`
`SUSPENSION NOTICE
`No Response Required
`
`Issue date:   February 24, 2020
`
`The application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.  
`
` 
` 
` 
`    
` 
`  
`  
`

`

`USPTO database searched; prior-filed potentially conflicting pending application(s) found.  The trademark examining attorney searched the
`USPTO database of registered and pending marks and found no conflicting registered marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act
`Section 2(d).  15 U.S.C. §1052(d); TMEP §704.02.  However, a mark(s) in a prior-filed pending application(s) may bar registration of
`applicant’s mark.
`
`The pending application(s) below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant’s application.   If the mark in the application(s)
`below registers, the USPTO may refuse registration of applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the
`registered mark(s). 15 U.S.C. §1052(d); see 37 C.F.R. §2.83; TMEP §§1208.02(c). Action on this application is suspended until the prior-filed
`application(s) below either registers or abandons.  37 C.F.R. §2.83(c).  Information relevant to the application(s) below is provided in this letter.
`
`            
`
`- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 87953770, 88040265, 88046090 and 88105322
`
`Application suspended until legal proceeding(s) involving the applied-for mark is resolved.  The legal proceeding(s) below involves (1) a
`registered mark that conflicts with applicant’s mark under Trademark Act Section 2(d), a mark in a pending application(s) that could conflict
`with applicant’s mark under Section 2(d) if it registers, and/or (3) the registrability of applicant’s mark.
`  15 U.S.C. §1052; see 37 C.F.R. §2.83;
`TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d), 1208 et seq.  Because the outcome of this proceeding(s) could directly affect whether applicant’s mark can register,
`action on this application is suspended until proceeding(s) is resolved.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716.02(a), (c)-(d).
`
`            
`
`- Opposition No(s). 91246792 and 91249698
`
`Suspension process.  The USPTO will periodically check this application to determine if it should remain suspended.  See TMEP §716.04.  As
`needed, the trademark examining attorney will issue a letter to applicant to inquire about the status of the reason for the suspension.  TMEP
`
`§716.05.  
`No response required.  Applicant may file a response, but is not required to do so.
