Calvaruso/ Name ANDREA L. CALVARUSO Date 10/20/2020 IN THE UNITED STATES PATENT AND TRADEMARK OFFICE BEFORE THE TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD IN THE MATTER OF TRADEMARK APPLICATION SERIAL NO. 88/777,827 PUBLISHED IN THE OFFICIAL GAZETTE ON JUNE 21, 2020 MARK: MISS PETITE USA IMG UNIVERSE, LLC, Opposer, OPPOSITION NO.: v. JORDAN RHODES, Applicant. NOTICE OF OPPOSITION IMG Universe, LLC (“Opposer”) is a limited liability company organized under the laws of Delaware with a principal place of business at 11 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10010. Opposer believes it will be damaged by the registration of the mark MISS PETITE USA (the “Disputed Mark”) by Applicant Jordan Rhodes (“Applicant”) for “Entertainment in the nature of beauty pageants and contests for women 5’5” or less” in Class 41 (“Applicant’s Services”) covered by the above-identified application (the “Application”) and, having been granted an extension of time to oppose up to and including October 21, 2020, hereby opposes the same. The grounds for opposition are as follows: 1. Since at least as early as 1952, Opposer and its predecessors-in-interest have used the mark MISS USA, and since at least as early as 1979 it has used the mark MISS TEEN USA, both in connection with its world-famous beauty pageants and related goods and services (collectively, “Opposer’s Goods and Services”).
