Subject: Letter of protest concerning U.S. Application Serial No. 90192112
for the mark GO2BANK
Upon consideration of evidence included with a letter of protest filed before publication of the above-referenced mark, it has been determined that the evidence is relevant to the following ground for refusal:
Possible likelihood of confusion under Trademark Act Section 2(d) with U.S. Registration No. 5900498.
U.S. Registration No. 5900498 is available in the X-Search database for your consideration. Please review it and determine whether to issue a refusal or make a requirement. 37 C.F.R. §2.149(d)(1); TMEP §1715.02.
NOTE: The consideration of a letter of protest filed before publication is not a legal determination by the USPTO of registrability, nor is it meant to compromise the integrity of the ex parte examination process. It merely serves to bring the submitted evidence to the attention of the examining attorney, who determines whether a refusal or requirement should be raised or ultimately made final. See 37 C.F.R. §2.149(d)(1).
