`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`Opposer Space Exploration Technologies Corp. (“SpaceX” or “Opposer”) believes that it
`
`will be damaged by the registration of the mark “SPACE X” (the “Gursatya Mark”) as set forth in
`
`Application Serial Number 90/513,062 (the “Gursatya Application”), by Gursatya Wholesale LLC
`
`(“Applicant”).
`
`
`
`As grounds for this opposition it is alleged that:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer is a pioneering private aerospace company and provider of space launch
`
`services. For over 15 years, SpaceX has used its famous trademark SPACEX in connection with
`
`designing, manufacturing, and launching advanced rockets and spacecraft (“Opposer’s Goods and
`
`Services”). Additionally, SpaceX provides satellite internet services via its groundbreaking
`
`STARLINK program.
`
`2.
`
`As a result of Opposer’s success, innovation, and achievements, the SPACEX mark
`
`has come to embody the substantial and valuable reputation and goodwill that SpaceX has garnered
`
`in the marketplace. Indeed, the mark is readily recognized among the general consuming public.
`
`
`
`86059947.1
`
`
`
`

`

`
`
`3.
`
`Opposer’s SPACEX mark has been covered extensively by prominent publications
`
`such as The New York Times, The Washington Post, The Chicago Tribune, The Los Angeles
`
`Times, USA Today, Fortune, and TIME. Opposer’s SPACEX mark has also received significant
`
`coverage in online media as well as on television and radio.
`

`
`Opposer owns the following United States Trademark Registrations for its
`

`
`
`5.
`
`The foregoing registrations are hereinafter collectively referred to as the “SPACEX
`
`Registrations.” Copies of the SPACEX Registrations and printouts from the U.S. Patent and
`
`Trademark Office database showing current title and status of such registrations are attached
`
`hereto. The underlying marks of the SPACEX Registrations are referred to hereinafter as the
`
`“SPACEX Marks”.
`
`6.
`
`Registration Numbers 3,066,872 and 4,267,520 are incontestable, pursuant to 15
`
`U.S.C. § 1065.
`
`7.
`
`Opposer has expended substantial monies marketing, advertising, and promoting
`
`the SPACEX Marks and, through such sales and advertising, has generated substantial goodwill
`
`
`
`86059947.1
`
`3
`
`

`

`
`
`and customer recognition in such marks. Opposer has derived substantial revenues from its sales
`
`of Opposer’s Goods and Services under the SPACEX Marks.
`
`8.
`
`As a result of the marketing, sales and success of Opposer’s Goods and Services
`
`under the SPACEX Marks, and of the public’s widespread use of Opposer’s Goods and
`
`Services, such goods have come to be, and now are, well and favorably known under the
`
`SPACEX Marks as products and services of high quality.
`
`9.
`
`Indeed, Opposer’s SPACEX mark is widely recognized and considered distinctive
`
`and famous by the general consuming public.
`
`10.
`
`Opposer’s SPACEX Marks are famous and were famous long prior to any date on
`
`which Applicant can rely for use of its proposed mark SPACE X in connection with the goods
`
`listed in the Gursatya Application.
`
`11.
`
`Applicant filed the subject Gursatya Application on February 5, 2021, seeking
`
`registration on the Principal Register in connection with “Electric oral vaporizers for smoking
`
`purposes; smokeless cigarette vaporizer pipe; glass smoking pipes; electronic cigarettes;
`
`electronic cigarette liquid (e-liquid) comprised of flavorings in liquid form, other than essential
`
`oils, used to refill electronic cigarette cartridges; vaporizer glassware, namely, smokeless
`
`tobacco vaporizer pipe; Glass smoking pipes and oral vaporizers used for smo king purposes;
`
`Tobacco grinders” in International Class 34 (“Applicant’s Goods”).
`
`12.
`
`Upon information and belief, Applicant has not acquired any rights in the
`
`Gursatya Mark for the goods described in the Gursatya Application in the United States before
`
`its filing date of February 5, 2021.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`86059947.1
`
`4
`
`

`

`
`
`COUNT I – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`13.
`
`Opposer repeats and re-allege the allegations set forth in paragraphs 1-12 as fully
`
`set forth therein.
`
`14.
`
`The Gursatya Mark is similar in sight, sound, connotation, and overall
`
`commercial impression to Opposer’s SPACEX Marks. Applicant’s “SPACE X” mark merely
`
`adds a space between the term “SPACE” and the letter “X” in Opposer’s SPACEX Marks.
`
`15.
`
`On information and belief, consumers will likely associate the Gursatya Mark of
`
`Applicant’s Gursatya Application with Opposer and the SPACEX Marks and will assume there is
`
`a relationship between Applicant and Opposer.
`
`16.
`
`On information and belief, at the time of filing the application for the Gursatya
`
`Mark, Applicant was aware of Opposer’s rights in the SPACEX Marks and intentionally sought
`
`to evoke and otherwise play off of those rights by choosing Applicant’s “SPACE X” mark.
`
`17.
`
`As a result of the similarity between the Gursatya Mark and Opposer’s SPACEX
`
`Marks (among other reasons), the Gursatya Mark is likely to cause consumer confusion, mistake
`
`or deception in the trade and among consumers as to source, origin, sponsorship and/or
`
`affiliation of the respective companies and their respective goods and services.
`
`18.
`
`Applicant is not affiliated or connected with Opposer and has not otherwise been
`
`endorsed or sponsored by Opposer, nor has Opposer approved any of the goods or services offered
`
`or sold or intended to be sold by Applicant under the Gursatya Mark.
`
`19.
`
`If Applicant is permitted to use and register the Gursatya Mark in connection
`
`with Applicant’s Goods, confusion in trade resulting in irreparable damage and injury to
`
`Opposer would be caused by reason of the similarity between the Gursatya Mark and Opposer’s
`
`SPACEX Marks. Persons familiar with Opposer’s SPACEX Marks would be likely to buy
`
`
`
`86059947.1
`
`5
`
`

`

`
`
`Applicant’s Goods believing that such products are provided by, endorsed by, or associated
`
`with Opposer, which is not the case. Furthermore, any defect, objection or fault found with
`
`Applicant’s Goods marketed under the Gursatya Mark would necessarily reflect upon and
`
`seriously injure the reputation which Opposer has established for the goods and services sold
`
`and provided under its SPACEX Marks.
`
`20.
`
`In view of Opposer’s prior rights, Applicant is not entitled to registration of the
`
`Gursatya Application.
`
`COUNT II – DILUTION
`
`21.
`
`Opposers repeat and re-allege the allegations set forth in paragraphs 1-20 as fully
`
`set forth herein.
`
`22.
`
`The Gursatya Mark, as shown in the Gursatya Application, so closely resembles
`
`SpaceX’s previously registered and used SPACEX Marks as to be likely to cause dilution by
`
`blurring the distinctive quality of the famous SPACEX Marks in violation of 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c).
`
`23.
`
`The Gursatya Mark, as shown in the Gursatya Application, is likely to cause
`
`dilution by tarnishment of Opposer’s SPACEX Marks.
`
`24.
`
`Through extensive advertising, promotion and sales, Applicant’s SPACEX mark
`
`has become a famous trademark for Opposer’s launch services and became famous prior to the
`
`filing date of the Gursatya Application.
`
`25.
`
`On information and belief, Applicant selected its SPACE X mark to mimic or bring
`
`to mind Opposer’s SPACEX mark.
`
`26.
`
`The use of the Gursatya Mark and registration of the Gursatya Application would
`
`give Applicant an unqualified right to benefit from the likely confusion among purchasers led to
`
`believe that Applicant’s Goods are related in some fashion to Opposer.
`
`
`
`86059947.1
`
`6
`
`

`

`
`
`27.
`
`The use of the Gursatya Mark and registration of the Gursatya Application will
`
`dilute the distinctive quality of Opposer’s SPACEX Marks and harm Opposer’s goodwill and
`
`reputation associated with its SPACEX Marks by allowing any fault with or objection to
`
`Applicant’s Goods to reflect upon Opposer.
`
`28.
`
`By reason of the foregoing, Opposer will be damaged by the registration of the
`
`mark shown in Applicant’s Gursatya Application.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer prays that the Opposition be sustained, and the SPACE X
`
`application denied.
