`
`Issue date: June 14, 2022
`
`This Office action is in response to applicant’s communication filed on June 8, 2022.
`
`In a previous Office action dated January 5, 2022, the trademark examining attorney refused
`registration of the applied-for mark based on the following: Trademark Act Section 2(d) for a
`likelihood of confusion with several registered marks and failure to show the applied-for mark in use in
`commerce with any of the specified goods. Applicant was also advised of several prior-filed
`applications, which if registered, may present a bar to registration.
`
`The trademark examining attorney has reviewed applicant's arguments and has determined that they are
`
`
`
`not persuasive. These arguments will be addressed in any subsequent Office actions that may be issued.
`
`The application is suspended for the reason specified below. See 37 C.F.R. §2.67; TMEP §§716 et
`seq.
`
`The pending application below has an earlier filing date or effective filing date than applicant's
`application. If the mark in the application below registers, the USPTO may refuse registration of
`applicant's mark under Section 2(d) because of a likelihood of confusion with the registered marks. 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 applications below either register or abandon. 37 C.F.R. §2.83(c). Information
`relevant to the application below was sent previously.

`USPTO OFFICIAL NOTICE
`
`Office Action (Official Letter) has issued
`on June 14, 2022 for
`U.S. Trademark Application Serial No. 97064385
`
`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 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.

`
`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.
