<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">A bit odd, given that the letter doesn\u2019t specify what submission potentially violates the USPTO\u2019s rules. Maybe a separate email was sent to the applicant\u2019s counsel that isn\u2019t in the record?</p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;"> </p>
<p style="margin: 0in; font-family: Aptos, sans-serif; font-size: 12pt;">In any event, if they\u2019re going to suspend an application, they should just do that and let the applicant know why, rather than moving it to a \u201cshadow docket\u201d and taking no other action.</p>

<b>Subject:</b> Serial #________ - suspension based on MINI POP IT serial #90708026<br>
<br>
Dear [Examiner]<br>
<br>
This is an informal communication regarding:<br>
<br>
APPLICATION: Serial<br>
MARK: <br>
Law Office: 125 TM Attorney<br>
<br>
I write on behalf of the Applicant as the attorney of record.<br>
<br>
The Applicant's application is currently suspended, pending resolution of two applications:<br>
<br>
-- #________ which was abandoned July 16, 2024, and is no longer a basis for suspension; and<br>
<br>
-- a preexisting application for MINI POP IT serial #90708026 (the "Preexisting Application"). <br>
<br>
The Preexisting Application was filed May 13, 2021. A Letter Of Protest Memorandum ("LOP") was entered on June 17, 2024, which refers to registration #___________ (words only) which is owned by the Applicant, and is senior to the Preexisting Application.
But because no Trademark Examiner has been assigned to the Preexisting Application, the LOP has not been reviewed. Until an Examiner is assigned, the Preexisting Application will remain pending, and the Applicant's application may remain suspended as a result.<br>
<br>
This is an absurd and possibly illegal situation. The Applicant is unable to compete registration as long as suspension continues, and appears to be without due process to challenge the cause of the suspension. Not being able to complete registration harms
the Applicant by (as examples) preventing it from obtaining the protections of (1) the Bureau of U.S. Customs & Border Protection and (2) Amazon.com's brand registry -- in both cases to prevent sales of knock-off goods during the period when the Applicant's
product under the mark is most popular.<br>
<br>
I have since learned that there is another reason -- a reason apart from the Applicant's senior registration -- that the Preexisting Application should not provide a basis for suspension. The attorney named in the Preexisting Application -- "Jackson George"
-- is apparently <b><i>fictional</i></b>.<br>
<br>
The basis for this conclusion is the "Show Cause" order issued on August 25, 2022 addressed to Chen Huanyony (and others), a copy of which I attach ("ORDER TO SHOW CAUSE 90512567.pdf"). As you will see, the Order refers to Jackson George, "a presumed presumed
fictious [SIC] attorney" whose name was used on literally thousands of applications based on "false, fictitious or fraudulent information."<br>
<br>
Accordingly, the Preexisting Application should not provide a basis for suspension both because of the Applicant's senior rights,
<b><i>and</i></b> because the Preexisting Application is invalidated by false or fictitious information or fraud, or all three.<br>
<br>
<b>REQUEST<br>
<br>
</b>If you have the power to do so, please lift the Suspension that was issued June 13, 2024 on the Applicant's application, and allow it to proceed to publication.<br>
<br>
Alternatively, I request guidance on what procedure may be available to move the application forward, and, toward that end I am also copying "Trademark Assistance Center" <<span style="color: blue;"><u><a href="mailto:TrademarkAssistanceCenter@USPTO.GOV" id="OWAb127c575-686d-1b25-ed1e-dfaa404dd723" class="OWAAutoLink" style="color: blue; margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px;"> TrademarkAssistanceCenter@USPTO.GOV</a></u></span>>
