Issue date: February 11, 2021
International Registration No. 1492395
This suspension action follows applicant’s January 28, 2021 response to the trademark examining attorney’s Office action dated August 4, 2020.
In that August 4, 2020 Office action, the examining attorney maintained the following final refusal:
· Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
Applicant responded by requesting suspension of the mark pending a proceeding, Cancellation No. 92075698.
The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until legal proceeding(s) involving the applied-for mark is resolved. The legal proceeding(s) below involves (1) a registered mark that conflicts with applicant’s mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d), (2) a mark in a pending application(s) that could conflict with applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) if it registers, and/or (3) the registrability of applicant’s mark. 15 U.S.C. §1052; see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d), 1208 et seq. Because the outcome of this proceeding(s) could directly affect whether applicant’s mark can register, action on this application is suspended until proceeding(s) is resolved. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(a), (c)-(d).
- Cancellation No(s). 92075698
Refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) resolved and maintained and continued. The following refusal is maintained and continued:
• Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
See TMEP §713.02. This final refusal will be continued and maintained once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises or the cited registration is canceled. See TMEP §716.01.
RESPONSE GUIDELINES – NO RESPONSE NECESSARY AT THIS TIME
