`
`
`George C. Pologeorgis, Interlocutory Attorney:
`
`
` It has come to the attention of the Board that
`
`Opposition Nos. 91188519 and 91193344 involve the same
`
`parties and common questions of law and fact. It would
`
`therefore be appropriate to consolidate these proceedings
`
`pursuant to Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a).
`
`
`
`Consolidation is discretionary with the Board, and may
`
`be ordered upon motion granted by the Board, or upon
`
`stipulation of the parties approved by the Board, or upon
`
`the Board’s own initiative. See, for example, Wright &
`
`Miller, Federal Practice and Procedure: Civil §2383 (2004);
`
`Regatta Sport Ltd. v. Telux-Pioneer Inc., 20 USPQ2d 1154
`
`(TTAB 1991) (Board’s initiative).
`
`
`
`Accordingly, the above-noted opposition proceedings are
`
`hereby consolidated and may be presented on the same record
`
`and briefs.
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91188519
`Opposition No. 91193344
`
`
`
`The Board file will be maintained in Opposition No.
`
`91188519 as the “parent” case. The parties should no longer
`
`file separate papers in connection with each proceeding
`
`except for answers to the main pleading and/or any asserted
`
`counterclaims. Such answers should be filed in the
`
`appropriate corresponding proceeding. Only a single copy of
`
`each paper should be filed by the parties and each paper
`
`should bear the case captions as set forth above.1
`
`
`
`In accordance with Board practice, discovery and trial
`
`dates are reset to conform to the dates latest set in the
`
`opposition proceedings that are being consolidated. The
`
`Board notes, however, that in each of these now consolidated
`
`proceedings the parties filed a consented motion on July 28,
`
`2010 to suspend the proceedings up to, and including,
`
`September 28, 2010 so that the parties may pursue settlement
`
`negotiations. Each of the motions to suspend is hereby
`
`granted.
`
`Accordingly, these now consolidated proceedings are
`
`suspended up to, and including, September 28, 2010, subject
`
`to the right of either party to request resumption at any
`
`time. See Trademark Rule 2.117(c).
`
`
`1 The parties should promptly inform the Board in writing of any
`other related inter partes proceedings. See Fed. R. Civ. P.
`42(a).
