This week begins an experiment: instead of going through the Trademark Official Gazette the week these come out, I’m waiting until they show up in the search system the following week so I can do a refined search and download a CSV file of the new marks. I’m already thinking this will be MUCH easier to create each week’s list.

Numbers for the week: February 4 had 598 newly registered trademarks in class 025, as well as 268 cancelled marks and 228 abandoned applications.

Note: The marks in part 1 are now fully registered and active! These lists are 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.

PART 1: NEW REGISTRATIONS (PRINCIPAL REGISTER)

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

PART 1-C: OLDER REGISTERED MARKS I DISCOVERED THIS WEEK

None!

PART 1-D: INTERESTING ILLUSTRATED MARK(S) OF THE WEEK

This week, I want to beef on a couple of stylized text marks. If you’re going to replace a letter with a graphic, or stylize your letters in a funky way, please, for the love of all that’s good, make sure it reads as the correct letter(s)!

This text mark replaces a letter with a pair of underpants. I’ll bet that most of you think this mark is CYFT, but in fact, it’s CUFT! (They could have also stylized the C and F in a way that they created hips in the negative space! The F is almost there, but it feels accidental.)	Upon first glance, this mark with a mishmash of letters seems to contain a very large uppercase I; at least that’s the first thing I noticed. I also see an uppercase P. But joke’s on me; the mark is KRSY!  (Take away the backward legs of the K, and this could be “I SPY” very easily.)

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!)

PART 3: ABANDONED APPLICATIONS! 🎉

Here are the applications that were abandoned this week in class 025, with mark drawing code 4. The most likely cause was the applicant not submitting corrected, updated, or informative material by the USPTO’s deadline. Ding, dong, these witches are dead! 🪦

[sic] = A spelling, spacing, grammar, or punctuation error is part of the mark, not a typo from my butterfingers.
[removed from spreadsheet] = The cancelled item had been on my spreadsheet of marks, and has now been removed.

Note: This is a curated list, and may not include all marks that affect you or your business. All opinions expressed in the snark are my own. All snark is intended for entertainment purposes.

As always, the new marks have been added to my ginormous spreadsheet; please check it out for a shockingly large list of registered trademarks!
