The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
The pending application below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant’s application. If the mark in the application 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. 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 below either registers or abandons. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). Information relevant to the application below was sent previously.

Refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) resolved and maintained and continued.
The following requirement is satisfied:
- Amendment to Identification of Services Required

See id. These refusal will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
The applicant’s arguments against a likelihood of confusion have been considered; however, the examining attorney remains unconvinced at this time. The examining attorney will address applicant’s arguments against a likelihood of confusion once the above-referenced, prior-filed application has either registered or abandoned.
