`
`Applicant’s consented motion, filed November 17, 2025, to suspend this proceeding
`for 30-days is granted.

`proceedings are suspended, subject to the right of either party to request resumption
`at any time.1 See Trademark Rules 2.117(c) and 2.127(a); and TBMP § 605.02.
`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

`a party or parties to another Board proceeding, a civil action, or an expungement or
`reexamination proceeding involving the subject application or registration, or involving
`common questions or law or fact, the parties must notify the Board so the Board may consider
`whether it is appropriate to consolidate proc eedings under Fed. R. Civ. P. 42(a), and/or
`suspend proceedings under Trademark Rule 2.117(a) or (c).

`Generally, the Federal Rules of Evidence apply to Board trials. Trial testimony is
`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
`submitted in accordance with Trademark Rules 2.128(a) and (b). All motions and
`briefs, including final briefs on the case, should utilize citations to the TTABVUE
`record as explained in TBMP § 801.03. 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. 2 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.
