The grounds for the Opposition are as follows: 1. By the application, Applicant seeks to register Applicant’s Alleged Mark as a mark for Applicant’s Goods. The Application is based on Section 66A. 2. Energy Brands and The Coca-Cola Company are engaged in the business of, among other things, bottled drinking water. Energy Brands has used in interstate commerce and is and has been at all times pertinent hereto (including since prior to the filing date of the Application), the owner of all right, title and interest in and to GLACÉAU SMARTWATER (and Design) (U.S. Reg. No. 3,420,245), GLACÉAU SMARTWATER (U.S. Reg. No. 2,740,881), SMARTWATER (U.S. Reg. No. 2,778,914), and GLACÉAU SMARTWATER (and Design) (U.S. Reg. No. 2,840,063) all used with bottled drinking water in International Class 32 (“Energy Brands’ Marks”). Energy Brands has used Energy Brands’ Marks in connection with bottled drinking water 2 in interstate commerce in and throughout the United States continuously and extensively since at least as early as 1996. 3. As a result of the widespread and extensive use, advertising and promotion by Energy Brands and The Coca-Cola Company of Energy Brands’ Marks, Energy Brands’ Marks serve to identify and distinguish Energy Brands’ products from the goods, services and businesses of others. Furthermore, Energy Brands’ Marks symbolize the goodwill of Energy Brands’ business, are well-known, and are of great value to Energy Brands and The Coca-Cola Company in connection with the offering of bottled drinking water. 4. As Energy Brands has used Energy Brands’ Marks exclusively since 1996 and Applicant, upon information and belief, has priority under Section 67 of Applicant’s Alleged Mark in as early as 2012, Energy Brands’ Marks have priority of use or priority of rights in the United States over Applicant’s Alleged Mark. 5. Upon information and belief, Applicant’s Goods and Energy Brands’ Goods are similar in types, are offered or may be offered through the same, substantially the same, and/or related channels of trade, to the same, substantially the same, and/or related classes of purchasers, and are or may be advertised, marketed and promoted through the same media channels. 6. Upon information and belief, Applicant’s Alleged Mark, when used in connection with Applicant’s Goods, so resembles Energy Brands’ Marks as to be likely to cause confusion, or to cause mistake, or to deceive with respect to the source or origin of Applicant’s Goods, with respect to Energy Brands’ sponsorship thereof or connection or affiliation therewith, and/or in other ways. 3 7. Energy Brands and The Coca-Cola Company would be damaged by the registration of Applicant’s Alleged Mark because such registration would constitute prima facie evidence of Applicant’s exclusive right to use Applicant’s Alleged Mark for and in connection with Applicant’s Goods, which would be inconsistent with and detrimental to Energy Brands’ prior and superior rights in and to Energy Brands’ Marks. 8. Applicant’s Alleged Mark falsely suggests a connection or affiliation with Energy Brands and The Coca-Cola Company, and Applicant is therefore not entitled to registration of Applicant’s Alleged Mark. WHEREFORE, The Coca-Cola Company respectfully prays that the application of NARVAL PHARMA, S.A, serial number

  • Target Audience Definition and Analysis
    AD PLAN Smartwater: Made from a Big Idea By: Avinanda Mukherjee, Hao Wang, Jonathan De Costa &Valentine Boisriveaud Situation Analysis The category: •Highly saturated and competitive product category •The bottle of water market has declined. •In 2011, sales of bottled water are estimated at $12.1 billion, which represents a growth of 5% in current prices during 2006-11. After factoring in inflation, bottled water sales declined 1% during this period (Mintel). •Explanation for this recession: •The market has faced a number of challenges such as the high rate of unemployment among the key consumer groups, increasing competition from private labels, and consumer recognition of high-sugar status of enhanced/flavored waters. •The recession and ensuing slow recovery prompted consumers to turn to an almost- free bottled water alternative: tap water. •the increasing competition from private labels as well as consumers’ recognition of the fact that many brands are as sugary as other non-alcoholic beverages have created the slow decline of the consummation of bottle of water. In fact, many consumers swapped high-calorie beverages such as soda for enhanced/flavored water to reduce sugar in their diets. •If the market of bottled water is in decline, the consumption of bottled water seems to have increased since 2009. •Bottled water market has experienced volume consumption growth during 2009-11; however, bottled water sales remained sluggish in 2011. The market needs to address the issue of price promotion as well as the key consumer attrition as blacks, teens, and Hispanics appear to moving away from this category. (Mintel May 2012 report on bottled water) Situation Analysis The category: •Foundation of private labels.
