SMILINGSerial 86642040 · Principal Register
Dead · Cancelled
Owner: Wang, Chris
Class 009 - Electrical & Scientific Apparatus
Filed May 27, 2015
Registered Nov 15, 2016
The record shows that “SMILING” is a cancelled Principal Register registration (status dead) owned by Chris Wang, an individual, and it was cancelled on May 26 2023 because the required Section 8 declaration was not filed. The registration covered a fairly narrow set of Class 009 items—audio‑video receivers, camera bags, loudspeaker cabinets, cell‑phone covers, computer accessories such as keyboards, mice, cables, chargers, power banks, LED devices, webcams, tripods, and related electronic animal‑confinement units—so a later applicant using “SMILING” for similar electronic or photographic equipment would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The record does not give Wang control over every possible use of the word “SMILING,” especially outside those listed goods. No Supplemental Register filing appears, and the prosecution history simply moves from allowance to registration and then to the Section 8 cancellation. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a mark in the same electronic‑accessory space, but the risk drops sharply for unrelated product categories.
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.
