EATRIGHT® ROT-lessened APPLE Rings (organic, soft-dried, *no-wax*, unique-varietals)
Always in season, naturally diverse, moisture reduction to assist with "dry rot fungus…destroying" [ref: WIPO pub. No. 500.2(E) p22 serial no. "D0328 or A0578"; "dry-rot of unchallenged oligopoly power" ref: Nebraska Law Review vol65, iss4, article8, p815], bruise-less, shatter-proof with good, stimulation of saliva secretion, chew-ability [ref: "Food texture influences on satiety" by Stribitcaia E et al (pub. Jul ’20)] positive effects on digestion. Depending on the harvest, they can include New Zealand' "long history of developing successful new varieties that achieve global traction", "high yields", "high productivity" (ref: the Coriolis Report pub. Jun23) with unique and exquisite tastes (eg Malus pumila 'Gala' × 'Splendour' sciros (with rootstock MM116, USPP18618P2) and others).
Always grown in a terroir [terratorium] of more actinism sunlight, "less pollution, less pests and diseases" in Nelson's rich mineral ('Ophiolite Belt') organic soils. Certified organic [1] [2] and slowdried (ie NO glyphosate accelerated drying) [3] to preserve the phytonutrient [salubrity] health benefits. A really robust life-lengthened product with packed sizes to suit.
A non-diluted, natural source of rutin (0.22mg/100g) [common/vernacular names: quercetin-3-rutinoside, rutoside, eldrin, and sophorin], a citrus-free bio-flavonoid. Rutin has been reported to have many pharmacological properties [4]. However, it is "no longer official" as a botanical drug in the National Formulary (N.F. XIV) yet widely used in nonprescription pharmaceutical preparations. An interesting situation of "medicine as food" rather than "food as medicine" [5][6].
Other New Zealand innovistic apple progress include "nutraceutical extracts" or food enhancers eg "stem bark" (or apple stick c/- cinnamon stick), "bark (cis 2 trans 4 abscisic acid (ref: USDA Phytochem Database) or abbrev. ABA) for (stress signal, improves glucose tolerance ref: PMID 32526875) pharmaceutical purposes (bark¹ n.; bark² n. [L barca small boat]). Also "waste rethink" [fuels (GRIN id=104681), biogas] (ref: the Coriolis Report pub. Jun23; Development) and "beverage base" options. The beverage base started as an Apple [Drink] Powder (ref: Student Project by Ms. Rebecca [no "middle[wo]man" name] nee Seddon pub. Oct87) now with significant technology expansion to includes alternatives to spray and no MALTodextrin. Where “the State of Washington used to have very good incentives for anything that was fruit based” (U.S. Department of Commerce | International Trade Administration; GA 30303; email 5Mar19).

P.S. Interesting apple "of discord" reference where the golden apple contended for by Juno, Minerva, & Venus was a "cause of dissension" (ref: Pocket Oxford, 4th ed). And “the pupil of the eye was known as the ‘apple’…cherished object” (ref: Red Herrings and White Elephants by A. Jack). Where Apple Malus domestica biological activities: retinoprotectant optometry and antiretinitic optometry; phytochemical: lutein (ref: USDA Phytochemical and Ethnobotanical ‘AIL’ Databases). Yet "Apple has filed a petition asking the Supreme People's Court to make tweaks ["scrub"] selected sentences...over the CUT of app revenue...strike references to Apple's "dominant position" (ref: Bloomberg Law by Pei Li pub. 3Jul24; emphasis added). And “Google is NOT your friend [added emphasis] when finding health benefits for your food” (ref: Nelson Magazine pub. Jun24), ‘“a pulsing ad cluttered endless scroll,” which masks relevant results… remunerative over that which is more relevant’ (ref: Tim Cowen, The Sling pub. 29Aug24).
P.S.S. Phytochemical: WAX is non-ubiquitous, insoluble dietary fiber, naturally occurring in certain plant parts (ref: USDA Phytochemical Database e-pub. '16). Commercial "E907 wax, refined, microcrystalline is prepared by the heavy fraction of petroleum by dewaxing or deoiling methods...chewing gum ingredient; polishing or release agent; also stiffening agent and for tablet coating" (ref: Additive Code Breaker by M. Hanssen pub. 1984). Another type of "wax coating" (shellac or carnauba-based wax incl./excl. morpholine) "is common practice for conventional apples" [nb. NOT the cert. organic Aztec FUJI apples (PVR APP118) and other multi-varietals found in "EATRIGHT® Organic Apple" packs]...to "slow down apple respiration, reduce moisture loss" [seals in water weight] ... to "extend shelf-life" [but also ADds wax weight] ... responsible for "glossiness" (ref: Fate of Listeria innocua on wax-coated FUJI apple surfaces (pub. Apr'23). Where wax v.i. grow larger...as metaphor from this; w. & wane, undergo alterations of increase & decrease; crispate a. (bot.) with curled or wavy MARGIN [L crispus curled] (ref: Dictionary, OX, '52).
P.S.S.S. "Most successful innovations…employ multiple types of innovation—frequently six or more—making them genuinely new and different business models” (ref: “Beacons for Business Model Innovation…an independent publication and has not been authorized, sponsored, or otherwise approved by Apple, Inc”). Where "apple" is also in "design search code 05.09.05 – Apples" (ref: USPTO # 73704031). The original applicant, before multi-assignments, was Whole Foods Market Inc with specimen 15Sep08 "The Soughdough Bakery" c/- 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 27-2 "The Sourdough, A European Bakery, Inc". See also subsequent specimens are all "outside" not declared goods and services eg "In-Store Restaurant Services, And In-Store Bakery Services In Health Foods And Natural Foods". And “growth by internal expansion...preferable to growth by acquisition" (ref: United States v. Philadelphia Nat. Bank, 374 U.S. 321, 370, 83 S.Ct. 1715, 1745 (1963))
P.S.S.S.S. An earlier version of this product was featured in USPTO TTAB proceeding # 91202219 with "notice of reliance" dkt 21 and dkt 22. Where deposition transcriber (TSG Reporting Worldwide) on 12Sep12 had also undertaken earlier transcription work in Apple Inc. v. Samsung Electronics Co Ltd presumably 11-cv-01846 since N.D. Cal. And dkt 74 p46; 2008 TTAB LEXIS 603, *21 p9 reference to Trademark Dilution Revision Act of 2006. NB. after negotiation of coexistence agreement “NAPCS code 31256 Exclusive [worldwide] rights” for “EAT RIGHT, EAT-RIGHT, EATRIGHT” including for IC 029 (US class 046) and IC 5 (US classes 6, 18, 44, 46, 51, 52 nb. NOT US class 100 "Miscellaneous" or "catch all"). See also “REPORT TO CONGRESS: Trademark [BULLIES] and Federal Government Services to Protect Trademarks and Prevent Counterfeiting” (Department of Commerce; pub. April 2011). Footnote 51: “the term “bullies” was used and described as “a trademark owner that uses its trademark rights to harass a[n]d intimidate another business beyond what the law might be reasonably interpreted to allow.” The posting was later amended to remove the terminology “bullies” and “bullying,”… language appearing in the Trademark Technical and Conforming Amendment Act of 2010; namely, “litigation tactics.”. Relevance to “Trademark Rule 2.135 provides that if, in an inter partes [L partes parties] proceeding, the applicant files an abandonment without the written consent of every adverse party to the proceeding, judgment shall be entered against applicant” (ref: TTAB Opposition No. 91202219 dkt 79 but also 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 27, dkt 33-1, dkt 149 and 3:13-cv-06032).
P.S.S.S.S.S. “The most important [international] classes, as measured by active trademark registrations” in descending order of “CONGESTION” (ref: Figure 1: Active Registrations in 2016 by Nice Class, Harvard Law Review Vol. 131:945 "…Empirical Study…" pub. 4Feb18).

And “dominant portion of the mark, which is undoubtedly APPLE in our example. This focus is appropriate. In their section 2(d) assessment of similarity, examiners are also instructed to consider the dominant portion of the mark”. Not "dominant [position in] the market[et]”, where "Misuse of Market Power Guidelines" (ComCom NZ, Mar’22) includes id 118.3 “Abuse of legal rights"
Also congested a. suffering congestion (of organ &c. or blood &c.) [L gero bring] (ref: Oxford Dictionary) where apples (Malus domestica) do not contain phytochemical: menthol (ubiquitous: NO) biological activity: "Congestant" or ethnobotany use: "Congestion" (ref: USDA Phytochemical Database)
P.S.S.S.S.S.S The EATRIGHT® Apple Rings are both a "single-ingredient food" as well as an combination-ingredient in EATRIGHT® Enzyme Balls, EATRIGHT® Everything Right Cereal, EATRIGHT® FreeBee Cookies etc. Where the EATRIGHT® Enzyme Balls are a product that "…cannot be placed in other classes" (Serial No. (E) S0046 "Snack bars" (F) R0058). Compare to “various single-ingredient foods…” (2:13-cv-02174 dkt 23 p9 id 6) yet “cottage cheese, feta cheese” (dkt 64-3 p14) are not single ingredient foods, "salad bars" sold “per pound” not “per ingredient”, “granola” and EATRIGHT® Cereal issues etc.
P.S.S.S.S.S.S Not "BIG Apple Corner" (ref: Why is New York known as The Big apple? by Bill Dunlap, The Guardian quotes) name originating from horse racing column name in The Morning Telegraph 1920's. But the very dubious contract was "executed in...[The BIG apple] New York" (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 60 p3) is of relevance. Where New York's name from the Duke of York rather than New York, Yorkshire, UK. But descendants of Robert ArmETstead, Yorkshire, ~1470 included “Major George Armistead - born in Virginia [USA] in 1780… placed an order with Mary Pickersgill…for two flags: a 17’ x 25’ storm flag costing $168 and a massive 30’ x 42’ flag – costing $405…[sewn together to create the original 13 stripes] star spangled banner…in the Armistead family for 100 years” (ref: National history, Military history and family history (inter-family email 9Dec14). See also Armistead family "crest" and the "every ready" motto.
