`Application Serial No. 87/580,829
`Filed: August 23, 2017

`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`
`
`
`Bayer HealthCare LLC (“Opposer”), a Delaware limited liability company having an
`
`office at 100 Bayer Road, Pittsburgh, PA 15205, believes it will be damaged by registration of
`
`the mark ALIVAA as shown in Application Serial No. 87/580,829 for goods applied for in
`
`International Class 10 and files this opposition pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.104.
`
`
`
`As grounds for opposition, it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer and its predecessors-in-interest have for many years been engaged in the
`
`manufacture, distribution, advertising, and sale of products in the pain treatment and relief field.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer, through its predecessors-in-interest, has used the ALEVE mark in
`
`interstate commerce in the United States in connection with products for the treatment of pain
`
`since at least as early as April 1988; in connection with treating colds since as early as July 2000;
`
`for providing healthcare information on pain relief since as early as August 2010; and in
`
`connection with electrical stimulation apparatus for nerves since as early as June 2016.
`

`

`
`

`

`3.
`
`Opposer is the owner of numerous federal registrations for the ALEVE mark,
`
`including:

`
`1,536,042 April 25, 1989
`
`information for the registrations are attached as Exhibit A.
`
`5.
`
`Opposer’s Registration Nos. 1,536,042, 3,287,780 and 3,719,030 are
`
`incontestable pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1065.
`
`6.
`
`Through the promotional and advertising activities of Opposer and its
`
`predecessors-in-interest, Opposer has gained for the ALEVE mark a valuable reputation and
`
`goodwill and has created, in the minds of consumers, an exclusive association between ALEVE
`
`and its goods.
`
`7.
`
`Upon information and belief, 10093939 Canada Corp. (“Applicant”) is a
`
`corporation of Canada having an address at 55 Village Centre Place, North York, Ontario,
`
`L4Z1V9, Canada.
`

`

`
`

`

`8.
`
`Applicant applied to register its proposed ALIVAA mark on August 23, 2017,
`
`based on a bona fide intention to use the mark in commerce under 15 U.S.C. § 1051(b), for
`
`“Massage apparatus; Massage apparatus and instruments; Massage apparatus for massaging face;
`
`Massage apparatus for eyes; Massaging apparatus for personal use; Electric massage apparatus
`
`for household use; Electric massage appliances, namely, electric vibrating massager” in
`
`International Class 10.
`
`9.
`
`This Notice of Opposition is timely filed as Applicant’s proposed ALIVAA mark,
`
`as Application Serial No. 87/580,829, was published in the Official Gazette for opposition on
`
`January 16, 2018.
`
`10.
`
`Opposer has used its ALEVE mark long prior to Applicant’s application filing
`
`date of August 23, 2017.
`
`11.
`
`Applicant’s proposed ALIVAA mark is similar in sound, appearance, meaning
`
`and commercial impression to Opposer’s ALEVE mark.
`
`12.
`
`Applicant’s proposed ALIVAA mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s ALEVE
`
`mark.
`
`13.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant’s proposed mark is intended to be used
`
`for goods and services which are identical, similar, related and/or overlapping to the goods with
`
`which Opposer has used and registered its ALEVE mark.
`
`14.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant’s goods and Opposer’s goods are likely to
`
`be offered in similar channels of trade to the same class of consumers.
`
`15.
`
`Upon information and belief, the conditions under which and consumers to whom
`
`sales are made will be similar.
`

`
`3
`
`

`

`16.
`
`Applicant’s goods and services are of the type that are within Opposer’s normal
`
`and logical zone of expansion, to the extent that Applicant’s goods and services do not directly
`
`overlap with Opposer’s goods.
`
`17.
`
`Opposer’s ALEVE mark is distinctive and famous throughout the United States,
`
`and the ALEVE mark became famous prior to the filing of Applicant’s application.
`
`18.
`
`Applicant’s use and application to register its proposed ALIVAA mark is without
`
`Opposer’s consent or permission.
`
`19.
`
`In view of the similarities of Applicant’s proposed ALIVAA mark with Opposer’s
`
`ALEVE mark, the similarities of the Applicant’s goods and services and Opposer’s goods, and
`
`the similar or identical channels of trade and purchasers, registration of Applicant’s proposed
`
`ALIVAA mark is likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive.
`
`20.
`
`Purchasers are likely to believe that Applicant’s goods and services 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.
`
`21.
`
`Applicant’s proposed ALIVAA mark is likely to cause dilution by blurring and
`
`dilution by tarnishment of Opposer’s ALEVE mark and lessen the capacity of Opposer’s
`
`ALEVE mark to distinguish and identify Opposer’s goods from those of others.
`
`22.
`
`If Applicant is granted the registration for the ALIVAA mark, it would obtain at
`
`least a prima facie exclusive right to use of the applied-for mark, which would be a further
`
`source of damage to Opposer.
