`
`Opposer,
`
`Applicant.
`
`Defendant, Michael Liang, has recently retained the undersigned to represent him before
`
`
`
`The Trademark Trial and Appeal Board of the United States Patent and Trademark Office in
`
`connection with the Opposition filed by Empire State Building Company, L.L.C. against the
`
`registration of the NYC BEER LAGER and Design mark.
`
`
`
`The undersigned is a sole practitioner. The undersigned is very busy in the 2011 tax
`
`season as a tax counsel. In addition, the undersigned is engaged in several litigation matters,
`
`including a multi-million dollar personal injury matter, in the extensive depositions, EBT, and
`
`discovery proceedings these days on behalf of his victim clients. Therefore, the undersigned
`
`cannot finish on or before the due day on April 10, 2012 the answer to the Opposition filed by
`
`
`
`the Opposer against the registration of the NYC BEER LAGER and Design mark. In addition,
`
`the undersigned will be out of the country for 10 days in the month of May, 2012. In order to
`
`meaningfully prepare the answer to the said opposition, the undersigned will have to arrange
`
`time in next 60 days to complete the answer.
`
`
`
`THEREFOR, defendant, via the undersigned counsel, moves this tribunal of the
`
`Trademark Trial and Appeal Board to enlarge the time for 60 days until June 11, 2012 to allow
`
`defendant to file the answer to opposition to the registration of the NYC BEER LAGER and
