SOCK IT TO MESerial 86612269 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: AOL Inc.
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Apr 28, 2015
The record shows that the mark “SOCK IT TO ME” is dead; it was abandoned by AOL Inc. after the owner failed to file a Statement of Use or Extension Request following the Notice of Allowance. The mark was filed as a service mark on April 28, 2015, and the only goods or services listed were “Providing online videos featuring entertainment and comedy, not downloadable; entertainment services, namely, an ongoing online video series featuring entertainment and comedy” in class 041. Because the mark is no longer active, it does not give the owner control over the wording in any other context. The prosecution history indicates that the mark was approved for publication on June 3, 2015, published for opposition on July 28, 2015, and allowed on September 22, 2015, but the owner never completed the use requirement. No oppositions, cancellations, or court actions appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using the phrase for online video entertainment services, but the abandoned status reduces the risk of immediate conflict.

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.
