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

Trademark Tuesday / New & Cancelled Marks in Class 025 / 02 Sept – 08 Sept 2025

Numbers for the week in class 025: This week, there were 619 freshly registered text trademarks; 248 fully cancelled text marks; and 59 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.

98917818PAPA HEROThis logo is seriously awful. The spacing! The random rounded bits! The mix of fonts!
98103389PIKE PLACE FISHThey already owned PIKE PLACE FISH MARKET, so this isn’t a surprising variant.

PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)

98878646DEPARTMENT OF INVISIBLE LABORSo rare that someone gets the “hey, your specimens are just ornamental” message and they move to the Supplemental Register! Usually they just make fake hang tags in a new specimen.
99030605MAKE STRIP CLUBS GREAT AGAINWere they ever really that great?
98638521MOTHER GOLFER

 


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

Just a couple to be horrified by this week: an incredibly plain lighting bolt and the center of a compass rose.  Of course, you can use illustrated elements like these in larger designs; I can’t picture any of you using similar graphics all on their own without anything else around them.

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.
