Dead · Refused
Owner: Bentley Mills, Inc.
Class 027 -
Filed Feb 22, 2023
The record shows that the application for the mark CLOSE UP, filed by Bentley Mills, Inc., a Delaware corporation, is now abandoned; the USPTO issued an abandonment notice on July 29 2024 because no Statement of Use was filed after the Notice of Allowance was issued on December 26 2023. The only goods listed are “carpets, rugs, mats, and matting for covering existing floors; carpeting; carpet backing; carpet tiles” in International Class 027, so a similar name used for flooring or related textile products would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give Bentley Mills control over every possible use of the words “CLOSE UP” in other industries. The prosecution history shows the application moved through examination, was approved for publication, and then allowed, but it never reached registration because the required use evidence was not submitted. The latest meaningful event is the abandonment notice on July 29 2024, and no opposition or cancellation actions appear in the file. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan a flooring‑related brand with a similar name.
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.
