This Suspension is in response to applicant’s communication filed on 09/18/2019.

Application suspended until submission of foreign registration or proof that foreign registration was renewed.

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).
