JUST BECAUSESerial 78478339 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: dangler, paul j.
Class 014 -
Filed Sep 03, 2004
Registered Jul 04, 2006
The record shows that “JUST BECAUSE” is no longer active – it was cancelled on Feb 8 2013 because the registrant did not file a required Section 8 declaration, and the owner listed is Paul J. Dangler, an individual. The registration covered only jewelry in International Class 014, with the first use dated Feb 2 2005; therefore, a similar name used for jewelry or related accessories would present the closest record‑based concern, while uses in unrelated fields fall farther from the scope shown. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the words “JUST BECAUSE.” This was a Principal Register registration, not a Supplemental Register filing, and the prosecution history simply moves from filing through allowance to registration and finally cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations beyond the Section 8 event, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a jewelry brand with the same wording, but the risk is lower for dissimilar goods.
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.
