MISSY MEYER’S SNARKY MUSINGS ABOUT TRADEMARKS, COPYRIGHT, LICENSING, AND OTHER IP MATTERS!

Trademark Tuesday / New & Cancelled Marks in Class 025 / 17 Feb – 23 Feb 2026

Numbers for the week in class 025: This week, there were 487 freshly registered text trademarks; 309 fully cancelled text marks; and 25 applications were abandoned before reaching the finish line.

Note: The marks in part 1 are now fully registered and active! This list is compiled from the USPTO Trademark Search system. Some of these are legitimate brand names! I’ve included them on this list because those brand names are also words or phrases that may be used on the goods in question by crafters and makers.
