SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: October 28, 2019
This suspension notice is in response to applicant’s communication filed on October 21, 2019.
In particular, applicant requested suspension of the application pursuant to TMEP §716.02(d) because a court proceeding is pending before the United States District Court for the Central District of California, Western Division – Los Angeles, namely, Case No. 2:19-cv-02702-VAP (JEMx).
Thus, the application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until the prior-filed application(s) below either registers or abandons. The pending application(s) below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant’s application. If the mark in the application(s) below registers, the USPTO may refuse registration of applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered mark(s). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208.02(c). Action on this application is suspended until the prior-filed application(s) below either registers or abandons. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). Information relevant to the application(s) below is provided in this letter.
- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 88378542
Application suspended until legal proceeding(s) involving the applied-for mark is resolved. The legal proceeding(s) below involves (1) a registered mark that conflicts with applicant’s mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d), a mark in a pending application(s) that could conflict with applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) if it registers, and/or (3) the registrability of applicant’s mark. 15 U.S.C. §1052; see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d), 1208 et seq. Because the outcome of this proceeding(s) could directly affect whether applicant’s mark can register, action on this application is suspended until proceeding(s) is resolved. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d).
- Civil Action No(s). 2:19-cv-02702-VAP (JEMx)

See TMEP §713.02.
CONCLUSION
