WELLNEE trademark opposition sustained against Peng He

The TTAB issued a final decision sustaining the opposition to trademark application WELLNEE owned by defendant Peng He. The opposition was filed by Divitidirect Trading FZCO and resulted in a binding decision preventing registration of the WELLNEE mark.

For trademark applicants and practitioners, this decision underscores the risks of filing applications that may face opposition. Parties considering trademark registration should conduct thorough clearance searches and be prepared to defend against opposition proceedings. The defendant may appeal to the USPTO Director or federal court within the statutory period.
