`Opposition No. 91272801
`
`Apple Inc.
`
`v.
`
`The Boogie Badge, Inc.
`
`
`
`By the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board:
`
`On August 21, 2023, Applicant filed the parties stipulation comprised of
`
`Applicant’s proposed amendment to application Serial No. 90050232, and Opposer’s
`
`withdrawal of the opposition without prejudice, contingent upon entry of the
`
`amendment.
`
`By the proposed amendment, applicant seeks to amend the drawing of the stylized
`
`mark as follows:
`
`From:
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`To:
`
`
`
`
`
`A proposed amendment to any application which is the subject of an inter partes
`
`proceeding is governed by Trademark Rule 2.133, and must also comply with all
`
`applicable rules and statutory provisions, including Trademark Rules 2.71-2.75. See
`
`
`
`
`
`Opposition No. 91272801
`
`
`TRADEMARK TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD MANUAL OF PROCEDURE (TBMP) § 514.01
`
`(2023).
`
`An applicant may amend the drawing of the mark only if the proposed amendment
`
`does not materially alter the mark. See Trademark Rules 2.72(a)(2) and (b)(2).
`
`However, inasmuch as Applicant seeks to amend the mark as it appears on the
`
`drawing page submitted with the application, a separate, substitute drawing page
`
`showing the revised depiction of the mark must be submitted. See Trademark Rules
`
`2.51, 2.53 and 2.54; see also TRADEMARK MANUAL OF EXAMINING PROCEDURE (TMEP)
`
`§ 807.15 (2023). In view thereof, although the Board finds that the proposed change
`
`to the mark does not constitute a material alteration, the amendment to the mark
`
`cannot be approved and entered without the referenced substitute drawing. Once a
`
`substitute drawing page is submitted, the Board will be able to consider and enter
`
`the proposed amendment to the mark.
`
`Inasmuch as the filing of the proposed amendment indicates to the Board that the
`
`parties are making efforts to settle this matter, proceedings are SUSPENDED, and
`
`Applicant is allowed until TWENTY (20) DAYS from the date of this order to submit
`
`the substitute drawing page for the amended mark, failing which the Board will
`
`resume this proceeding and reset dates, and the opposition will go forward in
`
`connection with Application No. 90050232 based on the present application.
`
`Proceedings are otherwise suspended.
