The official USPTO status record for COVER SHEET PROVISIONAL APPLICATION FOR PATENT INVENTOR NAME: JACOB PEREL INVENTOR ADDRESS: 82-18 192ND STREET HOLLIS, NY 11423 EMAIL: [email protected] PHONE: 917-406-8978 TITLE: DENTAL FLOSS LOOP ON JUNE 1ST, 2020, WHILE SITTING AT HOME DURING THE CORONA VIRUS, I HAD A LOT OF TIME TO TAKE BETTER CARE OF MY DENTAL HYGIENE. ONE OF THE PROCESSES INVOLVED IN TAKING CARE OF MY DENTAL HYGIENE IS IMPROVING MY USE OF DENTAL FLOSS. I REALIZED THAT CUTTING THE DENTAL FLOSS TO THE RIGHT LENGTH AND WRAPPING IT AROUND MY FINGERS WAS OFTEN DIFFICULT. THE LENGTH OF THE CUT DENTAL FLOSS WAS NOT ALWAYS RIGHT, AND WRAPPING IT AROUND MY FINGERS COULD BE A PROBLEM. THE DENTAL FLOSS, COVERED WITH A THIN LAYER OF WAX, WOULD SLIP OFF MY FINGERS. I REALIZED THAT BY CONNECTING THE TWO ENDS OF THE CUT DENTAL FLOSS AND MAKING A LOOP, THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP COULD BE WRAPPED AROUND MY FINGERS WITHOUT SLIPPING OFF. ADDITIONAL BENEFITS: 1. THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP CAN BE MANUFACTURED IN MANY SIZES, BUT ANY ONE SIZE CAN BE USED BY EVERYONE BECAUSE THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP CAN BE WRAPPED AROUND THE FINGERS TO THE DESIRED LENGTH. 2. THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP CAN BE FORMED IN MANY WAYS. FOR EXAMPLE, THE TWO ENDS OF THE DENTAL FLOSS CAN BE TIED TOGETHER, OR THEY MAY BE GLUED TOGETHER. THE DENTAL FLOSS IS MADE FROM MATERIAL THAT CAN BE MOLDED, AND IT CAN BE PRODUCED JUST LIKE A RUBBER BAND. 3. FLOSSING USES ONLY A SMALL PORTION OF THE DENTAL FLOSS, AND THEN THE FLOSS GETS THROWN AWAY. ANOTHER PIECE MUST THEN BE CUT TO COMPLETE THE FLOSS CLEANING. WITH THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP, THE ENTIRE LENGTH OF THE FLOSS CAN BE USED, THEREBY REDUCING WASTE. 4. THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP CAN BE USED EITHER WITH BOTH HANDS OR BY ONLY ONE HAND. 5. USING THE DENTAL FLOSS LOOP WITH A THREADER ALSO MAKES IT EASY TO USE TO CLEAN DENTAL IMPLANTS., serial 90070442, as a dated PDF. One price, one document, delivered in about a minute.

The record shows that the mark “COVER SHEET PROVISIONAL APPLICATION FOR PATENT INVENTOR NAME: JACOB PEREL” was entered as a new application on July 27, 2020 and was later declared dead on July 29, 2020 because it did not meet minimum filing date requirements. The owner listed is Perel, Jacob, an individual. The goods listed in the application are dental floss. Because the application was abandoned, the record does not give the owner any control over the wording beyond the specific goods of dental floss. No enforcement activity appears in the supplied history. The latest meaningful event is the dead status on July 29, 2020. Since the record is not on the Supplemental Register and the mark was never approved, the closest concern for a similar name would be any use of the same wording in connection with dental floss. A person considering a similar name should be aware that the abandoned status means the owner has no active rights, but the wording could still be problematic if used for dental floss.

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.
