SUSPENSION NOTICE
No Response Required
Issue date: February 04, 2021
The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
Application suspended until submission of foreign registration or proof that foreign registration was renewed. Applicant is required to provide a copy of a foreign registration from applicant’s country of origin; the foreign registration must be valid when the U.S. registration issues. 15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §§1004, 1004.01(a). Action on the application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or proof that the foreign registration was renewed. TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04. Applicant must also provide an English translation if the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English. 37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii).
If the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed, applicant should promptly notify the trademark examining attorney. See TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a). In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another filing basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if applicable. TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
Requirement resolved. The following requirement is satisfied and withdrawn:
See TMEP §713.02.
Refund Request Denied. In regards to applicant’s request for a refund, the examining attorney must deny the request. Applicant voluntarily added a second class and then voluntarily deleted that class because it was the only permissible way to resolve the requirement. TMEP §810.02 explicitly states that an applicant is not entitled to a refund “if an applicant deletes a class from an application” and this principal applies equally in this situation. The reasoning for the deletion is not relevant and it is immaterial that the addition of Class 35 was never permissible. It is also immaterial that applicant has filed a new application for these services.
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.
