BLACK SHEEPSerial 97303226 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Solis-Tao Inc
Class 003 - Cosmetics & Cleaning
Filed Mar 09, 2022
The record shows that “BLACK SHEEP” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead after the owner, Solis‑Tao Inc, failed to file a required Statement of Use following the Notice of Allowance, with the abandonment notice dated October 23 2023. The only goods listed are hair‑care products such as creams, lotions, preparations, gels, oils, spray and wax in International Class 3, so a later user of the same wording for those types of cosmetics would encounter the closest record‑based concern. The filing does not give Solis‑Tao control over every use of the words “black sheep” in other industries or contexts. Because the mark was on the Principal Register and never moved to the Supplemental Register, the prosecution history simply reflects the standard allowance and subsequent abandonment steps. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement signals appear. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a similar name for hair‑care items, but the risk is far lower for unrelated goods.
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.
