`PETITION TO CANCEL REGISTRATION NO. 4,252,779
`
`
`
`In the matter of Trademark Registration No. 4,252,779 (the “Registration”), registered on
`
`
`
`
`
`December 4, 2012, and as grounds of cancellation, it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Lifelink Pharmaceuticals, Inc. (“Petitioner”) is an Ohio corporation with a
`
`principal place of business at 1350 Commerce Drive, Stow, Ohio 44224.
`
`2.
`
`The name and address of the registrant is LifeHealth Science, LLC (“Registrant”),
`
`which is an Ohio limited liability company having a principal place of business at 1375 East
`
`Ninth Street, Suite 2800, Cleveland, Ohio 44114.
`
`3.
`
`Petitioner has been, and continues to be, damaged by the Registration and hereby
`
`petitions to cancel the same.
`
`4.
`
`Petitioner’s statement of standing and the grounds for cancellation are as follows:
`
`
`
`

`
`
`
`I.
`
`PETITIONER’S STANDING
`
`5.
`
`Petitioner is the owner of U.S. Patent No. 6,288,045 (the “Patent”), designated
`
`“Epithelial Cell Cancer Drug,” which was issued on September 11, 2001.
`
`6.
`
`The Patent contains certain information necessary for the production of the
`
`“Epithelial Cell Cancer Drug” containing the inorganic substance, zeolite (the “Product”).
`
`7.
`
`The Product is a neutraceutical, the purpose of which is to assist in the removal of
`
`toxic heavy metals from the human body.
`
`8.
`
`Petitioner’s neutraceuticals are the same as, or are closely related to, the goods
`
`that are recited in the Registration, which are “dietary and nutritional supplements, containing all
`
`natural ingredients.”
`
`9.
`
`Neutraceuticals are “dietary and nutritional supplements” and therefore, the goods
`
`that are listed in the Registration are the same as, or closely related to, Petitioner’s goods,
`
`including the Product.
`
`10.
`
`11.
`
`Petitioner began producing the Product in 2001.
`
`In 2007, Petitioner began manufacturing and selling the Product under the
`
`trademark ZNatural (“Petitioner’s Trademark”), as demonstrated by the marketing materials
`
`attached hereto as Exhibit A.
`
`12.
`
`At least as early as 2007, Petitioner adopted and used Petitioner’s Trademark in
`
`conjunction with sales of the Product.
`
`13.
`
`Petition has continued to use Petitioner’s Trademark, in its individual capacity
`
`and as licensor, and has never abandoned it.
`
`
`
`2
`
`

`
`
`
`14.
`
`In 2007, Petitioner sought to expand its production of the Product, and searched
`
`for a manufacturer and distributor to which it could license the Patent and Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark.
`
`15.
`
`On November 4, 2008, Petitioner licensed the Patent and Petitioner’s Trademark
`
`to Trilogy Essentials International, Inc. (“Trilogy”), as evidenced by the license agreement
`
`attached as Exhibit B, under which Trilogy obtained joint ownership of Petitioner’s Trademark.
`
`16. When Trilogy failed to perform under its license agreement with Petitioner,
`
`Petitioner terminated the license agreement with Trilogy, as evidenced by the termination letter
`
`attached as Exhibit C.
`
`17.
`
`As a result of the Termination Letter, full ownership of Petitioner’s Trademark
`
`reverted to Petitioner under sections 1.9 and 4.1 of its license agreement with Trilogy.
`
`18.
`
`By reason of the foregoing, Petitioner’s use of the Trademark was prior in time to
`
`Registrant’s application for registration.
`
`19.
`
`In February 2010, Petitioner entered into a license agreement with Registrant (the
`
`“License Agreement”), under which Petitioner licensed the use of the Patent and Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark to Registrant, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit D.
`
`20.
`
`On November 10, 2011, without informing Petitioner, Registrant filed a section
`
`1(a) application to register the mark “ZNatural” (the “Application”), a copy of which is attached
`
`as Exhibit E.
`
`21.
`
`22.
`
`The Application claimed that Registrant was the owner.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant had actual knowledge of
`
`Petitioner’s ownership of Petitioner’s Trademark, by virtue of Registrant’s status as Petitioner’s
`
`licensee.
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`
`
`
`23.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant had actual knowledge of
`
`Petitioner’s prior use of Petitioner’s Trademark, as evidenced by the emails attached as exhibit F.
`
`24.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant did not own Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark and was estopped from claiming any right of ownership in it as Petitioner’s licensee.
`
`25.
`
`On December 4, 2012, the Registration was issued in Registrant’s name, stating a
`
`first use date of July 7, 2010.
`
`26.
`
`By letter dated September 18, 2014, a copy of which is attached as Exhibit G,
`
`Petitioner terminated the License Agreement, ending any and all right of Registrant to use
`
`Petitioner’s Trademark.
`
`27.
`
`Registrant continues
`
`to sell neutraceutical products utilizing Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark on its website: http://www.lhscience.com/content/znatural®-toxin-remover.
`
`II.
`
`THE 4,252,779 REGISTRATION WAS OBTAINED FRAUDULENTLY
`
`28.
`
`Petitioner incorporates by reference the preceding paragraphs of this Petition to
`
`Cancel as though fully rewritten herein.
`
`29.
`
`Registrant’s declaration in the Application, that Registrant is the owner of the
`
`mark set forth in the Registration, which is identical to Petitioner’s Trademark, was and is false.
`
`30.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant had actual knowledge of
`
`Petitioner’s ownership of Petitioner’s Trademark, by virtue of Registrant’s status as Petitioner’s
`
`licensee.
`
`31.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant had actual knowledge of
`
`Petitioner’s prior use of Petitioner’s Trademark, as evidenced by the emails attached as exhibit F.
`
`32.
`
`At the time Registrant filed the Application, Registrant did not own Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark, and was estopped from claiming any right of ownership in it as Petitioner’s licensee.
`
`
`
`4
`
`

`
`
`
`33.
`
`The Registration is void as a result of the false declaration of ownership contained
`
`in the Application.
`
`34.
`
`By virtue of Registrant’s continuing improper and unlicensed use of Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark, Petitioner has been and continues to be damaged by such use.
`
`III. LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION UNDER SECTION 2(d)
`
`35.
`
`Petitioner incorporates by reference the preceding paragraphs of this Petition to
`
`Cancel as though fully rewritten herein.
`
`36.
`
`37.
`
`The mark set forth in the Registration and Petitioner’s Trademark are identical.
`
`The goods set forth in the Registration and Petitioner’s goods are identical or
`
`closely related.
`
`38.
`
`The conditions surrounding the marketing of the goods set forth in the
`
`Registration and Petitioner’s goods are such that they could be encountered by the same
`
`purchasers under circumstances that could give rise to the mistaken belief that the goods come
`
`from a common source.
`
`39.
`
`Petitioner’s Trademark was first used in commerce prior to any actual use or
`
`constructive use of the mark set forth in the Registration.
`
`40.
`
`Petitioner will be damaged by the continuation of the Registration. Specifically,
`
`the mark set forth in the Registration consists of a mark which so resembles Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark as to be likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive, under
`
`Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`41.
`
`By virtue of Registrant’s continuing improper and unlicensed use of Petitioner’s
`
`Trademark, Petitioner and the consuming public have been and will continue to be damaged by
`
`such use.
`
`
`
`5
`
`

`
`
`
`IV.
`
`FALSE SUGGESTION OF A CONNECTION UNDER SECTION 2(a)
`
`42.
`
`Petitioner incorporates by reference the preceding paragraphs of this Petition to
`
`Cancel as though fully rewritten herein.
`
`43.
`
`Registration of the mark set forth in the Registration should be cancelled pursuant
`
`to Trademark Act Section 2(A), 15 U.S.C. § 1052(A), on the grounds that any use by Registrant
`
`of the mark set forth therein will falsely suggest a connection between Registrant and Petitioner,
`
`to the damage of Petitioner.
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests that this petition be sustained and that
`
`Registration Number 4,252,779 be cancelled.
`
`Respectfully submitted,
`

`Here is some correspondence between me and TruthJ unkie about the different
`brands of Liquid Zeolite and some trials she had done on them, it makes very
`interesting reading:
`
`TruthJ unkie writes:
`Having spent many weeks now looking into Liquid Zeolite, I am aware that
`Liquid Zeolite, as it removes heavy metals, can give slight flu symtoms as this
`is normal for anyone who has ever detoxed before. I am interested in the fact
`that you have such severe symptoms. Can I ask which Liquid Zeolite you are
`taking, NCD, ZNatural or Liquid Zeolite in Humic Acid. The reason I am
`asking is that I am having all three products tested and I am seeing some
`disturbing differences in these products.
`
`Hi Truth J unkie, thanks for your comment, I am taking the NCD Liquid
`Zeolite. I have had some strong reactions! I have seen other brands for sale on
`Ebay, but I don’t trust them……but I don’t know what I have based this trust
`upon.
`What discoveries have you made in the different brands, I will be very
`interested to hear about it,
`cheers, TH.

`
`Liquid Zeolite Trials and Brand Comparisons « Constant State of Flux
`
`EXHIBIT A
`Hi TH. As far as I know, there are 3 forms of liquid zeolite. ZNatural, NCD
`and Liquid Zeolite in Humic Acid. I have been speaking to many people and I
`am getting a lot of different information. From what I can understand, the
`Liquid Zeolite was discovered by Dr. Harvey Kaufman in Ohio and the patent
`is owned by LifeLink Pharmaceuticals. Waiora obviously have some rights to
`market it and probably make it but there is something fishy going on there, as
`there is a huge lawsuit against Waiora and many other, what I have assumed
`to be part of the Waiora group. See this link for further info on this (http:/ /
`dockets.justia.com/ docket/ court-ohndce/
`case_ no-5:20 0 7cv0 0 785/ case_ id-141940 / )
`I have seen a response from Stanley J . Cherelstein on the internet somewhere
`regarding this lawsuit and he says something like “This is all part of standard
`business practices” but I believe that there is no smoke without fire but I may
`be wrong. I have found out that Liquid Zeolite should be colourless, odourless
`and tasteless but I have also spoke to some people who have said that the
`NCD has a strange smell and I have also seen with my own eyes a bottle of
`NCD which is brown. The humic acid product is also brown and has a very
`nasty smell and although Humic acid is beneficial to the human body, this is
`only the case if the Humic acid has been extracted properly, which apparently
`is a lengthly process.The only product that I have found so far which is
`colourless, odourless and tasteless is the ZNatural product. This product is
`manufactured by the Patent holders (Lifelink Pharmaceuticals), so hopefully
`this is the true formula. This is all I know so far but I will be digging further as
`I truly believe that the patented liquid zeolite is a remarkable product.If you
`wish to speak to someone who seems to know more about the product and
`dosages (which is another area where I have received conflicting stories), then
`I can let you have the contact details.
`Regards
`
`Hi there, this all sounds very intriguing - I would be interested to receive the
`name of the person who knows about the dosage of Liquid Zeolite. I thought
`that brown colour was because the product is natural, but maybe this is not
`the case. I have never heard of humic acid before now.thanks for sharing your
`research,
`TH
`
`Hi TH. Sorry for the long delay but I have been busy trying to get as much
`information as I can about these products. From what I have found out so far,
`the Humic acid Liquid Zeolite contains a low grade humic acid and various
`tests that I have had performed from some bio-chemist friends of mine show
`bacteria in the product which could be harmful to the human body. So in my
`opinion, this is not a good product. Interestingly, other tests have shown this
`product to be the same as NCD but with added low grade humic acid. I
`suppose it was inevitable that companies would start to try and copy this
`great product but people need to be careful when choosing which product to
`purchase as price often attracts people more than quality. I have also spoken
`to many people at many websites and the best conversations have been with a
`company called Spirit of Sunshine, who sell the ZNatural product which is
`made by Lifelink Pharmaceuticals (the owners of the patent) and they say that
`they are in constant contact with Dr. Harvey Kauffman and the dosages they
`recommend are from the Doctor himself, who should know what he is talking
`about, seeing as he invented the product. As far as the brown NCD is
`concerned, I am still trying to find out why this is the case.Liquid Zeolite
`should be colourless, odourless and tasteless. No matter how “Natural” a
`product is, it should not be brown. I will keep you up to date with anything
`else I find. I also found your blog regarding testimonies. Great stuff. I too
`believe that some of these testimonies are not what they seem and I think

`your idea of people submitting their own testimonies is a fantastic idea. I
`spoke with the people at Spirit of Sunshine as well as many other sites about
`their testimonies pages and most of the web sites seem to copy each other
`testimonies. I even recall seeing an offer to buy testimonies!!! The people at
`Spirit of Sunshine only have a few testimonies but these are testimonies of
`people they know and results they have witnessed themselves. Oh my gosh. It
`seems like I am promoting someone’s site. I am not. It is just that theirs in the
`most useful site I have found.
`God Bless and speak to you soon.
`Regards
`
`Thanks for all your research - its fantastic, please allow me to use it on my
`blog? Perhaps u want to publish it yourself - it certainly should be published
`somewhere! My current NCD is brown and tastes foul! Not sure what to think
`about it now! I had a gut feeling it was better than others in brown glass
`bottles. Waiting for your further research, what do you think About ZNatural
`as a product? I am now taking 10 drops NCD before I go to bed, none during
`the day, as I wake up feeling refreshed just the same - perhaps my body is
`cleansing during the night when it is supposed to cleanse itself, I wonder
`whether it is worth taking it during the day, seem to have no effect at all?
`Wonder what your thoughts are on this? Trying to find out more about
`circadian rhythmns and cleansing, will post soon.
`thanks again, TH
`
`Hi TH. Thanks for your email. The more I look into LIquid Zeolite, the more
`interesting information I find. First of all, Liquid Zeolite should be colourless,
`odourless and tasteless. If it is not, then there is something wrong with the
`product. I have seen a question raised on a forum somewhere that the brown
`colour and taste is due to, and I quote “the discolouring is caused by the
`product being so natural”. What a load of bull. If that was the case, why aren’t
`all forms of liquid zeolite brown. This is one of many things that worries me
`about the claims being made about this brand of Liquid Zeolite. As I may have
`mentioned earlier, I am having all three products analysed (only because I
`have friends who like doing that sort of stuff) and although they have not
`completed all of their tests yet, what I can tell you is that the Humic acid
`contains active bacteria which is definitely detrimental to the human body
`(probably the reason it is so cheap), I also know that the ZNatural product
`and the NCD product are different. Which begs the question as to how they
`can both claim to be the result of the same patent. There is a company here in
`the UK who actually talk to the inventor on a daily basis, to discuss dosages
`and ask for advice on certain conditions. The product that they can supply is
`ZNatural and is made by the Patent holders, so at the moment I am assuming
`that this is the proper product. It seems (again my friends are telling me this)
`that the ZNatural is more “active” than the NCD and yes I have asked them
`what that means. The ZNatural product is colourless, tasteless and odourless,
`as Liquid Zeolite should be. So to answer your question as to what I think of
`ZNatural, well, at the moment, I am assuming that it is made to the original
`patent, seeing as it is made by the patent holder and the company that
`supplies it is only interested in helping people and not trying to make money,
`i.e. it is not a MLM company. I personally would not put anything brown and
`smelly into my body if I did not know why it was brown and smelly.And I
`would be privileged to have you post my comments on your blog and I have
`set up my own blog, as this seems to be the way to get people talking
`nowadays. If this product does what is says it does, then the more people that
`know about it, the better. Please remember that a lot of what I say is my
`opinion only but there are a few things that are fact.

`
`Hi TH. Me again. Some more news for you. My friends have run a relatively
`simple analysis on the humic acid liquid zeolite and have found that the
`Liquid Zeolite in Humic Acid contains reproductive eggs of BACTERIA. These
`eggs are most likely to come from the humic acid and these can cause serious
`problems in the body. I have photographs of these eggs if you are interested. I
`do not know about you but things like this make me really angry. Why take a
`perfectly good product such as Liquid Zeolite and then ruin it. I have been
`looking at Liquid Zeolite for ages, as you have probably seen on my postings
`and was initially surprised to find that when you ring the people that sell it,
`they know nothing about the product apart from the Marketing rubbish that
`you have been given. This is not true of all of them. There is a company called
`Spirit of Sunshine (www.spiritofsunshine.co.uk) that work with the inventor
`of the product and they have a huge amount of information about ZNatural,
`which is the Liquid Zeolite product that they sell and they are not part of any
`MLM company, so their interest is not money but helping people. I was going
`to post their details on the forums as they seem to be the best company I have
`found so far but I am not too sure if I am allowed to do this. Also, they say
`that there is an awful lot of untruths posted on some websites which is
`misleading and should not be allowed but it seems nowadays that anyone can
`post almost anything on the web and get away with it. Regards

`
`Truth J unkie, what is your relationship with Spirit of Sunshine? I sense that
`your claims of objectivity are tainted. You toss out claims and criticisms
`against NCD without investigation. I find that totally irresponsible and
`underhanded!
`I will be forthright and explain that I am an environmental journalist of
`many years, who began researching clinoptilolite in early 20 0 6. I am indeed
`a distributor of Natural Cellular Defense, manufactured in the US by
`Waiora, because I was astounded by what my research revealed about
`clinoptilolite’s healing powers and I wanted to purchase some. And when
`you buy NCD wholesale, you become a distributor. My experiences with
`NCD have been extraordinary.
`Now, I will handle one of your many attacks. Let’s start with the “brown”
`product. That is oxidation from a batch that contained an infinitesimal
`amount of iron, which later oxidized in the bottle. It didn’t look great, but,
`unlike the zeolite with humic acid, it is completely safe. Waiora has worked
`hard to standardize mineral content from batch to batch, and has added
`several filtration systems to that end. Because zeolites are born in nature,
`there is a great deal of variation in the raw zeolite, and differences from
`batch to batch are natural. Allow me to quote from Waiora’s chief
`biochemist, Rik Deitsch:
`
`“We have conducted vigorous quality control of the Natural Cellular
`Defense, including GC-MS (Gas Chromatography-Mass Spectroscopy) to
`look for hydrocarbon differences between bottles that exhibit a different
`smell/ taste and those that do not. The results indicate that there are no
`plastic or petroleum-based derivatives leaking into the solution.
`Additionally, some of the raw material (pure, liquid zeolite) still in the glass
`reaction chambers exhibits the same adverse smell and taste. This leads us
`to our first conclusion – the zeolite is a naturally-derived, mined material
`that will have varying amounts of intrinsic minerals. The di
