`
`EXAMINER’S AMENDMENT
`
`ISSUE/MAILING DATE: 3/5/2019
`
`DATABASE SEARCH: The trademark examining attorney has searched the USPTO’s database of registered and pending marks and has
`found no conflicting marks that would bar registration under Trademark Act Section 2(d). TMEP §704.02; see 15 U.S.C. §1052(d).
`
`APPLICATION HAS BEEN AMENDED: In accordance with the authorization granted by Mary Kevlin on February 20, 2019, the trademark
`examining attorney has amended the application as indicated below. Please advise the undersigned immediately of any objections. Otherwise,
`no response is necessary. TMEP §707. Any amendments to the identification of goods and/or services may clarify or limit the goods and/or
`services, but may not add to or broaden the scope of the goods and/or services. 37 C.F.R. §2.71(a); see TMEP §§1402.06 et seq.
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`
`The identification of goods is amended to read as follows: “Toys and sporting goods, namely, stuffed toys; plush toys; soft sculpture foam toys;
`toy foam novelty items, namely, foam fingers; puppets; balloons; checker sets; chess sets; dominoes; board games; card games; playing cards;
`dice games; trivia games played with cards and game components; parlor games; dart boards and dart board accessories, namely, darts, dart
`shafts and dart flights; cornhole game sets; cornhole game boards; cornhole bags; toy cars; toy trucks; toy trains; toy vehicles; toy mobiles;
`puzzles; yo-yo's; toy banks; toy figures; dolls and doll accessories; bobbing head dolls; decorative wind socks; mini toy batting helmet replicas;
`toy necklaces; baseballs; holders specially adapted for holding baseballs; autographed baseballs; miniature toy baseballs; playground balls;
`beach balls; golf balls; golf club head covers; golf club bags; golf putters; golf club putter grips; golf tees; golf ball markers; golf divot repair
`tools; golf gloves; billiard accessories, namely, cues, billiard balls and cue cases; baseball bases; baseball bats; miniature baseball bats; batting
`gloves; pet toys; inflatable toys; snow sleds for recreational use; snow globes; costume masks; Christmas tree ornaments and decorations;
`Christmas tree skirts; Christmas stockings; flying disks; fidget spinners; action figures; balls for games; gaming equipment, namely, poker chips;
`game tables; bowling balls; bowling pins; bowling bags; fishing rods and reels; and lottery tickets.” See TMEP §§1402.01, 1402.01(e).
`
`The following claim of acquired distinctiveness under Trademark Act Section 2(f) is added to the record:
`
`The word “MIAMI” in the mark has become distinctive of the goods and/or services as evidenced by the ownership of active U.S.
`Registration No(s). 4400760 on the Principal Register for the same mark for sufficiently similar goods and/or services.
`
`TMEP §1212.04(e); see 15 U.S.C. §1052(f); 37 C.F.R. §2.41(a)(1).

`WARNING
`
`PRIVATE COMPANY SOLICITATIONS REGARDING YOUR APPLICATION: Private companies not associated with the USPTO are
`using information provided in trademark applications to mail or e-mail trademark-related solicitations. These companies often use names that
`closely resemble the USPTO and their solicitations may look like an official government document. Many solicitations require that you pay
`
`“fees.”
`
`Please carefully review all correspondence you receive regarding this application to make sure that you are responding to an official document
`from the USPTO rather than a private company solicitation. All official USPTO correspondence will be mailed only from the “United States
`Patent and Trademark Office” in Alexandria, VA; or sent by e-mail from the domain “@uspto.gov.” For more information on how to handle
`private company solicitations, see http://www.uspto.gov/trademarks/solicitation_warnings.jsp.
