Numbers for the week in class 025: This week, there were 694 freshly registered text trademarks, of which 447 (64%) are owned by individuals or companies in China; only 4 fully cancelled text marks; and 210 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)
| 98543704 | ASKING FOR A FRIEND | Does anyone ever actually mean this? Or is it always said as a joke? |
| 98941194 | BECAUSE IT’S THERE | Supposedly this was George Mallory’s response when asked why he wanted to climb Mt. Everest. |
| 98609888 | CHILLHOP MUSIC | It’s a lofi hip-hop record label. I’m more of a trip-hop fan myself. (“MUSIC” is disclaimed in several classes.) |
| 98630248 | COUNTRY MUSIC SUCKS | I mean … a LOT of music sucks these days. But I’m not particularly fond of most country music. |
| 98324496 | DISCIPLINE IS NOT A SIN | Unclear if they mean personal self-control (not a sin), or punishing someone else (possibly a sin). |
| 98924305 | DONT GET DEAD | Always a wise piece of advice! |
| 98803726 | ETERNAL HOUSE OF GOD | Garments with tarot cards on them don’t feel particularly “house of god” to me. |
| 98388463 | FATED MATES | One of my least favorite tropes in romantasy, especially when it’s a 500 year old fae dude and an 18 year old woman. |
| 98456397 | GREATNESS STANDS ALONE | Just like the cheese. |
| 98954536 | I HAVE PURPOSE | I just don’t understand “clothing brands” where they have, like, only four items for sale. (And look at those big squares; these are SO Photoshopped!) |
| 98911757 | IMMIGRANTS MAKE US GREAT | Immigrants. We get the job done! 🎶 |
| 98044462 | LIKE A FARMER | Because remember: there are never enough podcasts out there. |
| 97379847 | REPOPULATE MARS | Some sort of music thing (here’s their SoundCloud), unsure if it’s a collective or a record label. |
| 98930243 | RESPECT MATTERS | The brand is actually “figtee“. Some real good nonsensical phrases on shirts here, like “dream your freedom song faith is good”. |
| 97634290 | SHE CAN DO I.T. | She can ask, “Have you tried turning it off and back on again?” |
| 98903045 | SMILE HARD | If anyone ever tells me to smile, I will give them SUCH A HARD SMILE. |
| 98358985 | SORTED. | A company out of Illinois making simple basics. But nearly $50 for a plain cotton t-shirt feels excessive. |
| 98030576 | SUNSHINE LOOKS GREAT ON YOU | It’s a sunscreen company slogan, which feels … kind of wrong? Like, its whole purpose is to keep sunshine off me? |
| 98127321 | THE JEW CREW | Goods include “kippahs (yarmulkes).” I grew up only knowing them as yarmulkes. Which word do you use? |
| 98786210 | TICKLE MY PICKLE | They’re “Miami’s premier pickleball destination.” Have I yet mentioned that I’ve hated the way pickleball is scored for, like, 50 years? |
| 97711160 | UNAPOLOGETIC FAITH | Because remember: there are never enough podcasts out there. |
| 98773388 | WANDERLUSTY WOMAN | Do we attach “lust” to any other verb to make it into a noun like this? |
| 98955141 | YOU ARE A STORY WORTH LOVING | Always love it when they use the ® symbol in their specimens. Remember, using ® with an unregistered trademark can be a civil or criminal offense! |
PART 1-B: NEW REGISTRATIONS (SUPPLEMENTAL REGISTER)
| 98491535 | GENUINE. | The USPTO’s main complaint: this is totally just descriptive. Their secondary complaint: this butts up against GENUINE GEAR, which was also supplemental for being descriptive. |
| 90044609 | HEALTHCARE WORKERS ROCK! | True! |
| 98745998 | THE MOST COMFORTABLE JEANS EVER | I firmly believe there is no such thing as “comfortable jeans.” |
| 98746028 | THE SOFTEST JEANS EVER | Unsurprising that this and the one above, same owner, were both smacked down for being merely descriptive. |
| 99021290 | VET MOMS | Veterinarian moms, not veteran moms. |
PART 1-C: INTERESTING ILLUSTRATED MARK(S) OF THE WEEK
I have a soft spot for sports team logos. This week we had a trifecta of fascinating stuff: an Owl that looks like he’s performing a magic spell on us, a Banyan tree that never misses arm day, and a Bison wearing a top hat while playing hockey. (The stovepipe-style top hat may be a nod to Abraham Lincoln, since it’s a team out of Illinois.)

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!)
| 87538744 | LUCKY AND LOVED |
| 87520586 | SHE HOOPS |
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.

As always, the new marks have been added to my ginormous spreadsheet; please check it out for a shockingly large list of registered trademarks!
