It’s a pretty average week for newly registered trademarks in class 025 (724 of them), but it was a MASSIVE week for cancellations (636 of them). And a lovely hearty 183 abandoned applications on top, like the cherry on a sundae!

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)

AND WE BACK
BAMA LIFE – I feel like in Washington state, we never had a big “state pride” thing. (Though it was always frustrating when people would drop the “DC” from Washington DC, and just call it Washington.)
BY ANY MEANS NECESSARY
CHTHONIC – Adjective: relating to or inhabiting the underworld.
COMMERCIAL TRUCK GUY
CONCEAL – Don’t feel, don’t let them know.
DANCE AMERICA
ENCHANTÉ
EVERYBODYS GOT ONE – Opinions? Assholes? Missing apostrophes?
FLINT LIFE – Two X LIFE marks before we’re even out of letter F? Impressive!
FLOWY SUMMER – Feels like how a thousand dresses would be described.
FRIENDS IN LOW PLACES – Owned by a bar of this name, not by Garth Brooks.
GRINDLIFE – Ugh, should I put this in the X LIFE section, or in the hustle/grind section? It’s combining two things that are so grossly overused!
HANG 10
HAPPY ALL THE DAYS
HAVE A FIELD DAY – Did all elementary schools have a Field Day, where you got to just go outside and do, like, track and field games all day?
HOCKEY BEAST
HOLIDAY DREAMS
HUNT LOCAL – I live in a city. My closest hunting is for The Most Dangerous Game. (Or maybe pigeons.)
I DON’T DO EASY
I MAKE MY OWN FRIENDS – Is this a motherhood thing? Or are they making, like, golems out of clay?
IT’S STUPID TIME
JESUS OR DEATH – Reminds me of the classic question, “Cake or death?” I’d rather have cake than either death or Jesus.
JESUS WERE WE WORTH IT? – Were we worth baking that cake for?
JUST KEEP TRYING
LIFETIME TO WASTE
LIVE HONEY
LOVE IS WASTING TIME TOGETHER – I kind of dig this. Marriage should be the same.
MAKE COMMIES AFRAID AGAIN
MAN IN BLACK – Owned by Johnny Cash’s estate.
MASH UP
MISTRESS – Not sure folks would want to wear this on the front of a t-shirt.
NO SALT JUST GREAT LIFE – The longest X LIFE item so far.
OFFICIAL PICKLEBALL
PRIDE GIRL
SANDBAR LIFE – Crikey, what is this, the 5th X LIFE mark of the week? It’s just so seriously overdone.
SIMPLY BETTER
START. – Before you ask: yes, you can still use the word START in a phrase, as long as you aren’t making reference to this brand/company!
TACO HEART – If you are what you eat, then yeah, I probably have one. Taco heart, pickle kidney, spaghetti Bolognese spleen.
THE FARM TEAM
TIPSY REDNECK – The internet seems torn on whether “redneck” is a derogatory term, or a bit of heritage pride.
TRAILBORN
U KNO I GOTCHU

PART 1-D: THE WEIRDEST MARK OF THE WEEK FROM AN OVERSEAS APPLICANT

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] = 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!
