In a previous Office action dated July 11, 2019, the trademark examining attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark based on the following: Trademark Act Section 2(d) for likelihood of confusion with U.S. Registration Nos. 3094882, 5609311, and 5469992. In addition, the examining attorney issued an advisory referencing prior-filed applications that may present a bar to registration.

Further, while U.S. Application Serial No. 88168044 has now matured into U.S. Registration. No. 5970313, the prior-filed U.S. Application Serial Nos. 86617055 and 88125078 have not registered or abandoned.

The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.

Action on this application is suspended until the prior-filed application(s) below either registers or abandons. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c).
