`The Wonderful Company LLC, a Delaware limited liability company located and doing
`
`business at 11444 West Olympic Blvd., Los Angeles, CA 90064 (“TWC” or “Opposer”), believes
`
`it will be damaged by the registration of two trademarks:
`
`1. The trademark GROWING WONDERS as set forth in Application Serial No. 98575363 in
`
`Class 31 for “Fresh fruit”; and
`
`2. The trademark GROWING WONDERS & Design as set forth in Application Serial No.
`
`98418505 in Class 31 for “Fresh fruit”
`
`filed on May 29, 2024 and February 23, 2024, respectively, by Fresh Latina, LLC, a Florida limited
`
`
`
`{3516868.1} [217188]
`
`1
`
`
`
`
`
`liability company, with an address of 1395 Brickell Ave, Ste. 780, Miami, Florida 33131
`
`(“Applicant”), and hereby opposes the same. All aforementioned trademarks are hereafter referred
`
`to as “Applicant’s GROWING WONDERS Marks;” all aforementioned goods are hereafter
`
`referred to as “Applicant’s Goods;” and all aforementioned applications are hereafter referred to
`
`as “the Applications.”
`
`As grounds for this Opposition, TWC alleges:
`
`1.
`
`TWC is a privately-held global company dedicated to growing, harvesting, bottling,
`
`packaging, offering, and/or marketing a diverse range of high-quality and healthy products
`
`including fresh fruits, nuts, fruit juices, fruit teas, water, nutritionally fortified beverages, and
`
`nutraceuticals through iconic brands, such as Wonderful® Halos® mandarins, POM Wonderful®
`
`pomegranate products, Wonderful® Sweet Scarletts® grapefruit, and Wonderful Pistachios®,
`
`among others.
`
`2.
`
`TWC is the owner of numerous United States trademark registrations, applications,
`
`and common law rights in trademarks comprising of or containing the term WONDER and
`
`WONDERFUL in connection with a variety of goods offered in interstate commerce (the
`
`“WONDER®” and “WONDERFUL®” Marks) and, through licensing relationships with its
`
`affiliates and other companies with whom it is under common control (collectively referred to
`
`herein as “TWC” or “Opposer”), has established those rights to the WONDER® and
`
`WONDERFUL® Marks long before the December 31, 2020 priority dates/first use in commerce
`
`dates of the Applications.
`
`3.
`
`Opposer’s relevant WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks include, but are not
`

`
`The registrations enumerated above are valid and subsisting, and Opposer hereby
`
`gives notice in accordance with Trademark Rules of Practice 2.122(d)(2) that it will rely thereon
`
`as evidence in this proceeding, and status copies showing present title to those marks that are
`
`registered will be introduced into evidence on its behalf during Opposer’s testimony period.

`
`Additionally, the above U.S. Reg. Nos. 3687492, 3687491, 3463342, 2839828,
`
`3463342, 3784763, 4897336, 4552106, 4552134, 2640835, 2780314, and 4951549 have become
`
`incontestable and therefore constitute conclusive evidence of the validity of those particular
`
`WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks, TWC’s ownership of those marks, as well as TWC’s
`
`nationwide exclusive right to use those marks in commerce on or in connection with all of the
`
`goods specified in the registrations.
`
`6.
`
`TWC and/or its predecessors have sold a significant amount of goods in connection
`
`with the WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks.
`
`7.
`
`TWC and/or its predecessors has spent significant sums of money advertising and
`
`promoting the products offered in connection with the WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks in
`
`the U.S.
`
`8.
`
`By virtue of the popularity of the goods offered in connection with the WONDER®
`
`and WONDERFUL® Marks, and the advertising and promotion of those goods, TWC owns
`
`extremely valuable goodwill which is symbolized by and associated with the WONDER® and
`
`WONDERFUL® Marks.
`
`9.
`
`The Applications and Applicant’s GROWING WONDERS Marks are without
`
`TWC’s consent or permission.
`

`
`Application Serial No. 98575363 was published for opposition on January 14,
`
`2025. Opposer filed requests for extensions of time to oppose Application Serial No. 98575363 on
`
`February 12, 2025 and March 14, 2025. Opposer’s requests were granted. An opposition to
`
`Applicant’s Application Serial No. 98575363 must be filed by May 14, 2025. Therefore, this
`
`Notice of Opposition is being timely filed with respect to that application.

`
`Application Serial No. 98418505 was published for opposition on May 6, 2025. An
`
`Opposition to Applicant’s Application Serial No. 98418505 must be filed by June 5, 2025.
`
`Therefore, this Notice of Opposition is being timely filed with respect to that application.
`
`12.
`
`Opposer’s Opposition against the GROWING WONDERS Marks is appropriately
`
`consolidated because the subject applications are both owned by the same party and Opposer’s
`
`claims against each of the subject applications involve similar questions of law and fact. See TBMP
`
`§ 305.01 (2022).
`
`COUNT I – LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`13.
`
`14.
`
`Opposer incorporates its allegations in Paragraphs 1 through 12 herein by reference.
`
`Applicant’s GROWING WONDERS Marks so closely resemble Opposer’s
`
`WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks as to be likely, when used on or in connection with
`
`Applicant’s Goods, to cause confusion, to cause mistake, or to deceive in violation of Section 2(d)
`
`of the Lanham Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), as amended. Applicant’s GROWING WONDERS Marks
`
`also convey the same or a highly similar commercial impression as Opposer’s WONDER® and
`
`WONDERFUL® Marks.
`
`15.
`
`Applicant’s Goods are similar and/or related to the goods used in connection with
`
`Opposer’s WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks. Applicant’s use and registration of
`
`Applicant’s GROWING WONDERS Marks in connection with Applicant’s Goods is therefore
`
`likely to cause confusion, deception, and/or mistake among the relevant public.
`
`16.
`
`Applicant’s use of the GROWING WONDERS Marks on Applicant’s Goods is
`
`likely to cause confusion, mistake, or deception in that the purchasing public is likely to be led to
`
`believe that Applicant’s Goods bearing the GROWING WONDERS Marks emanate from or are
`
`approved, licensed, sponsored, or authorized by Opposer or are legitimately connected with or
`
`
`
`{3516868.1} [217188]
`
`6
`
`
`
`
`
`affiliated with Opposer in some other way, or that Applicant’s products are Opposer’s products or
`
`are made with Opposer’s Goods as ingredients, or Applicant’s Goods contain or promote
`
`Opposer’s WONDER® and WONDERFUL® branded products, or that Applicant and its business
`
`are owned by or affiliated with Opposer and its business.
`
`17.
`
`If Applicant is permitted to use the GROWING WONDERS Marks on Applicant’s
`
`Goods as specified in the Applications, confusion resulting in damage and injury to Opposer would
`
`be caused and would result by reason of the similarity between Applicant’s GROWING
`
`WONDERS Marks and Opposer’s WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks. Furthermore, any
`
`defect, objection, or fault found with Applicant’s Goods offered under Applicant’s GROWING
`
`WONDERS Marks would necessarily injure Opposer’s reputation and the goodwill established in
`
`Opposer’s WONDER® and WONDERFUL® Marks.
`
`WHEREFORE, Opposer respectfully requests that this Opposition be sustained and that
`
`the Applications be denied registration and that such other and further relief as is deemed just and
`
`proper be granted.
`
`Please debit our Deposit Account No. 502934 for the $600 filing fee per class and for any
`
`additional necessary fees.
