, 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 “NURALEVE” as shown in Application Serial No.
`
`86/388,731 for goods in International Classes 9, 10, and 44 (the “Application”) and hereby
`
`opposes the same.
`
`As the grounds of Opposition, Opposer alleges that:
`
`1.
`
`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, in
`
`connection with preparations for treating colds since as early as 2000, and in connection with
`
`healthcare information services on pain relief since as early as 2010. Opposer is the owner of,
`
`among others, incontestable registrations for the trademark “ALEVE” (United States Registration
`
`No. 1,536,042, registered April 25, 1989) for “anti-inflammatory, analgesic and antipyretic
`
`pharmaceutical preparations” in International Class 5 and “ALEVE” (United States Registration
`
`DMSLIBRARY01\29804850.v1
`
`

`

`
`
`No. 3,287,780, registered September 4, 2007) for “pharmaceutical antitussive-cold preparations;
`
`preparations for treating colds” in International Class 5. Opposer is also the owner of a registration
`
`for the trademark “ALEVE” (United States Registration No. 4,459,303, registered December 31,
`
`2013) for “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. Printouts of the TSDR database information for these
`
`registrations are attached as Exhibit A.
`
`2.
`
`By virtue of its promotional and advertising activities and the excellence of its
`
`goods, Opposer has gained for its mark “ALEVE” a most valuable reputatio
