`
`
`On May 29, 2008, applicant filed an abandonment of its
`
`application Serial No. 76675620 under Trademark Rule 2.68 and
`
`2.135.1
`
`
`
`However, the applicable rule is Trademark Rule 2.135, which
`
`provides that if, in an inter partes proceeding, the applicant files
`
`an abandonment without the written consent of every adverse party to
`
`the proceeding, judgment shall be entered against the applicant.
`
`
`
`Accordingly, because opposer's written consent to the
`
`abandonment is not of record, judgment is hereby entered against
`
`applicant, the opposition is sustained and registration to applicant
`
`is refused.
`
`
`
`By the Trademark Trial
`and Appeal Board
`
`
`1 Applicant's abandonment does not indicate proof of service of a
`copy of same on counsel for opposer as required by Trademark Rule
`2.119. In order to expedite this matter, a copy of said abandonment
`is forwarded herewith to counsel for opposer.
