LL COOL J I N C O R P O R A T E D EST. 1986
Serial 85642979 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused

Owner: James Todd Smith
Class 014 -
Filed Jun 04, 2012

The record shows the application for “LL COOL J I N C O R P O R A T E D EST. 1986” is dead; it was abandoned on February 24 2014 because the owner, James Todd Smith, never filed a required Statement of Use after the Notice of Allowance was issued. The only goods listed are jewelry, jewelry boxes, watches and watch bands in International Class 014, so a similar name used for those types of products would be the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, especially outside the listed jewelry‑related items. The prosecution history shows the application moved through publication, allowance and then abandonment, but there is no indication of any opposition, cancellation proceeding or other enforcement activity. The most recent meaningful event is the abandonment notice on February 24 2014, and no future deadlines appear in the data. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market jewelry or related accessories under a comparable name.

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.
