REGISTRATION MAINTENANCE DOCUMENT(S) FILED
Registration had been refused under Section 2(d), based on the cited registration(s). However, registration maintenance documents were due to be filed for the cited registration(s). It is now believed that these registration maintenance documents were not timely filed, and that the cited registration(s) has been or will be canceled under Section 8 or has expired or will expire under Section 9 and will no longer present a bar to registration under Section 2(d). Therefore, I hereby request removal of this application from suspension for further action by the examining attorney.
