D&C oxycotin rainbowdash.net

Dear Website Owner,

For many years, Purdue L.P. (“Purdue”) has been selling preparations for the relief of pain under its well-known trademark OxyContin®.  Because of Purdue’s extensive use of its OxyContin trademark, consumers and the trade have come to identify products offered under this trademark as indicating a product that is authorized by Purdue.  Purdue is the owner of the following registrations in the United States Patent and Trademark Office:

Mark                    Registration/Serial No. Date of Registration
OXYCONTIN®      2,004,586                       10/1/96
OXYCONTIN®      2,033,914                       11/5/96

It has come to our attention that our trademark OxyContin appears as a trademark, metatag, keyword, visible or hidden text on the website(s) located at: rainbowdash.net without having obtained prior written authorization from Purdue.
