JUST BECAUSESerial 78360261 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Incomex, Inc.
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Jan 30, 2004
The record shows that the application for “JUST BECAUSE” filed by Incomex, Inc., a New York corporation, is dead – it was abandoned on July 27 2005 after the applicant failed to respond to a final refusal. The only goods listed are “hosiery, underwear and sleepwear” in International Class 025, so a similar name used for clothing in that category would be the closest area of concern; uses in unrelated fields would be farther from the scope shown here. The record does not give Incomex control over every possible use of the words “just because,” only over the specific apparel items listed. The prosecution history shows a final refusal in December 2004, an amendment that did not overcome the refusal, and the ultimate abandonment notice in July 2005; there are no later maintenance actions or renewal dates in the file. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement activity is visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to market similar underwear or sleepwear under the same wording.
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.
