NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
The examining attorney has searched the Office records and has found no similar registered mark which would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. Section 1052(d). TMEP section 704.02.
The applicant has filed asserting use in commerce under Trademark Act Section 1(a), 15 U.S.C. §1051(a), and claiming priority under Section 44(d), 15 U.S.C. §1126(d), based on a foreign application. When an application is filed pursuant to Section 44(d), this Office presumes, unless otherwise indicated, that the applicant intends to rely upon the resulting foreign registration as a basis for registration in the U.S. TMEP §§806.02(f) and 1003.03. Under such circumstances, the application may not be approved for publication until a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a certified copy of the foreign registration and, if appropriate, an English translation have been filed. It is customary for the translator to sign the translation.
This application is otherwise in condition for publication. Therefore, action on this application is SUSPENDED pending receipt of the foreign registration and, if appropriate, an English translation. TMEP §§806.02(f) and 1003.04.
If the applicant wishes to proceed relying on use in commerce as the sole basis for registration, the applicant may instruct the examining attorney to approve the case for publication. If the applicant does so, the applicant retains its priority claim under Section 44(d). TMEP §§806.02(f) and 806.04(b).
