Medi USA LP successfully opposed the registration of the MEDI VARIC trademark by Medi Varic Products S.A.S. before the TTAB. The Board sustained the opposition (BD DECISION: OPP SUSTAINED), meaning the French company's attempt to register its mark in the US was rejected. The case was filed as Opposition No. 91303366.

For companies seeking US trademark registrations, this decision underscores the importance of conducting thorough trademark clearance searches before filing. Medi Varic Products S.A.S. is now barred from obtaining US trademark protection for this mark. Other entities with international operations should ensure their trademark strategies include comprehensive US clearance to avoid similar opposition proceedings.
