Attention : Jack Canuel, Examiner
In response to the Examiner's report dated August 29, 2017 :
Respecification of the objected goods in accordance with CIPO's Goods and Services Manual.
Furthermore, in said report, you objected to the registration of this trade-mark based on alleged confusion with co-pending and confusing applications No. 1765744 and 1808563.
However, application No. 1765744 was abandoned on January 31, 2018 following opposition proceedings under Section 38 of the Trade-mark Act and application No. 1808563 was abandoned on April 3, 2018 since the applicant was in default in the prosecution of the application.
Consequently, your objection based on paragraph 37(1)(c) of the Act cannot be maintained since, in order to create confusion with a co-pending application, pursuant to paragraph 12(1)(d) of the Act, such application must still be pending. Such is no longer the case.
Therefore, we trust that this application is now acceptable for publication and we look forward to receiving the notice for this purpose in due course.
