Serial Number  76/559163

 

The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the following.

 

Standard Character Statement Required

 

Applicant must submit the following standard character claim:  “The mark is presented in standard character format without claim to any particular font style, size, or color.”  37 C.F.R. §2.52(a).

 

Prior Filed Application

 

Although 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. §1052(d), the examining attorney encloses information regarding pending Application Serial No. 76-398048.  37 C.F.R. §2.83. 

 

There may be a likelihood of confusion between the applicant’s mark and the mark in the above noted application under Section 2(d) of the Act.  The filing date of the referenced application precedes the applicant’s filing date.  If the earlier‑filed application matures into a registration, the examining attorney may refuse registration under Section 2(d).
