GROUNDEDSerial 85047326 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Dirk Lindley
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed May 25, 2010
The record shows that the mark “GROUNDED” is no longer active; it was abandoned after a decision by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board. The owner listed is Dirk Lindley, an individual. The mark was registered on the Principal Register for class 025, covering athletic apparel such as shirts, pants, jackets, footwear, hats and caps, and athletic uniforms. A similar name used in those same categories would raise the closest record‑based concern. The abandonment means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights, but the record does not give anyone free use of the wording in any context. No enforcement activity—such as oppositions or cancellations—appears in the supplied history. The last significant event was the abandonment on October 2, 2012. For someone thinking of a similar name, the main risk is that the abandoned mark still signals prior use in athletic apparel, so care is advised if the new use is in that same field.

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.
