`Elizabeth A. Dunn, Attorney:
`
`Inasmuch as opposer consented thereto in its November 21, 2014
`
`filing, applicant’s November 17, 2014 request for an extension of time to file his
`
`answer is GRANTED inasmuch as proceedings are considered to have been
`suspended with the filing of the motion.
`
`
`
`On November 18, 2014, applicant filed an unconsented motion to
`
`amend the identification of goods in his opposed Application Serial No.
`
`86157681. On November 21, 2014, opposer filed an opposition to the
`
`amendment and moved for expungement of an communication marked “for
`
`settlement purposes only.”
`
`On November 26, 2014, applicant filed a proposed amendment to its
`
`application Serial No. 86157681, with opposer's consent, which stated that,
`
`contingent upon acceptance of the amendment, the Board could consider the
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91218833
`
`earlier amendment and “relevant portions” of Opposer’s opposition thereto to
`
`be moot.
`
`By the proposed amendment applicant seeks to amend the identification
`
`of goods in International Class 10 as follows:
`
`from
`
`
`
`"Beautifying devices, namely, surgical and medical implant
`devices comprised of artificial materials for use in cosmetic
`surgery for the stretching of the user's face, skin, thus minimizing
`his/her wrinkles, for the specific purpose of obtaining a younger
`look; medical devices, namely, surgical implant devices comprised
`primarily of artificial materials for use in plastic surgery as
`cosmetic devices for improving appearance"
`
`to (new language underlined):
`
`"Beautifying devices, namely, surgical and medical implant
`devices comprised of artificial materials for use in cosmetic
`surgery for the stretching of the user's face, skin, thus minimizing
`his/her wrinkles, for the specific purpose of obtaining a younger
`look, all of the foregoing excluding ophthalmological products and
`devices, dermatological products and devices, anti-infective, anti-
`inflammatory, antiviral, anti-allergy, healing and edema and dry-
`eye disease products and devices; medical devices, namely,
`surgical
`implant devices comprised primarily of artificial
`materials for use in plastic surgery as cosmetic devices for
`improving appearance, all
`of
`the
`foregoing
`excluding
`ophthalmological products and devices, dermatological products
`and devices, anti-infective, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, anti-
`allergy, healing and edema and dry-eye disease products and
`devices."
`
`Inasmuch as the amendment is clearly limiting in nature as required by
`
`
`
`Trademark Rule 2.71(a), and because opposer consents thereto, the amendment
`
`is approved and entered. See Trademark Rule 2.133(a). The contingency having
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91218833
`
`been met, applicant’s motion to amend filed November 18, 2014 will receive no
`
`further consideration.
`
`With respect to opposer’s motion for expungement, the Board does not
`
`expunge its records. However, if the parties submit a redacted copy of the same
`
`document for public viewing, the Board will mark the filing confidential, which
`
`will shield it from public view. Absent submission of a redacted copy, the Board
`
`will take no further action with respect to opposer’s motion for expungement
`
`If the amendment resolves this proceeding, opposer is allowed until thirty
`
`days from the mailing date of this order to file a withdrawal of the opposition,
`
`failing which the opposition will go forward on the application as amended. See
`
`Trademark Rule 2.106(c).
`
`If no response is filed, proceedings will be resumed and dates reset, as
`
`appropriate.
`
`Proceedings are otherwise suspended.
