JUST BECAUSESerial 74315990 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: KENT, MICHAEL JOHN
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Sep 21, 1992
Registered Apr 26, 1994
The record shows the mark JUST BECAUSE was registered on the Principal Register to Michael John Kent, an individual, for clothing—specifically boots, shoes and slippers—under class 025, but the registration was cancelled on May 9 2001 because the owner failed to file a required Section 8 declaration, so the mark is now dead. The goods listed are limited to footwear, so a similar name used for apparel, shoes or related items would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories would be farther from this scope. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “just because.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply tracks the normal allowance and registration steps before the later cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable name for footwear or related clothing.
Full event history, owner details, and verdict inside.
The way I'd use it, honestly, is as the thing you attach when a bank, a marketplace, or a co-founder asks "are we clear on the name". It answers in one page.
