The record shows the application for “SHARK IS BLUE IN COLOR” is dead, meaning it never became a live registration; the USPTO marked it void on Oct 31 2013 because the filing date was insufficient, and the owner listed is Shark Eyes, Inc., a California corporation. The only goods shown are eyewear—specifically sunglasses, eyeglasses, ophthalmic frames and their cases—filed in International Class 009, so a similar name used for anything else would be farther from this particular scope, while a name used on sunglasses or related frames would be the closest area of concern. Because the mark never entered the register, the record does not give Shark Eyes, Inc. control over every use of the wording in any market. The prosecution history simply notes the application’s entry and assignment to an examiner before the refusal; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The latest meaningful event is the refusal and void status on Oct 31 2013, and the supplied history shows no enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan to brand sunglasses with a similar phrase.

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.
