`
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Opposer Vans, Inc. (“Vans”), a Delaware corporation with its principal place of business at 1588 South
`
`Coast Drive, Costa Mesa, California 92626, believes that it will be damaged by the registration of the mark
`
`VANGEAR that is the subject of Application Serial No. 88771669, filed by Shenzhen Haituo Zhuoyue E-
`
`commerce Co., Ltd. (“Applicant”).
`
`As grounds for its opposition, Vans alleges the following upon actual knowledge with respect to itself
`
`and its own acts, and upon information and belief as to other matters:
`
`Vans, Its Goods and Services, and Its Famous VANS Trademark
`
`1.
`
`Founded in 1966 in Anaheim, California, by Van Doren brothers Paul and Jim, along with
`
`partners Gordon Lee and Serge Delia, Vans has grown from humble beginnings to become one of the most
`
`well-known and groundbreaking footwear, apparel, and accessory companies in the world.
`
`2.
`
`Vans’ products are widely recognized and extremely popular. The company has achieved
`
`recognition as ranking among the world’s greatest and most recognizable brands. For decades, Vans has
`
`consistently used its iconic VANS trademark in connection with footwear, apparel, accessories, and related
`
`services. The VANS trademark is known throughout the world to indicate the source of Vans’ high-quality
`
`products and services. Over the years, Vans has used its distinctive VANS trademark to sell tens of millions of
`
`pairs of shoes and millions of units of apparel and accessories in the United States.
`
`
`

`
`

`

`3.
`
`Much of Vans’ success is owed to its enduring reputation for creating lasting and durable
`
`products without sacrificing comfort or style, and perhaps just as important, its longstanding and consistent
`
`use of the VANS house mark. The consistent use of its distinctive brand combined with Vans’ peerless
`
`reputation for lifestyle and active shoes, apparel, and accessories, has been instrumental in Vans’ lasting
`
`popularity.
`
`4.
`
`For more than 50 years – long prior to Applicant’s filing date or alleged date of first use –
`
`Vans has consistently used its VANS trademark across Vans’ extensive product line in connection with its
`
`products and services and invested many millions of dollars marketing and promoting the VANS trademark.
`
`5.
`
`Reflecting its significant growth and expansion, Vans owns numerous federal registrations and
`
`applications for its VANS trademarks covering a wide variety of products and services.
`
`6.
`
`For years, Vans has offered and achieved considerable sales on a variety of footwear, apparel,
`
`accessories, and related products prominently bearing the VANS trademark, e.g.:

`
`Vans has sold billions of dollars’ worth of products under its VANS trademark. Vans’ products
`
`bearing its VANS trademark are promoted, offered, and sold nationwide through a wide variety of retail means,
`
`including thousands of retails stores. These retail stores include national, regional, independent, and specialty

`
`websites of many of its retailers, as well as, through Vans’ own proprietary e-commerce websites.
