`In re Apple Inc.
`
`Ex Parte Appeal No. 90177287 (parent)
`Ex Parte Appeal No. 90177346
`
`
`
`Nicole Thier, Paralegal Specialist:
`
` On November 14, 2022, the Trademark Examining Attorney filed a motion to
`
`consolidate the above-identified appeals1 In light of the similarity of the records
`
`and issues in these appeals, the motion is granted, and applications Serial Nos.
`
`90177287 and 90177346 are consolidated. See TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL
`
`BOARD MANUAL OF PROCEDURE (TBMP) § 1214.
`
` The consolidated appeals may be presented in the same brief; however, the
`
`brief should bear the serial number of each application and a copy of the brief
`
`should be submitted for each application. Also, these cases may be argued
`
`together if a request for oral hearing is filed.
`
`A request for an oral hearing, if desired, may be made not later than ten days after
`
`the due date of Applicant’s reply brief.
`
`
`1 In her motion to consolidate (4 TTABVUE), the examining attorney mistakenly indicated
`that her appeal brief is due, however, these appeals are before the examining atorney for
`consideration of appellant’s request for reconsideration filed concurrently with its notice of
`appeal. In view thereof, the appeals remain suspended and jurisdiction remains with the
`examining attorney for consideration of the request for reconsideration.
