`
`Opposer,
`
`
`
`v.
`
`
`MONSTER ENERGY COMPANY,
`
`
`
`
`
`INTERNATIONAL FOODSTUFFS CO LLC,
`
`
`
`
`
`Applicant.
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`
`Commissioner for Trademarks
`P.O. Box 1451
`Alexandria, VA 22313-1451
`
`
`
`Monster Energy Company, a Delaware corporation, located and doing business at
`
`1 Monster Way, Corona, California 92879, (“Opposer”) believes that it will be damaged by
`
`registration of U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 88/206743 (the “Application”) for the
`
`mark COOKIE MONSTA filed by International Foodstuffs Co LLC (“Applicant”) and therefore
`
`opposes the same.
`
`
`
`As grounds for opposition, it is alleged:
`
`1.
`
`By the Application filed on November 27, 2018, Applicant seeks to obtain
`
`registration on the Principal Register of the trademark COOKIE MONSTA for “Chocolates and
`
`Chocolate-based ingredients for use in confectionery products, chocolate bars, chocolate cakes,
`
`and desserts; Biscuits” in International Class 30. Applicant’s Application is based on
`
`Applicant’s alleged intent-to-use the mark in interstate commerce.
`
`
`
`- 1 -
`
`

`

`2.
`
`Since at least 2002, long before the filing date of the Application, Opposer has
`
`been, and still is, engaged in the development, marketing, and/or sale of beverages, nutritional
`
`supplements, and other products under the marks MONSTERTM and MONSTER ENERGY® and
`
`related marks, all containing “MONSTER.” Opposer’s family of MONSTER Marks includes,
`
`for example, the following: MONSTERTM, MONSTER ENERGY®, M MONSTER ENERGY®,
`
`MONSTER REHAB®, MUSCLE MONSTER®, ESPRESSO MONSTER®, JAVA MONSTER®,
`
`KONA CAPPUCCINO M JAVA MONSTER®, CAFFÉ MONSTER®, LOCA MOCA JAVA
`
`MONSTER®, MONSTER MAXX®, LO-CARB MONSTER ENERGY®, MONSTER ENERGY
`
`EXTRA STRENGTH NITROUS TECHNOLOGY®, MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA®,
`
`MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA VIOLET®, MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA BLUE®, MONSTER
`
`ENERGY ABSOLUTELY ZERO®, MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA RED®, MONSTER
`
`ENERGY ULTRA BLACK®, MONSTER ENERGY ULTRA CITRON®, MONSTER
`
`ENERGY ZERO ULTRA®, PUNCH MONSTER®, MONSTER ASSAULT®, JUICE
`
`MONSTER®, MONSTER HYDRO®, and UBERMONSTER® (hereinafter collectively the
`
`“MONSTER Marks”).
`
`3.
`
`Since at least before the filing date of the Application, Opposer has continuously
`
`used and promoted its MONSTER Marks. By virtue of Opposer’s continuous and substantial use,
`
`the MONSTER Marks have become famous identifiers of Opposer such that consumers have
`
`come to recognize a family of MONSTER Marks with which Opposer markets and sells its
`
`goods and services. Opposer’s family of MONSTER Marks is the subject of substantial and
`
`continuous marketing and promotion by Opposer in connection with its MONSTER line of
`
`drinks and many other products.
`
`
`
`
`
`- 2 -
`
`

`

`4.
`
`Opposer’s beverages bearing its MONSTER Marks have been and/or are
`
`currently sold or distributed at locations throughout the U.S., including where sweets and other
`
`food and beverage items are sold for consumption off-premise, such as grocery stores,
`
`convenience stores, club stores, and gas station stores, and for consumption on-premise such as
`
`restaurants, bars, sports venues, theme parks and cinemas.
`
`5.
`
`Opposer has and continues to widely market and promote its family of
`
`MONSTER Marks in the industry and to consumers by, for example, displaying the MONSTER
`
`Marks extensively on billions of cans of beverages and nutritional supplements; on apparel,
`
`merchandise, and on product samplings; on promotional and point of sale materials; in
`
`magazines
`
`and other
`
`industry publications; on
`
`the monsterenergy.com website,
`
`monsterarmy.com website and other Internet websites and social media sites; and at trade shows,
`
`concert tours and live events. In addition, Opposer promotes the MONSTER Marks through, for
`
`example, the sponsorship of music festivals, athletes, and sports events that are televised
`
`nationwide and internationally.
`
`6.
`
`By virtue of Opposer’s continuous and substantial use, the MONSTER Marks have
`
`become famous identifiers of Opposer such that consumers have come to recognize a family of
`
`MONSTER Marks with which Opposer markets and sells its goods and services. As a result,
`
`Opposer has built up, at great expense and effort, valuable goodwill in its family of MONSTER
`
`Marks and has developed strong common law rights in the marks. Opposer relies on its common
`
`law rights in its family of MONSTER Marks, which rights predate the filing date of the
`
`Application.1
`
`
`1 Opposer has also obtained California Trademark Registration No. 108,124 for the mark MONSTER for
`“fruit juice drinks, soft drinks, carbonated soft drinks and soft drinks enhanced with vitamins, minerals, nutrients,
`amino acids and/or herbs, aerated water, soda water and seltzer water” in International Class 32, which registration
`issued April 24, 2002.
