`TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
`
`O Positiv, Inc.
`
`
`Opposer,
`
`
`v.
`
`Natuur Global LLC,
`
`
`Applicant.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. _________________
`Mark: UROLO-Q
`Serial No. 98393531
`Filed: February 6, 2024
`Published: October 8, 2024
`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Opposer O Positiv Inc. (“O Positiv”), a Delaware corporation, believes it is or will be
`
`damaged by registration of the mark UROLO-Q (“Applicant’s Mark”), Serial No. 98393531 (the
`
`“Application”), filed by Applicant Natuur Global LLC (“Applicant”), and opposes the registration
`
`of the Application. As grounds for opposition, O Positiv asserts as follows:
`
`1.
`
`O Positiv is in the business of marketing, distributing, and selling a variety of goods,
`
`including tea, medicinal preparations, deodorants, skincare, probiotics, suppositories, and vitamin,
`
`mineral, herbal, homeopathic, nutritional, and other dietary supplements (“Opposer’s Goods”) in
`
`interstate commerce throughout the United States.
`
`2.
`
`O Positiv owns US Registration No. 6902704 for “URO” in Class 05 for “Vitamins;
`
`Dietary supplements; Mineral supplements; Nutritional supplements” (the “URO Mark”). See
`
`Exhibit A. O Positiv filed the URO Mark on June 10, 2021 and began use in commerce by August
`
`22, 2022. See Ex. A.
`
`3.
`
`O Positiv has expended considerable time, money, and effort in advertising and
`
`promoting Opposer’s Goods under O Positiv’s marks, including the URO Mark. As a result, O
`
`
`
`1
`
`
`
`Positiv has developed substantial and exclusive goodwill and reputation based on the use of these
`
`marks in connection with Opposer’s Goods.
`
`4.
`
`Applicant filed the Application seeking to register UROLO-Q in Class 05 for
`
`“Dietary supplements for prostatitis, chronic prostatitis, chronic prostatitis/chronic pelvic pain
`
`syndrome and all other prostate conditions.”
`
`5.
`
`The URO Mark has priority over the Application and Applicant’s Mark because the
`
`Application claims a first use in commerce of January 2, 2024 while the URO mark has been in
`
`use since August 2022 and has constructive priority dating back to June 2021.
`
`Ground One – Likelihood of Confusion
`
`6.
`
`7.
`
`O Positiv realleges and incorporates paragraphs 1 through 5 above.
`
`Applicant’s Mark and the URO Mark are highly similar, if not identical, in sight,
`
`sound, and commercial impression. Specifically, Applicant’s Mark incorporates the entirety of the
`
`URO Mark.
`
`8.
`
`The goods claimed in the Application are highly similar to Opposer’s Goods
`
`because the goods claimed in the Application (i) could reasonably be expected to originate from
`
`the same source as products offered under the URO Mark, (ii) would travel in the same channels
`
`of trade as Opposer’s Goods, or (iii) consist of goods which could logically or commonly be
`
`provided by producers of Opposer’s Goods under the same marks. As a result, many consumers
`
`who encounter Applicant’s Mark in connection with the relevant goods are likely to think that such
`
`goods are authorized by, sponsored by, licensed by, affiliated with, or related to O Positiv.
`
`9.
`
`As a result, Applicant’s Mark, used in conjunction with the applied-for goods, is
`
`likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception in the minds of consumers that Applicant’s goods
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`emanate from O Positiv or are otherwise sponsored by, licensed by, affiliated with, or related to O
`
`Positiv, to the damage and detriment of O Positiv.
`
`Ground Two – No Bona Fide Use by Applicant
`
`O Positiv realleges and incorporates paragraphs 1 through 5 above.
`
`Applicant filed the Application under § 1(a) of the Lanham Act, asserting that
`
`10.
`
`11.
`
`registration is proper based on Applicant’s use of the mark in commerce.
`
`12.
`
`An application under § 1(a) must be supported by a specimen showing Applicant’s
`
`use of the mark in commerce.
`
`13.
`
`Following an office action refusing the Application for lack of a specimen,
`
`Applicant submitted a specimen consisting of a single web page screenshot, a copy of which is
`
`attached as Exhibit B.
`
`14.
`
`The specimen indicates that the product bearing the UROLO-Q mark is sold under
`
`the house mark “Sunn Biolabs.” This mark appears in the upper left corner of the bottle shown in
`
`the specimen.
`
`15.
`
`The web domain for the specimen is sunnbiolabs.com. Visiting this website
`
`indicates that the products sold thereon are sold by Sunn Biolabs. The website’s copyright footer
`
`and Terms & Privacy page all indicate that the website is operated by Sunn Biolabs LLC.
`
`16.
`
`Applicant Natuur Global LLC’s name does not appear anywhere on the website.
`
`Nothing on the website establishes any relationship between Natuur Global LLC and Sunn
`
`Biolabls LLC.
`
`17.
`
`Upon information and belief, no such relationship exists.
`
`
`
`3
`
`
`
`18.
`
`Therefore, the specimen fails to show use of Applicant’s Mark in commerce by
`
`Applicant.1
`
`19.
`
`Based on the specimen of record, Applicant has failed to show use of its mark in
`
`commerce and is not entitled to registration of Applicant’s Mark.
`
`Ground Three – Misuse of Registration Symbol
`
`O Positiv realleges and incorporates paragraphs 1 through 5 above.
`
`The Sunn Biolabs website utilizes the registration symbol in connection with
`
`20.
`
`21.
`
`UROLO-Q. See Exhibit C.
`
`22.
`
`23.
`
`There is no federal registration for UROLO-Q other than the pending Application.
`
`The use of the ® symbol without a corresponding registration constitutes fraudulent
`
`misuse of the federal registration symbol.
`
`24.
`
`This fraudulent misuse merits refusal to register the Application.
`
`WHEREFORE, O Positiv respectfully asks the Opposition be sustained and the registration
`
`of the Application be denied.
`
`Respectfully submitted on November 13, 2024.

`1 This further suggests that Applicant does not own the rights to the mark, which if true would be a further ground to
`refuse registration.
