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.

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.
Please note that the Section 2(d) refusal regarding cited U.S. Registration Number 4641864 is maintained and CONTINUED for the reasons previously stated.
Note: The Applicant has requested suspension of the application “pending Applicant's attention to and negotiations with the owners of the mark cited in the application”, i.e. in order to obtain a consent agreement from the owner of cited U.S. Registration Number 4641864. Suspension is permitted only “for good and sufficient cause.” 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02. As indicated in a telephone conference with the Applicant, as a general rule, the USPTO will not suspend under these circumstances. TMEP §716.02. However, should Applicant initiate formal legal proceedings to cancel the cited registration, suspension would be appropriate. TMEP §716.02(a).
