SMILE IT'S FREE BIHSerial 88790529 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Sol VonBuche
Class 025 - Clothing
Filed Feb 09, 2020
The record shows that the mark “SMILE IT'S FREE BIH” is dead, having been abandoned because the applicant did not respond to an office action. The owner listed is Sol VonBuche, a corporation organized in South Carolina. The mark covered clothing—specifically shirts, shorts, and shoes—under class 025. A similar name used for apparel in those categories would raise the closest record‑based concern, while use in unrelated goods or services would be farther from the scope shown. The record does not grant control over every use of the wording. The prosecution history shows a single non‑final action in March 2020 and abandonment in October 2020, with no supplemental register activity. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations appear in the supplied history. For someone considering a similar name, the abandoned status means the mark no longer protects the owner, but the specific clothing goods listed still represent the most relevant area of concern.

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.
