`
`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.  
`FOREIGN REGISTRATION:  Applicant is required to provide a true copy, a photocopy, a certification, or a certified copy of a foreign
`registration from applicant’s country of origin that will be in force at the time the United States registration issues.   15 U.S.C. §1126(e); 37
`C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); In re Societe D’Exploitation de la Marque Le Fouquet’s , 67 USPQ2d 1784, 1788-89 (TTAB 2003); TMEP
`§§1003.04(a)-(b), 1004.01, 1004.01(a).  Action on this application is suspended until the USPTO receives a copy of such foreign registration or
`proof of its renewal.  TMEP §§716.02(b), 1003.04(a)-(b), 1004.01(a).  If the foreign registration or renewal document is not in English, applicant
`must provide an English translation.  37 C.F.R. §2.34(a)(3)(ii)-(iii); TMEP §1004.01(b).  Further, applicant should notify the trademark
`examining attorney in the event that the foreign application abandons or the foreign registration is not renewed.  See TMEP §§1003.08,
`1004.01(a).  In such case, applicant may amend the application to rely on another basis, if appropriate, and will retain the priority filing date, if
`applicable.  TMEP §§1003.08, 1004.01(a).
`
`REFUSAL(S)/REQUIREMENT(S) CONTINUED AND MAINTAINED:   The following refusal(s)/requirement(s) is/are continued and
`
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
` 
`  
` 
`

`

`maintained:  The Section 2(e)(1) refusal to register the mark because it is merely descriptive
`
`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.

`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.
