MEANSerial 78164638 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Williams, Richard Allen
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Sep 16, 2002
The record shows that the mark MEAN was filed by Richard Allen Williams as an individual on September 16, 2002, but it was abandoned on September 16, 2003 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and the file is now dead. The only listed goods are shirts, jackets, pants and shoes in International Class 025, so a similar name used for clothing would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated categories fall farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word “MEAN.” No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply notes a non‑final action and the later abandonment. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a clothing brand with a comparable 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.
