I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT
Serial 85542925 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled

Owner: David Hughes
Class 035 - Advertising & Business
Class 038 - Communication Services
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Feb 15, 2012
Registered Sep 18, 2012

The record shows that “I WANT TO BE PRESIDENT” was registered on the Principal Register on September 18, 2012, but the registration was cancelled on April 19, 2019 because the owner, David Hughes, did not file a Section 8 declaration. The cancelled mark covered advertising and business services, communication services, and education and entertainment services in the political and democratic fields, all described as online platforms, forums, and publishing services. A similar name would raise the closest concern in those same online political and educational services. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the phrase; it only covers the specific services listed. The prosecution history shows a normal sequence of examination, publication for opposition, and registration, with no supplemental register steps. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 cancellation appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the cancelled status means the mark is no longer active, but the specific services listed still represent a potential area of concern.

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.

Your name deserves a straight answer.
