SUSPENSION NOTICE: NO RESPONSE NEEDED
The trademark examining attorney is suspending action on the application for the reason(s) stated below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
The USPTO will periodically conduct a status check of the application to determine whether suspension remains appropriate, and the trademark examining attorney will issue as needed an inquiry letter to applicant regarding the status of the matter on which suspension is based. TMEP §§716.04, 716.05. Applicant will be notified when suspension is no longer appropriate. See TMEP §716.04.
No response to this notice is necessary; however, if applicant wants to respond, applicant should use the “Response to Suspension Inquiry or Letter of Suspension” form online at http://teasroa.gov.uspto.report/rsi/rsi.
FOREIGN REGISTRATION: Applicant is required to provide a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a certified copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin that will be in force at the time the United States registration issues. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); In re Societe D’Exploitation de la Marque Le Fouquet’s, 67 USPQ2d 1784, 1788-89 (TTAB 2003); TMEP §§1003.04(a)-(b), 1004.01, 1004.01(a). Action on this application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof of its renewal. TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04(a)-(b), 1004.01(a). If the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English, applicant must provide an English translation. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §1004.01(b). Further, applicant should notify the trademark examining attorney in the event that the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed. See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a). In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable. TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
