`
`Karl Kochersperger, Paralegal Specialist:
`
`
`Applicant’s consented motion (filed March 2, 2015) to suspend this
`
`proceeding for 60 days is granted. The parties are reminded that there is a
`
`continuing obligation to provide good cause in the form of progress reports for
`
`any further extension or suspension request.
`
`Because the parties are negotiating for a possible settlement of this
`
`case, proceedings are suspended, 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.
`
`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 in applicant’s motion.
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91211418
`
`
`Applicant is allowed until May 4, 2015 in which to answer the notice of
`
`opposition. Conferencing, disclosure, discovery and trial dates are reset as
`
`follows:
`
`In each instance, a copy of the transcript of testimony together with
`
`copies of documentary exhibits, must be served on the adverse party within
`
`thirty days after completion of the taking of testimony. Trademark Rule
`
`2.l25.
`
`Briefs shall be filed in accordance with Trademark Rules 2.128(a) and
`
`(b). An oral hearing will be set only upon request filed as provided by
`
`Trademark Rule 2.l29.
`
`If, during the suspension period, either of the parties or their attorneys
`
`should have a change of address, the Board should be so informed.1
`
`
`1 If the parties are (or during the pendency of this proceeding become) parties to
`another proceeding involving the subject application/registration, the parties must
`notify the Board so the Board can consider whether consolidation or suspension of
`proceedings is appropriate.
