Before Simms, Cissel and Quinn, Administrative Trademark
Judges.

Opinion by Quinn, Administrative Trademark Judge:

The Board, in a final decision dated June 26, 2001,
affirmed the refusal to register under Section 2(d) of the
Trademark Act. Applicant filed a timely request for
reconsideration, based solely on the assertion that a
Section 8 affidavit of continued use was not filed in
connection with Registration No. 1,901,254 which is the
cited registration. Applicant essentially requested that
action on the appeal be suspended pending a final
determination of whether registrant filed a Section 8

affidavit. In an order dated August 2, 2001, the Board
noted that the grace period for filing a Section 8
affidavit remained open and, thus, the Board deferred
action on the request for reconsideration pending a
determination as to whether the cited registration has been
cancelled. The Board indicated that the status of the
cited registration would be known on approximately June 20,
2002.
It now has come to the Board’s attention that a
Section 8 affidavit was filed and accepted by the Office in
connection with the cited registration.
Accordingly, the request for reconsideration is
denied. The final decision dated June 26, 2001 stands.
