SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: November 07, 2019
PREVIOUS ACTIONS: In a previous Office action dated February 13, 2019, applicant was required to satisfy the following requirement: amend the identification of services.
Applicant filed a Preliminary Amendment on April 19, 2019 to amend the application to add a Section 44 basis. However, applicant did not amend the identification of services as required.
The trademark examining attorney subsequently issued an Office action dated May 10, 2019 requiring applicant to satisfy the following additional requirement: provide correct filing date of foreign application in amendment to add Section 44(d) basis. In addition, the trademark examining attorney noted that the requirement to amend the identification of services was CONTINUED and MAINTAINED.
Based on applicant’s November 5, 2019 Response, the trademark examining attorney notes that the following requirements have been satisfied: requirements to amend identification of services and provide correct filing date of foreign application. See TMEP §§713.02, 714.04.
Further, the application is suspended for the reasons specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until submission of foreign registration or proof that foreign registration was renewed. Applicant is required to provide a copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin; the foreign registration must be valid when the U.S. registration issues. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01(a). Action on the application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof that the foreign registration was renewed. TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04. Applicant must also provide an English translation if the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii).
If the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed, applicant should promptly notify the trademark examining attorney. See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a). In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another filing basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable. TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
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.
