On Wednesday, opposer Cisco Technology, Inc. filed a notice of opposition before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board against applicant Omcisco Technology INC.’s application for the OMCISCO mark, citing likelihood of consumer confusion and dilution of its famous mark.
According to the opposition, the OMCISCO mark is filed in International Class 9, covering “Control valves regulating the flow of gases and liquids…Electrical transducers; Pressure indicators…Semi-conductors…” Cisco noted that it is in the business of “computer networking, telecommunications, hardware and software (as well as) related goods and services.” The opposer proffered that its marks are used in connection with “semiconductors, chips and chipsets for use in wireless communication applications and computer hardware” and “collecting and analyzing energy supply and data demand,” in addition to other goods and services.
