`Pursuant to 37 CFR § 2.122 and Chapter 700 of the Trademark Trial and Appeal
`
`Board Manual of Procedure (“TBMP”), Petitioner Galderma, S.A. ("Galderma") intends to
`
`rely on the following documents in support of its opposition:
`
`1.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.122(e)(2) and TBMP § 704.08(b), true and correct
`
`copies of pages
`
`from Registrant, Abante, LLC’s
`
`(“Abante”)
`
`internet website,
`
`www.abantebeauty.com; attached as Exhibit 1. This is relevant to demonstrate non-use of
`
`Abante’s ABANTE Mark1 and Abante’s abandonment of the ABANTE Mark.
`
`2.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.122(b), the prosecution history of Abante’s U.S.
`
`Trademark Application No. 87600856 for the ABANTE Mark, including the file history and
`

`
`by Abante that it was actively using the ABANTE Mark in U.S. commerce in connection
`
`with all of the goods identified in this application on the date of filing, and to demonstrate
`
`that Abante committed fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
`
`
`The term “ABANTE Mark” means Abante’s ABANTE Mark, identified in U.S. Trademark Registration
`1
`No. 5443036 and in Galderma’s Second Amended Petition for Cancellation in this proceeding.
`
`
`
`

`

`
`U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, showing status and title in Abante; attached as Exhibit 3.
`
`This is relevant to show that this registration is valid and subsisting and owned by Abante,
`
`and to demonstrate Abante committed fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office in
`
`procuring this registration.
`
`4.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.122(e) and TBMP § 704.03(b)(2), true and correct
`
`copies of the October 1, 2020 Office Action, June 2, 2021 Final Office Action, and February
`
`27, 2023 Suspension Letter issued by the USPTO in connection with Galderma’s U.S.
`
`Trademark Application No. 90/020,016 for ABONT; attached as Exhibit 4. This is relevant
`
`to demonstrate Galderma is actively being harmed by the continued registration of the
`
`ABANTE Mark, and that it is entitled to bring and maintain this cancellation action.
`
`5.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.122(e)(2) and TBMP § 704.08(b), a true and correct
`
`image from Abante’s inactive internet website, www.abantegives.org; attached as Exhibit 5.
`
`This is relevant to demonstrate non-use of Abante’s ABANTE Mark, Abante’s abandonment
`
`of the ABANTE Mark, and that Abante committed fraud on the U.S. Patent and Trademark
`
`Office.
`
`6.
`
`Pursuant to 37 C.F.R. § 2.122(e)(2) and TBMP § 704.08(b), a true and correct

`Official USPTO Courtesy Reminder: Trademark Registration Maintenance Document Must Be Fil ed Before Deadline for U.S. Trademark Registration
`No. 5443036 ABANTE
`USPTO COURTESY REMINDER
`
`TRADEMARK REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE DOCUMENT UNDER SECTION 8 MUST BE FILED BEFORE DEADLINE OR
`REGISTRATION WILL BE CANCELLED
` 
`U.S. Application Serial No.  87600856
`U.S. Registration No.  5443036
`U.S. Registration Date:  April 10, 2018
`Mark:  ABANTE
`Owner:  Abante, LLC
`Docket/Reference No. 
` 
`Issue Date:   April 10, 2023
`
`Required submission.  The owner of the trademark registration must file a Declaration of Use and/or Excusable Nonuse Under Section 8 (Section 8 Declaration) between
`now and April 10, 2024.   For an additional fee, the owner can file within the 6-month grace period that ends on October 10, 2024.
` 
`Optional submission.  If the owner can claim the benefits of incontestability, the owner may file an optional Declaration of Incontestability under Section 15.   This may be
`combined with the required Section 8 Declaration by filing a Combined Declaration of Use and Incontestability Under Sections 8 and 15 (Combined Sections 8 and 15
`Declaration). 
` 
`If ownership of the registration or the owner's name has changed, the owner can use the Electronic Trademark Assignment System (ETAS) to record the
`change.  More information on changes of ownership/owner name is available on the USPTO website.
` 
`Click here for more information about maintaining a trademark registration.
` 
`Proof of Use Audit.  The USPTO is conducting an audit program to promote the accuracy and integrity of the trademark register.  If a registration is selected for audit, the
`holder/owner will be required to submit proof of use for additional goods/services for which use is claimed in a Section 8 Declaration.  Detailed information about the program is
`available on the Proof of Use Audit Program webpage.
` 
`Determination of time of receipt by USPTO.  Correspondence transmitted through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS) is considered filed on the date the
`USPTO receives the transmission in Eastern Time.
`
`If the owner fails to file a timely Section 8 Declaration the registration will be CANCELLED and cannot be reinstated.
`
`This reminder notice is being sent only as a courtesy to trademark owners who maintain a current email address with the USPTO.   Failure by the USPTO to send a
`reminder or non-receipt of a reminder does not excuse a trademark owner from meeting the statutory obligations for maintaining a registration.
`
`Foreign-domiciled owners must have a U.S.-licensed attorney represent them at the USPTO in any post-registration filing.
` 
`Beware of misleading notices sent by private companies about registrations.   Private companies not associated with the USPTO use public information available in
`trademark registrations to mail and email trademark-related offers and notices - most of which require fees.  All official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the
`domain "@uspto.gov."
` 
`Direct questions about this notice to the Trademark Assistance Center at 1-800-786-9199 (select option 1) or TrademarkAssistanceCenter@uspto.gov.
