`
`ELIZABETH J. WINTER, INTERLOCUTORY ATTORNEY:
`
`Applicant’s consented motion (filed February 11, 2009)
`
`
`
`to consolidate proceedings is hereby granted. See Fed. R.
`
`Civ. P. 42(a); and TBMP § 511 (2d ed. rev. 2004).
`
`Opposition Nos. 91184464 and 91184465 are hereby
`
`consolidated and may be presented on the same record and
`
`briefs. Papers should bear the number of each of the
`
`consolidated cases, although Opposition No. 91184464 is
`
`treated as the “parent” case, and papers filed by the
`
`parties, or issued by the Board, will be placed only in the
`
`file of the parent case. The parties need not file a copy
`
`for each consolidated case; a single copy, bearing the
`
`number of each consolidated case, normally is sufficient.
`
`
`
`Opposition Nos. 91184464 and 91184465
`
`Consolidated cases do not lose their separate identity
`
`because of consolidation. Each proceeding retains its
`
`separate character and requires entry of a separate judgment.
`
`See 9A Wright & Miller, Fed. Prac. & Proc. Civ.3d § 2382
`
`(2008). In that regard, the Board notes that issue has been
`
`joined in each proceeding.
`
`In accordance with Board practice, discovery,
`
`disclosure deadlines, and trial dates are generally reset to
`
`conform to the dates set in the most recently filed of the
`
`proceedings that are being consolidated. The Board notes,
`
`however, that the consolidated proceedings currently have the
`
`same trial schedule. In view thereof, the remaining
`
`disclosure and trial dates, including the close of discovery,
`
`remain as set in the Board’s order mailed on October 10, 2008
`
`in each proceeding, which is set forth below for the parties’
`
`convenience:
`
`IN EACH INSTANCE, a copy of the transcript of
`
`testimony, together with copies of documentary exhibits,
`
`
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Opposition Nos. 91184464 and 91184465
`
`must be served on the adverse party WITHIN THIRTY DAYS
`
`after completion of the taking of testimony. See Trademark
`
`Rule 2.l25, 37 C.F.R. § 2.125.
`
`Briefs shall be filed in accordance with Trademark
`
`Rules 2.l28(a) and (b), 37 C.F.R. §§ 2.128(a) and (b). An
`
`oral hearing will be set only upon request filed as
`
`provided by Trademark Rule 2.l29, 37 C.F.R. § 2.129.
