| Concurrent Use Statement | Concurrent use information. Applicant seeks concurrent use registration with the mark "ELLA BLUE", which mark is the subject of application Serial Number 78565855. Applicant has opposed this registration on the grounds of prior use, in that Applicant commenced use of the mark "ELLA BLEU" in September, 2003, in connection with retail stores featuring skin care products and other products, as well as the sale of branded skin care and related products, whereas the owner of "ELLA BLUE" claims to not have commenced use of "ELLA BLUE", in connection with similar goods and services, until January, 2005. This junior concurrent mark was adopted in the State of California in January, 2005, but has not been used elsewhere prior the filing date of this Application. Applicant is therefore the prior user, and as such seeks and is entitled to a concurrent registration granting exclusive rights to Applicant for all portions of the United States except for the State of California, which territory should be granted to the junior user of the mark "ELLA BLUE". |
