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.
This letter responds to applicant’s divisional request pertaining to Application Serial No. 78681530 filed on November 3, 2006.
In the first Action of February 17, 2006, applicant was notified of a potential likelihood of confusion under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act with the mark in prior pending application Serial No. 76516639.
Pursuant to applicant’s divisional request that was completed on November 11, 2006, the goods in Classes 16 and 20 have been moved to the instant application. Upon further review of the application record, the examining attorney is limiting the prior pending application notice to the mark in the instant application.
Accordingly, action on this application is suspended pending the disposition of:
- Application Serial No(s). 76516639
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.
Applicant may submit a request to remove the application from suspension to present arguments related to the potential conflict between the relevant application(s) 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.
