`
`
`(Opposer’s trademark registrations collectively referred to hereinafter as “Opposer’s Marks”).
`
`7.
`
`8.
`
`Opposer’s Marks are inherently distinctive.
`
`Opposer adopted and has continuously used a number of trademarks that include the
`
`Opposer’s Marks in commerce in connection with a wide variety of skin care goods and retails
`
`services of skin care goods well before February 10, 2020, the filing date of Applicant’s Mark, and
`
`well before Applicant’s first use of Applicant’s Mark.
`
`9.
`
`Opposer has devoted substantial time, money, and effort in establishing and maintaining a
`
`high standard of quality of goods and services provided under Opposer’s Marks.
`
`10.
`
`Opposer’s Marks have become a valuable asset of Opposer, serving as a symbol of origin
`
`and of identity for Opposer, its goods and services, and of the goodwill that is associated with
`
`those goods and services.
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`11.
`
`Opposer has standing to oppose U.S. Trademark Application No. 88/791,056 based on
`
`Opposer’s ownership of Opposer’s Marks.
`
`12.
`
`There is no issue as to priority as the applications for Opposer’s Marks were filed and
`
`registered prior to Applicant’s filing of U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 88/791,056 for
`
`Applicant’s Mark and Applicant’s claimed first use dates of Applicant’s Mark, and Opposer’s first
`
`use dates for Opposer’s Marks are earlier than the filing date and first use dates listed in U.S.
`
`Trademark Application Serial No. 88/791,056 for Applicant’s Mark.
`
`13.
`
`Applicant’s Goods are highly similar, if not identical, and related to the goods and services
`
`identified in Opposer’s Marks.
`
`14.
`
`Consumers are likely to mistakenly believe that Applicant’s Goods are sponsored by,
`
`authorized by, endorsed, affiliated with or otherwise approved by Opposer because Applicant’s
`
`Mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s Marks.
`
`15.
`
`Applicant’s Mark is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception in the minds of
`
`prospective purchasers as to the origin or source of Applicant’s Goods due to the similarity in the
`
`marks, goods, consumers, channels of trade, and other factors between Applicant’s Mark and
`
`Opposer’s Marks.
`
`16.
`
`Applicant’s alleged use of Applicant’s Mark and filing of U.S. Trademark Application
`
`Serial No. 88/791,056 is without Opposer’s consent or authorization.
`
`17.
`
`Opposer will be damaged by the registration of U.S. Trademark Application Serial No.
`
`88/791,056 and registration should be refused under 15 U.S.C. 1052(d) because Opposer has
`
`constructive priority of use and confusion is likely.
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer respectfully requests that this Opposition be sustained and
`
`registration of the mark in U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 88/791,056 for “MELK & Heart
`
`Design” be refused. Opposer submits herewith the requisite filing fee of $400.00.
