[E-trademarks] How long is reasonable for an Examiner to take to respond to a 2(d) OAR?

[O'Connell Jr., Robert]

I think a polite status inquiry (citing TMEP 108.03 and 37 CFR 2.23(d) would be entirely reasonable at the six month point.

How long do you wait after filing a likelihood of confusion office action response to ping the Examiner about moving the application along? Is it unreasonable to do so if we filed an OAR 6 months ago?
