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

Trademark Tuesday / New & Cancelled Marks in Class 025 / 19 Aug – 25 Aug 2025

Numbers for the week in class 025: This week, there were 856 freshly registered text trademarks; 251 fully cancelled text marks; and a measly 10 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)

97856319BAD WITH MONEY

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

You don’t often see a drawing that appears to have been made with a Sharpie and a ruler on paper. So here’s one! This M with a blob and heart is owned by a company called Positive Mentality, though I can’t find any evidence of their existence online with a quick Google. Looks like they photocopied the logo and printed it out for the specimen tags.

 


PART 2: CANCELLED MARKS

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! 🪦

99030817S.O.B. STRENGTHEN OUR BODIES
99080204TRUE EDGE

 



[sic] = A spelling, spacing, grammar, or punctuation error is part of the mark, not a typo from my butterfingers.
