If any application for registration is or has been filed by or on behalf of User in any country and relates to any mark which, in the reasonable opinion of VictimsVoice, is confusingly similar, deceptive or misleading with respect to, or dilutes or any way damages the VV Trademark, User shall, at VictimsVoice’s request, abandon all use of such mark, and any registration or application for registration thereof and shall reimburse VictimsVoice for all costs and expenses of any opposition or related legal proceeding, including attorneys’ fees, instigation by VictimsVoice or its authorized representative.
