This Opinion is Not a Precedent of the TTAB Mailed: November 6, 2019 UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE _____ Trademark Trial and Appeal Board ———— University of Louisiana at Lafayette v.

Sacharoff of Much Shelist, P.C. for Richards Cajun Foods Corp. ______ Before Kuhlke, Adlin and Pologeorgis, Administrative Trademark Judges. 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).

Colorado Farm Fresh Directory 2020
2020 Colorado Farm Fresh Directory Your guide to farmers’ markets, roadside stands, u-picks, restaurants and agritourism activities! Welcome! When we first put the call out to our state’s local food producers for listings earlier this year, we could not begin to imagine how COVID-19 would have changed our world by this time. And little did we know that the Farm Fresh Directory would perhaps be as important as it has ever been in its 36-year history--connecting people all across Colorado to fresh, locally grown food this season. Trying times have a way of reminding us, and sometimes even showing us for the first time, what’s most important in our lives. The value of fresh, safe, abundant food is being realized more and more every day. In the midst of this epic storm, a bright light is shining on agriculture and all those who work in it. The value of buying local is also being elevated. Purchasing locally grown foods shortens the supply chain, supports our ag producers, and helps keep our food system resilient. Buying local has a direct impact on the economy--and it has a multiplier effect, generating more money for the local economy. This will be key to rebuilding our communities in the coming weeks, months and years. How and where you shop makes a difference for what Colorado will look like. It has a direct impact on our small businesses and main streets, the food options consumers have, our rural communities and urban farms, availability of farmland and water, and equitable access to nutritious food for all.

Australian Roadkill Recipes Them “But Not Me!”
www.emaroocottages.com.au AUSTRALIAN ROADKILL RECIPES THEM “BUT NOT ME!” “OR ME” Brought to you with compliments of Emaroo Cottages www.emaroocottages.com.au: Broken Hill www.aperfectplace.com.au : Mildura www.aperfectplace.com.au www.emaroocottages.com.au The Australian Outback Road Kill Handbook (Wanted dead or alive?) by Ned West The Australian outback is home to an amazing array of unique wildlife. We trust you’ve managed to catch a glimpse of them as you journeyed through this ancient landscape. Its taken around 40 million years of isolation for our Australian fauna to evolve and about 40 years of outback highway construction to help dissolve them. (A few ferals have also escaped in to the Aussie bush, and now some even live in small houses) We all grieve for the little furry, feathered and scaly friends that are flattened along our bitumen corridors and mourn their passing. We cannot rip up the roads, and despite several decades of warning signs it seems the Australian motoring public or the wildlife are incapable of reading, heeding or avoiding the inevitable fatalistic collision. All they ever wanted is to join the humble chook and explore what was on the other side of the road. So here’s some good old Aussie time honored recipes and tips to help recycle this reptilian, marsupial, mammalian and avian feast that befriends you as journey forth! www.aperfectplace.com.au www.emaroocottages.com.au Warning: Do not try these at home. Aussie Roadkill recipes and tips are designed to add a dash of humour and spice to an otherwise monotonous few miles spent behind the wheel.

The Geezer Cookbook
The Geezer Cookbook By Dwayne Pritchett "Medicine Man" Welcome to the Geezer Cookbook on-line. Whether you are just visiting, here to gather great Dutch-oven cooking recipes or just surfing the net, I would like to extend a warm Geezer welcome to everyone! You may be asking yourself, what is a Geezer? Well thoughts of older folks, sitting around a porch and telling stories of yesteryear comes to my mind, so if you have a moment, Ill spin a little tale of the Medicine Man and the Geezer's Cookbook. Dwayne Pritchett (aka by his OA vigil name, the 'Medicine Man'), was a father, a Scoutmaster, a husband and a man who loved spicy foods and Dutch oven cooking among other things in life. This passion led him to compile a collection of his favorite recipes on bits of paper, 3x5 cards, napkins and such. Over his Scouting years, whenever he would go on a camporee, summer camp, conclave or Scouting event he was always on the prowl for good Dutch oven and great spicy recipes. So in Dwayne's eyes, a 'Geezer' was anyone that shared a penchant for spicy cooking, one who truly loved the hot stuff, whooo-eeee!! Now as Dwayne sought to put the accumulated recipes into a format that others could enjoy, he found an electronic medium to put them into and once he found this, his next quest was sharing these 350+ recipes with his fellow Scouts & Scouters, so that they might enjoy and share his love of spicy cooking. I first met up with Dwayne on the Scout board on Prodigy in 1993.
