SPORTY SIGNSSerial 98883019 · Principal Register
Dead · Refused
Owner: Mathia, Ted,
Class 016 - Paper Goods & Printed Matter
Filed Dec 03, 2024
The record shows that “SPORTY SIGNS” is an abandoned application – the USPTO marked it dead on May 6 2026 after the applicant failed to respond to an Office action, and no registration was ever issued; the owner listed is Ted Mathia, an individual. The filing covered only Class 016 “Paper Goods & Printed Matter” with the specific description “Personalized Sports Signs,” so a similar name used for custom sports signage would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories would fall farther from the scope shown. Because the mark never reached registration, the record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “sporty” or “signs.” The prosecution history shows a series of office actions, a non‑final and then a final refusal, and finally the abandonment notice on May 6 2026; no oppositions, cancellations or court actions appear in the supplied history. I'd treat this as a moderate concern if you plan to market personalized sports signs under 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.
