`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Opposer, Arkema, a corporation organized and existing under the laws of France, of 4-8
`
`Cours Michelet, 92800 Puteaux, France, believes that it would be damaged by issuance of a
`
`registration for the trademark SOLARCOAT! in stylized print, for “solar electric roofing
`
`membranes for converting conventional, industrial, or commercial rooftops to power generation
`
`centers,” as applied for in the above application, and hereby opposes the same. As grounds for
`
`its opposition, Opposer, by its attorneys Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu, P.C.,_alleges as”

`
`1.
`
`A predecessor in title of Opposer adopted and began to use the mark
`
`SOLARKOTE in the United States for acrylic resins molding in 2000. Opposer continues to use
`
`the mark for such goods in the United States. The resins impart resistance to ultraviolet
`
`(sunlight) degradation to vinyl building materials and other plastic materials used outdoors.
`
`2.
`
`Opposer owns U.S. Registration No. 2,451,738, issued May 15, 2001, for the
`
`mark SOLARKOTE for “unprocessed acrylic resins, namely, impact modified acrylic resins for
`
`co-extrusion onto thermoplastic substrates.” Opposer’s registration is valid, subsisting, and in
`
`full force and effect.
`
`3.
`
`The rights of Opposer in Opposer’s SOLARKOTE mark pre-date any rights of
`
`Applicant in the mark here opposed.
`
`4.
`
`On November 5, 2003, Applicant filed the opposed application based on intent-to-
`
`use.
`
`5.
`
`Applicant’s SOLARCOAT! mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s
`
`SOLARKOTE mark, and is thus likely, when applied to the related goods listed in the
`
`application, to cause confusion, mistake or deception, and cause the public to believe that the
`
`goods offered under Applicant’s mark emanate from or are otherwise sponsored by or endorsed
`
`by Opposer, in violation of Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), with
`
`consequent damage to Opposer and the public.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer will be damaged by the issuance of the registration of the mark to
`
`Applicant because such registration will adversely affect Opposer’s mark and goodwill.
`
`WHEREFORE, it is respectfully requested that this opposition be sustained.
`
`
`
` 3 Q
`
`The Opposition fee in the amount of $300 for one class is filed herewith. If for any reason
`
`this amount is insufficient, it is requested that Opposer’s attorneys’ Deposition Account No. 23-
`
`0825-0576900 be charged with any deficiency. This paper is filed in duplicate.

`
`Beach, FL 33160 (“Petitioner”), believing that it is being damaged by the registered mark
`
`TOUCHED shown in registration No. 2,359,612 (“the Registration”) hereby petitions to cancel
`
`the same. To the best of Petitioner's knowledge, the name and address of the current owner of the
`
`registration is Kaplan, Lizabeth, a Citizen of the United States of America, located at 1155 Yogi
`
`Court, Redding, CA 96003. (“Respondent”) As grounds for cancellation, it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Respondent is the owner of record of the registered mark TOUCHED which is
`
`registered in connection with “Skin emollients, skin toners, skin moisturizers, skin clarifiers, skin
`
`texturizers,
`
`skin cleansers, wrinkle removing skin care preparations, exfoliators, cuticle
`
`conditioners, after-shave lotions and hair rinse” (in International Class 3). (U.S. Registration No.
`
`2,359,612.)
`
`2.
`
`Petitioner is the owner of the intent to use in commerce trademark application
`
`Serial # 78/485324 for the mark TOUCH filed on September 17, 2004, to be used in connection
`
`with “Cosmetics, nail polish, and lotions” (in International Class 3) and “Nail care salons” (in
`
`International Class 44).
`
`Petitioner has a continued bona fide intention to use its mark in
`
`interstate commerce.
`
`3.
`
`On April 25, 2005, Petitioner received an Office Action from the USPTO citing
`
`Respondent’s TOUCHED mark as a Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion conflict with its
`
`TOUCH application. Petitioner has standing to file this cancellation as it will be refused
`
`registration of its mark if the cited TOUCHED mark is not cancelled.
`
`4.
`
`Petitioner is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Respondent is the
`
`owner of the Registration and that Respondent’s current address as reported to the Patent and
`
`Trademark Office is 1155 Yogi Court, Redding, CA 96003.
`
`
`
`Petition to Cancel U.S. Reg. No. 2,359,612
`
`5.
`
`Petitioner is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Respondent is no
`
`longer using its TOUCHED mark in any manner. To support its belief, Petitioner retained the
`
`services of a trademark research firm doing business as “Marksmen Brand Protection Services.”
`
`(See Attached Marksmen report Labeled Exhibit #1) The reports indicate that the mark
`
`TOUCHED does not appear to be in use. In fact, an individual contacted at Repondent"s former
`
`address indicated that Lizabeth Kaplan was deceased.
`
`(See Exhibit #1 at page 1) These
`
`Marksmen reports give a detailed account of the apparent
`
`lack of use of Respondent’s
`
`Registration.
`
`7.
`
`Petitioner is informed and believes and thereon alleges that Respondent no longer
`
`provides or intends to provide goods and/or services in connection with the TOUCHED
`
`trademark.
`
`8.
`
`Based on the foregoing, Petitioner is informed and believes and thereon alleges
`
`that Respondent has abandoned the Registration.
`
`9.
`
`If Respondent’s Registration is not cancelled, Respondent will own the prima
`
`facie exclusive right to use in commerce the TOUCHED mark on goods and services that the
`
`Examining Attorney believes are related to the goods and services to be offered by Petitioner in
`
`connection with its TOUCH application. The Registration would be a source of damage and
`
`injury to Petitioner because it could prevent the Patent and Trademark Office from issuing a
`
`registration for the TOUCH mark to Petitioner.
`
`10. Wherefore, Petitioner prays that this Petition be sustained and that Registration
`
`No. 2,359,612 for the mark TOUCHED be cancelled in its entirety.
