NOTICE OF SUSPENSION
SUSPENSION PROCEDURE: This suspension notice serves to suspend action on the application for the reason 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. 76/659006
Since applicant's effective filing date is subsequent to the effective filing date of the above-identified application, 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 was sent previously.
Applicant may submit a request to remove the application from suspension to present arguments related to the potential conflict between the relevant application or other arguments related to the ground for suspension. TMEP §716.03. Applicant's election not to present arguments during suspension will not affect the applicant's right to present arguments later should a refusal in fact issue. 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 following refusals are continued and maintained:
Registration of the proposed mark is refused because of a likelihood of confusion with the marks in U.S. Registration Nos. 1,668,867 and 2,887,421. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §§1207.01 et seq.
Please note that the requirement for an acceptable identification of goods has hereby been met and is now withdrawn. Also note that if applicant does not indicate otherwise, this Office will presume that applicant wishes to rely on the foreign registration as an additional basis for registration. Thus, the application will not be approved for publication until a copy of the foreign registration and, if appropriate, an English translation signed by the translator, have been filed. TMEP §§1004.01 and 1004.01(b).
If applicant has questions about its application, please telephone the assigned trademark examining attorney directly at the number below.
