`
`Opposition No. 91193704
`
`Opposer,
`
`v.
`
`Application Serial No. 77617945
`Mark: BIG CAT
`
`Application Date: November 19, 2008
`
`Application Date: November 20, 2008
`
`BIG CAT ENERGY CORPORATION,
`
`Application Serial No. 77618417
`Mark: BIG CAT and Design
`
`Applicant.
`
`DECLARATION OF MICHAEL R. JUSTUS IN SUPPORT OF
`
`OPPOSER’S COMBINED REPLY AND RESPONSE TO
`
`APPL|CANT’S CROSS-MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT
`
`I, Michael R. Justus, declare as follows:
`
`1.
`
`I am employed as an attorney with the law firm of Finnegan, Henderson,
`
`Farabow, Garrett, & Dunner, LLP (“Finnegan”), counsel of record for Opposer
`
`Caterpillar Inc. (“Caterpillar”) in this proceeding. The facts set forth in this Declaration
`
`are based upon my personal knowledge and/or records obtained from the U.S. Patent
`
`and Trademark Office (“PTO”) or from Caterpillar.
`
`2.
`
`Big Cat Energy Inc. is listed as the current record owner of U.S.
`
`Registration No. 3737407 for the mark ARID for “Gas well equipment, namely, well bore
`
`fluid redistribution equipment" in Class 7, which claims a date of first use in commerce
`
`of February 28, 2006 (the “AR|D Registration”). Based on the USPTO online records,
`
`the ARID Registration is valid and subsisting. (See TSDR printout and registration
`
`certificate enclosed as Exhibit A.)
`
`3.
`
`I reviewed the file history of the ARID Registration on the United States
`
`Patent and Trademark Office website. The specimen submitted in support of the ARID
`
`

`
`Registration (copy enclosed as Exhibit B) includes a depiction of a device that appears
`
`to be identical to the device shown in the specimens for opposed App. Serial Nos.
`
`77618417 and 77617945 (copies enclosed as Exhibits C and D, respectively).
`
`4.
`
`The specimen submitted in support of the ARID Registration includes a
`
`number of documents and photographs that appear to be identical to documents and
`
`photographs included in the specimen for opposed App. Serial No. 77618417 for the
`
`BIG CAT & Design mark, including documents that include only the ARID mark and not
`
`the BIG CAT & Design mark. (See Exhibits B, C.)
`
`5.
`
`The ARID Registration claims a date of first use in commerce identical to
`
`the date of first use in commerce claimed in opposed Application Serial Nos. 77618417
`
`and 77617945, i.e., February 28, 2006.
`
`6.
`
`Press releases on the Big Cat Energy website at www.bigcatenergy.com
`
`consistently refer to Big Cat Energy’s product as the “ARlD too|,” “AR|D technology,"
`
`and “ARlD System.” Many such references include use of the TM symbol or ® symbol
`
`after the ARID mark. Such press releases do not refer to a “BIG CAT too|," “BIG CAT
`
`technology,” or “BIG CAT System.” (See printouts of press releases enclosed as
`
`Exhibit E.)
`
`7.
`
`The Big Cat Energy websites at www.bigcatenergy.com and
`
`wvvw.aridtoo|.com consistently refer to App|icant’s technology covered by the opposed
`
`applications under the mark ARID. (See website printouts and brochure downloaded
`
`from aridtoo|.com website enclosed as Exhibit F.)
`
`

`
`8.
`
`The media and public associate Applicant’s technology exclusively with
`
`the ARID mark as illustrated by a NEXIS search of media mentions of Big Cat Energy
`
`and its ARID technology. (See representative articles enclosed as Exhibit G.)
`
`9.
`
`Caterpillar was recently awarded #20 overall on Fortune magazine's 2013
`
`list of the World’s Most Admired Companies and #1 in the “|ndustria| and Farm
`
`Equipment” category. (See website printout enclosed as Exhibit H.)
`
`I declare under penalty of perjury that the foregoing is true and correct pursuant to 28
`
`u.s.c. § 1746.

`
`A REVOLUTIONARY New Mmion
`or PRODUCED WATER HANDLING
`
`Big Cat Energy Corporation has the patent rights to a new technology called Aquifer Recharge Injection
`Device (ARIDJ which allows Coal Bed Methane (CBM) operators to re—inject produced water at a fraction
`of the cost of current technology. This technology will he used by Big Cat Energy Corporation on a
`number ofwells in Wyoming.
`
`The ARID tool uses the existing well bare to move water from the target coal seam to a shallower
`depleted aquifer of similar water quality. With the ARID toot and process in use. the production well witl
`not require the discharge at any produced water. or the use of a separate re—injeclion well for any of the
`produced water. The produced water never leaves the well bore as it is redirected into different aquifer
`zones. These aquifers are easily identified from the geophysical logs the company runs to confirm the
`coal zones when the well is first drilled.

`BIG CAT ENERGY'S ARID AQUIFER RECHARGE SYSTEM NOW U1'|L|ZED BY MAJOR
`REGIONAL CBM NATURAL GAS PRODUCERS TO REDUCE ENVIRONMENTAL FOOTPRINT
`AND OPERATING COSTS
`
`Upton, Wyoming (January 12,. 2010) Big Cat Energy Corporation (www.bigcatenergy.com} (“Big Cat")
`(BCTE: OTCBB), the supplier of the ARID Aquifer Recharge injection System that eliminates surface
`discharge of produced water from unconventional coal seam natural gas wells, coal mining operations,
`and large scale aquifer enhancement projects has now achieved successful ARID System installations
`with each of the major regional coalbed methane (CBM) gas producers.
`
`"We are now effectively moving large quantifies of CBM produced water in production wells for all the
`major CBM operators in the Powder River Basin.," said Tim Barntt, President and CEO of Big Cat
`Energy Corp "The current period oflow natural gas prices, along with the environmental issues of
`surface discharge, has made CBM operators take a hard look at their traditional water management
`costs and practices. We are proud that the Big Cat's ARID system is now considered a "Best Practice"
`solution to a complex environmental and economic problem," Mr. Barrrtt added.
`
`Where the ARID Aquifer Recharge Injection System has been installed, operators are cutting their
`water handling costs by up to ?5%. Those companies using the ARID System are also living up to
`their promise to reduce their environmental footprint. These companies should be commended for
`helping save some of the 650 million barrels of fresh water that is usually discharged annually by the
`CBM industry.
`
`"We are excited by the progress we are seeing with the ARID System installations," said Ray Murphy,
`COO of Big Cat Energy Corp. "Due to our successfulAR|D System installations, the CBM operators
`have initiated reviews of several more field locations where ARlD Systems will be more cost effective
`than surface discharge. These installations are a precursorto new CBM development that will take
`place in 2010 and with the increased difficulties in obtaining surface discharge permits, ARID is
`starting to be considered the only alternative for handling produced water." added Mr. Murphy
`
`About Big Cat Energy Corporation

`BIG CAT ENERGY ANNOUNCES THREE NEW CBM OPERATORS OOMMENCES PILOT
`PROJECTS WITH THE ARID TOOL
`
`Upton, Wyoming, March 9, 2009 — Big Cat Energy Corporation, {OTCBB: BCTE}, has added three
`more Coal Bed Methane (CBM) operators, one of which is J.lVl. Huber, to its ever growing list of
`producers wanting to test the ARID technology, Each of the new companies has operations in
`Wyoming's Powder River Basin. Tim Barritt: CEO and President of Big Cat Energy, said "With the
`weakening of the US. gas prices operators are now realizing just how large the cost savings is using
`the ARID System and how it affords them the ability to Keep wells operating even at current market
`levels and below."
`
`Big Cat Energy is currently working on approximately 51 permit applications from a variety of (IBM
`operators and continues to add to that number as new projects develop from existing clients and new
`operators who want to begin pilot projects in there respective areas. Once the pilot projects prove
`successful, the Company should realize significant future sales from these operators.
`
`in February 2009, Big Cat Energy staff gave a tour to officials from the Wyoming Department of
`Environmental Quality to get them more familiar with the operations of an ARID Tool in a CBM well.
`The tour went very well with questions asked from both sides ranging from ARID Tool mechanical
`operations to permitting guidelines to help streamline l.he Underground Injection Control permitting
`process
`
`New areas of interest for Big Cat Energy are projects in the Ralph basin in southern Colorado and
`northern New Mexico. Producers in the Raton Basin are looking at the viability and cost saving
`advantages of ARID as an alternate water handling method. As managing water produced by CBM
`wells becomes more difficult for producers, Big Cat Energy and the ARlD system has give them new
`ways to conserve precious water and save money. By Re—injecting produced water from the coal bed
`into a comparable receiving sand zone, located above or below the producing coal zone in the same
`well bore, producers are not only saving up to 85% in water handling costs they are storing a valuable
`natural resource for later use. About Big Cat Energy Corporation.

`BIG CAT STARTS WORK ON EXPANDED PILOT WELL PROJECT NEW PROJECT AREA TO BE
`STUDIED FOR POSSFBLE ADDITIONAL ARID TOOL INSTALLATTONS
`
`Upton, Wyoming (August 1D, 2009) Big Cat Energy Corporation ("Big Cat”) (BCTE. OTCBB), a leading
`supplier of water handling technology and services to the coalbed methane industry, is pleased to
`announce that it has commenced installation of its ARID tool and technology on an expanded pilot well
`drilling project with Yates Petroleum. Big Cat Energy along with Yates Petroleum has begun the
`Installation ofARlD tools in a new field near Arvada Wyoming. "This is a big step forward for the long—
`standing relationship between Big Cat and Yates Petroleum," said Mr Tim Barritl, President and CEO
`of Big Cat Energy. "This is the first ARID tool installation for Yates Petroleum and the first of six sites
`permitted for Yates in this area by Big Cat Energy." Big Cat Energy is working to get the remaining five
`sites completed for Yates Petroleum within the next few months. Upon completion of a successful test,
`Yates has asked Big Cat Energy to start looking at wells in other areas.
`
`Big Cat Energy has several test sites for CBM producing companies now in place in the Powder River
`Basin In all sites currently in operation‘ the ARID system has exceeded performance expectations.
`More and more CBM producers are looking at the ARID system to become their first choice in water
`handiing. CBM companies have realized a large cost savings using the ARID system for water
`handling, as apposed to other water handling methods and have witnessed the ability of the ARID
`system to leave in place and conserve the produced water for future use by land owners.
`
`Further information regarding the progress of this project and other Big Cat business development will
`be made in subseq
