No Response Required
Issue date: February 18, 2020
The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
The pending applications below have earlier filing dates or effective filing dates than applicant’s application. If a mark in the applications 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 applications below either register or abandon. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). Information relevant to the applications below was sent previously.
- U.S. Application Serial Nos. 87275401 and 88377097
REFUSALS AND/OR REQUIREMENTS RESOLVED AND MAINTAINED AND CONTINUED
The following requirements are satisfied:
See TMEP §713.02.
The following refusals and requirements are maintained and continued:
· Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
See id. These refusals and requirements will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
SECTION 2(d) REFUSAL
Applicant argued in the Response that confusion is obviated by applicant’s amended identification. However, the application contains goods and services related to those in the registrations and prior-filed applications and the marks are highly similar. Accordingly, consumers may be confused as to the source of the goods and services.
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.
