EATRIGHT® Moritz (soft, micro differences) Courageous Cookie Content
What's in the name of this cookie product? The "Moritz" mountain (1,800m above sea level; but without "St." [abbrev. saint n. canonized; "canon of ethics" (ref: 435 U.S. 679 (1978), CANON8ABA69 scan relevance with dkt 149 p7] but French side of Building 31, CERN (ref: Sir Tim Berners-Lee created the web in France not Switzerland [1989] ref: The Verge pub 26Jan12). Or is it more indicative of New Zealand's South Island with "60%" being "covered by ranges with peaks over 1,500m" (ref: Encyclopedia of New Zealand), the height of "K2" (8,611m), the wonders of "The ReMARKables" (1,943m) [Mountain View Rd, Queenstown 9371], "Rocky Mountain/…*", memorable mountaineers (Sir Ernest Rutherford, Mark P.

But equally the courageous (a. from cord [GK khorde gut] ref: Ox Dict.) corporeal considerations since "digestion…has the most powerful influence on the mental state of the individual" (ref: Jean Anthelme Brillat Savarin “ The Physiology of Taste” pub. 1825; Food Synergy NZIFST 23Jul20).
Where the EATRIGHT® brand (USPTO “incontestable” IC 5, 29 & 30) includes one view-dimensional trademark design “lever” simplicity with NO “assigns”. Applying "multi views or perspectives" (industrial design considerations, Locarno class 32-0 “logos”), the lever would rotate around the “t” axis…a torsion, torque or tension wrench (n. movement that pulls or "tugs"). Since violations of Section 7 of the Clayton Act can include both damages and injunctive relief, including divestiture and definitely NOT Clayton motion or Claytons non-alcoholic cordial (ref: Wikitionary). Where EM ID 001540931 "Frustration-Free", USPTO 77752682 “…twist ties" and USPTO 97147359 admission of "same product [bundling, wasteful] packaging ['advertising' (US cl. 101) ties]". And multiple "assigns" (n. (obs.) appurtenance, design or purpose [SIGN [Emperor has no clothes]] ref: Wiktionary) that ADds gigantic complexity with gut-wrenching twists (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 26-9 (top 2nd from left photo) but dkt 21 (misstep #1 [5-Step USPTO 77201402, 77201394; Global Animal Partnership (GAP) "IRS" complaint by Center for Consumer Freedom pub. 3May17]; the paid mediator “Molly Richard” 10Mar15 (yet WFMSI breached agreement, 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 90 filed 1-day early (misstep #2)) added to USPTO 77752682 4Feb21), tying (restrictive licensing of intellectual property) and turns (kiva n. underground chamber (ref: Wiktionary); "Distrobot" (USPTO 78451088, 78949756, 78539116)).
What you will find, with this product, is unbleached organic "soft" (Arawa) wheat flours (bleached flour (use of [E]924-6) has "never been demonstrated to be 100 per cent safe…toll [on] nutrients and destroys much of the vitamin E" (ref: Additive Code Breaker pub. Mar86); lower gluten levels of "soft" wheat (ref: PMC7925757)). Yet protein "calculated from nitrogen" ((E1091) flour, wheat, wholemeal soluble/total dietary fiber 8.3%, N=2.2g/100g, folate 71mcg/100g ref: NZ FoodComposition Database (NZFCD)) with Jones factor of 6.25 used irrespective of foodstuff (ref: Converting Nitrogen into Protein by Mariotti et al pub. 14Feb08), Folate/Folic acid (Vitamin B9) "amino acid synthesis" (ref: EFSA ID 2881) and free/bound amino acid (ref: Dietary Protein Quality FAO Expert Consultation pub.

Grass fed, low lactose, no added salt butter as a source of preformed short chain fatty acid (SCFA 4:0) butyric acid at least 2.5% (ref: NZFCD F1050) with organic a 3-4% possibility. No "preferenced-privileged" entity WFMSI (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 61) yet a hint of extra cinnamon "bark" (PRAL value -24.5502 ref: USDA) and "Peppermint Bark candy" (ref: 3:18-cv-07548-AGT dkt 125, emphasis added). An excellent source of vitamin K2 (ref: by cream calculation), source of choline and a double dose of vanilla (Vanilla planifolia (orchidaceae) fruit) antiophthalmic (35% sucrose), antiradicular (7 x quercetin from both natural vanillin 13,000ppm to 30,000ppm (daily AI 10mg/kg) and vanillic acid) (ref: USDA Phytochemical…Database); beta-glucosidase (starch and sucrose metabolism; EC 3.2.1.21); 4-coumarate-CoA ligase (lipid metabolism; EC 6.2.1.12) et al (ref: Schomburg et al. BRENDA, ELIXIR core data resource on enzymes (pub. 2021)). And many other "remarkably", dare to be different, "unique value" "quality added" feats.
Where "show product [Prod ID: 2601] online" is a simple box tick c/-the "REMARKABLE absence [scant evidence] of any photos on Whole Foods’ website" (draft, unpublished brief of appellant 29Sep15); "REMARKABLE [emphasis added]…settlement offer to be unreasonable” (email 6Nov14 in context of 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 64-3 p11 redacted).

Where New Zealand is known as the "Long White Cloud" (ref: Te Ara). cumulus n. form of CLOUD consisting of rounded masses heaped on horizontal base often like range of snow-mountains [L cumulus heap] (ref: OX Dict.) not Cumulus used by WFM to “download signage and design assets…GOLD Coast LOGIN" [emphasis added] (ref: wholefoodsmarketmidwest…Cumulus). Where "gold coast", "Project Goldmine" (ref: 548 F.3d 1028 (2008), coast n. seaboard (the c. is clear, there is no one to observe or interfere) and accumulator n. (esp.) apparatus for storing electricity [CUMULUS] (ref: OX Dict. 4th ed).

“Common” mole scalopus aquaticus or other mole(s)² (n. burrowing mammal…smallness of its eyes to be blind (ref: OX Dict)) species “remain absent” from New Zealand (ref: PMID 36676105 pub. 5Jan23) due to "strict biosecurity controls ensur[ing] fewer pests and diseases" (ref: NZ Story IFRS 3 "government grant"). However, Port Nelson has a distinctive bolder bank (mole³ break water, causeway [L moles mass] ref: OX Dict). Where [1996] 3 NZLR 554 (rival tug business) fundamentally changed “conduct” challenges (ref: Predatory Conduct under Commerce Act 1986 (1998) 28 VUWLR; Misuse of Market Power Guidelines pub.

Compare with Steve & Sons (ref: 19-1397 (4th Cir. 2021)) a "door business" and Lfurca pitchfork or furcation [FORK] (ref: Dict) ninth circuit appeal 18-35473 dkt 55 p8 "bifurcation". In 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 149 p7-8 fork (f. out sl., pay up) to "WFMSI" [†††] but "WFMI" involvement in "preferential" due diligence (ref: dkt 149 p6). Where “the word fork was thieves’ slang for finger and ‘forking over’” (ref: Origins of the Phrases We Use Everyday, non fiction book by "A Jack[up]" ie pen name for Graham Willmott). So finger n. [to] have a f. in the pie, take part in a matter (ref: OX Dict. 4th ed) "not controverted by any evidence submitted by WFMI" (dkt 25 p15 ln9). Also "forks_over_knives_", (ref: photo produced by "ERF" 24Feb14 for "RFP" No. 2 instore at WFM San Mateo & Petaluma; presumably extracted from WFMI then used by LeVille in dkt 57-2 p2 bottom LHS blurred DVD.

And "finger in the pie", "finger in the cookie [box, carton]" (ref: "finger scoop with chamfered box" (WIPO design database D678052 filed 29Jun11), camfered carton (D678048, 31May11) c/- EATRIGHT® [structural and display] boxes with inside out "original appearance", at the time, for edge standing cookies (ref: local novelty standard) used in first shipments to WFM (Aug04 nb. excluding chamfer) but not the middle or the last shipments. scoop n. gouge-like instrument, (sl.) large profit made quickly, chamfer n. bevel on an edge (concave c., as if gouged) [F (CANT¹, FRACTION)] cant¹ v.t. & i. hold out of level; take, be in, tilted position [Rom. = edge] ref: OX Dict).

Interestingly, New Zealand is NOT a participant in the Hague System on Industrial Designs (1999). But "rights in product designs can be protected in two ways: industrial copyright, under the Copyright Act 1994, and design registration, under the Designs Act 1953" (ref: Ben Cain, JAWS pub. 2Jun20). Where "LOOKALIKES [added emphasis] pose a threat (1) revenue squeeze, (2) brand dilution, (3) innovation reduction, (4) packaging change waste…"

Interestingly, the one pack EATRIGHT® Moritz Cookies [c/- 4x75g cookies in "tilted position" non-stack donut trays] were tasted tested and "liked" by "Vice President, Operations & Marketing Coordinator Whole Foods Market Northern Pacific Regional Office" in June 2004, meeting at EmeryVILLE, CA 6Aug04 at 3pm [emery n. coarse corundum [Gk smeris] ref: OX Dict.] c/- LeVILLE. Asked if we "could get these to Vancouver as the current labeling looks to meet Canadian requirements" with that store just about to open, "putting them on...coffee counter...could make good margins on them ie by retailing them at US$ 1.99". And, although US Nutrition labeling work was undertaken at that time, it did not make it onto the "perishables" tables [††] but a relevant remnant [n. leftover (ref: Thesaurus). And "Win a trip to New Zealand" concept (2Dec04 email) not WFMI "preferencing-privileging" of "Win a Trip to Australia!"

Where “shaming criminals, tax evaders…should be used by small businesses and individuals to punish trademark bullies and deter future trademark bullying” (ref: 2011 Wis. L. Rev. 625 (2011) by Leah Chan Grinvald). So NO "vanilla" coating of "Project Goldcrest" [crest n.

But subsequent to the “Safeway agreements”, Leville-Nutritional Excellence LLC entered into a license agreement with WFM and yet another "self-preferenced, self-privileged" agreement with WFMI involvement. Safeway required, as per the agreements, to take action against Leville-Nutritional Excellence but no action against its prior "consultant" (ref: 2:13-cv-02174 dkt 99 id 8 & 9 ie NOT bona fide [L = in good faith] use) with ERF left carrying the can. And WFMI was required by 548 F.3d 1028 (2008) to certain "conduct" requirements but, again, promises were broken (2:13-cv-02174 dkt 149 p6).
