The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.
This application has been suspended pending administrative review of suspected improper submissions made to USPTO in connection with this application. The application will remain suspended until an
administrative review of the record can be made regarding the conduct at issue.
While the application is suspended, no further action will be taken in this application by the examining attorney. If the application is unexamined, a review of the merits of the application and a
search of the USPTO database of registered and pending marks for potentially conflicting marks is deferred until the proceeding may be resumed. See TMEP §704.02. If the application has been
examined, all outstanding refusals and requirements are maintained and continued. See TMEP §§705.01, 713.02. Finally, if a FINAL Office action has issued, the examining attorney
will not "withdraw the finality" of the refusal in order to suspend; if the application is eventually removed from suspension and the grounds for refusal remain operative, the examining attorney will
issue a "Subsequent Final Refusal," thereby reissuing the final refusal, and the applicant will have the time specified in the subsequent final refusal to respond. See TMEP §716.06.
When the administrative review is completed, the applicant will be notified of any further action taken in connection with the application, which may include removal from suspension.
The USPTO's website includes resources about scam awareness, potentially misleading solicitations, excluded parties, and sanction orders. General questions may be directed to trademark
information specialists in the USPTO's Trademark Assistance
Center. |
If you believe that you received this notice of suspension in error, you may file a Petition to the Director with a fee
requesting the application be restored to pendency and allowed to proceed with examination. See 37 C.F.R. § 2.146. Fees for filing a Petition to Director can be found on
the USPTO's website. Any misrepresentation or deceit on the part of a representative or other third party does not necessarily constitute an "extraordinary situation" for the purposes of a petition
to the Director. Applicants are reminded that they are responsible for actions or omissions made on their behalf.
