3 Applicant has described the marks that include Chinese characters as consisting “of three
Chinese characters appearing above the term ‘oriherb’ in stylized font. The third Chinese
character is enclosed in a circle with a cloud motif appearing inside the lower right edge of
the circle.” The composite mark without Chinese characters is described as “the term ‘oriherb’
in stylized characters. The letter ‘b’ is enclosed in a circle with a cloud motif appearing inside
the lower right edge of the circle.” Color is not claimed as a feature in any of the marks.
The transliteration statement in the marks with Chinese characters is: “The non-Latin
characters in the mark transliterate to ‘Yang,’ ‘Gu’ and ‘Jian’ and this means ‘foster, raise’;
‘firm, stable’; ‘strong, be good at’ respectively in English.”

The Examining Attorney refused registration of all marks under Trademark Act
Section 2(d), 15 U.S.C. § 1052(d), based on a prior registration for the mark depicted
below for “cosmetics; non-medicated skin care preparation” in International Class 3
and “dietary supplements” in International Class 5:5

When the refusals were made final, Applicant filed a Request for Reconsideration
in each case and appealed to this Board. Following denials of Applicant’s Request for
Reconsideration, the appeals resumed.6
It has come to the attention of the Board that a petition to cancel Reg. No. 5450131
was filed on September 11, 2020, by an unrelated third party. The cancellation
proceeding was instituted on September 15, 2020, under Can. No. 92075205.
Registrant is allowed until October 25, 2020 to file an answer in that case.
In view of the change in status of the cited registration, proceedings are hereby
suspended pending final disposition of Can. No. 92075205. See TRADEMARK BOARD
MANUAL OF EXAMINING PROCEDURE (TBMP) § 1213 (2020) (Board may “sua sponte

consists of the stylized letters ‘ORI’ stacked above the words [sic] ‘HEALTHY’. There is a line
coming out of the letter ‘O’ in ‘ORI’.” The term “HEALTHY” is disclaimed. Color is not claimed
as a feature of the mark.
6 Each application includes goods in International Classes 5 and 30. The refusals are directed
to those goods in International Class 5 only, based on the inclusion of “dietary supplements”
in the goods of the cited registration.

suspend proceedings if the Board is aware of a pending civil action, an appeal of a
Board decision, or a Board inter partes proceeding or another appeal that may be
dispositive of or have a direct bearing on the issues in the appeal.”).
If Applicant wishes the Board to render a decision now (in which case the cited
registration must be treated as existing and valid and the pending cancellation will
have no bearing on the decision), Applicant should so advise the Board within twenty
days of this suspension order.
