Suspension Letter

SUSPENSION PROCEDURE: This suspension notice serves to suspend action on the application for the reason(s) specified below. No response is needed. However, if you wish to respond to this notice, you should use the “Response to Letter of Suspension” form found at http://teasroa.gov.uspto.report/rsi/rsi. The Office will conduct periodic status checks to determine if suspension remains appropriate.

Registration has been refused under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 U.S.C. §1052(d), based on the cited registration(s). However, registration maintenance documents are due to be filed for the cited registration(s). If these registration maintenance documents are not timely filed, the cited registration(s) will be canceled under §8 or expire under §9 and will no longer present a bar to registration under Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059. Therefore, action on this application is suspended for 6 months until the examining attorney can determine whether the cited registration(s) will be canceled under §8 or expire under §9. 37 C.F.R §2.67; TMEP §716.02(e).

The amended standard character claim is acceptable.
