`
`PETITION FOR CANCELLATION PURSUANT TO 37 C.F.R. § 2.111
`
`Madam/Sir:
`
`Petitioner, PTS Labs LLC (“PTS”), an Illinois corporation located and doing business at
`
`9820 W. Foster Avenue, Chicago, Illinois 60018, believes that it is being or will be damaged by
`
`Registration No. 2,757,576 for the mark REVITALX, and, by its attorney, hereby Petitions to
`
`cancel same pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.111, 15 U.S.C. § 1052, and 15 U.S.C. § 1064.

`As grounds for this Petition, PTS alleges that:
`
`1.
`
`PTS has been actively using the mark REVITAL, alone and in connection with
`
`other terms, continuously since January 1994, well prior to both Registrant’s first use and
`
`application filing date. PTS began using the mark REVITAL ICE in connection with pediatric
`
`electrolyte products at least as early as January 1994 (Exhibit A) and has been using the mark
`
`
`
`
`
`1;‘
`P...
`
`'5
`
`REVITAL in connection with pediatric electrolyte products continuously since at least as early as
`
`May 15, 2000 (Exhibit B)..
`
`3.
`
`PTS’s REVITAL line of pediatric electrolyte products presently includes oral
`
`maintenance solutions, freezer pops, jell cups, and jell tubes. These products are manufactured,
`
`distributed and sold in interstate commerce throughout the United States, with annual sales
`
`thereof in excess of $ 2 million for fiscal year 2002.
`
`4.
`
`By virtue of PTS’s development efforts, considerable promotional expenditures,
`
`and high quality of its products,
`
`the purchasing public has come to and do recognize the
`
`REVITAL trademark as being used by PTS or by a single source, and to associate and identify
`
`the REVITAL mark with PTS, or a single source, such that PTS derives substantial goodwill and
`
`value from identification by the consuming public and trade.
`
`5.
`
`PTS has a pending application to register the mark REVITAL for use in
`
`connection with electrolyte solutions in liquid, frozen, and gel form, in International Class 5, as
`
`shown by Application Ser. Nos. 78/189644, attached hereto as Exhibit C. PTS also has a
`
`pending application to register the mark REVITAL based on an intent to use the mark in
`
`connection with nutritional supplements containing vitamins and minerals in International Class
`
`5, as shown by Application Ser. No. 78/189653, attached hereto as Exhibit D.
`
`6.
`
`On March ll, 2002, NF Distribution Canada Ltd., (“Natural Factor”) a Canadian
`
`corporation located and doing business at 1550 United Boulevard Coquitlam, British Columbia
`
`V3K 6Y7, filed an application to register the mark REVITALX based on an intent to use the
`
`mark in connection with dietary and nutritional supplements, vitamins and minerals,
`
`in
`
`MCDONNELL EOEHNEN
`HULBERT & BERGHOFF
`300 SOUTH WACKER DRIVE
`CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60606
`TELEPHONE (312) 913-0001
`
`
`
`
`
`lntemational Class 5. Natural Factor’s first use in commerce of the term REVITALX was
`
`alleged to be March 12, 2003. On August 26, 2003, the REVITALX mark was registered on the
`
`Principal Register (Reg. No. 2,757,576).
`
`7.
`
`The REVITALX mark is substantially identical to the REVITAL mark, with only
`
`a single letter differentiating the two marks. As used in commerce in the United States, the type
`
`size and font are nearly identical (as shown by Exhibits E and F attached hereto), and the
`
`REVITALX mark is used in connection with goods, nutritional
`
`supplements,
`
`that are
`
`substantially similar to and travel in the same trade channels as the goods, electrolyte solutions,
`
`sold under PTS’s REVITAL mark.
`
`GROUND I— LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`8.
`
`PTS incorporates by reference the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 7 as if fully
`
`set forth herein.
`
`9.
`
`Through actual use in commerce, PTS has established prior use of the REVITAL
`
`mark well before Natural Factor’s application to register the mark REVITALX.
`
`10.
`
`PTS’s trade name REVITAL has a high degree of inherent and acquired
`
`distinctiveness.
`
`11.
`
`PTS’s nationwide use of the term REVITAL in connection with pediatric
`
`electrolyte products is distinctive and has generated extensive good will and consumer
`
`recognition.
`
`12.
`
`Natural Factor’s registered REVITALX mark is confusingly similar to PTS’s
`
`MCDONNELL BOEHNEN
`HULBERT & BERGHOFF
`300 SOUTH WACKER DRNE
`CHICAGO, ILLINOIS 60606
`TELEPHONE (312) 913-0001
`
`
`
`
`
`REVITAL mark.
`
`13.
`
`Natural Factor’s confusingly similar mark REVITALX is
`
`likely to cause
`
`confusion and mistake in the minds of the public as to the source of the parties’ respective goods.
`
`14.
`
`PTS believes that it is being or will be damaged by the continued registration of
`
`the mark REVITALX.
`
`GROUND H — DILUTION
`
`15.
`
`PTS incorporates by reference the allegations of Paragraphs 1 through 13 as if
`
`fully set forth herein.
`
`16.
`
`Because of the high degree of inherent and acquired distinctiveness of the trade
`
`name REVITAL, the length of time and extent to which PTS has used the REVITAL trade name,
`
`the extensive advertising and publicity the REVITAL trade name has received, the nationwide
`
`trading area in which the REVITAL trade name is used, and the high degree of consumer
`
`recognition of the REVITAL trade name, the REVITAL trade name is famous pursuant to 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1125(c)(l).
`
`17.
`
`Natural Factor’s continued registration and use of the mark REVITALX would
`
`lessen the capacity of PTS’s trade name REVITAL to identify and distinguish PTS’s goods sold
`
`thereunder, and, as such, would cause dilution of the REVITAL trade name in violation of 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1125(0).
`
`18.
`
`PTS believes that it is being or will be damaged by the continued registration of
`
`MCDONNELL BOEHNEN
`HULBERT & BERGHOFF
`300 SOUTH WACKER DRIVE
`CHICAGO. ILLINOIS 60606
`TELEPHONE (312) 913-0001
`
`
`
`
`
`the mark REVITALX, because such continued registration will support and assist Natural Factor
`
`'-
`
`in diluting the distinctive quality of PTS’s famous REVITAL trade name.
`
`WHEREFORE, PTS prays that Registration No. 2,757,576 be cancelled, and that this
`
`Petition for Cancellation be sustained in favor of PTS.
`
`Dated: Septemberzé, 2003

`Mixed up with water orjuice (fresh vegetable juice is

`tolerated and can actually help heal. Of course it is also
`an excellent daily nutritional supplement for anyone with
`normal digestion. A daily dose of RevitalX“" can provide
`a sensitive digestive system with important nutrients for
`optimum long-term gastrointestinal health.
`
`Most people make bad food choices on occasion.
`Overeating, holiday feasting, eating heavily close to
`bedtime, eating junk food, drinking excessively, or eating
`a food to which you are allergic or intolerant are just
`some of the ways you might upset or exhaust your
`intestinal tract.
`
`Rapidly restore good health and comfort by using
`RevitalXT'V' as your primary food for 1 or 2 days (1-3
`servings per day). RevitalXT"” can be mixed up with water
`or juice (fresh vegetable juice is preferred), or made into
`a fruit smoothie with added flax oil for additional intestinal
`
`nutrition. Fresh or lightly steamed vegetables and fresh
`fruit can be eaten if you are hungry between servings of

`
`Seven Day Intestinal Rest and Rejuvenation program
`(R&R Week!)
`If you have ongoing gastrointestinal health problems
`related to leaky gut syndrome, food allergies or
`intolerances, you may find great benefit from a seven day
`intestinal rest and rejuvenation program using Revita|XT"".
`
`RevitalX is taken twice per day as the primary source of
`sustenance, made up with water orjuice (fresh vegetable
`juice is preferred), or it can be made up as a fruit
`smoothie with added flax oil for additional intestinal
`nutrition.
`
`Fresh or steamed vegetables and small amounts of fruit
`can be eaten when hungry and one simple meal is
`prepared in the evening with steamed vegetables, lean
`chicken breast and brown rice (cooked beans, split peas
`or lentils along with brown rice can be used as a
`vegetarian alternative). A lightly sautéed stir fry can also
`be prepared for this meal. This food can be seasoned
`with natural herbs and small amounts of flax oil.

`
`Daily Maintenance.
`
`Many people with a leaky gut or other gastrointestinal
`problems will have a relatively sensitive digestive tract for
`life. These people have to be kind to their GI tract. This
`includes:
`
`. eating a wholesome, natural diet
`. avoiding junk foods, fast foods, deep fried,
`overcooked, over processed and most canned
`foods.
`
`. avoid all products containing hydrogenated
`vegetable oils
`. reduce amounts of fat, sugar or starches in the diet.
`. replace coffee, sugary soft drinks and fruit juices
`with water and green tea or herbal tea
`0 stop skipping meals, eating more than a small
`snack within 3 hours before bed or overeating
`0 try to avoid gut damaging substances such as anti-
`inflammatory drugs, antibiotics, and more than small
`amounts of alcohol
`
`. avoid any foods identified through the elimination
