Numbers for the week in class 025: This week, there were only 164 freshly registered text trademarks (I love it when that number is low!); 296 fully cancelled text marks; and 230 applications were abandoned before reaching 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: NEW REGISTRATIONS (PRINCIPAL REGISTER)

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

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

A couple of warning-based items this week: common shapes and illustrations can be registered as trademarks! For example, this smiley face with a wobbly mouth is freshly registered this week, as is this cross made of round-ended rectangles. Both are on the Principal register. The face is NOT owned by Harvey Ball or the Smiley people; it’s owned by some random company in China. The cross is owned by an individual in Texas whose specimens are totes ornamental.

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!
