SMILINGSerial 74503168 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Memoire Corporation
Class 014 -
Filed Mar 17, 1994
The record shows that the mark SMILING is abandoned, not live or registered, and was owned by Memoire Corporation, a Delaware corporation, after an intent‑to‑use filing on March 17, 1994; the last substantive event was the abandonment on November 29, 1996 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance. The only listed goods are “jewelry” in International Class 014, so a similar name used for jewelry would create the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Memoire Corporation control over every use of the word “SMILING” in any context. The prosecution history shows the application moved through publication, a Notice of Allowance, and then an abandonment for lack of use, but it never reached registration. No oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history, so there are no visible enforcement signals. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand jewelry with the same name, but the risk is limited to that specific product class.
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.
