IN THE GROOVESerial 76655533 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: GLICKEN, CRAIG
Class 003 - Cosmetics & Cleaning
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Feb 23, 2006
The record shows the application for “IN THE GROOVE” is dead – it was abandoned on May 11 2009 because the applicant never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance, and the history contains no later activity. The owner listed is Craig Glicken, an individual. The filing covered two classes: Class 3 cosmetics and cleaning products such as skin moisturizers, eye creams, shampoos and related cosmetic preparations, and Class 25 clothing and fashion accessories including shirts, jackets, swimsuits, dresses, hats and similar apparel. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for cosmetics or apparel, since those are the specific goods the record enumerates; it does not automatically extend to unrelated categories. The prosecution history shows the mark progressed to a Notice of Allowance in October 2007, received two extensions for filing a Statement of Use, and then was abandoned when no use statement was filed. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on May 11 2009, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use “In the Groove” for cosmetics or clothing, because the abandoned filing still signals a prior claim in those areas.

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.
