NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
SUSPENSION PROCEDURE: This suspension notice serves to suspend action on the application for the reason(s) specified below. No response is needed. 37 C.F.R. §2.67. However, the examining attorney will conduct periodic status checks and may issue inquiries at 6 month intervals from the mailing date of this notice. TMEP §716.05. If a status inquiry Office action issues, applicant will have 6 months from the mailing or e-mailing date of the status inquiry to respond. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.62.
MAILING/E-MAILING DATE INFORMATION: If the mailing or e-mailing date of this Office action does not appear above, this information can be obtained by visiting the USPTO website at http://tarr.gov.uspto.report/, inserting the application serial number, and viewing the prosecution history for the mailing date of the most recently issued Office communication.
Action on this application is suspended pending the disposition of:
- Application Serial No(s). 78/396661 and 78/397006
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 in a refusal to register under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). See 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq. A copy of information relevant to this pending application(s) was sent previously.
The examining attorney has considered the applicant’s arguments, but has found them unpersuasive at this time. As indicated previously, photography services and photographs are related to such a degree that consumer confusion as to the source of the goods/services is likely. If a refusal does issue, applicant will be afforded 6 months from the mailing or e-mailing date of the Office action to submit a response. 15 U.S.C. §1062(b); 37 C.F.R. §2.62.
The refusal under Section 2(d) as to Registration No. 2749575 is continued. All other issues have been resolved.
