SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: December 18, 2019
Suspension: The application is suspended for the following reasons. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Earlier filed pending applications: 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 was sent previously.
- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 86788415 and 87057445
Submission of foreign registration: Applicant is required to provide a copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin; the foreign registration must be valid when the U.S. registration issues. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01(a). Action on the application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof that the foreign registration was renewed. TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04. Applicant must also provide an English translation if the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii).
If the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed, applicant should promptly notify the trademark examining attorney. See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a). In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another filing basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable. TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
Refusal maintained and continued: Trademark Act Section 2(d) refusal to register based on likelihood of confusion with U.S. Registration No. 3953069.
Issues withdrawn/satisfied: The citation to pending U.S. Application Serial Nos. 86832177 and 88277446 is withdrawn as the pending applications have abandoned. The citation to pending U.S. Application Serial No. 86935479 is withdrawn based on the amended identification of services. The following requirements have been satisfied: clarification of identification and classification of services; disclaimer; clarification of entity type.
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.
