`
`REQUEST FOR EXTENSION OF TIME UNDER 37 C.F.R. 2.89
`
`To The Commissioner of Patents & Trademarks:
`
`Applicant requests a six-month extension of time to file its
`
`Statement of Use. Applicant believes that it has made valid use
`
`of the mark in commerce, as evidenced by the Statement of Use
`
`submitted with this request; however, if the Statement of Use is
`
`found by the Patent & Trademark Office to be fatally defective,
`
`Applicant will need additional time in which to file a new
`
`Statement .
`
`Applicant has a continued bona fide intention to use the mark
`
`in comerce in connection with the goods identified in the Notice
`
`of Allowance.
`
`This is the first request for an Extension of Time following
`
`mailing of the Notice of Allowance.

`
`The assigned examining attorney has reviewed the referenced application and determined the
`following.
`
`LIKELIHOOD OF CONFUSION
`
`The examining attorney refuses registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C.
`Section 1052(d), because the applicant's mark, when used on the identified goods, is likely to
`be confused with the registered marks in U.S. Registration Nos. 1,482,705; 1,540,240; and
`1,568,152. TMEP section 1207. See the enclosed registrations.
`
`Section 2(d) of the Trademark Act bars registration where a mark so resembles a registered
`mark, that it is likely, when applied to the goods or services, to cause confusion, or to cause
`mistake or to deceive. TMEP section 1207.01. The Court in In re E. I. DuPont de Nemours
`& Co., 476 F.2d 1357, 177 USPQ 563 (CCPA 1973), listed the principal factors to consider
`in determining whether there is a likelihood of confusion. Among these factors are the
`similarity of the marks as to appearance, soun
