Numbers for the week in class 025: there were 519 newly registered text marks, 255 previously-registered text marks were cancelled, and 148 applications were abandoned before completion!

Note: The marks in part 1 are now fully registered and active! This list is compiled from the USPTO Trademark Search system. 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)

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

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

I don’t know how I’ll ever top Huh Kyung-young from last week.

This week, let’s look at stylized text marks. We have the word NUMBER by itself, but it’s a type 5 mark: text in a stylized form. That means their trademark is the word NUMBER, but only in this specific sans-serif font. (I can’t even identify the font, though, because it looks like a thousand other fonts). On the flip side, IMAGINE is also a type 5 mark, and may actually be hand-written (which feels rare for logos; most are just made with fonts).

For both of these marks, you can absolutely use the word by itself, as long as you aren’t using a font or style that’s confusingly similar!  The registration only covers the text in this specific stylized format.

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!
