There are some VERY tasty cancellations this week; looks like TeeStars let a whole bunch of phrases expire. Overall in class 025 we had 628 newly registered marks, 447 cancelled marks, and 211 applications were abandoned before they saw the light of day.

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.)

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

Only 7 total this week, none of which felt meaningful for crafters and makers.

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

CIGARETTE

PART 1-D: A SPECIMEN I JUST HAD TO SHOW YOU ALL

The mark is: THE HIGHEST QUALITY, MOST INTELLECTUAL, CARING PERSON WHO EXISTS. THE EPITOME OF WHAT MARRYING COMMUNITY, LEADERSHIP, HUMILITY, AND PASSION FOR ADVANCEMENT LOOKS LIKE. It went through opposition without a specimen or statement of use. They got extensions for over 2 years. Then, finally, they uploaded this single specimen.  It’s hard to tell because the image is small and blurry, but this is an obvious Photoshop job.

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! 🪦

Per the specimen, C.U.N.T. stands for “COMMUNITY. UNITY. NAMASTE TOLERANCE” (and yes, they’re only using those two periods, nothing after namaste or tolerance).

[sic] = The mark contains a spelling, spacing, grammar, or punctuation error which does not appear to be wordplay. The error is left as-is.
[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!
