Executive Summary
LADY IN RED SEEKS CANCELLATION OF ESTEE LAUDER'S BEAUTIFUL MARK, claiming that its Beautiful Lady trademark predates it. In a Nov. 3 answer and counterclaim to Lauder's Sept. 27 trademark infringement complaint against the firm ("The Rose Sheet" Oct. 10 p. 7), Lady in Red said that it purchased the Beautiful Lady trademark in November 1993 from Maynard, Inc., which obtained the mark in 1934 -- 49 years before Lauder's Beautiful trademark was registered in 1993.
