Evidence appendix - products, sales, and dates
What did RACERVERSE identify before Mattel filed?
Public sale materials connected RACERVERSE to Mint Keys, Original Racers, and the Lucky Machines product ecosystem. Public blockchain records show payment and delivery beginning Feb. 16, 2022 UTC.
Lucky Machines' position: this combined mark-product-sale record supports trademark use, not merely use of RACERVERSE as the name of a fictional setting. Priority and other merits remain for the pending proceeding.
The central trademark question
What did RACERVERSE identify to customers?
The evidence is strongest where public branding, an identified product, payment, delivery, and redemption operate as one chain.
Chronology
Context, commercial activity, and later filings are different facts.
An operating website supplies context. Completed paid transactions and delivery are the more important commercial evidence.

Documented fact
Mattel moves to strike its own motion to compel

Documented fact
Trial dates reset
The Board entered docket entry 33, TRIAL DATES RESET, and granted the parties' consent motions to extend the expert disclosure deadline and subsequent dates. Expert disclosures are due October 13, 2026; discovery closes November 12, 2026; plaintiff's pretrial disclosures are due December 27, 2026; defendant's pretrial disclosures are due February 10, 2027; defendant's trial period ends February 25, 2027; plaintiff's rebuttal period ends April 26, 2027; and briefing runs through August 24, 2027. This procedural order does not decide the merits. Entry 32 remains in the chronology: Mattel withdrew its own earlier motion to compel, and the Board gave that filing and the response no further consideration.

The record is public. The result is pending.
The official TTAB docket lists Opposition No. 91290947 as pending. No final merits decision has issued. On September 30, 2026, Mattel moved to amend its answer and add new defenses (docket entry 34). Lucky Machines disputes them. The Board has not ruled. On September 17, 2026, the Board entered docket entry 33, TRIAL DATES RESET. The Board granted the parties' consent motions to extend the expert disclosure deadline and subsequent dates. Expert disclosures are due October 13, 2026; discovery closes November 12, 2026; plaintiff's pretrial disclosures are due December 27, 2026; defendant's pretrial disclosures are due February 10, 2027; defendant's trial period ends February 25, 2027; plaintiff's rebuttal period ends April 26, 2027; and briefing runs through August 24, 2027. This is a procedural schedule order, not a merits ruling. The September 7 entry 32 remains part of the chronology: it was labeled Mattel's motion to strike its own earlier motion to compel; Mattel withdrew its own earlier motion to compel, and the Board gave the filing no further consideration.
