`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`
`
`
`Opposer, Vitaminerals LLC, a California Limited Liability Company, having a business
`
`address of 1979 Potrero Grande Drive #A, Monterey Park, California 91755 believes that it is
`
`being damaged by Applicant Integrity Alliance Inc.’s U.S. Trademark Serial No. 90/315,028
`
`and hereby opposes the same under the provisions of 15 U.S.C. § 1063. As grounds therefor, it
`
`is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer Vitaminerals LLC is the owner and assignee of the trademark
`
`VITAMINERALS.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer is also the applicant of U.S. Trademark Serial. No. 90/788,461 for
`
`VITAMINERALS in International Class 005 for “Dietary and nutritional supplements for
`
`humans in the form of pills, capsules, oils for oral administration comprising nitric oxide, iron,
`
`minerals, protein, fatty acids, and vitamins, with anti-viral, antioxidant, relaxing, anti-
`
`inflammatory, and anti-cramping qualities, for supporting the health of the immune system,
`
`adrenal system, brain, nerves, gastrointestinal (GI) system, bones, vision, ligaments, joints,
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`spinal disc, heart, hormone system, prostate, and skin, and for supporting sleep, pain
`
`management, detoxification, weight management, and male enhancement and pain relief topical
`
`gels.”.
`
`3.
`
`Opposer and its predecessors in interest have used the VITAMINERALS
`
`trademark continuously in interstate commerce since at least as early as August 1, 1933 in
`
`connection with dietary and nutritional supplements goods and services.
`
`4.
`
`Applicant Integrity Alliance Inc. is the applicant of Trademark Serial No.
`
`90/315,028 for VITAMINERAL GREEN.
`
`5.
`
`Applicant’s Trademark Serial No. 90/315,028 seeks registration in International
`
`Classes 005 for ”Dietary and nutritional supplements”.
`
`6.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant’s earliest use of the trademark
`
`VITAMINERAL GREEN is 1990. Opposer’s use of its trademark has been valid and
`
`continuous since its date of first use and has not been abandoned. Accordingly, Opposer has
`
`rights of priority superior to those of Applicant.
`
`7.
`
`The goods and services set forth in Applicant’s application are similar and related
`
`to those offered by Opposer and are also within the natural zone of expansion of Opposer’s
`
`goods and services.
`
`8.
`
`The trademark VITAMINERAL GREEN is confusingly similar to Opposer’s
`
`VITAMINERALS trademark in terms of its appearance, sound, meaning, and overall
`
`commercial impression and it is likely to cause confusion, mistake, and deception as to an
`
`affiliation, connection, or association between Opposer and Applicant, or as to the origin,
`
`sponsorship, or approval of Applicant’s goods, all to Opposer detriment, thereby causing
`
`Opposer damage.
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`
`
`9.
`
`Furthermore, Opposer believes that Applicant’s maintenance of the
`
`VITAMINERAL GREEN trademark application will result in financial and other injury and
`
`damage to Opposer in its business because Applicant will have a false claim of rights to the
`
`trademark. Moreover, Opposer’s continued and legal use of its VITAMINERALS trademark
`
`will be impaired by the registration of the VITAMINERAL GREEN trademark by Applicant.
`
`Also, Applicant’s trademark application has been cited against Opposer’s trademark application
`
`which may result in refusal of Opposer’s Application pursuant to Section 2(d) of the Lanham
`
`Act.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer requests that this Notice of Opposition be sustained, and
`
`Trademark Serial No. 90/315,028 be denied registration and for such other and further relief as
`
`
`
`
`
`may be deemed proper.
