Pardon my day-late-ness; we took a little trip and got back Tuesday evening. The numbers for the week are bigger than usual: 1280 (!) newly registered trademarks, 505 cancelled marks, and 215 abandoned applications in class 025!

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)

A-LEVEL – As an American, the whole grading system with these levels confuses me.
APEX DAD
BE KIND SAY HI – Hi!
BIG TIDDIE GANG
BOUJEE SLOB – Still unclear whether “boujee” is a good or bad thing.
CHOWDER – I’m on team New England Clam Chowder; creamy and white. Boo Manhattan red chowder!

GO THE DISTANCE
GOT ELK? – Yet another play on the decades-old “got milk” slogan.
HATER FREE – Is anyone out there really hater free? I bet we all have a hater or two.
I’M OLD, SO I’M TOLD – Some days I feel 30! Other days, I feel 70.
IN MY SKIN ERA – Of the 18 applications for “in my X era” in class 025, this is the first to get registered.

LIL BOOTIES MATTER
NATIVE SPECIES
PORNO SANTA – A filthier story in the “Hot Frosty” vein.

SMASH MOUTH – Hey now, you’re an all star who wasn’t using this anyway, right?

TAP LIFE – It’s a beer thing, not a dance thing.
UNAPOLOGETICALLY KIND – And thus, saying “hi” all the time.
UNPOPULAR OPINION

WATCH THIS

WINE LIFE – Same owner, 2 different lists of goods. (And same owner as TAP LIFE.)

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

16 new registrations total, none of which seemed important or relevant to crafters/makers.

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

DOING THINGS

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

I did a double-take at this X with a zipper in it, because it looks really familiar. Let’s compare it to the logo for the social media site formerly known as Twitter.

Left: X zipper mark owned by some random company in China.	Right: logo of X, formerly known as Twitter.

(Side note: the company formerly known as Twitter has applications in for both the text X and the stylized X logo, but nothing’s registered so far.)

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! 🪦

(One of these is included just for the LOLs. I’m sure you can guess which one it is.)

[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!
