ISSUE/MAILING DATE: MARK: IBED
Applicant is requesting reconsideration of a final refusal issued/mailed on January 9, 2007.
The applicant was also provided an additional action, which continued the final refusals on June 19, 2007.
The applicant is advised that the undersigned counsel cannot suspend the instant action pending the anticipation that the applicant may be able to acquire a consent agreement. If, however, the applicant institutes a cancellation proceeding, the applicant is permitted to submit the relevant information regarding the cancellation and as a request for suspension. Please note, however, that this information regarding a cancellation is only relevant as to the refusal issued under section 2(d) and does not impact the finding of descriptiveness under section 2(e)(1).
After careful consideration of the law and facts of the case, the examining attorney must deny the request for reconsideration and adhere to the final action as written since no new facts or reasons have been presented that are significant and compelling with regard to the point at issue.
Accordingly, applicant’s request for reconsideration is denied. The time for appeal runs from the date the final action was issued/mailed. 37 C.F.R. Section 2.64(b); TMEP Section 715.03(c). If applicant has already filed a timely notice of appeal, the application will be forwarded to the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB).
