GROOVE RESPONSIBLYSerial 75833974 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Brown, Jeffrey F.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Oct 28, 1999
The record shows that “GROOVE RESPONSIBLY” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on May 1 2003 after the owner, Jeffrey F. Brown, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance. The filing covered paper‑goods and printed matter (paper banners, bumper stickers, posters, calendars, trading cards and decals) in class 016 and clothing (shirts, jackets and hats) in class 025, so a later use of the same wording on similar paper or apparel items would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “groove responsibly,” only over the listed goods. The prosecution history shows the application moved through standard steps—approval for publication, an examiner’s amendment, a Notice of Allowance, and finally abandonment—without any supplemental‑register filing. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment entry on May 1 2003, and no oppositions or cancellations appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market paper or clothing under a similar name.
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.
