The pending application(s) below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant’s application. If the mark in the application(s) 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 application(s) below either registers or abandons. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c).

- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 88839149
Refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) resolved and maintained and continued. The following refusal(s) and/or requirement(s) is/are maintained and continued:
• Section 2(d) Refusal – Likelihood of Confusion
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.
CONSENT AGREEMENT ADVISORY
The examining attorney notes that the applicant has submitted a consent agreement between applicant and cited registrant. However, the examining attorney would like to bring to attention that the consent agreement has misstated the wording in the applied-for mark, namely, WILDER’S TRUSTED FOR MEN and further references to “TRUSTED FOR MEN”, instead of the correct wording WILDER’S TRUSTED BY MEN.
CONCLUSION
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.
