The record shows that “SPORTY KIDZ” is a dead application that was abandoned on Jan 14 2008 because the applicant failed to respond to an Office action; the owner listed is THE BRAINY BABY COMPANY, LLC, a Georgia limited‑liability company. The filing covered educational videotapes, audio and video media (Class 009); calendars, children’s books, craft supplies and stationery (Class 016); uniforms for a range of sports (Class 025); and a broad assortment of children’s games, toys, athletic equipment and protective gear (Class 028). A similar name would raise the closest concern for products in those categories, especially educational media, children’s books and sports‑related apparel or equipment. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “sporty” or “kidz” outside those listed goods. Because the application was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the abandonment notice and earlier office actions, without indicating any successful registration. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice mailed on Jan 14 2008, and no further maintenance or renewal dates appear. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so there is no visible enforcement signal. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a similar name for educational or children’s sports products, but the risk is lower for unrelated goods.
