Your September 3, 2009 response has been considered. However, for the reasons explained below, the
combined Section 8 and 15 declaration remains unacceptable.
In this response, you assert that the first assignment of record in the USPTO Assignment Services
Branch, which transferred the registration from Miracle Exclusives, Inc., the original registrant, to Miracle
Products, LLC, is fraudulent. However, the USPTO has no evidence and you have provided no evidence
to support this assertion.
Furthermore, a search of the online records of the NYS Department of State, Division of
Corporations (website found at http://www.dos.state.ny.us/about/recordslist.htm) discloses that Elliott
Gordon, the individual who signed the October 20, 2005 assignment agreement of record as "president" of
Miracle Exclusives, Inc., is also listed as "chairman" or "chief executive officer" of Miracle Exclusives,
Inc. in the NY database. Therefore, based on the records of the the state of New York and the assignment
agreement of record with the USPTO, it appears Mr. Gordon was legally authorized to sign the assignment
agreement on behalf of Miracle Exclusives, Inc. transferring ownership of the registration.
Even assuming, arguendo, that additional explanatory evidence was made available to show that the first
assignment was indeed fraudulent, it is noted that the second assignment of record with the USPTO,
purports to transfer ownership of the registration to Miracle Specialty Products, Inc.(effective December
20, 2007, per an assignment agreement, also of record). However, the Section 8 and 15 was filed in the
name of Miracle Exclusives, Inc. Therefore, the Section 8/15 was not filed in the name of the current
owner upon consideration of either "assignment" transaction."
