ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 4/18/2019
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 identified below precedes the filing date of applicant’s application. If the mark in the referenced application registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with that registered mark. 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 is either registered or abandoned. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). A copy of information relevant to this referenced application was sent previously.
- Application Serial No(s). 87942097
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.
No response to this notice is necessary; however, if applicant wants to respond, applicant should use the “Response to Suspension Inquiry or Letter of Suspension” form online at http://teasroa.gov.uspto.report/rsi/rsi.
Please note that the substitute specimen submitted is accepted.
As to the potential Section 2(d) refusal, please note that the prior applicant’s retail store services feature clothing and “accessories”, which are presumed to include hair pieces also for personal adornment, rendering confusion likely in this instance. In this regard, please see the attached Automated X-Search System evidence indicating that retail stores featuring clothing also offer other personal adornment accessories in the nature of hair pieces. See e.g. U.S. Registration Number 4732247 attached for retail store services featuring clothing and hair pieces. See also U.S. Registration Number 5663974 attached for retail store services featuring clothing as well as hairpieces. In particular see U.S. Registration Number 2822624 attached for retail store services featuring women’s clothing and accessories, namely,..wigs”.
