`
`2.
`
`3.
`
`Applicant Denies the matters asserted in Paragraph 3 of the Notice of Opposition.
`
`Applicant does not have sufficient information to form a belief as to the
`
`truth of the matters asserted in Paragraphs 4-8 of the Notice of Opposition and
`
`therefore denies same.

`AFFRIMATIVE DEFENSES
`
`In further answer to the Notice of Opposition, Applicant sets forth the following
`
`grounds of defense:
`
`FIRST AFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
`
`Opposer’s Notice of Opposition fails to state a claim upon which relief can be
`
`granted, and, more specifically, fails to state legally sufficient grounds for sustaining its
`
`opposition.
`
`SECONDAFFIRMATIVE DEFENSE
`
`The Opposer’s purported rights extend no further than to the specific marks that
`
`Opposer alleges it owns, none of which are the same as, or confusingly similar to,
`
`Applicant’s mark in terms of connotation, appearance, and/or pronunciation.
`
`

`
`RELIEF REQUESTED
`
`WHEREFORE, Applicant respectfully requests that this opposition proceeding be
`dismissed, with prejudice.
