BLACK SHEEPSerial 99323484 · Principal Register
Pending · Published for Opposition
Owner: Brian Berger
Class 045 - Legal & Personal Services
Filed Aug 06, 2025
The record shows a live, pending application for the mark “BLACK SHEEP” owned by Brian Berger, filed on August 6 2025 and currently on the Principal Register; a Notice of Allowance was issued on March 17 2026, so the applicant must file a Statement of Use or request an extension within six months of that date. The only listed goods are “Internet‑based dating and social introduction services” in International Class 045, meaning the closest area of concern is any other online matchmaking or social‑connection platform that uses the same name. The record does not give Berger control over every use of the words “black sheep” in unrelated fields, such as apparel or food. The prosecution history shows the application moved from filing through examiner assignment, approval for publication, and then publication for opposition before the allowance, but there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing. The supplied history contains no oppositions, cancellations or court actions, so no enforcement activity is visible. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan a similar name for an online dating service.
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.
