`
`NOTICE OF OPPOSITION
`
`KIND Management Inc. (“Kind” or “Opposer”), a Delaware corporation, having its
`
`principal place of business at 3 Times Square, New York, New York 10036, believes that it will
`
`be damaged by registration of the mark EAT WELL, BE KIND, as identified in U.S. Trademark
`
`Application Serial No. 97/438,112 (the “Application”) filed by Vitality, LLC (“Applicant”), and
`
`hereby opposes the same. As grounds for the opposition, Kind alleges as follows:
`
`1.
`
`Opposer Kind, through its predecessors-in-interest, has sold snack food bars and
`
`other foods under the KIND trademark since 2004. Opposer has sold more than one billion dollars’
`
`worth of KIND-branded products at more than 100,000 retail locations throughout the United
`
`States. Opposer is well-recognized and well-regarded as a producer of premium-quality goods.
`
`Opposer promotes and sells KIND products, including protein bars, through its website at
`
`www.kindsnacks.com.
`
`1
`
`

`

`
`
`
`
`2.
`
`Opposer, through its predecessors-in-interest, commenced use of the trademark
`
`KIND in connection with snack food bars at least as early as June 14, 2004. Since that time,
`
`Opposer, directly and through its predecessors-in-interest, has continuously used the trademark
`
`KIND in commerce.
`
`3.
`
`Opposer owns dozens of registrations in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office for
`
`KIND, including the following:

`

`
`

`
`Opposer’s rights in the marks reflected in the foregoing U.S. Registration Nos.
`
`2,984,772, 4,161,495 and 4,898,735 have become incontestable pursuant to 15 U.S.C. § 1115(b).
`
`5.
`
`Registration certificates and the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR)
`
`documents printed from the USPTO website for the KIND marks identified above (the “KIND
`
`Marks”) are attached as Exhibit A.
`
`6.
`
`Opposer also owns U.S. Application No. 88/214,600 for KIND for use in
`
`connection with “Restaurant services; café services; pop-up restaurant services” in International
`
`Class 43. U.S. Application No. 88/214,600 was filed on December 3, 2018, prior to Applicant’s
`
`claimed date of first use of the EAT WELL, BE KIND mark.
`
`7.
`
`Opposer has expended considerable time and expense on the creation,
`
`development, advertising and promotion, and enforcement of the KIND Marks. Through
`
`Opposer’s widespread promotion and use, the KIND Marks have become strong and well-known.
`
`As a result, the public has come to know, identify, and recognize a vast array of KIND products
`
`as originating with or authorized by Opposer.
`
`The KIND Marks and the associated goodwill are assets of immense value to
`
`8.
`
`Opposer.
`
`9.
`
`Opposer’s KIND Marks are inherently and commercially distinctive.
`
`10. Upon information and belief, Applicant is a Tennessee limited liability company,
`
`with a principal place of business of 700 Old Hickory Boulevard, Suite 203, Brentwood, Tennessee
`
`37027.
`
`11. On June 1, 2022, notwithstanding Opposer’s prior rights in and to the KIND Marks
`
`and without Opposer’s consent or permission, Applicant filed an application to register the EAT
`
`WELL, BE KIND mark for use in connection with “Smoothies; Fruit beverages; Fruit juice; Fruit
`
`juices; Fruit smoothies; Fruit juice beverages; Fruit-based beverages; Green vegetable juice
`
`
`
`3
`
`

`

`beverages; Herbal juices; Smoothies containing grains and oats; Vegetable-fruit juices; Vegetable
`
`juice; Vegetable juices; Vegetable smoothies; Mixed fruit juices; Non-alcoholic beverages
`
`containing fruit juices; Non-alcoholic fruit juice beverages” and “Restaurant services; Restaurant
`
`services featuring superfood bowls, grain bowls, wraps, salads, smoothies, toasts; Restaurant
`
`services, namely, providing of food and beverages for consumption on and off the premises;
`
`Restaurant and café services”.
`
`12.
`
`The EAT WELL, BE KIND Application was published in the USPTO’s Official
`
`Gazette (Trademarks) on December 5, 2023. This opposition is timely pursuant to the U.S.
`
`Trademark Trial & Appeal Board’s April 3, 2024 order.
`
`13.
`
`Applicant’s filing date of its Application and claimed date of first use in 2021 are
`
`more than a decade after Opposer’s first use of the KIND mark. Opposer has prior rights in its
`
`KIND Marks.
`
`14.
`
`Applicant’s EAT WELL, BE KIND mark is confusingly similar to Opposer’s
`
`KIND Marks. Registration and use by Applicant of the EAT WELL, BE KIND mark is likely to
`
`result in confusion, mistake or deception with Opposer and/or the goods and services marketed in
`
`connection with Opposer’s KIND Marks.
`
`15.
`
`Applicant’s use of the EAT WELL, BE KIND mark is likely to falsely suggest a
`
`relationship between Applicant’s goods and services and Opposer’s goods and services. Such use
`
`of the applied-for mark EAT WELL, BE KIND is likely to cause confusion, mistake, or
`
`deception with respect to the source or sponsorship of Applicant’s goods and services in
`
`violation of 15 U.S.C. §§ 1052(d) and 1125(a).
`
`16.
`
`For the foregoing reasons, the registration sought by Applicant is contrary to the
`
`provisions of Section 2 of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052, and Opposer would be damaged
`
`thereby.
`
`4
`
`

`

`17.
`
`In order to protect the public against confusion and deceit, and to protect Opposer’s
`
`well-known KIND Marks from infringement and unfair competition, registration of Applicant’s
`
`EAT WELL, BE KIND Application should be refused under Section 2(d) of the Lanham Act, 15
`
`U.S.C. §§ 1052(d) and 1063.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer respectfully requests that said Application Serial No.
`
`97/438,112 be rejected, that no registration be issued thereon to Applicant, that this Opposition be
`
`sustained in favor of Opposer and that the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board grant such other and
`
`further relief as it deems just and appropriate.
`
`All correspondence relating to this matter should be directed to the undersigned attorney
`
`for Opposer.
