POKEY

What this record means

The record shows that the mark “POKEY” was registered on the Principal Register on February 5, 1985, but it was cancelled under Section 18 by the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board, so the mark is now dead. The owner listed is D L Designs, Inc., a corporation organized in New York. The registration covered goods in class 016: greeting cards, writing paper, note paper, envelopes and brochures, with first use in November 1983 and use in commerce in March 1984. Because the mark is dead, it no longer provides protection, but the historical registration still indicates that the owner once claimed rights over that specific set of paper goods. The record shows no opposition, cancellation, or enforcement activity beyond the cancellation itself. For someone considering a similar name, the closest concern would be using “POKEY” on greeting cards or related paper products, though the cancellation means the owner no longer holds enforceable rights.
