Dazer Laser Retains Trademark

Laser Energetics Inc., a laser technology company located in Mercerville, N.J., announced that its new Dazer Laser - Light Fighting Technologies has withstood a challenge to its trademark application with the US Patent and Trademark Office brought by Taser International Inc. of Scottsdale, Ariz. Taser contended that Laser Energetics’ application in the USPTO to register its “Dazer Laser” trademark should be rejected because the “Dazer Laser” mark was confusingly similar to Taser’s family of “Taser” trademarks. Following a period of pretrial discovery and depositions in the USPTO proceeding, Taser International terminated its opposition with prejudice. The termination with prejudice now precludes Taser from challenging the registration of Laser Energetics’ “Dazer Laser” trademark. (Also see: Dazer Laser Debuts at Parade)
