`
`On July 8, 2019, Opposer filed Applicant’s proposed amendment to Application
`
`Serial No. 86616791 and Opposer’s withdrawal of the opposition without prejudice,
`
`contingent upon entry of the amendment. The written consent of each party is
`
`noted.
`
`By the proposed amendment, Applicant seeks to amend the mark from GAME
`
`OF KINGS to THE GAME OF KINGS.

`
`See Trademark Rule 2.51(b). In view thereof, entry of the amendment is
`
`DEFERRED and Applicant is allowed until AUGUST 19, 2019, to submit a
`
`substitute drawing page, failing which the amendment will be given no further
