Possible likelihood of confusion under Trademark Act Section 2(d) with U.S. Registration Nos. 3666813, 4624586 and 4624587.
U.S. Registration Nos. 3666813, 4624586 and 4624587 are available in the XSearch database for your consideration. Please review them 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).
