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

Trademark Tuesday – New and Cancelled Marks – 10 December 2024

Numbers are still higher than usual this week: 848 newly registered marks in class 025, with 407 cancelled marks and 288 abandoned applications.

Note: The marks in part 1 are now fully registered and active! These lists are compiled from the Trademark Official Gazette, which publishes lists of the newest registered marks every week. (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.)

Also note: this list will be a bit late next week (December 17th marks); we’re taking a little vaycay. :)

 


PART 1: NEW REGISTRATIONS (PRINCIPAL REGISTER)

BORO GIRL – This feels like a Carolina thing?
CASE STUDY
CLASSY BOUGIE GOLDEN -I still haven’t figured out if “bougie” is a brag or what.
CLASSY BOUGIE SILVER – Same owner.
DO I LOOK LIKE I WANT TO CHILL – Because I very much do want to chill!
DRINK COFFEE SHOOT DEER – I’ll pass on both activities. How about drink tea, pet cats?
FARM HIPPIE
FOLLOW GOD – I’ll pass on this one too, and stick with drinking tea and petting cats.
GOD CREATED
HAND JOB – The specimen has a … fish hook? Stuck through a hand? With dripping blood? Weird.
HIGH ALTITUDE LIFE
I AM SURROUNDED BY LIGHT AND LOVE. I AM PROTECTED. I AM GUIDED. I AM STRONG AND BRAVE. I AM SMART AND FUNNY. I AM CAPABLE. MAGIC AND MIRACLES ARE AROUND ME. THE UNIVERSE HAS MY BACK. MY SECRET VISION IS MY FUTURE SELF. – Good gravy, this is practically as long as the text on a Dr. Bronner’s soap bottle.
I LOVE BOOKS – Right there with you! I just passed 50 books read this year.
1 [VERB] YOU
IF YOU’RE NOT FIRST YOU SUCK – Right up there with the classic “second place means first loser” mentality.
IN SPEED WE TRUST
MOMMAS WHO LEAD
MY HANGOVER HOODIE– I don’t drink enough to get hangovers, but I still love a good hoodie.
NOTHING MAKES ME MORE MAD THAN PEOPLE THINKING I’M MAD – I think I’d rather have resting mad face than my own resting sad/worried face.
NUDE BEACH
OFFICIAL SPONSOR OF THE SECOND AMENDMENT – Why am I not surprised this is some dude in Arizona?
TAME THE WAVE
TWO DADS
TWO FROGS
WET WILLY – Dang, no specimen because it’s an international mark.
WORLD SERIES OF PICKLEBALL – Hard to believe a world series of any sport is the trademark of a couple of individuals.
WRECK SOME SHIT – I will once again pass, and continue with tea and cats, while wearing a hoodie.
YOU NEED THERAPY
ZAMBONI – I think this is from the ice-smoothing machine company.

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

Now this is a great example of a recognizable indicator of a brand. I’m not even going to name the shoe brand that has this sole pattern; the brand name should immediately pop into most people’s heads upon seeing it. “The mark consists of a repeating pattern of curved lines defining interlocking bone-shaped features disposed over the surface of a footwear sole, at the corners of the bone-shaped designs appears crossing lines resembling an ‘X’.” (I never would have thought as those shapes as “bone-shaped designs” though.)

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.
