`
`
`Tyrone Craven, Paralegal Specialist:
`
`Opposer’s consented motion filed August 25, 2011 to
`
`
`
`continue suspension of proceedings for sixty days is granted.1
`
`
`
`Accordingly, proceedings herein are suspended up to, and
`
`including, October 24, 2011, subject to the right of either
`
`party to request resumption at any time. See Trademark Rule
`
`2.117(c).
`
`
`
`If the parties agree to another extension or suspension
`
`for settlement, they will be expected to provide a
`
`supplemental status report to the Board on the progress of
`
`any ongoing settlement negotiations. Such report must
`
`include: a recitation of discovery taken to date, a
`
`statement of issues that have been resolved and issues that
`
`remain to be resolved, and a firm timetable for resolution.
`
`
`1 The Board finds good cause for the suspension request based
`upon the status report submitted concurrently with opposer’s
`consented motion to suspend.
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91194728
`
`
`Absent such a report, any future motion to extend or suspend
`
`will not be approved, even though agreed to by the parties.
`
`
`
`In the event that there is no word from either party
`
`concerning the progress of their negotiations, upon
`
`conclusion of the suspension period, proceedings shall
`
`resume without further notice or order from the Board, upon
`
`the schedule set out below.

`Board should be so informed.
