SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: September 30, 2020
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. 88742542
Application suspended until legal proceeding involving the applied-for mark is resolved. The legal proceeding below involves (1) a registered mark that conflicts with applicant’s mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d), a mark in a pending application that could conflict with applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) if it registers, and/or (3) the registrability of applicant’s mark. 15 U.S.C. §1052; see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d), 1208 et seq. Because the outcome of this proceeding could directly affect whether applicant’s mark can register, action on this application is suspended until proceeding is resolved. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d).
- Cancellation No. 92075217
Refusal maintained and continued. The Section 2(d) Refusal is maintained and continued. See TMEP §713.02. This refusal 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.
No response required. Applicant may file a response, but is not required to do so.
