The record shows the application for “CHRISTIAN CREED U.S.A.…” is dead – it was abandoned on March 21 2016 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance, and the USPTO issued an abandonment notice that day. The owner listed is Young, Leparis D., an individual, and the filing was on March 16 2015 under an intent‑to‑use basis. The goods covered span International Classes 016, 020, 021, 024 and 025 – essentially paper‑based religious books and worksheets, banners, flags, glassware, textile banners and clothing such as shirts, caps and baby garments. A similar name would raise the closest record‑based concern if used for any of those listed items, especially religious publications or apparel. Because the mark is on the Principal Register and was never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the examiner’s amendment and the subsequent allowance, followed by the abandonment for lack of use. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern for anyone planning to use a comparable phrase on the same types of goods, even though the record does not control every possible use of the wording.
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.
