JUST BECAUSE IT'S TRENDING DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TRUESerial 88162406 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Lead Stories, LLC
Class 041 - Education & Entertainment
Filed Oct 19, 2018
The record shows the application for “JUST BECAUSE IT'S TRENDING DOESN'T MEAN IT'S TRUE” is dead; it was abandoned on Oct 2 2019 after the applicant failed to answer an Office action, and the owner listed is Lead Stories, LLC, a Colorado limited‑liability company. The filing covered Class 041 services – specifically a website portal that provides entertainment news, fact‑checking, and debunking of fake or viral content. A later‑filed mark that uses the same wording for a similar online news or fact‑checking service would run into the closest record‑based concern because the goods and services are narrowly described in that class. The record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the phrase in unrelated fields. No supplemental‑register details appear, and the prosecution history only reflects the abandonment notices and a non‑final action in early 2019. The supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or court actions. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a comparable web‑based news or debunking service.
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.
