Serial 85751426 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: KELLY J. GRUDT
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed
The record shows that the application for the mark “-GUNPOWDER & LEAD-” was abandoned and is now dead; the owner listed is Kelly J. Grudt, an individual. The mark was filed on an intent‑to‑use basis and was assigned serial number 85751426, but the application was void because it did not meet minimum filing date requirements. The goods listed are clothing such as t‑shirts, shirts, jackets, and headwear, all under class 025. A similar name would raise the closest concern for apparel and related headwear, especially if used on the same types of garments. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording, only over the specific goods listed. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The last event was the voiding of the application on October 17, 2012. If you’re thinking of using a similar name for clothing, this record suggests a meaningful risk of conflict in that specific product area.

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.
