NOTICE OF SUSPENSION

This letter responds to the applicant's communication filed on June 2, 2004. 

 

The examining attorney notes that the applicant did not sign the email communication and provides the following information for applicant’s future communications.

 

Electronic Signature

In an application or communication filed through the Trademark Electronic Application System (TEAS), the applicant does not apply a conventional signature.  Instead, the applicant enters a “symbol” that the applicant has adopted as a signature.  The Office will accept any combination of letters, numbers, spaces and/or punctuation marks as a valid signature if it is placed between two forward slash (“/”) symbols.  37 C.F.R. §§1.4(d)(1)(iii) and 2.33(d).  Examples of acceptable signatures for TEAS applications include /john doe/, /drl/, and /544-4925/. 

 

Action on this application is suspended pending the disposition of:

 

                        - Application Serial No(s). 75713489

 

Since applicant's effective filing date is subsequent to the effective filing date of the above-identified application(s), the latter, if and when it registers, may be cited against this application.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.83.  A copy of information relevant to this pending application(s) was sent previously.  The applicant may request that the application be removed from suspension by presenting arguments related to the potential conflict between the relevant applications or other arguments related to the ground for suspension.  The applicant's election to present or not to present arguments at this time will not affect the applicant's right to present arguments later.

 

Applicant should also note the following:

When there are conflicting marks in pending applications, action on the application with the later effective filing date will be suspended (after examination on all other issues is concluded or in condition for a final action) until the mark in the conflicting application with the earlier effective filing date is either registered or abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c).
