KEEP IT REAL WHEN NOBODY IS LOOKING
Serial 77258698 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused

Owner: Hughley, Jay W.
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Aug 18, 2007

The record shows that “KEEP IT REAL WHEN NOBODY IS LOOKING” is an abandoned application filed by individual Jay W. Hughley on August 18, 2007, and it was officially abandoned on February 12, 2010 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; the latest meaningful event in the file is that abandonment notice. The only goods listed are short‑sleeved or long‑sleeved t‑shirts in International Class 025, so a similar phrase used on clothing would be the closest area of concern, while uses on unrelated products would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the wording, and because the application never reached registration it does not create a registered right on any register. The prosecution history shows a series of non‑final actions, petitions to revive and a final abandonment, but no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear, so the supplied history shows no enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand t‑shirts with a comparable phrase.

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.
