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

Trademark Tuesday – New and Cancelled Marks – 14 January 2025

This week in class 025, we have 858 newly registered trademarks, 457 previously registered marks were cancelled, and 144 applications were abandoned before reaching the finish line.

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: NEW REGISTRATIONS (PRINCIPAL REGISTER)

AGGIE MOM – Owner is Texas A&M University.
AIN’T NO HOBBY
BAD NEWS – Is referring to someone as “bad news” stilll a thing? Feels dated.
BARBECUE SAUCE IN MY VEINS – Change this to Coke Zero, and it’s me.
CHECKPOINT CHARLIE
CUTE & COCKY
DID YOU SWEAT TODAY – Not yet, but the day is still young.
DON’T TAKE IT PERSONAL, ITS JUST AUTISM [sic]
DOOBIE KIND – We just had one of these recently; here’s another!
DUET ME – Sounds more like a threat than an invitation.
EVERY SOUL IS WORTH ITS WEIGHT IN GOLD – Does the soul have physical weight?
FLY MAMAS
GIRL, BELIEVE
GOOD TIME GIRL
HOPEIUM – Better this than copium, I guess.
IN THE IMAGE OF GOD
JUST GOT A LITTLE SALTIER – Due to sweating today.
LAKE LOVERS CLUB
LITTLE SLEEPIES
NET MAN – I feel like this is a sports position, but I couldn’t tell you what sport.
OREGON IS ABOVE CALIFORNIA – As a Washington state native, can confirm.
PICKLE PUNK
POSITIVITY TRIBE – As long as it isn’t toxic positivity, please!
PRETTY AND SHE PRAYS
PURE GOALIE
RUNS WITH WOLVES – Here’s Aurora’s “Running with the Wolves“.
SCREW IT, LET’S DO IT.
SO GOD MADE A FARMER – I believe the owner, Paulynne Inc., is Paul Harvey’s company.
STAY CURIOUS AND KEEP EXPLORING
TEAM GROOM – Owner is Cao Hailong, who also owns things like BRIDE’S BABES and GROOM SQUAD, among many others.
TRUCKERS ONLY
VULNERABILITY IS DOPE – Good gravy, “dope” has a surprising number of meanings these days.
WE CAN DO
WHIP OUT YOUR DECK – I always hope for better specimens when it comes to wordplay marks; not just a sticker on the label of a shirt in Comic Sans.
YEARS TO LOOK THIS GOOD – An incomplete phrase is always a fun mark to try and avoid.

 


PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

Only 10 total for the week, none of which was generic or ornamental enough to concern crafters/makers.

 


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

FREE COUNTRY

 


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

The United States Playing Card Company got a number of marks this week, including the classic Bicycle card backs, the Ace of Spades art, and my personal favorite, a fancy-ass king riding a bicycle. They of course have a ton of registrations for the actual cards and packaging in 028 and 016.

On the topic of cards, is anyone else out there a Balatro player? I’m OBSESSED. I can’t stop playing this damned game.

PART 2: CANCELLED MARKS

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.
