`Tyrone Craven, Supervisory Paralegal:
`
`
`Appellant filed a notice of appeal, with the required fee, on the date indicated
`
`above. The appeal was filed under the provisions of Trademark Rule 2.141(a) from a
`
`final refusal in the above-identified application and is hereby instituted.
`
`Appellant has filed a request for reconsideration which is still pending before the
`
`Trademark Examining Attorney.1 In view of the filing of the request for
`
`reconsideration, the appeal is suspended and the application is remanded to the
`
`Examining Attorney to consider the request for reconsideration.
`
`If registrability is found on the basis of the request for reconsideration, the appeal
`
`will be moot. In the event the refusal of registration is maintained, and assuming
`
`that the request for reconsideration does not raise a new issue, the application will
`
`be returned to the Board, proceedings in the appeal will be resumed, and Appellant

`
`raises a new issue, the Examining Attorney may not issue a final refusal until the
`
`Appellant has been given an opportunity to respond. Upon issuance of a final refusal,
`
`proceedings in the appeal will be resumed, and Appellant will be allowed time in
`
`which to file an appeal brief.
