THE BEAUTY OF FUNCTIONSerial 77846157 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Black Ink, Inc.
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Oct 11, 2009
The record shows that “THE BEAUTY OF FUNCTION” is a dead mark that was abandoned by Black Ink, Inc., a corporation organized in Massachusetts, because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action. The mark was filed on October 11, 2009 and abandoned on August 10, 2010. It was registered on the Principal Register for class 016, covering paper goods and printed matter such as binder clips, letter clips, elastic bands for offices, and paper clips. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, but the record still indicates that the wording was once protected for those specific goods. Because the mark was on the Principal Register, the prosecution history shows a straightforward refusal and abandonment sequence, not a Supplemental Register transfer. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using the phrase for paper‑clip or office‑clip products, and the record suggests that the owner has not actively enforced the mark since its abandonment.

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.
