`SUSPENSION NOTICE: NO RESPONSE NEEDED
`
`The trademark examining attorney is suspending action on the application for the reason(s) stated below.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et
`
`seq.  
`
`The USPTO will periodically conduct a status check of the application to determine whether suspension remains appropriate, and the trademark
`examining attorney will issue as needed an inquiry letter to applicant regarding the status of the matter on which suspension is based.  TMEP
`§§716.04, 716.05.  Applicant will be notified when suspension is no longer appropriate.  See TMEP §716.04.
`
`No response to this notice is necessary; however, if applicant wants to respond, applicant should use the “Response to Suspension Inquiry or
`Letter of Suspension” form online at http://teasroa.uspto.gov/rsi/rsi.
`
`The effective filing date of the pending application(s) identified below precedes the filing date of applicant’s application.  If the mark in the
`referenced application(s) registers, applicant’s mark may be refused registration under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with
`that registered mark(s).   See 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208 et seq.  Therefore, action on this application is suspended until
`the earlier-filed referenced application(s) is either registered or abandoned.  37 C.F.R. §2.83(c).  A copy of information relevant to this referenced
`application(s) was sent previously.

`WARNING
`
`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION:  Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations.  These companies often use names that
`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document.  Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.”   
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation.  All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.”   For more information on how to handle
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
