- A more specific purpose of the invention is to provide manufacture which will make it possible to set and fix the ornamental motif precisely at a desired spot and to be re-used and repositioned at another favorable position on the toy doll. It is of great importance to achieve precise setting and fixing; otherwise it may produce no desirable motif. Another purpose is to provide immediate satisfactory results to the user, which will facilitate matching color of dress, make-up, or other accessories already on the toy doll. Briefly, the above is attained by means of a two-sided transparent vinyl indices which carries a desired design on a backed adhesive and a support system containing the indices that has been proved the simplest yet the best mode of carrying out the invention. In view of this factor and the fact that only common and inexpensive materials, and simple manufacturing procedure are required, the invention has a high commercial value.
- U.S. Pat. No. 3,598,685A—Means for Ornamenting Fingernails and Toenails. Fingernails and toenails can be ornamented in precise position with tiny floral or other designs to match dress color, make-up or nail lacquer.

However, '685 patent is primarily used for only fingernails and toenails while “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes” looks to expand to the entire doll and without limitations. Not only can “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes.” be used in similar ways as the '685 patent, your invention looks to create similar ventures in accessories such as jewelry, shoes, or body art. The addition of “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes.” to include other accessories and decorations is an unanticipated aspect is novel.

However, the '937 patent does not disclose vinyl type paper with designs printed upon the paper to create the look of shoes and accessories. With the addition of designs to include shoes and accessories, “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes “is not anticipated by '937 patent.

A foosball table accessory comprises at least one themed foosball man outfit which is attachable to and removable from a foosball man without removing the foosball man from an associated rod, wherein the foosball man outfit comprises one of headgear selectively attachable to and removable from a head portion of the foosball man, torso gear selectively attachable to and removable from a torso portion of the foosball man, and combinations thereof. A visually striking presentation may be provided when the foosball man outfits are provided for one whole team of foosball men and wherein the opposing team has suitably selected opposing outfits. However, the '653 patent primarily deals with outfits that are attachable through different methods, such as a peg that fits precisely into a hole. In addition, the outfits that are exhibited in the '653 patent represent entire casings of the outfit. “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes” is different because of the method of attachment is through an adhesive rather than through a mechanical process. Furthermore, “Means for Accessorizing, and Ornamenting Toy Dolls in Attractive Themes” gives more discretion in outfitting through individual designs rather than an entirely preassembled outfit.
