Snark is light this week; I got tied up in making some updates to the spreadsheet, including learning some conditional formatting code. Numbers for the week: in class 025, there were 775 new trademarks registered, 375 previously registered trademarks were cancelled, and 214 applications were abandoned before reaching the finish line, representing approximately $65,000 in wasted fees.

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)

ADORABLE ABOMINATION – Mainly registered for baby clothes, of course.
AVERAGE IS A CHOICE – And it’s a perfectly cromulent choice.
BABES AND BROS FOR JESUS
BAD ATTITUDES – Also a choice! Though not necessarily a great one.
BADDEST
BLACK LIVES SHOULD MATTER TO BLACK PEOPLE TOO
CRAZYSEXYCOOL – Owner is “TLC II LLC”.
CROP CIRCLES
DO YOUR OWN THING
DON’T BE SORRY, JUST DON’T DO IT – Feels like the opposite of “ask forgiveness, not permission.”
DON’T GO CHASING WATERFALLS – Also owned by TLC II.
DOUBLE DARE – Looks like nostalgia merch for Millennials.
FAITH. – Of course, you can still use the word “faith” in a sentence.
FOREVER ANGEL
GOOD GUYS FINISH FIRST
HEADBAND FOR SLEEPING – Goods: underarm clothing shields, not headbands.
HOTHANDS – Goods: glove liners and glove heating packets.
LAGER TIME – Pass, but let me know when it’s cider time.
MAKE HIM GREAT AGAIN – Unclear from the specimens who we’re referring to.
NO SCRUBS – Another TLC II. I offer you this lovely cover by Anakelly.
ORANGE DADDY – Yes, this is an American politics thing.
POWER TRIP
SANDTRAP – Kind of amazed we don’t have any terrible golf puns this week!
SAVED NOT SOFT
TEXT ME WHEN YOU GET HOME – Owned by Lonely Ghost Club, along with some other common phrases.
THEY ARE MY KIDS
THIS SONG REMINDS ME OF YOU – Also Lonely Ghost Club.
TLC – At this point, you know who the owner of this one is.
UNITED WE ARE UNSTOPPABLE – Goes right above UNITED WE CAN’T LOSE on the spreadsheet. No idea is unique anymore.
WATERFALLS – Don’t go chasing them!
WELCOME TO THE COAST
YOU OBVIOUSLY CAME HERE TO WASTE MY TIME – Merch for “Support Court with Judge Vonda B.”, I guess?

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.

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!
