`
`character (Serial no. 88734503) (cid:507)(cid:515)Registrant’s Mark(cid:516)(cid:508) in international class 010 for

`
`On June (cid:343)(cid:343), (cid:344)(cid:342)(cid:344)(cid:342), Petitioner’s trademark application serial no. 88890241 for the FEEKE
`
`mark received a non-final office action, in which the Examiner issued a Prior-Filed
`
`Application advisory initially refusing to register Petitioner’s Feeke mark, citing
`

`
`10.

`13. On information and belief, Registrant may only assert a first use in commerce of
`
`Registrant’s Mark as of May 24, 2019, more than four (4) years after Petitioner adopted
`
`and begun use of Petitioner’s Marks.
`
`14.
`
`Registrant is not entitled to use or register the mark that is subject to this Cancellation.
`
`15.
`
`Petitioner has priority over Registrant’s Mark. Accordingly, registration of Registrant’s
`
`Mark is improper under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d).
`
`III.
`
`LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`16.
`
`Paragraphs 1 – 15, above, are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`
`
`[4]
`
`
`
`17.
`
`Persons familiar with the Petitioner’s Marks, upon seeing the goods provided under
`
`Registrant’s Mark, would likely believe, and would be justified in so believing, that such
`
`goods originated from Petitioner or were provided in association, connection, or
`
`affiliation with, or under sponsorship, approval, or authorization by Petitioner.
`
`18.
`
`Registrant’s Mark is identical to Petitioner’s Marks.
`
`19.
`
`The goods sold under Registrant’s Mark are nearly identical to those goods sold under
`
`Petitioner’s Marks.
`
`20.
`
`Specifically, Registrant’s baby products are nearly identical to Petitioner’s baby powder
`
`products.
`
`21.
`
`Petitioner is entitled under the Expansion-of-Trade Doctrine to an expansion of its
`
`trademark rights granted in its registration of the FEEKE mark (Reg. no. 5141454) and
`
`the goods listed in Petitioner’s new trademark applications, as identified in Exhibit A,
`
`fall into the natural scope of expansion of Petitioner’s goods.
`
`22. On information and belief, the channels of trade for Registrant’s goods and the channels
`
`of trade for Petitioner’s goods are the same.
`
`23.
`
`Specifically, on information and belief, both Registrant and Petitioner sell their
`
`respective products through e-commerce websites, such as Amazon.
`
`24. When viewed by consumers, the trademark that is subject of this Cancellation is likely
`
`to be confused with Petitioner’s Marks.
`
`25.
`
`Registrant’s adoption and use of Registrant’s Mark is without the license or permission
`
`of Petitioner.
`
`
`
`[5]
`
`
`
`26.
`
`For the reasons set forth above and because Registrant’s Mark will likely cause
`
`confusion or mistake, or to deceive the public as to the source of goods, continued
`
`registration of Registrant’s Mark violates Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. §
`
`1052(d).
`
`27. As the known source of goods offered under Petitioner’s Marks, consumers would
`
`likely believe that the goods identified in Registrant’s Mark emanate from Petitioner
`
`due to the identical marks, nearly identical products, and identical channels of trade.
`
`This likelihood of confusion will damage Petitioner within the mean of 15 U.S.C. § 1063.
`
`IV.
`
`FALSE DESIGNATION OF A CONNECTION
`
`28.
`
`Paragraphs 1 – 27, above, are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`29.
`
`Registrant’s Mark incorporates and appropriates the distinctive element and formation
`
`of Petitioner’s Marks, as Registrant’s Mark is identical to Petitioner’s Marks.
`
`30. As such, the consuming public will (cid:507)mistakenly(cid:508) identify and recognize Registrant’s
`
`goods and Petitioner’s goods as originating from the same source.
`
`31. However, Petitioner has no connection to Registrant or its activities.
`
`32.
`
`Registrant’s use of Registrant’s Mark in connection with cosmetic products creates a
`
`false suggestion of affiliation with, or sponsorship by, Petitioner.
`
`33.
`
`By creating a false and misleading suggestion of affiliation, Registrant’s Mark is in
`
`violation of Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1125(a).
`
`
`
`[6]
`
`
`
`V.
`
`FRAUDULENT ALLEGATION OF USE IN COMMERCE
`
`34.
`
`Paragraphs 1 – 33, above, are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`35.
`
`Registrant’s application for Registrant’s Mark contains the statement that (cid:515)[t]he
`
`applicant … is using the mark in commerce,(cid:516) and that (cid:515)the mark was first used at least
`
`as early as May 24, 2019, and first used in commerce at least as early as May 24, 2019,
`
`and is now in use in such commerce.(cid:516) The application also contains a standard
`
`declaration as to the truth of Registrant’s statements in the application.
`
`36. On information and belief, Registrant did not, and has not, used in interstate commerce
`
`in the United States or for any commercial purposes Registrant’s Mark in connection
`
`with any or all of the goods listed in the application at any time.
`
`37. On information and belief, the specimen submitted in the application to register
`
`Registrant’s Mark does not show any commercial goods provided under Registrant’s
`
`Mark as the specimen appears to be digitally altered.
`
`38. On December 20, 2019, Registrant, through its attorney, signed a use-based trademark
`
`application for Registrant’s Mark. “s part of the allegation, Registrant included a sworn
`
`statement that the FEEKE mark was in use in commerce with all of the goods identified
`
`in its application, namely: (cid:515)Abdominal hernia belts; Acupressure pillows; Adult sexual
`
`stimulation aids, namely, artificial penises, penis enlargers, vibrators, benwa balls,
`
`artificial vaginas; Anti-nausea wristbands; Baby bottle nipples; Baby bottles; Back
`
`supports for medical purposes; Chiropractic instruments; Constriction rings for use in
`
`
`
`[7]
`
`
`
`maintaining penile rigidity in men with erectile dysfunction; Corsets for therapeutic
`
`use; Cosmetic apparatus, namely, light based devices providing mainly pulsed light for
`
`performing non-ablative aesthetic skin treatment procedures; Electric massage
`
`appliances, namely, electric vibrating massager; Lasers for the cosmetic treatment of the
`
`face, skin, hair follicles; Massage chairs; Medical apparatus, namely, continuous positive
`
`airway pressure (CPAP) devices; Orthopaedic belts; Orthopedic support bandages;
`
`Sanitary masks for medical wellness purposes; Sex toys; Thermometers for medical
`
`use(cid:516).
`
`39. On information and belief, Registrant has not ever used Registrant’s Mark in connection
`
`with the sale of all the goods identified in Registrant’s Mark and its application.
`
`40.
`
`Said statement in Registrant’s application was made by an authorized agent of
`
`Registrant with the knowledge and belief that said statement was false.
`
`41.
`
`Registrant knew that the representations were false.
`
`42. On information and belief, Registrant made false statements as to the use of Registrant’s
`
`Mark in commerce and the first use dates of that mark with the intent to procure a
`
`registration to which Registrant was not entitled, and Registrant was successful in
`
`procuring favorable registration of Registrant’s Mark.
`
`43. On information and belief, Registrant’s false statements were made knowingly.
`
`Registrant made knowingly false statements as to the use of Registrant’s Mark in
`
`commerce and the first use dates of that mark with the intent to procure a registration
`
`
`
`[8]
`
`
`
`to which Registrant was not entitled, and Registrant was successful in procuring
`
`favorable Registration.
`
`44. “s Registrant has never used Registrant’s Mark in commerce in connection with any or
`
`all of the goods listed in the registration, Registrant’s Mark should be cancelled.
`
`VI.
`
`FRAUDULENT SPECIMEN OF USE
`
`45.
`
`Paragraphs 1 – 44, above, are realleged and incorporated herein by reference as if set
`
`forth in full.
`
`46.
`
`In Registrant’s application to register Registrant’s Mark, Registrant submitted a
`
`specimen of an Amazon webpage.
`
`47. On information and belief, the alleged specimen was digitally altered to include the (cid:515)by
`
`Feeke(cid:516) name.
`
`48.
`
`The current listing of this (cid:515)Restraints for Sex(cid:516) product, identifies the seller or brand as
`
`(cid:515)Unknown(cid:516) and the product is listed as unavailable as seen in Exhibit B attached
`
`hereto.
`
`49. On information and belief, Registrant made the false statements as to the use of the
`
`specimen with the intent to procure a registration to which Registrant was not entitled,
`
`and Registrant was successful in procuring favorable Registration.
`
`50. On information and belief, Registrant’s false statements were made knowingly.
`
`Registrant knowingly made false statement as to the use of the specimen with the intent
`
`to procure a registration to which Registrant was not entitled, and Registrant was
`
`successful in procuring favorable Registration.
`
`
`
`[9]
`
`
`
`VII. CONCLUSION
`
`51.
`
`The continued registration of Registrant’s Mark is inconsistent with Petitioner’s rights
`
`in its FEEKE mark and will cause damage to Petitioner trademark and business.
`
`52. U.S. Registration No. 6096267 should be cancelled because Petitioner has priority to
`
`Petitioner’s Marks and because Registrant’s Mark is likely to cause confusion with
`
`Petitioner’s Marks. Continued registration of Registrant’s Mark will cause damage to
`
`Petitioner’s business.
`
`WHEREFORE, Petitioner respectfully prays that its Petition be sustained and that the
`
`Board cancel U.S. Registration No. 6096267.
`
`
`Dated this 14th day of July 2020.
`
`Petitioner submits herewith the requisite filing fee of $400.00 for this cancellation.
`
`
`Respectfully submitted,
