Issue date: December 16, 2019
The application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
The pending application(s) below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant’s application. If the mark in the application(s) below registers, the USPTO may refuse registration of applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered mark(s). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208.02(c). Action on this application is suspended until the prior-filed application(s) below either registers or abandons. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). Information relevant to the application(s) below was sent previously.
- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 87339278
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), 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). 92071164
The following refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) is/are maintained and continued:
1. The refusal to register under Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act, 15 USC Section 1052(d), based on likelihood of confusion with U.S. Registration No. 5072795 subject to resolution of the above cancellation proceeding;
2. The Request for Information under 37 CFR Section 2.61(b);
3. The requirement for a fully acceptable identification of goods, 37 CFR Section 2.32(a)(6).
See id. These refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) 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.
