Filed Mar 07, 2015
The record shows the application for “CHRISTIAN CREED USA WE BELIEVE IN GOD…” was filed by individual YOUNG, LEPARIS D. and was abandoned on March 28 2016 because no Statement of Use or extension was filed after the Notice of Allowance, so the mark is not live or registered. The goods listed span International Classes 016 (paper goods and printed matter such as books, calendars and religious‑themed art prints), 020 (plastic and vinyl banners, flags and related hardware), 021 (glass and ceramic beverageware and mugs), 024 (textile banners, flags and wall hangings) and 025 (clothing like shirts, caps and jackets). A similar name used on items in any of those categories would raise the closest record‑based concern, while uses outside those classes are farther from the scope shown here. Because the application never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows the application moved from examiner’s amendment to a Notice of Allowance, then to abandonment when the required use filing was missed. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on March 28 2016, and no opposition, cancellation or court activity appears in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to use a comparable phrase on similar paper, banner, glassware, textile or apparel products.

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.
