`
`M. Catherine Faint,
`Interlocutory Attorney:
`
`
`
`On October 24, 2013, applicant filed a proposed amendment
`
`to its application Serial No. 85812175.
`
`
`
`By the proposed amendment applicant seeks to delete the
`
`words, “pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of
`
`gastro-intestinal diseases and conditions,” such that the
`
`identification of goods is amended to read:
`
`“Pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of respiratory
`diseases and conditions, anti-inflammatory preparations, anti-
`phlogistic preparations, anti-allergic preparations, analgesic
`preparations, anti-rheumatic preparations, pharmaceutical
`preparations for the treatment of cardiovascular diseases and
`conditions, pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of
`cancer, pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of
`diabetes, pharmaceutical preparations for the treatment of
`osteoporosis."
`
`
`
`The amendment is clearly limiting in nature as required
`
`by Trademark Rule 2.71(b). While applicant indicates that the
`
`amendment is in accordance with the parties’ settlement
`
`agreement, opposer’s consent thereto is not of record, and a
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91212396
`
`
`copy of the settlement agreement is not attached. Where an
`
`unconsented motion to amend an application that is involved in
`
`an inter partes proceeding is filed before trial, the Board
`
`generally will defer determination of the motion until final
`
`decision. See TBMP § 514.03 (3d ed. rev. 2 2013).
`
`Accordingly, proceedings herein are suspended to allow
`
`applicant until THIRTY DAYS from the mailing date of this
`
`order to notify the Board in writing, if accurate, that
`
`opposer consents to the proposed amendment. If applicant does
`
`not respond within the time allotted, or if applicant, or
`
`opposer, notifies the Board in writing that opposer does not
`
`consent to the proposed amendment, proceedings will be resumed
`
`and the opposition will go forward on the application as
`
`presently worded in International Class 5.
`
`Proceedings are otherwise suspended.
