Although the numbers are down this week (fewer than 900 new registrations in class 025), the curated list is BIG. And the list of canceled marks is a bit sad in comparison.
PART 1: NEW REGISTRATIONS
ABUNDANCE OF GRACE
ALOHA FUCKERS – Ah, but is this the “hello,” or “goodbye,” or “I love you” meaning of aloha? That makes all the difference.
APRON DADDY – It may come as no surprise, this mark covers aprons.
BEARCATS – I hear that the bearcat (binturong) smells like popcorn. What an intriguing choice for a sports team mascot!
BLACK COWBOYZ
CLUE – Surprisingly NOT owned by the makers of the board game Clue/Cluedo!
COMMUNITY GOODS
COOL LITTLE ONES
D.SNUTS – Because believe it or not, DEEZ NUTS is already registered.
DANCEGIRL [supplemental]
DIFFERENT LOVE
DON LIFE
EPIC VOYAGE
F THE PUMP – As an electric car owner, I say F YEAH to this!
FAM TOGETHER
FATALIST – As a part-time fatalist, I say F YEAH to this one too.
FLY KICKS – Dang it, now I have “Pumped Up Kicks” playing on the radio in my brain. You probably do too, you’re welcome.
FUCKING PATRIARCHY [supplemental]
GET UP WIN GO TO BED – Same owner as GET UP WIN, but this takes it that one important step further.
GO SLOW OR GO FAST – You gotta love a mark that really takes a stand.
GO WHERE OTHERS CAN’T
GODFLUENCE!
GRACED TO DO THIS
GRACEFUL BUNNY
HEY LADY – And now I’m hearing Jerry Lewis shout this in my head.
I’M SATAN AND I APPROVE THIS MESSAGE – The specimen misspells SATAN as SATIN, which is … a very different meaning.
IMONVACATION – A new member of the “mash the words together” club!
INTO THE DARK
IT’S ALRIGHT TO STARE – I feel like this is from someone with a “cool” appearance, like a fashion hair color; not from someone with atypical physical attributes.
IT’S GOD FOR ME – Between god and satan, it’s a religion-heavy week so far!
JUST A KID FROM SLOVENIA
LADY DUCK – This fits with the “Baby Shark” tune. You’re DOUBLE welcome.
LIVE 2 DIE
LIVE IRIE CULTURE
MEETING – Now I have the music from the “Late for Meeting” video in my head. You’re TRIPLE welcome!
MELANIN SEASON
MO HUSTLE – Right next to MO MONEY on the spreadsheet. I guess one would often lead to the other!
MORE THAN A GAME
MORNING NEWS – I could wax for hours on how this is an outdated concept from the pre-internet era.
NOM DE GUERRE
NOT A WITCH [supplemental]
PAJAMA LLAMA – I love that we can rhyme “pajama” with both “llama” and “banana.”
PERFECTLY DAMAGED
PREJUDICE IS IGNORANCE
PRO PLAYER – This is quite possibly the most generic brag I’ve ever seen.
PUBLIC ATTRACTION
PUT GOD IN YOUR HUSTLE – The perfect blend of this week’s two prevailing themes, god and hustle.
RIGHTEOUS IMPERFECTION
RODEO HIPPIE – Now that’s two words I never expected to see together.
SALTY FLOW – I believe this can be treated with a short coruse of antibiotics.
SET APART BY HUSTLE & HEART – Hustle is hustling in an attempt to beat out god for the theme of the week! Who will win?
SUFFERING SUCKS
THE HUSTLE PREVAILS – OMHG, LOL! I guess hustle wins over god this week!
THE MARRIAGE ADVENTURE
THRILL ZONE
TIT TEAS – I had to see what this was all about. Too bad they don’t have any decaf loose-leaf tea options!
TORNADO – Mostly covers ski and snowboard clothing.
TROUBLE – We used to have a tortoiseshell cat named Trouble. She lived to 17, and was a very good girl.
WINNERS WIN, LOSERS LOSE. WHICH ONE ARE YOU?
[image] Volkswagen’s VW logo – This one’s a bit different in appearance from their other registration. But you weren’t using a company logo in your designs anyway, right? RIGHT?
PART 2: CANCELLED MARKS
(Standard disclaimer: Always double-check these words and phrases before using them in your designs, to make sure there isn’t a separate registration that is still live and active. Some marks have multiple registrations!)
CREEPLIFE – Of all the “life” concepts out there, this one is probably better off dead.
FANCY TAILS
FISHBUM – I know they mean the “person who spends a lot of time” meaning, but I can’t help picturing a fish with a shapely tush.
GOTSTYLE
HARDWORK WORKHARD – This sounds like the name of a Dick Tracy character.
LET HAPPINESS HAPPEN
LIL CREEPS – Same former owner as the other creep mark at the top of this list!
LOVE LIVES ON
MAJOR INFLUENCER – If you have to advertise it, you probably aren’t.
MY Y’ALL IS AUTHENTIC
NAKED BOUND
QUEEN RULES – Heck yeah they do!
RICH NOT FAMOUS
RIDE AWAY
SWINE TIME
WORK HARD LIVE HUMBLE
If you’re the type who likes to read through the full gazette, you may have spotted a registration for MONSTER that had its class 25 goods cancelled. I’ve left it off this list, since another registration for MONSTER remains active.
Note: This is a curated list, and may not include all marks that affect you or your business.
As always, the new marks have been added to my ginormous spreadsheet; please check it out for a shockingly large list of registered trademarks!
