`
`Tyrone Craven, Lead Paralegal Specialist:
`
`
`
`Applicant’s consented motion (filed March 27, 2014) to extend time to file
`
`its answer and reset trial dates is noted.
`
`Because the parties are negotiating for a possible settlement of this
`
`case, proceedings are suspended up to, and including July 18, 2014, subject
`
`to the right of either party to request resumption at any time. See
`
`Trademark Rules 2.117(c), and 2.127(a); and TBMP § 605.02.
`
`
`
`The parties are reminded that there is a continuing obligation to
`
`provide a report on the progress of the parties’ settlement efforts to establish
`
`good cause for any further extension or suspension. Such report must
`
`include: a recitation of issues that have been resolved and issues that remain
`
`to be resolved, and a firm timetable for resolution. Absent such a report, any
`
`future motion to extend or suspend may not be approved, even though agreed
`
`to by the parties.
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91209340
`
`
`In the event that there is no word from either party concerning the
`
`progress of their negotiations, upon conclusion of the suspension period,
`
`proceedings shall resume without further notice or order from the Board,
`
`upon the schedule set forth below.
`
`Applicant is allowed until August 18, 2014 in which to answer the
`
`notice of opposition/petition for cancellation. Conferencing, disclosure,
`
`discovery and trial dates are reset as follows:
