`
`Nicole Thier, Paralegal Spcialist:
`
`Counsel for iCloud Inc., potential opposer herein, has on
`July 30, 2012 filed a request for a further 60-day extension
`of time in which to file an opposition to the above-
`identified application.
`
`Extensions of time to oppose may be granted only as
`provided in Trademark Rule 2.102:1
`
` …
`
` (3) After receiving one or two extensions of time
`totaling ninety days, a person may file one final
`request for an extension of time for an additional
`sixty days. The Board will grant this request only
`upon written consent or stipulation signed by the
`applicant or its authorized representative, or a
`written request by the potential opposer or its
`authorized representative stating that the applicant or
`its authorize representative has consented to the
`request, or a showing of extraordinary circumstances.
`No further extensions of time to file an opposition
`will be granted under any circumstances.
`
`
`
`1 Trademark Rule 2.102 was recently amended. See, Rules of
`Practice for Trademark-Related Filings Under the Madrid Protocol
`Implementation Act, 68 Fed. Reg. 55,748 (Sept. 26, 2003). The
`amended rule applies to any potential opposer which filed its
`first extension of time against a particular application on or
`after November 2, 2003. Id.
`
`
`
`Inasmuch as the circumstances recited in the instant request
`are not deemed to be extraordinary in nature, and since
`there is no indication that applicant has consented thereto,
`the request is denied. Potential opposer's remedy lies in
`the filing of a consented request for an extension of time
`no later than August 1, 2012 or by filing a petition for
`cancellation after applicant's application has matured into
`registration.
