This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on February 25, 2020.
In a previous Office action dated October 8, 2019, the trademark examining attorney refused registration of the applied-for mark based on the following: Trademark Act Section 2(d) for a likelihood of confusion with a registered mark. In addition, applicant was required to satisfy the following requirements: clarify the entity type and amend the identification of services. Further, prior pending applications were provided. Please see below for the status of each issue.
The application is suspended for the reasons 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.
- U.S. Application Serial No. 88390258

Refusal and requirements resolved and maintained and continued. The following refusal and requirement are satisfied or withdrawn:
• Section 2(d) Refusal for Likelihood of Confusion
• Entity Indefinite
See TMEP §713.02.
The following requirement is maintained and continued:
• Identification of Services Requirement
See id. These refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) will be made final once this application is removed from suspension, unless a new issue arises. See TMEP §716.01.
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.
