ARGUMENT(S)
On May 16, 2014, the Examining Attorney issued an office action in regard to Appln. No. 86/183,903 for the mark SELECT. The only issue raised in the Office Action, was a preliminary refusal due to a likelihood of confusion with the prior Registration No. 1,852,560 for the mark SELECT. In reviewing the TSDR record for prior Reg. No. 1,852,560, Applicant notes that the registration was due for renewal on September 6, 2014, yet no renewal has been filed. As this registration will go abandoned and no longer present a barrier to the registration of Appln. No. 86/183,903 if no renewal is filed by the end of the 6-month grace period (March 6, 2015), Applicant respectfully requests that the instant application be suspended until such a time to see if the cited mark is renewed or abandoned.
