Issue date: February 15, 2020
The application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until disposition of cited registration(s). Registration maintenance documents are or were due to be filed for the registration(s) cited against applicant in a refusal based on Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). If the maintenance documents are not timely filed and accepted by the USPTO, the cited registration(s) will cancel and/or expire and will no longer bar registration of applicant’s mark under Section 2(d). See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059, 1141k. Action on this application is suspended for six months to await disposition of the cited registration(s); after which, the trademark examining attorney will determine whether to maintain or withdraw the Section 2(d) refusal. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(e).
The requirement for an accurate mark description is satisfied. See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
The following refusal is continued and maintained.
Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
The refusal to register the applied-for mark because of a likelihood of confusion with the mark in U.S. Registration No. 3731527 is continued and maintained. Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see TMEP §§1207.01 et seq. See the previously submitted arguments.
This refusal will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
Suspension process. The USPTO will periodically check this application to determine if it should remain suspended. See TMEP §716.04. As needed, the trademark examining attorney will issue a letter to applicant to inquire about the status of the reason for the suspension. TMEP §716.05.
No response required. Applicant may file a response, but is not required to do so.
