`Gaming Realms plc,
`
`
`
`
`
`
`Applicant.
`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Aristocrat Technologies Australia Pty Ltd., an Australian proprietary limited company
`
`located at Building A, Pinnacle Office Park, 85 Epping Road, North Ryde, NSW, 2113,
`
`Australia, and its affiliate company Aristocrat Technologies, Inc., a Nevada corporation
`
`(collectively, “Opposer”), submits that it will be damaged by registration of the mark BUFFALO
`
`RISING, which is the subject of the application filed by Gaming Realms plc, a UK public limited
`
`company located at Two Valentine Place, London, UK SE18QH (“Applicant”). Pursuant to 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1063, Opposer hereby opposes said application and, as grounds for the opposition,
`
`alleges the following:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer is one of the world’s largest and most prominent makers of electronic
`
`gaming machines and electronic gaming software. In recent years, Opposer also has become one
`
`of the world’s largest publishers of social casino-style games—a category of free-to-play video
`
`games available on a smartphone, tablet, or internet browser.
`
`
`
`
`
`

`

`2.
`
`Opposer manufactures, distributes, sells, and licenses its gaming machines,
`
`gaming software, and social casino games and related services (collectively, “Opposer’s
`
`Games”) in a number of countries around the world and conducts a significant portion of its
`
`business in the United States, including through Opposer’s place of business in Las Vegas,
`
`Nevada.
`
`3.
`
`One of Opposer’s most successful offerings is its BUFFALO series of games.
`
`The BUFFALO series includes the original BUFFALO games, as well as many subsequent
`
`versions, such as BUFFALO STAMPEDE and BUFFALO GRAND. Each game has slightly
`
`different features and game play, but all are unified under the BUFFALO name and the games’
`
`instantly recognizable look and feel.
`
`4.
`
`Another of Opposer’s highly successful offerings is its RISING series of games.
`
`Games in the RISING series, such as 5 DRAGONS RISING JACKPOTS and POMPEII RISING
`
`JACKPOTS, feature different themes, but are unified through their shared progressive jackpot
`
`and symbol upgrade structure.
`
`5.
`
`Opposer has used BUFFALO marks, BUFFALO-formative marks, and RISING-
`
`formative marks in connection with the BUFFALO and RISING series of games for many years,
`
`and, as a result, such marks have become closely associated with Opposer and Opposer’s Games.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer owns, among many others, the following federal trademark applications
`
`and registrations, as well as underlying common law rights, for BUFFALO marks and
`
`BUFFALO-formative marks (collectively, “BUFFALO Mark s”) and RISING-formative marks
`
`(“RISING Mark s,” and together with the BUFFALO Marks, “Opposer’s Marks”) for use in
`
`connection with Opposer’s Games:
