`
`
`
`By the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board:
`
`In response to the Board’s orders of January 17, 2017 and January 31, 2017,
`
`Opposer filed, on February 2, 2017, a stipulated motion to amend application Serial
`
`No. 86838605, and withdrawal without prejudice of the opposition contingent upon
`
`entry of the amendment.
`
`Appearance of Pro Se Applicants
`
`The submission filed by Opposer on February 2, 2017 was signed by Applicants
`
`Diamond Munoz and Eric Munoz. The Board construes this execution of the
`
`submission as indicating that Applicants wish to represent themselves in this
`
`proceeding. Accordingly, Diamond Munoz and Eric Munoz are recognized as
`
`appearing on their own behalf pro se in this proceeding in accord with Trademark
`
`Rule 11.14(e).

`
`
`Amended Filing Basis
`
`As previously set forth in the Board’s order of January 17, 2017, Applicants move
`
`to amend the filing basis of the application from a use-based application under
`
`Trademark Act Section 1(a), to an intent-to-use basis under Trademark Act Section
`
`1(b). Applicants’ declaration in support of their motion to amend the filing basis
`
`complies with Trademark Rules 2.20 and 2.34(a)(2). Accordingly, Applicants’
`
`amendment to the filing basis is approved.
`
`A change in the filing basis of an application after publication requires
`
`republication of the application. Accordingly, upon the submission of an appropriate
`
`response to this order, as allowed below, which addresses the deficiency noted herein,
`
`and termination of this proceeding, the application will be forwarded to republication
`
`for opposition purposes. See Trademark Rule 2.35(b)(2).
`
`Amended Drawing
`
`The stipulated motion was previously filed on January 11, 2017. With the
`
`stipulated motion now under consideration, the parties submitted a clearer drawing
`
`of the mark on the substitute drawing page. By the proposed amendment, Applicants
`
`seek to amend the drawing of the mark:

`
`
`
`
`
`
`The Board finds that the amendment does not materially alter the mark. See
`
`Trademark Rule 2.72(b). Moreover, the Board notes that Opposer consents to the
`
`amendment. In view of these findings, the motion is granted. The amendment is
`
`approved and entered.
`
`The contingency in Opposer’s withdrawal having now been met, the opposition is
`
`dismissed without prejudice.
