Application suspended until disposition of cited registrations. Registration maintenance documents are or were due to be filed for the registrations cited against applicant in a refusal based on Trademark Act Section 2(d). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d). If the maintenance documents are not timely filed and accepted by the USPTO, the cited registrations will cancel and/or expire and will no longer bar registration of applicant’s mark under Section 2(d). See 15 U.S.C. §§1058, 1059, 1141k.

See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(e).
Refusals maintained and continued. The following refusals are maintained and continued:
• Refusal – Section 2(d) Likelihood of Confusion
• Refusal – Section 2(e)(1) Merely Descriptive
See TMEP §713.02.
These refusals will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
To properly introduce Internet evidence into the record, an applicant must provide (1) an image file or printout of the downloaded webpage, (2) the date the evidence was downloaded or accessed, and (3) the complete URL address of the webpage. See In re I-Coat Co., LLC, 126 USPQ2d 1730, 1733 (TTAB 2018); TBMP §1208.03; TMEP §710.01(b). Accordingly, the underlying webpages associated with the web addresses and/or links will not be considered.
