St. Jude Medical opposes STAT Health AMULET trademark

The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board issued a Notice of Default in Opposition No. 91304415, finding that defendant STAT Health Informatics failed to timely answer or respond to St. Jude Medical's opposition against the AMULET trademark application. St. Jude Medical, operating through its Cardiology Division, claims likelihood of confusion with its existing medical device trademarks.\n\nAffected parties include trademark applicants in the medical device and health technology sectors who may face similar opposition proceedings. Defendants in TTAB oppositions must respond promptly to avoid default judgments that result in abandonment of their trademark applications. Legal professionals handling trademark prosecution should ensure timely responses to TTAB communications and consider the implications of similar marks in the medical device space.
