The trademark examining attorney is suspending action on the application for the reason stated below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
MAINTENANCE DOCUMENTS DUE FOR CITED REGISTRATION: Registration has been refused under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. §1052(d), based on the cited registration; however, registration maintenance documents are or were due to be filed for the registration. If registration maintenance documents are not or were not timely filed, the registration will be cancelled under Section 8 or 71, and/or expire under Section 9 and will no longer present a bar to registration under Section 2(d). See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059, 1141k; 37 C.F.R. §§2.160(a), 2.182, 7.36(b). Therefore, action on this application is suspended pending disposition of the cited registration for six months, after which time the trademark examining attorney will determine whether to withdraw the Section 2(d) refusal. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(e).
REFUSAL CONTINUED AND MAINTAINED: The following refusal is continued and maintained: Section 2(d) Refusal.
The identification of goods requirement has been satisfied.
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.
