NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
Action on this application is suspended pending the disposition of:
- Application Serial No(s). 78/151308
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.
In addition, given the breadth of applicant’s suggested amended recitation of services, the examining attorney maintains all of the refusals and requirements raised in the Office Action dated August 22, 2003 – the examining attorney is unable to discern the exact nature and field of use of applicant’s particular services, such that it is impossible to know whether applicant’s specimens are proper and/or whether a likelihood of confusion exists with the previously cited marks.
If the applicant has any questions or needs assistance in responding to this Office action, please telephone the assigned examining attorney.
