SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: October 12, 2019
The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until disposition of cited registration. Registration maintenance documents are or were due to be filed for the registration 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 registration 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. Action on this application is suspended for six months to await disposition of the cited registration; after which, the trademark examining attorney will determine whether to maintain or withdraw the Section 2(d) refusal. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(e).
To avoid inadvertent cancellation or expiration of a registration due to a delay in processing maintenance documents, the USPTO’s policy is to wait until 30 days after expiration of the grace period before updating its automated records to show that a registration has been cancelled or expired. Id.
Refusal maintained and continued. The following refusal is maintained and continued:
• Refusal under Section 2(d) – Likelihood of Confusion
See TMEP §713.02. The refusal will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless the cited registered mark is cancelled or a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
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.
