Opinion by Adlin, Administrative Trademark Judge: Applicant Richards Cajun Foods Corp. seeks registration of GEAUX CAJUN, in standard characters, for “fresh and processed meat products, namely, sausage; smoked sausage.”1 Opposer University of Louisiana at Lafayette, in its second 1 Application Serial No. 87173267, filed September 16, 2016 under Section 1(b) of the Trademark Act, based on an alleged intent to use the mark in commerce. According to the application, “[t]he English translation of ‘GEAUX’ in the mark is ‘GO’.” Opposition No. 91233876 amended notice of opposition,2 alleges that it is located in the Acadiana region of Louisiana, which is known as “Cajun country,” and that its nickname is the RAGIN’ CAJUNS. It further alleges prior use and registration of the mark GEAUX CAJUNS, in standard characters (CAJUNS disclaimed), for educational and entertainment services, clothing and a “wide variety of licensed goods and services.”3 As grounds for opposition, Opposer alleges that use of Applicant’s mark is likely to cause confusion with Opposer’s mark, including because “[t]he consuming public expects the goods sold and licensed by the University under the University’s GEAUX CAJUNS mark to expand to food and beverage products (including sausage) based on the University’s established history of licensing its marks for use in connection with food and beverage products.” 15 TTABVUE 16 (Second Amended NOO ¶ 31).

    Saturday, November 3, 2018 CAJUN FIELD • LAFAYETTE, LOUISIANA sponsed by LAFAYETTE MUSIC COMPANY & UL LAFAYETTE WWW.LOUISIANASHOWCASE.COM WHY Showcase? It’s all about the students The idea for The Louisiana Showcase of Marching Bands State Championship came from Lafayette Music Company in 1989 as a way to “showcase” the great talent of our bands in Louisiana and as a way for Lafayette Music Company to give back to the community. Every band a “winner” Local Band Directors overwhelmingly said, “We want a Premier Contest/Festival in our state and not just another festival.” Lafayette Music Company listened, and “Showcase” was designed as a Contest/Festival with the hopes of every band being a “winner!” The first “Showcase” was held in 1990 with 25 bands performing and has since grown to 35 participating bands with Top 10 Finals competition following prelims. Supporting music education There is no entry fee for a band to participate in “Showcase” and proceeds from this event directly benefit music students at UL Lafayette through endowed scholarships. Today’s participating bands also recieve funds raised from this competition. Over One Million Dollars Your attendance and contributions for the past 29 years have helped put over $1,000,000 toward sustaining and improving music education in our schools.
