`
`4. Opposer has expended substantial time, money, and resources marketing, advertising, and
`
`promoting its goods under the MUNCHKIN mark.
`
`5. On March 21, 2022, Applicant filed an application for FUNMUNCHKINS in
`
`International Class 25 for “Clothing, namely, shirts, skirts, headwear, tutus, and
`
`rompers,” claiming first use in U.S. commerce on October 15, 2015. This application was
`
`assigned Serial No. 97321712 (“the ‘712 Application”).
`
`6. Opposer’s use of its MUNCHKIN mark predates Applicant’s filing date and alleged date
`
`of first use of October 15, 2015.
`
`7. Applicant’s FUNMUNCHKINS mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s MUNCHKIN
`
`mark in appearance, sound, and commercial impression.
`
`8. The marks are used in connection with the same and closely-related goods.
`
`{00088063 1 }
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`9. Applicant’s use of FUNMUNCHKINS is likely to cause confusion or mistake or to
`
`deceive, within the meaning of Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`10. Applicant’s registration of FUNMUNCHKINS will result in damage and injury to
`
`Opposer and its MUNCHKIN mark.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer requests that Application Serial No. 97321712 be refused registration
`
`and that this Opposition be sustained.
