`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Sabinsa Corporation, a New Jersey corporation headquartered at 20 Lake Drive, East

`
`shown in Application Serial No. 97291311 in Class 3, iled by WPS Group, LLC dba World Product
`
`Solutions dba Onoxa dba Evora Worldwide, a Delaware limited liability company doing business
`
`at 7935 114th Avenue, Largo, FL 33773 (“Applicant”) on March 2, 2022, and published in the
`
`Trademark Oficial Gazette for opposition on May 23, 2023.
`
`Opposer opposes Application Serial No. 97291311. The grounds for this opposition are as
`
`follows:

`
`nutraceuticals, cosmeceuticals, minerals, dietary supplements and specialty ine chemicals for
`
`the nutritional, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries.
`
`2.

`
`standardized botanical extracts and privately funded several clinical studies in conjunction with
`
`prestigious institutions in support of these products.
`
`3.
`
`With about 100 full time scientists conducting ongoing research in India and the
`
`United States, Opposer continues to develop and patent phytonutrients for the world market.

`

`4.
`
`Opposer has obtained more than 400 patents for its products throughout the
`
`world and holds numerous trademarks, including 210 registered or pending trademarks in the

`U.S. alone.
`
`5.
`
`For more than 30 years, Opposer has developed and marketed herbal extracts,

`
`phytoextract, Curcumin C3 Complex®, made from (cid:318)urcuma longa (commonly known as
`
`turmeric).
`
`7.
`
`Opposer and its afiliates have taken extensive measures to protect its intellectual
`
`property in Curcumin C3 Complex, including multiple trademark registrations for “C3 Complex”
`
`and “Curcumin C3 Complex” in the U.S. and throughout the world:

`
`Copies of the above-listed United States trademarks are attached as Exhibit 1.
`
`Copies of the above-listed foreign Class 3 trademarks are attached as Exhibit 2.
`
`9.
`
`Opposer (Sabinsa Corporation) is owner of record of all of the above-listed
`
`trademarks except those issued in Japan, India, and Taiwan, which are owned by Opposer’s
`
`afiliates.
`
`10.
`
`Registration of Opposer’s above-listed U.S. marks is valid, subsisting and
`
`conclusive evidence of Opposer’s exclusive right to use those marks in U.S. commerce on the
`
`goods speciied in said registrations.
`
`11.
`
`In addition to owning registered Class 5 marks in the U.S., i.e. “C3 Complex” and
`
`“Curcumin C3 Complex,” Opposer has registered these marks in Class 3 as summarized above.
`
`12.
`
`For almost thirty years, Opposer has made substantial investments to advertise
`
`and promote its goods under Opposer’s “C3 Complex” and “Curcumin C3 Complex” marks,
`
`including but not limited to sponsoring peer-reviewed scientiic research as well as publishing a
`
`website, https://curcuminoids.com/, a promotional video, “Curcumin C3 Complex®: The Whole
`
`Picture and the Whole Truth,” https://vimeo.com/436336951, a book, “Curry Powder to Clinical
`
`Signiicance,” https://www.amazon.com/Powder-Clinical-Signiicance-Muhammed-Majeed
`
`/dp/0988320916, and more. (cid:334)ee Exhibit 3.
`
`13.
`
`Opposer routinely licenses its “C3 Complex” and “Curcumin C3 Complex” marks
`
`to third parties, requiring use of the circle-R symbol and an attribution statement on the product
`
`label. (cid:334)ee Exhibit 4.
`
`14.
`
`As a result of Opposer’s longstanding and continuing advertising, promotion and
`
`sales, Opposer’s “C3 Complex” and “Curcumin C3 Complex” marks are famous and distinctive,
`
`and became famous and distinctive long before Applicant iled this application for “CitraC3
`
`Complex.” (cid:334)ee Exhibit 5.

`
`

`

`15.
`
`And, in light of Opposer’s Class 3 registrations of its “C3 Complex” and
`
`“Curcumin C3 Complex” marks throughout the world, together with the traditional, ”centuries-
`
`long history of use” of turmeric in cosmetics, see Kim, L. & Lio, P., “Turmeric, Curcumin, and
`
`Curcuminoids: A Dermatologic Review,” (cid:331)ractical (cid:319)ermatology (Oct. 2020)2 (Exhibit 6), use of
`
`Opposer’s “C3 Complex” and “Curcumin C3 Complex” marks in connection with cosmetics and
`
`similar products in U.S. commerce is a natural extension of Opposer’s current use.
`
`16.
`
`Notwithstanding Opposer’s rights in and to its “C3 Complex” and “Curcumin C3
`
`Complex” marks since 1994, on March 2, 2022 Applicant iled an application to register the
`
`“CitraC3 Complex” mark for “Beauty care cosmetics; Cosmetic creams for skin care; Non-
`
`medicated skin care preparations” in Class 3. Said application was made on an intent-to-use
`
`basis, see 15 U.S.C. § 1051(b), and was assigned Serial No. 97291311 and published for opposition
`
`in the Oficial Gazette on May 23, 2023.
`
`17.
`
`Applicant’s “CitraC3 Complex” mark so resembles Opposer’s “C3 Complex” and
`
`“Curcumin C3 Complex” marks that it is likely to cause confusion or mistake of customers and
`
`end users and/or to deceive customers and end users as to the origin and sponsorship of
`
`Applicant’s goods, misleading customers and end users into believing that such goods emanate
`
`from, are licensed by, or are in some way directly or indirectly associated with, approved by
`
`and/or are sponsored by Opposer.

`
`19.
`
`Applicant’s “CitraC3 Complex” mark so resembles Opposer’s “C3 Complex” and
`
`“Curcumin C3 Complex” marks that it will dilute the distinctiveness of Opposer’s famous marks
`
`within the meaning of the provisions of the Federal Trademark Act of 1995, as amended by the
`
`Trademark Revision Act of 2006.
`
`20.
`
`Opposer will be irreparably damaged by the registration of Applicant’s mark.
`
`21.
`
`Pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), Applicant is not entitled to register its mark.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer requests that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board grant this
`
`Opposition and deny registration of the subject application, namely, U.S. Trademark Serial No.

`

`REQUIREMENTS TO MAINTAIN YOUR FEDERAL
`TRADEMARK REGISTRATION
`
`WARNING: YOUR REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED IF YOU DO NOT FILE THE
`DOCUMENTS BELOW DURING THE SPECIFIED TIME PERIODS.
`
`Requirements in the First Ten Years*
`What and When to File:
`
`First Filing Deadline: You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) between the
`5th and 6th years after the registration date. See 15 U.S. C. §§1058, 1141k. If the declaration is
`accepted, the registration will continue in force for the remainder of the ten-year period, calculated
`from the registration date, unless cancelled by an order of the Commissioner for Trademarks or a
`federal court.
`
`Second Filing Deadline: You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) and an
`Application for Renewal between the 9th and 10th years after the registration date.*
`See 15 U.S. C. §1059.
`
`Requirements in Successive Ten-Year Periods*
`What and When to File:
`
`You must file a Declaration of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) and an Application for Renewal between
`every 9th and lOth-year period, calculated from the registration date.*
`
`Grace Period Filings*
`
`The above documents will be accepted as timely if filed within six months after the deadlines listed above
`with the payment of an additional fee.
`
`The United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will NOT send you any future notice or
`reminder of these filing requirements.
`
`* ATTENTION MADRID PROTOCOL REGISTRANTS: The holder of an international registration with
`an extension of protection to the United States under the Madrid Protocol must timely file the Declarations
`of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) referenced above directly with the USPTO. The time periods for filing are
`based on the U.S. registration date (not the international registration date). The deadlines and grace periods
`for the Declarations of Use (or Excusable Nonuse) are identical to those for nationally issued registrations.
`See 15 U.S. C. §§1058, 1 141k. However, owners of international registrations do not file renewal applications
`at the USPTO. Instead, the holder must file a renewal of the underlying international registration at the
`International Bureau of the World Intellectual Property Organization, under Article 7 of the Madrid Protocol,
`before the expiration of each ten-year term of protection, calculated from the date of the international
`registration. See 15 U.S.C. § 1 1 41j . For more information and renewal forms for the international registration,
`see http://www.wipo.int/madrid/en/.
