NOTICE OF SUSPENSION

 

Action on this application is suspended pending the disposition of:

 

                        - Application Serial No(s). 75766812

 

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.

 

The examining attorney acknowledges that the applicant has properly amended the identification of goods and the filing basis. However, the examining attorney continues the refusal of the proposed mark pursuant to Section 2(e)(1) of the Trademark Act. Further, the examining attorney continues the requirement for a proper specimen, required statement supporting substitute specimens and supporting declaration. The specimen submitted by the applicant is not acceptable because it is advertising material and was not supported by the required statement that the specimen was in use in commerce at least as early as the filing date of the application supported by a declaration. Finally, the examining attorney also continues the requirement for proper resolution of the drawing issues raised in the initial office action. Applicant will be provided to further address these issues in the future.
