Serial 75897284 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused

Owner: 980906 Alberta Ltd.
Class 025 - Clothing
Class 028 -
Filed Jan 18, 2000

The record shows the mark “JUST BECAUSE YOU’RE NOT A PRO…DOESN’TMEAN YOU’RE NOT A PLAYER” is abandoned, with the last status dated July 16 2001 after an inter partes decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, and the owner listed as 980906 Alberta Ltd., a Canadian corporation. The application covered clothing – sweat shirts, golf shirts, t‑shirts, hats, jackets, sweatpants and shorts – and a hockey puck rebounder, both in class 025 and class 028. A similar name used on apparel or hockey‑related equipment would raise the closest record‑based concern because those are the exact goods the filing claimed. The record does not give the owner control over the wording in other product categories or in unrelated markets. No supplemental‑register activity appears, and the prosecution history is empty, so there is no indication of a descriptiveness refusal or amendment. The only notable event is the abandonment after the TTAB decision; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions are shown. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable brand for clothing or hockey gear, since the abandoned filing still signals that the wording has been examined for those specific goods.

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.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
