TriVita Loses Trademark After FTC Fines Them $3.5 Million
by Tina Williams • • 0 Comments
A year after the Federal Trade Commission fined supplement maker TriVita Inc. $3.5 million for making unsupported health claims about its Nopalea cactus juice drink, a federal appeals court on Friday also refused to give the company a trademark registration on the juice name.
The Federal Circuit ruled that “Nopalea” couldn’t be registered as a trademark because it is merely descriptive of the drink — made from juice of the nopal cactus — that TriVita was selling with it.
Although TriVita argued that the addition of the letters “ea” at the end of “nopal” made the name “substantially different in sight and sound” from the common juice name, the court reminded the company that “Nopalea” is the full name of the plant that produces nopal juice.
“’Nopalea’ is not a made-up word obtained by adding arbitrary letters,”

Hindustan Unilever Network Launches E-Commerce for Direct Sales

India’s Hindustan Unilever (HUL) has changed the operating model of its direct-selling business, Hindustan Unilever Network, paving the way for a likely debut in e-commerce.

Consumers can buy the Aviance and Lever Ayush range of health and beauty products through HUL network consultants, who will operate only online now and will no longer have any physical offices. HUL did not provide additional details.
