Applicant, Eagle Trace Brewing Company LLC, applied to register the following standard-character marks on the Principal Register: EAGLE PARK DISTILLING for “distilled spirits; alcoholic beverages, except beer” in International Class 33;1 and EAGLE PARK BREWING COMPANY for “alcoholic beverages, namely beer” in International Class 32.
Sazerac Brands, opposed both applications on the ground of likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), asserting prior rights in and ownership of marks registered on the Principal Register: EAGLE RARE (standard characters) for “bourbon whiskey” in International Class 33;3 and for “whiskey” in International Class 33.
Despite some similarities, including the presence of the word Eagle in the marks, the Board dismissed the opposition.
