SPORTY

What this record means

The record shows that SPORTY was registered on the Principal Register (Reg. 837966) to Sportsman's Market, but the registration was cancelled on Jan 29 1985 after the owner surrendered it under Section 7, so the mark is now dead. The only listed goods are “catalog” in International Class 016, which covers paper goods and printed matter; a similar name used for catalogues or other printed publications would be the closest area of concern, while uses in unrelated categories such as apparel or food fall farther from the scope shown. Because the registration is cancelled, the record does not give the owner control over every possible use of the word SPORTY. The prosecution history simply notes the surrender request and the subsequent cancellation; there is no indication of oppositions, cancellations by third parties, or other enforcement activity. I'd treat this as a modest concern if you plan a catalog‑related brand, but the risk is limited to that narrow field.
