`
`
`In the matter of:
`
`Petitioner
`
`Peak Health Center, a California Not For
`Profit Corporation,
`
`
`
`
`v.
`
`ISO International, LLC,
`
`
`
`Registrant.
`
`
`
`Cancellation No.
`
`U.S. Trademark Registration No. 4,411,518
`for CBD NATURALS in Classes 3 and 5
`Registration Date: October 1, 2013
`
`Petitioner Peak Health Center (“Petitioner”) believes that it is or will be damaged by ISO
`
`INTERNATIONAL, LLC’s (“Registrant”) registration of CBD NATURALS (the “Mark”) for “Cosmetic
`
`preparations; cosmetics and make-up; non-medicated preparations all for the care of skin; all of
`
`the foregoing made primarily from natural ingredients,” in Class 003, and “Dietary and
`
`nutritional supplements; food supplements; health food supplements; herbal supplements;
`
`herbal topical creams, gels, salves, sprays, powder, balms, liniment and ointments for the relief
`
`of aches and pain; homeopathic supplements; liquid nutritional supplement; mineral nutritional
`
`supplements; mineral supplements; natural herbal supplements; nutraceuticals for use as a
`
`dietary supplement; nutritional and dietary supplements formed and packaged as bars;
`
`nutritional supplements; protein supplements; vitamin and mineral supplements; all of the
`
`foregoing made primarily from natural ingredients,” in Class 05 as described in U.S. Trademark
`
`Registration No. 4,411,518 dated October 1, 2013 (the “Registration”), and petitions to cancel
`
`the same under Section 14(3) of the Lanham Federal Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1064(3).
`
`As grounds for cancellation, Peak Health states and alleges the following, with
`
`knowledge about its own acts and on information and belief on all other matters:
`
`4835-7935-1406, v. 1
`
`1
`
`
`
`STATEMENT OF THE PETITION
`
`1.
`
`Petitioner is a not-for-profit corporation organized under the laws of California
`
`and maintains an office at 100 Los Gatos Saratoga Road, Suite A, Los Gatos, California 95032.
`
`2.
`
`Registrant is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Wyoming
`
`and maintains an office at 1712 Pioneer Avenue, Suite 201, Cheyenne, Wyoming 82001.
`
`3.
`
`4.
`
`Registrant acquired by assignment and is the record owner of the Registration.
`
`In an office action dated March 15, 2012 (attached as Exhibit 1 to this Petition),
`
`the Examining Attorney stated,
`
`“Applicant must explain whether “CBD” has any meaning or significance in the industry
`
`in which the goods are manufactured/provided, or if such wording is a “term of art”
`
`within applicant’s industry. See 37 C.F.R. §2.61(b); TMEP §814. Further, applicant must
`
`provide additional information about this wording to enable proper examination of the
`
`application. Specifically, applicant must respond to the following questions: What is the
`
`significance of “CBD” in relation to the recited goods in Classes 3 and 5? Do any of the
`
`applicant’s goods recited in Classes 3 and 5 contain the ingredient Cannabidiol (CBD) or
`
`its derivatives?”
`
`5.
`
`In a Response to Office Action dated September 1, 2012 (attached as Exhibit 2),
`
`Registrant falsely stated to mislead the Examining Attorney, “cbd appearing in the mark has no
`
`significance nor is it a term of art in the relevant trade or industry or as applied to the
`
`goods/services listed in the application, or any geographical significance.” Separately, using the
`
`Miscellaneous Statement portion of the response form, Registrant stated, “CBD is an
`
`abbreviation for the word ‘Cannabidiol’. The term has no significance in the relevant trade or
`
`4835-7935-1406, v. 1
`
`2
`
`
`
`industry; however, a non-synthetic component of Cannabidiol has been extracted and is present
`
`in small quantities in the goods.”
`
`6.
`
`Contrary to Registrant’s assertion, the term CBD has significance and is a term of
`
`art in the industry and channels of trade in which Registrant operates (and operated when it
`
`made the assertion). Indeed, Registrant’s CBDNaturals.com website contains multiple
`
`references to its products containing cannabidiol. (See printout from the website attached as
`
`Exhibit 3.) CBD is a well-known abbreviation for cannabidiol. (See printouts from Wikipedia and
`
`High Times attached as Exhibit 4.)
`
`7.
`
`Registrant also purposefully omitted information regarding the source of its
`
`cannabidiol at the time it responded to the office action, namely, marijuana plants, with the
`
`express purpose of avoiding a refusal of its application on the grounds that Registrant’s CBD
`
`(cannabidiol) was derived from marijuana. Under USPTO practice, such an admission would
`
`have prevented registration of the Mark since the trademark applicant cannot show that the
`
`goods or services are being lawfully used in commerce because the Controlled Substances Act
`
`(“CSA”) considers marijuana a Schedule I illegal drug. (The CSA makes it unlawful to sell, offer
`
`for sale, or use any facility of interstate commerce to transport drug paraphernalia, including,
`
`“any equipment, product, or material of any kind which is primarily intended or designed for
`
`use in manufacturing, compounding, converting, concealing, producing, processing, preparing,
`
`injecting, ingesting, inhaling or otherwise introducing into the human body a controlled
`
`substance, possession of which is unlawful under the CSA.” 21 U.S.C. § 863(d).)
`
`8.
`
`Registrant’s misleading statement to the Examining Attorney regarding the
`
`significance of the term CBD to the industry and channels of trade in which it operates and its
`
`4835-7935-1406, v. 1
`
`3
`
`
`
`failure to disclose the CBD was derived from marijuana plans were material statements
`
`Registrant made with intent to deceive the Trademark Office to obtain the registration for the
`
`Mark.
`
`9.
`
`Registrant knew the statements it made in the Response to Office Action dated
`
`September 1, 2012 were false when they were made, and Registrant made those false
`
`statements with an intent to deceive the Trademark Office.
`
`10.
`
`The Trademark Office relied upon the false representations of material facts in
`
`issuing the Registration.
`
`11.
`
`The Trademark Office would not have allowed registration of the Mark but for
`
`Respondent's false representations of fact.
`
`12.
`
`Registrant obtained U.S. Registration No. 4,411,518 by fraud by making
`
`knowingly false statements of and omissions of facts in the application that matured into the
`
`Registration with intent to deceive the Trademark Office.
`
`13.
`
`Petitioner believes that it is damaged and will continue to be damaged by the
`
`continued registration of the Mark on the Principal Register.
`
`RELIEF REQUESTED — CANCELLATION
`
`If Registration No. 4,411,518 is permitted to remain on the Principal Register, with all
`
`the presumptions conferred by its status, Petitioner will continue to be subjected to great and
`
`irreparable damage and Respondent will enjoy unlawful gain and advantage to which it is not
`
`entitled under the Lanham Trademark Act of 1946.
`
`
`
`
`
`4835-7935-1406, v. 1
`
`4
`
`
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully requests this Petition be granted, and that
`
`Registration No. 4,411,518 be cancelled under Section 14(3) of the Lanham Federal Trademark
`
`Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1064(3).

`Cannabidiol [CED] is a cannabinoid found in Cannabis. It is a major constituent ofthe
`plant, representing up to 40% in its extractsm
`It has displayed sedative effects in animal tests.[3] Some research, however, indicates that
`(200 can increase alertnessm It may decrease the rate ofTHC clearance from the body,
`perhaps by interfering with the metabolism ofTHC in the liver.
`
`Medically, it has been shown to relieve convulsion, inflammation, anxiety, and nausea, as
`well as inhibit cancer cell growthls] Recent studies have shown cannabidiol to be as effective
`as atypical antipsychotics in treating schizophrenia.[5] Studies have also shown that it may
`relieve symptoms ofdystoniamw]
`In November200f’, it was reported that 000 reduces growth of aggressive human breast
`cancer cells in yi'tro and reduces their invasiveness.
`
`A2000 study published in the British Journal of Psychiatry showed significant differences in
`Oxford-Liverpool Inventory of Feelings and Experiences scores between three groups: The
`first consisted of non-cannabis users, the second consisted ofusers with abs-THC detected,
`and the third consisted of users with both lbs-THC and (330 detected. The flQ-THC only group
`scored significantly higherfor unusual experiences than the dQ-THC and (330 group,
`whereas the flQ-THC and (330 group had significantly lower introveitive anhedonia scores
`than the bQ-THC only group and non-cannabis user group. This research indicates that CEID
`acts as an anti-psychotic and may counteract the potential effects ofTHC on individuals with
`latent schizophrenia.[g]

`
`In 1985 a single case study suggested that CEID may be effective in the management of
`Ievodopa-induced dyskinesia in a Parkinson's Disease patient. [14]
`Studies have shown that CEID may reduce schizophrenic symptoms in patients, likely due to
`their apparent ability to stabilize disrupted or disabled NMDA receptor pathways in the brain,
`which are shared and sometimes contested by norepinephrine and GABAIEHIS] Leweke et al. performed a double blind, 4 week,
`explorative controlled clinical trial to compare the effects of purified cannabidiol and the atypical antipsychotic amisulpride on improving the
`symptoms of schizophrenia in 42 patients with acute paranoid schizophrenia. EIoth treatments were associated with a significant decrease
`ofpsychotic symptoms after2 and 11 weeks as assessed by EIriefF'sychiatric Rating Scale and Positive and Negative Syndrome Scale.
`While there was no statistical difference between the two treatment groups, cannabidiol induced significantly less side effects
`(extrapyramidal symptoms, increase in prolactin, weight gain) when compared to amisulpridens]
`Cannabidio has also been shown as being effective treating an often drug-induced set ofneurological movement disorders known as
`dystoniaIBI In one study, five out offive participants showed noted improvement in their dystonic symptoms by 20-50%.”1 CEID also
`appears to protect against 'binge' alcohol induced neurodegeneration.““[18]
`Cannabidio may block TI IC's interference with memory.[19]
`
`
`
`Pharmacology
`
`[edit]
`
`Cannabidio has no affinity for CEII and CEI2 receptors but acts as an indirect antagonist of cannabinoid agonistsisl Recently it was found
`to be an antagonist at the putative new cannabinoid receptor, GPRSS, a GF'CR expressed in the caudate nucleus and putamenIzD]
`Cannabidio has also been shown to act as a 5-HT1A receptor agonist,[21] an action which is involved in its antidepressantiflflza]
`anxiolytic,[23][24] and neuroprotectivepsmsl effects. Cannabidiol is also an allosteric modulator at the MU and Delta opioid receptor sites.
`[2?]
`Cannabidio has also been shown to inhibit cancer cell growth with low potency in non-cancer cells. Although the inhibitory mechanism is
`not yet fully understood, Ligresti et al. suggest that "cannabidiol exerts its effects on these cells through a combination of mechanisms
`that include either direct or indirect activation of C32 and TRF'VI receptors, and induction of oxidative stress, all contributing to induce
`apoptosis."28] In November2DDF’, researchers at the California Pacific Medical Center reported that CEID shows promise for controlling the
`spread of metastatic breast cancer. In vitro CEID downregulates the activity ofthe gene IDI which is responsible fortumor metastasispg]
`
`Chemistry
`
`[edit]
`
`Cannabidiol is insoluble in water but soluble in organic solvents, such as pentane. At room temperature it is a colorless crystalline solid.
`
`[30] In strongly basic medium and the presence of air it is oxidized to a guinoneian Under acidic conditions it cyclizes to THC.[32] The
`synthesis ofcannabidiol has been accomplished by several research groupsI33H34H35]

`A Cannabis sativa plant may have a CBDiTHC ratio 4-5 times that of Cannabis indica. Marijuana with relatively high ratios ofCElD:THC is
`less likely to induce anxiety than vice versa. This might partial be due to ICElD's antagonist effects at the cannabidanoid receptor,
`compared to THC's partial agonist effect. [3?] The relatively large amount of CElD contained in Cannabis sativa, means. compared to a
`sativa, the effects are modulated significantly. The effects ofSativa are well known for its cerebral high, hence used daytime as medical
`cannabis, while lndica are well known for its sedative effects and preferred night time as medical cannabis.
