The response to office action of February 18, 2015 is acceptable as to the amended use dates. As requested by applicant, the trademark examining attorney is suspending action on the application for the reason(s) stated below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
The effective filing date of the pending application(s) identified below precedes the filing date of applicant’s application. If the mark in the referenced application(s) registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with that registered mark(s). See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq. Therefore, action on this application is suspended until the earlier-filed referenced application(s) is either registered or abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). A copy of information relevant to this referenced application(s) was sent previously.
- Application Serial No(s). 86327908
PENDING CIVIL PROCEEDING(S): The pending civil proceeding(s) below pertains to (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. See 15 U.S.C. §1052; 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d), 1208 et seq. Because the civil proceeding(s) pertains to an issue that could directly affect whether applicant’s mark can be registered, action on this application is suspended pending termination of the civil proceeding(s). See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d).
- Cancellation No(s). 92060989
REFUSAL(S)/REQUIREMENT(S) CONTINUED AND MAINTAINED: The following refusal(s)/requirement(s) is/are continued and maintained: Section 2(d) refusal and potential refusal advisory.
The USPTO will periodically conduct a status check of the application to determine whether suspension remains appropriate, and the trademark examining attorney will issue as needed an inquiry letter to applicant regarding the status of the matter on which suspension is based. TMEP §§716.04, 716.05. Applicant will be notified when suspension is no longer appropriate. See TMEP §716.04.
