SOCK IT TO ME
Dead · Cancelled DEAD/REGISTRATION/Cancelled/InvalidatedWhat this record means
The record shows that “SOCK IT TO ME” is a cancelled registration on the Principal Register, owned by Frederick D. Goodwin, III. The mark covered a toy described as a combination sock and ball in class 028, first used in August 1981. A new name that is very similar would raise the closest concern for that specific toy product, but the record does not give the owner control over all uses of the wording. The prosecution history shows the mark was published for opposition, registered, and then cancelled under Section 8 because the registrant failed to file a declaration. No enforcement actions, oppositions, or cancellations beyond the Section 8 event appear in the supplied history. For someone thinking of a similar name, the cancelled status suggests the owner is no longer actively protecting the mark, yet the earlier registration still signals a potential risk for that particular toy category.
