`
`
`Victoria von Vistauxx, Paralegal Specialist:
`
`On July 21, 2020, the Board suspended proceedings and allowed Applicant time
`
`to provide a copy of the “Consent Agreement” entered between Applicant and the
`
`owner of Registration No. 3185742, cited by the Trademark Examining Attorney
`
`against registration of Applicant’s applied-for mark. 13 TTABVUE. On August 6,
`
`2020, Applicant’s filed a copy of the referenced agreement and a request for remand.
`
`14 TTABVUE.
`
` Applicant seeks remand so that the Trademark Examining Attorney may review
`
`the parties’ agreement. Additionally, Applicant seeks to introduce this evidence into
`
`the record of the involved applications. Accordingly, good cause having been now
`
`shown, the request for remand is granted. However, request for reconsideration of
`
`the refusal to register requires consideration by the Examiner.
`
`In view thereof, proceedings are suspended and the electronic record of the
`
`application files are remanded to the Examining attorney for consideration of
`
`
`
`
`
`Exparte Appeal Nos. 88164332 and 88164367
`
`
`Applicant’s request.
`
`In the event that registrability is found on the basis of the additional evidence,
`
`the appeal will be moot and the Board should be so informed. In the event refusal is
`
`maintained, a brief office action, excluding the usual language allowing Applicant six
`
`months to respond, should be issued, the files should be returned to the Board.
`
`Proceedings will be resumed, and Applicant will be allowed time to file a brief.
