`
`Applicant’s Mark so resembles Opposer’s SHURFINE Marks as to be likely,
`
`when used On or in connection with Applicant’s Goods, to cause confusion, mistake or to deceive
`
`within the meaning of Section 2((1) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S;.C. § 1052021).
`
`‘ 7.
`
`Opposer will be damaged by the registration sought by Applicant insofar as;
`
`Applicant will obtain statutory rights in Applicant’s SURGROUP mark in violation and
`
`derogation of Opposer’s prior and superior rights. in Opposed-s SHURFINE Marks.
`
`8.
`
`Based On the foregoing, registration ofthe SURGROUP mark, as shown by U.S.
`
`Trademark Application Serial No. 87/159,182 for Applicant’s Goods is likely to cause injury and
`
`damage to Opposer.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer respectfully requests that registration of the mark SURGROUP,
`
`as shown by US. Trademark Application "Serial No. 871’159,1 82, be denied under Section 2(d) of
`
`the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), and that this Notice of Opposition be sustained.
