`
`
`
`Veronica P. White, Lead Paralegal Specialist:
`
`Opposer’s consented motion, filed July 23, 2024, to further suspend this
`
`proceeding for 60-days is granted.
`
`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.
`
`The parties are reminded that any future motion to extend or suspend must be
`
`accompanied by a detailed report. The report must set forth what progress the parties
`
`have made towards settlement during the previous period of suspension or extension.
`
`Absent such a report, any future motion to extend or suspend may not be approved,
`
`even though agreed to by the parties.
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91279048
`
`
`If, during the suspension period, either of the parties or their attorneys have a
`
`change of address or email address, the Board should be so informed. See Trademark
`
`Rule 2.18(b)(1).
`
`In the event that there is no word from either party concerning the progress of
`
`their negotiations, proceedings shall resume without further notice or order
`
`from the Board, upon the schedule set forth below.

`
`Request for Oral Hearing (optional) Due
`
`Generally, the Federal Rules of Evidence apply to Board trials. Trial testimony is
`
`12/27/2025
`
`taken and introduced out of the presence of the Board during the assigned testimony
`
`periods. The parties may stipulate to a wide variety of matters, and many
`
`requirements relevant to the trial phase of Board proceedings are set forth in
`
`Trademark Rules 2.121 through 2.125. These include pretrial disclosures, the
`
`manner and timing of taking testimony, matters in evidence, and the procedures for
`
`submitting and serving testimony and other evidence, including affidavits,
`
`declarations, deposition transcripts and stipulated evidence. Trial briefs shall be
`
`
`
`2
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91279048
`
`
`submitted in accordance with Trademark Rules 2.128(a) and (b). Oral argument at
`
`final hearing will be scheduled only upon the timely submission of a separate notice
`
`as allowed by Trademark Rule 2.129(a).
`
`TIPS FOR FILING EVIDENCE, TESTIMONY, OR LARGE DOCUMENTS
`
`The Board requires each submission to meet the following criteria before it will be
`
`considered: 1) pages must be legible and easily read on a computer screen; 2) page
`
`orientation should be determined by its ease of viewing relevant text or evidence, for
`
`example, there should be no sideways or upside-down pages; 3) pages must appear in
`
`their proper order; 4) depositions and exhibits must be clearly labeled and numbered
`
`– use separator pages between exhibits and clearly label each exhibit using sequential
`
`letters or numbers; and 5) the entire submission should be text-searchable.
`
`Additionally, submissions must be compliant with Trademark Rules 2.119 and 2.126.
`
`Submissions failing to meet all of the criteria above may require re-filing. Note:
`
`Parties are strongly encouraged to check the entire document before filing.1 The
`
`Board will not extend or reset proceeding schedule dates or other deadlines to allow
`
`time to re-file documents. For more tips and helpful filing information, please visit
`
`the ESTTA help webpage.
