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

Trademark Tuesday – New and Cancelled Marks in class 025 – 04 March 2025

This week in class 025, we have 581 newly registered plain text trademarks. To offset them, 269 previously registered text marks were cancelled, and a whopping 294 applications were abandoned before they reached the finish line!

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

Here are a pair of illustrated marks that demonstrate that concepts that are already registered can be modified into new trademarks. The Down Syndrome Group of the Ozarks owns the mark on the left, a yellow smiley face that is upside-down. Meanwhile, an individual in Pennsylvania has registered this I ❤ AI design, despite the famous I ❤ NY design being owned in several classes by the state of New York. (Is there anyone out there who really hearts AI? Ugggghhhhh.)

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!)
