`
`COUNTERCLAIM TO CANCEL PETITIONER’S REGISTRATION NO. 3,221,204
`
`10. Registrant is the owner of U.S. Trademark Registration No. 5,209,646 issued May
`
`23, 2017 from an application filed November 21, 2013 for the mark BIOCURC for
`
`“Dietary and nutritional supplements; Dietetic foods, namely, dietary supplements
`
`adapted for medical use” (“Registrant’s Registration”).
`
`11. Petitioner filed a petition to cancel Registrant’s Registration on the basis of
`
`priority and likelihood of confusion pertaining to its U.S. Registrations for the
`
`word marks BIO-CURCUMIN (U.S. Reg. No. 3,221,204), BIO-CURCUMAX
`
`(U.S. Reg. No. 3,278,319), BIO CURCUMA (U.S. Reg. No. 3,478,585) and
`
`BCM-95 (BIO CURCUMIN) (U.S. Reg. No. 3,968,182).
`
`19306224-v1
`
`-2-
`
`

`

`12. Petitioner registered in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”) on the
`
`Principle Register Registration No. 3,221,204 for BIO-CURCUMIN, filed October
`
`15, 2007, for “Nutritional supplements in powder, tablet and capsule form” in
`
`Class 5 (“Petitioner’s Registration”).
`
`13. The registered mark BIO-CURCUMIN is now a generic term.
`
`14. Exhibit A comprises Petitioner’s Registration No. 3,697,233 for ENHANCED
`
`BIO AVAILABLE CURCUMIN, which was filed on May 14, 2009 for “Dietary
`
`supplements in tablet, capsule, powder and liquid form” and registered on the
`
`Supplemental Register on October 13, 2009.
`
`15. As shown in Exhibit A, Registration No. 3,697,233 disclaims “CURCUMIN.”
`
`16. A disclaimer in a Supplemental Register registration means that the disclaimed
`
`wording is considered generic.
`
`17. Therefore, the disclaimer of “CURCUMIN” in Reg. No. 3,697,233 means that
`
`“CURCUMIN” is generic.
`
`18. The term “curcumin” is a generic designation for turmeric extract.
`
`19. The attached screenshot in Exhibit B shows the definition of “bioavailable.”
`
`20. The term “bioavailable” at one time was associated in the minds of the purchasing
`
`public as a descriptive, nondistinctive designation for the quality of a substance to
`
`enter the body’s circulation and have an active effect.
`
`21. The term “bioavailable” has now become associated in the minds of the
`
`purchasing public as a generic designation.
`
`19306224-v1
`
`-3-
`
`

`

`22. Exhibit C comprises third-party Registration No. 4,680,405 for
`
`.
`
`23. As shown in Exhibit C, Registration No. 4,680,405 disclaims “BIOAVAILABLE
`
`CURCUMIN.”
`
`24. The attached screenshots in Exhibit D show the term “bioavailable curcumin”
`
`appearing on or in connection with various third-party nutritional supplements.
`
`25. The term “bioavailable curcumin” has become a generic designation for curcumin
`
`that may enter the body’s circulation and have an active effect.
`
`26. The attached screenshot in Exhibit E shows that the term “BIO” is an abbreviation
`
`for “bioavailable.”
`
`27. The term “BIO” has become a generic designation of the term “bioavailable” in
`
`the context of nutritional supplements containing bioavailable ingredients.
`
`28. The terms “BIO” and “CURCUMIN” retain their meanings when combined in the
`
`compound mark BIO-CURCUMIN in the context of nutritional supplements.
`
`29. The term “BIO-CURCUMIN” has become associated in the minds of the
`
`purchasing public as a generic designation for nutritional supplements containing
`
`curcumin that is bioavailable.
`
`30. The registered mark “BIO-CURCUMIN” identifies “nutritional supplements in
`
`tablets, capsules, powder, soft gel and granule form.”
`
`31. Given the clear meaning of the term “BIO-CURCUMIN,” members of the relevant
`
`consuming public will perceive “BIO-CURCUMIN” as a generic term for
`
`nutritional supplements containing curcumin that is bioavailable.
`
`19306224-v1
`
`-4-
`
`

`

`32. Given the clear meaning of the term “BIO-CURCUMIN,” members of the relevant
`
`consuming public will not associate “BIO-CURCUMIN” with one particular
`
`provider.
`
`33. Registrant is therefore not entitled to claim exclusive trademark rights in the
`
`generic wording “BIO-CURCUMIN” for the goods claimed in Petitioner’s
`
`Registration.
`
`34. By reason of the foregoing, Registrant will be damaged by the continued
`
`registration of Petitioner’s Registration in as much as Petitioner is relying on
`
`Petitioner’s Registration to cancel Registrant’s Registration, and Petitioner’s
`
`Registration should be cancelled.
`
`WHEREFORE, Registrant prays that
`
`the Petition for Cancellation be denied and
`
`dismissed with prejudice, and that Petitioner’s Registration No. 3,221,204 be cancelled.
`
`This Counterclaim to Cancel Reg. No. 3,221,204 is submitted together with the statutory
`
`filing fee of $400.00 (covering one class). Should any additional fee be required, please charge
`
`the same to our Account No. 22-0261 and notify the undersigned accordingly.

`
`Experience the Power of Curcumin delivered by Protein.
`
`Whey Protein becomes the Scaffold on which Curcumin is delivered into the body. As the body digests the Complex — our Curcumin is Absorbed Readily.
`
`ULTRACIJRA CLINICAL BREAKTHROUGH
`
`Curcumin has been notorious for its lack of absorbability. My peers have spent years working on formulating Curcumin to improve its Bioavailability orto reduce its
`metabolism.
`
`We approached Curcumin from a different Point of View.
`We started with liquid Curcumin.
`
`Liquid Curcumin evenly binds to Protein, providing a safe and easily digestible scaffold onto which Curcumin travels easily into the body.
`Come and try a new level of Curcumin Bioavailability.
`
`ULTRACUR POTENCY
`
`Over a decade of research, Ultra Botanica's scientific team and their academic research partners identified the factors limiting curcumin absorption and developed a
`series of novel methods to address them .
`
`The result is UltraCiir, a proprietary curcumin complex that is nearly fully absorbed. Using fast absorbing whey protein as the scaffold on which the curcumin is
`absorbed.
`
`ULTRACIIR CLINICAL EFFICACY
`
`As we age, joints and muscles resistance to damage is impaired. Stiff aching joints become a daily burden, dramatically decreasing our quality of life. Curcumin helps
`in multiple ways. Curcumin has been studied as a powerful anti—inflammatory, and anti-oxidant.
`
`However, because curcumin is so poorly absorbed, these studies required massive doses of curcumin to achieve the blood levels necessary to make a difference.
`UltraCiir curcumin complex can achieve the same levels with only 1 to 2 capsules per day.
`
`100% Natural
`
`We use no fillers or artificial materials in our product. The capsule is Organic and all of the ingredients are made from Nature.
`
`Whey Protein becomes the Scaffold on which Curcumin is delivered into the body.
`
`Potency Strength
`
`We use EU/USA extracted 95%+ pure Curcumin, Sunflower Lecithin and US Wisconsin Whey Protein Isolate
`as the core ingredients. Nothing else.
`We Make Everything in the USA
`We process everything here in the USA at our own GMP Facility.

`m Attn: Chronic Pain Suffers ii
`June 24, 2017
`Verified Purchase
`Size: 120 Capsules
`I hav been dealing with chronic pain since 2008. i have severe degenerative disc disease and severe osteoarthritis. My
`feet are beginning to get deformed and i am very limited to what kind of shoes i wear. My neck is a mess, my spine and
`my shin pain adds to my condition. This tumeric has made a huge difference In my nights sleep plus my daily pain. i
`have friends that are having success with it also. Don't let the price scare you away if you can afford it. | recommend
`anyone start off with 6 daily the first 3 or 4 days then level off to 4 a day, 2 twice daily. I can take them with or without
`food. I am sure without food would make them more bloavallable. | go off of them 2 or 3 days and my pain increases. I
`try not to let myself run out. If you are suffering with chronic pain I hope this helps you as much as it has me.
`UPDATElii have been taking this supplement well over a year. It is the best thing I have ever used to help with my
`severe arthritic pain. I have talked with the companies representatives. They informed me it is being used for cancer
`pain with good results. The best information i received on the phone call was if the consumer stops taking it every 6
`weeks for 2 to 3 days then resumes their dosage it will reboot the effectiveness. I do it for that reason only. When I do
`it it is hard because my pain is so bad on those days it shocks me into realityiust how much this has done for me. it rids
`me of probably 75% of my pain. I am so thankful. it is comforting to know I am not taking toxic drugs with bad side
`effects. For this I am grateful.

`i've tried several brands of turmeric but none of them work nearly as well as this brand. I'm a retired RN and have had
`my back fused and have arthritis in several areas of my body. I‘ve never been able to tolerate any of the NSAIDS (anti
`inflammatory drugs) because they all caused gastrointestinal problems. These work like an anti inflammatory for me
`with no side effects. So glad I found this brand (actually my best friend told me about this product). So glad she did.
