Owner: Kristen Wright Hollowell
Class 040 -
Filed May 31, 2026
The record shows a live, pending application for a service mark owned by Kristen Wright Hollowell, an individual in Mississippi, and it is being examined on the Principal Register. The only goods listed are “imprinting of decorative designs on T‑shirts” and “custom imprinting of hats with decorative designs,” so a name that looks like “OXBOW NINJA” used on similar printed apparel would be the closest area of concern. The record does not give the owner control over every use of the words “OXBOW” or “NINJA” in other contexts or on unrelated products. The prosecution history simply notes the filing receipt and entry on May 31 2026; there is no indication of a Supplemental Register filing or any refusal. The latest meaningful status event is that the application was filed and entered on that same date, and the supplied history shows no oppositions, cancellations or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a meaningful concern if you plan to use a comparable name on printed shirts or hats.

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.
