`
`SUSPENSION NOTICE
`No Response Required
`
`Issue date:   April 05, 2022
`
`The application is suspended for the reason(s) specified below.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et seq.  
`
`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 was sent previously.
`
`            
`
`- U.S. Application Serial No(s). 87953770, 88040265 & 88046090
`
`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), (2) 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 the proceeding(s) is resolved.  See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §716.02(a), (c)-(d).
`
`- Opposition No(s). 91246792 & 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.

`
`USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE
`
`Office Action (Official Letter) has issued
`on April 05, 2022 for
`U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 88688731
`
`A USPTO examining attorney has reviewed your trademark application and issued an Office action.  You may be required to
`respond to this Office action.  Follow the steps below.
`
`(1)   Read the Office action.  This email is NOT the Office action.
`
`(2)  Respond to the Office action, if a response is required.  Respond by the deadline using the Trademark Electronic
`Application System (TEAS).  Your response must be received by the USPTO on or before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time of the last day
`of the response period.  Otherwise, your application will be abandoned.  See the Office action itself regarding how to respond.
`
`(3)   Direct general questions about using USPTO electronic forms, the USPTO website, the application process, the status of your
`application, and whether there are outstanding deadlines to the Trademark Assistance Center (TAC).
`
`After reading the Office action, address any question(s) regarding the specific content to the USPTO examining attorney identified in
`the Office action.
`
`GENERAL GUIDANCE
`·         Check the status of your application periodically in the Trademark Status & Document Retrieval (TSDR) database to avoid
`missing critical deadlines.
`
`·         Update your correspondence email address to ensure you receive important USPTO notices about your application.
`
`·         Beware of trademark-related scams.  Protect yourself from people and companies that may try to take financial advantage of
`you.  Private companies may call you and pretend to be the USPTO or may send you communications that resemble official
`USPTO documents to trick you.  We will never request your credit card number or social security number over the phone.  And
`all official USPTO correspondence will only be emailed from the domain “@uspto.gov.”   Verify the correspondence originated
`from us by using your Serial Number in our database, TSDR, to confirm that it appears under the “Documents” tab, or contact
`the Trademark Assistance Center.
`
`·         Hiring a U.S.-licensed attorney. 
`If you do not have an attorney and are not required to have one under the trademark rules,
`we encourage you to hire a U.S.-licensed attorney specializing in trademark law to help guide you through the registration
`process.  The USPTO examining attorney is not your attorney and cannot give you legal advice, but rather works for and
`represents the USPTO in trademark matters.
